| Wolves in Sheepâ s Clothing examines the Russian Orthodox Churchâ s historic devolution from a church to a mere peddler of political power as a state intelligence instrument. Todayâ s Russian Orthodox Church seeks to emerge as the most consequential syndicate of social influence across Europe in service to Vladimir Putinâ s quest for empire. The Moscow Patriarchateâ s breach of Orthodox unity over the reemergence of an autocephalous Orthodox Church of Ukraine under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarch prioritizes Russian nationalism at the expense of traditional Christian values. The reasoning is neither ecclesial nor theological but a brazen attempt to prolong Russiaâ s social suzerainty over its neighbors and impose a European submission to the Russkiy Mir. Patriarch Kirillâ s intention is to displace Constantinople as the centre of Orthodoxy and finally establish Moscow as the â New Romeâ . Moscowâ s geopolitical proposition is pregnant with peril. Moscow has the audacity to plead religious persecution by undermining their neighborsâ right to control their Orthodox churches while simultaneously banning the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Russian occupied territories. An inescapable conclusion emerges from it all: The Russian Orthodox Church is a potent and pernicious threat to European cohesion, security, and democracy. |
