>>15571880Because "Orthodoxy" exists as a schism rather than a continuation of the Christian Church. It collaborated extensively with Communism under the pretenses of having to "survive".
>* March of 1987: The Communist Kremlin “proposed” the beatification of H. Kostelnyk to the Russian patriarch. Kostelnyk, who was a Catholic priest, played a key role in the “incorporation” of the Ukrainian Catholic Church into the Russian schismatic church in 1945 —an operation forced by Stalin, at the cost of great betrayals. His mission finished, Kostelnyk was assassinated by a secret agent. The crime, however, was attributed by the patriarch Alexis to a “messenger of the Roman Pope.” And according to the same Alexis, the traitor raised to sainthood was a “inexhaustible testifier to the lies and evil of papism” (Catacombes, Paris, March/April 1987, pp. 9f.).>* February 19, 1992: “Revelations of the KBG archives show that the majority of the present day members of the Holy Synod [of the Russian schismatic church] …. were informants for the Communist secret police. Heading the list is the patriarch Alexis, the supreme religious authority of the country” (Veja, São Paulo, February 19, 1992).>* March of 1992: Speaking about the Russian schismatic church, the schismatic patriarch of Constantinople said: “All collaborated more or less with the [Communist] regime by necessity. Therefore it is not just for one Christian church to accuse another Christian church for having collaborated with the communists, as if it were the only one to so, in order to discredit it in the eyes of the faithful” (30 Dias, ed. port., March 1992, p. 36).https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/b004bht.htm
