DISINFO: Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is meeting his masters
SUMMARY
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew is visiting Washington and he will meet US President Joe Biden in the White House. This is not a surprise as the Americans were behind Bartholomew's decision to grant autocephaly to the schismatic Church of Ukraine in order to split Ukraine from Russia.
RESPONSE
Pro-Kremlin disinformation outlets frequently attack the establishment of an autocephalous Ukrainian church.
The Constantinople Patriarchy, not the US, decided to grant the autocephaly to the Ukrainian church. The final decision was made in January 2019, when all members of the Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate signed off the Tomos of autocephaly. The signing of the Tomos happened after years of deliberations as well as careful preparations and considerations by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and the Holy Synod.
