Today, at the site of ancient Nicaea, Pope Leo XIV joined around 27 other leaders of Christian communities to commemorate the 1700 anniversary of the first Council. Leo XIV thanked the Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, for his "great wisdom and foresight" in calling for Church leaders to celebrate this important anniversary together.

However, Patriarch Kyrill of Moscow was not invited to the ecumenical prayer.

Cardinal Kurt Koch told CruxNow.com ahead of the liturgy: "The Catholics have invited Catholics and the Orthodox invite Orthodox". He added that he respects the "decision of the Orthodox" not to invite the world’s largest Orthodox group.

No surprise since the so-called "new Rome" of Constantinople has been at loggerheads with the self-styled "third Rome" of Moscow for centuries. Currently a flashpoint - Ukraine.

Does it seem he had any time to become anything but a religious? It's all propaganda to make us hate Russia. To hate Orthodox. There is a lot of talk about a lot of things. Yet absolutely no evidence on many things. He was into his faith since a young boy. Not the k g b. Just hear say Never ever any proof. That video is directly from a Russian person. So who would know better?

Because Patriarch "Kirill" probably won't show up to begin with. And if he were to show up, He would probably go off on their same sex marriages and blessings. And same sex adoptions etc.

Holy Presence of our Lord and an age old devotion to the Theotokos are nothing compared to NATO, the EU, and the non-constitutional Anglo-American Zionist genocidal financial order I guess.
