meanwhile in other subcultures: #russia is loosing also at the spiritual front

Without any change compared to the draft document, the text of the 11th Assembly of the World Council of Churches, regarding the #war in #Ukraine, was adopted.
Yesterday in the original text released, dissatisfaction was expressed on the part of the Russian #Church, which went so far as to characterize the text at the same level as the announcements of Starbucks and Mcdonaldโ€™s.
Today, at the last meeting of the WCC in #Karlsruhe, the committee, after stressing that it had received more than 90 emails concerning requests for amendments to the text, decided not to proceed with almost any changes.

Russian propaganda in #Germany and #Italy is working against the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which was first recognized as independent in 2019 after receiving the Tomos. However, the pro-Russian and Russian #media do not recognize the independence of the Ukrainian #church from Russia and claim that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was formed as a result of schism and supports the war and nationalist rhetoric. Moreover, the propagandists write that schism between the churches (i.e., Ukrainian and Russian) was provoked by the fifth president of Ukraine Petro #Poroshenko. We explain what is wrong in the narratives of Russian #propaganda.

An investigation by journalists has revealed that the Russian Ministry of Emergencies is passing on information on deportees to the #clergy, who then find placements for them in churches, monasteries and convents.
Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of #Ukraine, the Ministry has been emailing reports on the occupied territories and deportations of Ukrainians to the Russian Orthodox #Churchโ€™s Synodal Department for Charitable #Work. The Ministry also provides the clergy with daily reports on the progress of #military action in the occupied territories of Ukraine and on the numbers of Ukrainians being forcibly deported, the routes by which they are being transported, and their time of arrival in #Russia.
The relevant emails from the Churchโ€™s charitable arm were forwarded to the journalists by hackers from #Anonymous and #DDoSecrets.
