Luni, 12 ianuarie, 2026, PATRIARHUL ORTODOX BARTOLOMEU AL CONSTANTINOPOLULUI a fost etichetat ca fiind "ANTIHRISTUL DE LA CONSTANTINOPOL", "ANTIHRIST ÎN SUTANĂ" "DIAVOL ÎNTRUPAT", de către Biroul de Presă al Serviciului de Informații Externe al Federației Ruse. Aceste etichete i-au fost date din cauză că Bartolomeu a dezmembrat Ucraina Ortodoxă și continuă activitățile schismatice în Bisericile Ortodoxe Lituaniană, Letonă, Estoniană și Muntenegreană. În lucrările schismatice, Bartolomeu a fost și este susținut de SUA și Regatul Unit. ... Pentru pacea de sus, pentru mântuirea sufletelor noastre, pentru pacea întregii lumi, pentru statornicia sfintelor Biserici ale lui Dumnezeu și pentru unitatea tuturor, Domnului nostru Iisus Hristos să ne rugăm! https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=876081092003160&set=a.200824452862164

"SVR Announcement on Patriarch Bartholomew's Activities

As an Orthodox Christian community, we strive to keep everyone informed about significant developments within the Orthodox Church, especially those that impact unity and tradition. Today, January 12, 2026, the Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) released a statement regarding the actions of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. This announcement highlights concerns over schismatic activities and external influences affecting Orthodox jurisdictions in various regions. For transparency and accuracy, we are quoting the SVR's announcement in its entirety below:

Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople: "Antichrist in a cassock".

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation reports that, according to information received by the SVR, Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, who dismembered Orthodox Ukraine, continues his schismatic activities within the Orthodox Church. Now he has set his dark eye on the Baltic states. This "devil incarnate" is obsessed with ousting Russian Orthodoxy from the Baltic states, establishing in its place church structures completely under the control of the Phanar.

In this, he is fully supported by the British intelligence services, which actively fuel Russophobic sentiments in European countries. At their instigation, Bartholomew, mired in the mortal sin of schism, has found common ground with the authorities of the Baltic states in an effort to sow discord in the Russian Orthodox world. Relying on ideological allies in the form of local nationalists and neo-Nazis, he is attempting to tear the Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian Orthodox Churches away from the Moscow Patriarchate by luring their priests and flocks into the puppet religious structures artificially created by Constantinople.

The "Constantinople Antichrist's" aggressive ambitions are not limited to Ukraine and the Baltics; his treachery is gradually spreading to the lands of Eastern Europe. In order to strike a blow against the "particularly obstinate" Serbian Orthodox Church, he intends to grant autocephaly to the unrecognized "Montenegrin Orthodox Church."

Church circles note that Bartholomew is literally tearing apart the living Body of the Church. In this way, he resembles the false prophets mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount: "They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. ... By their fruits you will know them."

— Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia, January 12, 2026

In our humble opinion, Patriarch Bartholomew has caused a great scandal in the Church. Statements from former U.S. Secretary of State and CIA Director Mike Pompeo highlight external pressures involved in his actions. In 2018, Pompeo expressed U.S. support for the Ukrainian schismatics led by Epiphanius to achieve autocephaly and following the 2019 anticanonical granting of the tomos which caused a schism in Ukraine, he described it as a "historic achievement".

Let's not forget the statements from the former CIA officer John Kiriakou who claimed in an interview with American blogger Julian Dorey that Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople had received money for establishing the "Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU)". While discussing corruption schemes in Ukraine, Kiriakou also touched on religious matters. According to him, Hillary Clinton, while serving as U.S. Secretary of State, asked Patriarch Bartholomew to declare the Ukrainian Church autocephalous so that it "would no longer be subject to the whims of the Russian Patriarch."

All of the above underscore the geopolitical influences at play, pushing the narrative that Bartholomew was effectively ordered to grant autocephaly to schismatic groups in Ukraine and now in other countries too, without the needed unanimous agreement of all local Orthodox Churches, further exacerbating divisions in the Orthodox world." https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=876081092003160&set=a.200824452862164
