εισπήδηση encroachment Explanation: " Holy Canons ordain that actions which certainly cause harm to canonical order and infringe upon it, in constituting an encroachment on the canonical territory of another Church, should be decried and condemned. .......... hose who operate and act beyond their bounds are to be dealt with severely (35th Canon of the Holy Apostles, 2nd canon of the second Ecumenical Council, and others that concur), since by such encroachments on the provinces of others they drive away concord and good order, and confuse the Churches by becoming the tutors and perpetrators of disorder." http://www.orthodoxnews.netfirms.com/119/Act of the Major.ht... "Therefore, the persistence of H.B. the Archbishop of Athens, from the moment of his accession to the Archdiocese of Athens, in pursuing his arbitrary and defiant, direct or indirect contestation of this paramount canonical prerogative of the Mother Church, as determined by means of the ten terms of the Patriarchal and Synodical Act of 1928, did reasonably cause repeated interventions on the part of the Ecumenical Throne in order to avert the perpetration by word and deed of such un-canonical acts. Regrettably, the exhortations and suggestions of the Mother Church, that were offered in much love, to the effect that the terms of the Patriarchal and Synodical Act merited dutiful respect, were not only defiantly ignored, but also intentionally exploited by His Beatitude the Archbishop of Athens to cause confusion, and to establish the preconditions for the arbitrary incorporation of those Provinces of the Ecumenical Patriarchate under the absolute canonical jurisdiction of the Most Holy Church of Greece, a fact which in itself constitutes a violation of Orthodox canonical order, and an un-canonical encroachment on another Ecclesiastical jurisdiction." http://www.mpc.org.mk/English/news2.asp?id=329 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 30 mins (2005-04-27 20:44:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"They see this as a Catholic encroachment in their canonical territory,\" said the Rev. Marcel Guarnizo, president of the Aid to the Church in Russia organization in a telephone call from Rome.\" http://www.stetson.edu/~psteeves/relnews/0203a.html \"The Russian Orthodox Church has expressed indignation at Constantinople Patriarch Bartholomew\'s another encroachment on its canonical territory in Estonia. One of these days during his visit to Estonia, Patriarch Bartholomew stated that in the country there should be only one orthodox jurisdiction, the Estonian Church of the Constantinople Patriarchate. Thus, as they said in the Moscow Patriarchate, Bartholomew has actually declared war on the Russian Church by taking this unprecedented anti-canonical step.\" http://english.pravda.ru/politics/2000/11/03/680.html \"A Turkish court has acquitted Istanbul-based Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos I on charges of alleged encroachment on the rights and religious freedoms of the Bulgarian Christian community in Istanbul.\" http://www.eni.ch/highlights/news.shtml?2004/12 \"Even in Brazil, where the church has strongly resisted Vatican encroachment, the pendulum is swinging to the right, threatening to end the prophetic leadership of the country\'s bishops.\" http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Independent_Media/Peoples_... |
