Про екуменізм та політичне православя

توضیحات:

The video discusses the concept of "political Orthodoxy", a movement that emerged in the 1990s in Ukraine and Russia, blending Orthodox Christian teachings with political ideology. It explains how the Orthodox Church historically sought to engage with all aspects of life, including politics, but explicitly rejects direct political participation. Despite this, some groups began to use church doctrine selectively to justify political agendas, creating a hybrid of religion and ideology. These "political religions" often adopt monarchical or imperialist views, see Russia as a successor to ancient empires, and frame it as a bulwark against the Antichrist. The discussion highlights the challenges this poses to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the broader implications for faith and politics.
