Constantinople (kathnews/RV) The Orthodox Bishops of the land have decided against the "intermixing of the internal affairs" by the Ecumenical Patriarch. At the meeting of the current Synod of Bishops in the last week, Orthodox dignitaries have directed a letter to the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Therein they criticized an address by Bartholomaios I in March. The Patriarch had asked the Greek Bishops to agree in one voice against the Greek Metropolitan.
He had engaged in a "tirade of hatred against the Pope, the Protestants and Ecumenicists". Actually, the comment was "exaggerated" according to the Greek Bishops, on the contrary, no Orthodox Bishop has the right to criticize another. This contradicts the so-called territorial principle, coming from the notes of the current Synod.
