Public parade vs Cross procession: government’s battle for Tomos
The year of 2018 was different from the previous ones. The authorities of Ukraine are now making serious efforts to legalize the UOC KP and the UAOC under the guise of the Local Church. The official festivities of the Baptism of Rus were attended by the delegation of Constantinople, therefore the potent administrative resource was used by the power to reduce the number of believers in the Cross procession of the UOC on July 27 as much as possible, and to increase simultaneously the number of people at the event of the UOC KP on July 28th.
We will show if the authorities managed to carry out what had been conceived by them, how many people participated in the processions of the UOC and the UOC KP, and how all this was highlighted in the Ukrainian media.

Worse yet, it leads Christians in the West to ignore—or even cheer on—the eradication of indigenous Christian communities in the Holy Land.

Papal infallibility, intended as a gift to clarify doctrine, has instead become "Schrödinger's Pope"—a source of profound confusion because Catholics cannot agree on when or how often it has been exercised, rendering it practically useless for defining the boundaries of faith and causing more doctrinal chaos than it resolves.
