No surprise since the so-called "new Rome" of Constantinople has been at loggerheads with the self-styled "third Rome" of Moscow for centuries. Currently a flashpoint - Ukraine.
Which was caused by No other that Bartholomew himself,
By the way , why wasn't his Butt Boy Metropolitan Epiphany present?
It's because of these two the Nicaea meeting was a BIG FAT FLOP
"He [heretic Leo XIV] added that he respects the "decision of the Orthodox" not to invite the world’s largest Orthodox group."

The Life of Patriarch Kirill #patriarchkirill #fyp
Does it seem he had any time to become anything but a religious? It's all propaganda to make us hate Russia. To hate Orthodox. There is a lot of talk about a lot of things. Yet absolutely no evidence on many things. He was into his faith since a young boy. Not the k g b. Just hear say Never ever any proof. That video is directly from a Russian person. So who would know better?
To be fair he did work with Soviet authorities, so I suppose you could call him a collaborator (not really an agent).
Because Patriarch "Kirill" probably won't show up to begin with. And if he were to show up, He would probably go off on their same sex marriages and blessings. And same sex adoptions etc.
Koch is spewing more Vatican Non-sense and Bull-Hash.
Greek Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem did not attend the Nicene conference in Turkey this week . He did not respond to the invitation from Patriarch Bartholomew, and it was reported that he did not attend, despite having been invited.
It was reported that Pope Twardos did not choose to attend
Ethiopian Abune Mathias was hand delivered an invitation from Pope Leo by a Bishop, it was also reported that he did not attend.
Patriarch Daniel of Bulgaria did not attend.
What about his Beatitude Tikhon, Archbishop of Washington, Metropolitan of All America and Canada - did he attend?
Did anyone see Patriarch Daniel of Romania? nope - he wears all white, easy to spot.
Holy Presence of our Lord and an age old devotion to the Theotokos are nothing compared to NATO, the EU, and the non-constitutional Anglo-American Zionist genocidal financial order I guess.
