Russian Orthodox Church severs links with Constantinople
|
|
|
In a major religious split, the Russian Orthodox Church has cut ties with the body seen as the spiritual authority of the world's Orthodox Christians. The break came after the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople recognised the independence of the Ukrainian Church from Moscow. The row is being described as the greatest Orthodox split since the schism with Catholicism in 1054. Relations soured after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. |
