Moscow Patriarch: Papism Is Dangerous
“We cannot allow that a likeness of papism, a ‘quasi-papism’, should emerge in Orthodoxy,” Moscow Patriarch Kirill said on November 4 after a Liturgy at the Dormition Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. He made his statement not in reference to Pope Francis but to the Patriarch of Constantinople who violated canonical rules by granting ‘autocephaly’ to the Ukrainian Filaret Church.
Why Is Papism Dangerous?
Kirill continued: “I will say perhaps a somewhat unexpected thing.” Then, he asked the question: “Why is papism dangerous?” First, he gave a wrong reason claiming that papism does not follow from the Word of God and the Church’s Tradition. Then he offered – quote – “another, completely different argument” by saying, “Papism is dangerous in that it is much easier to influence one individual than a group of people.”
Pope Becomes a Target
Kirill explained this in the following way, “A pope and a patriarch who wants to become the pope become a very attractive target to the powers that be, and an outside influence made on one individual may ruin the Church." At this point, it was evident that Kirill made a hidden reference to the Catholic Church.
A Synodal System Is No Solution?
The Moscow Patriarch went on praising a “system of synodal governance of the Church.” He explained that this governance was developed because in the Roman Empire it was allegedly impossible that only one individual should have borne responsibility for the whole Church since he could be arrested, he could be persuaded to cooperate, he could be scared. Kirill believes that all these dangers come to naught when the Church is governed collegially, synodally. However, the present Catholic Church shows that corrupt bishops will bring forth a corrupt synodal system.

The Papacy is rooted in Scripture. One man was placed in control of the Governance of the Kings House (Moses, Abraham, The High Priest etc.....)
Read Isaiah 22:22 (Dead Sea Scrolls version matches the Roman Catholic Translation) where Eliakim is elected as the King's Chief Steward, a forerunner of our modern day Prime Minister. Note the words spoken to Eliakim! They match exactly those spoken by …More

Read Isaiah 22:22 (Dead Sea Scrolls version matches the Roman Catholic Translation) where Eliakim is elected as the King's Chief Steward, a forerunner of our modern day Prime Minister. Note the words spoken to Eliakim! They match exactly those spoken by Christ - the eternal King of Jerusalem, to St Peter in Matthew 16

20 It will happen in that day that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, 21 and I will clothe him with your robe, and strengthen him with your belt. I will commit your government into his hand; and he will be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. 22 I will lay the key of David’s house on his shoulder. He will open, and no one will shut. He will shut, and no one will open. 23 I will fasten him like a nail in a sure place. He will be for a throne of glory to his father’s house. 24 They will hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the issue, every small vessel, from the cups even to all the pitchers. 25 “In that day,” says Yahweh of Armies, “the nail that was fastened in a sure place will give way. It will be cut down, and fall. The burden that was on it will be cut off, for Yahweh has spoken it.”
A lot of Orthodox Bibles miss out the second part of Isaiah 22:22 - but in the oldest translations available it can be seen to be present.

Kirill is a fool who's talking nonsense. Let us remember that it is a great friend of Castro, a friend of Bergoglio himself, who himself joins Kirill with his synodality. Here is a perfect isosceles triangle: Kirill-Castro-Bergoglio, red and Masonic triangle of course!

“We cannot allow that a likeness of papism, a ‘quasi-papism’, should emerge in Orthodoxy,” Already has and Kirill exemplifies it.
