Representative of Constantinople does not believe Orthodox Church “One”
Orthodox Church is not “One Church of the Symbol of Faith”. This conviction was announced by representative of the Constantinople Patriarchate bishop of Avida Kirill (Catarellos) in the article, placed at Romfea.gr.
Bishop Kirill believes that despite confession of the “One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church”, nothing is said in the Orthodox Patristic Legendary that Orthodox Church is the Only Church of the Symbol of Faith.
According to the bishop of Avida, those who consider solely Orthodox Church to be “One Church” are misled. Based on the patristic and canonical legendary, “One Church” also includes other heterodox churches, believes the representative of Constantinople Patriarchate.
