Alexy II Patriarch of Moscow and all the Rus'
Patriarch Alexy II or Alexius II
Alexy II was the 15th Patriarch of Moscow and all the Rus', the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Priests were beaten, shrines were defiledThe Orthodox dioceses in Lvov, Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were literally destroyed. This happened on a wave of wild nationalism, with the help of the paramilitary organization UNA-UNSO. Orthodox were expelled from their churches, clergymen were beaten, shrines were defiled. This could still be imagined in the Middle Ages, but for this to happen in the 20th century in relation to the "Sister Church" — it does not fit in the mind. On the territory of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, proselytism is carried out — which also cannot take place in relations between sister Churches. There is a Catholic expansion. Only in Russia there are about ten missionary Catholic orders.
