(P.A., patriarchia.ru - google translation) The press service of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia publishes the resolution of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church on the report of Metropolitan Evlogy of Sumy and Akhtyrka dated March 1, 2022, with a message about the suspension of the commemoration of His Holiness at divine services in the Sumy diocese.

His Eminence Evlogy, Metropolitan of Sumy and Akhtyrka

Your Eminence, dear Vladyka!
 
I hereby inform you of the resolution of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, put on your report No. 03/03 of 03/01/2022 with a message about the suspension of the commemoration of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia at divine services in the Sumy diocese :
 
«02.III.2022 
To His Grace Metropolitan Evlogy:

I regret your decision to stop commemorating the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia at divine services.  I would like to give an example of Rev. Grigory Prozorov, who did not stop the commemoration of the name of Metropolitan Sergius, performing until 1942, i.e. until his arrest and death, worship in the only MP church in Berlin during the war.

The termination of the commemoration of the Primate of the Church, not because of doctrinal or canonical errors, or delusions, but because of inconsistency with certain political views and preferences, is a schism for which everyone who commits it will answer before God and not only in the future century, but also in the present.

+ Thomas, Head of the Administrative Secretariat of the Moscow Patriarchate, Bishop of Odintsovo and Krasnogorsk»
