THE CHURCH WAR IN UKRAINE
On Episode 73 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, journalist and commentator Olga Ravasi discusses with Lara the growing controversy surrounding the Orthodox Church and the war in Ukraine.
Olga explains that much of the confusion comes from a misunderstanding of how Orthodox churches are structured. She notes that the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia, including in the United States, operates independently from Moscow and Patriarch Kirill.
She also breaks down the divide inside Ukraine, where the traditional Ukrainian Orthodox Church exists alongside a newer Orthodox entity. According to Olga, the Zelensky government has accused the traditional church of ties to Russia, leading to pressure on clergy, arrests, and restrictions.
The conversation reveals just how layered this conflict is, not only geopolitically, but spiritually and historically.
