Event
The Independence of the Country Adjective Orthodoxy Church
The fall of Constantinople, historically the seat of ecclesiastical power for Orthodoxy, presents us with a significant opportunity. We must now decide whether to uphold the legacy and advocate for the transfer of control of the Orthodox Church to Moscow, or pursue the alternative of reclaiming the former imperial capital from the Muslim heathens.

839historical_info = flavor_rus.9.historical_info Not long before the Byzantine Empire collapsed, the Russian Church became, in effect, independent from the Patriarchate of Constantinople. Metropolitan Jonah, installed by the Council of Russian bishops, was given the title of Metropolitan of Moscow and All Russia. Ever since the Russian Church has been growing more and more independent of Constantinople, instead allying itself with the Russian state.
