	wfn.org \| NCC Welcomes Hard-Fought Recognition of Jerusalem Patriarch
		The NCC's General Assembly in November 2002 and again in November 2003 called on the State of Israel to recognize Patriarch Irenaios' election.
		Without the Israeli government's recognition of the patriarch, the Patriarchate - legally responsible under Israeli law for many Christian Holy Sites along with schools, hospitals and other institutions - was unable to exercise its responsibilities.
		"The Greek-born patriarch was elected by a synod of bishops in August 2001, but was not initially accepted because of his reported warm ties with the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat," reported the Geneva, Switzerland-based news service, Ecumenical News International.

		For centuries, the Jerusalem patriarchs have been of Greek origin and the Greek Orthodox nature of the patriarchate was protected by a 1958 Jordanian law.
		The only reason that the Ecumenical Patriarchate continues to have any presence on the world stage is due to the existence of 200 million Russian Orthodox believers, not due to the clout of Greek politics.
		Irenaios may have been declared persona non grata by his Holy Synod, but this does not solve the problem even if he does resign.

	The Shepherd 10, April 2005
		THE PATRIARCH of Moscow, Patriarch Aleksii II, has addressed a long and excellent letter to the His All-Holiness Œcumenical Patriarch Bartholomeos I, regarding the situation of the Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox parishes in Western Europe, the Paris Exarchate and, more generally, the broader situation of the Orthodox diaspora.
		Apparently, Patriarch Bartholomeos had expressed the opinion that “Western Europe and all the lands recently discovered in America and Australia belong to the area of responsibility of the Œcumenical Patriarchate.” His brother in Moscow points out with sound reasoning that this claim seems “completely fictitious and is without canonical foundation.”
		Oddly enough, for a long period after his election Patriarch Irenaios was not recognised by the Israeli government, because he was considered to be too sympathetic to the Palestinian cause.

		There had been rumors that Irenaios would try to convene a fresh Holy Synod and have the decision against him reversed after he tried to obtain the keys to the Hall of the Throne — a request that was refused by his opponents.
