2002
Conflict in the Sourozh diocese
By the decision of the Holy Synod of December 27, 2001, hegumen Hilarion (Alfeyev), upon elevation to the rank of archimandrite, was determined to be bishop of Kerch, vicar of the Surozh diocese (the diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church in and Ireland).
On January 7, 2002, on the feast of the Nativity of Christ, in the Smolensk Cathedral, Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad was elevated to the rank of archimandrite.
On January 14, 2002 in Moscow, in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, he was ordained a bishop. The consecration was performed by His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Russia, co-served by ten archpastors, including Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad (later His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia).
Soon after arriving in the Sourozh diocese (London) in early 2002, Bishop Hilarion of Kerch had an extremely acute conflict. The party of those dissatisfied with the activities of Bishop Hilarion was headed by the senior vicar - Bishop Basil (Osborne).
On May 19, 2002, the ruling Bishop Metropolitan Anthony criticized the actions of Bishop Hilarion in his open Address. The appeal reported that Bishop Hilarion has 3 months to “discover the essence of the Sourozh diocese and form an opinion about whether or not he is ready to continue in the spirit and in accordance with the ideals that we have developed over the course of 53 years. If he is not sure, and we are not sure, then we, by common agreement, will part ”; it also spoke of Bishop Hilarion:
“He has many gifts that I have never possessed and will never have. He is young, he is strong, he is a Doctor of Divinity, he has written several highly acclaimed theology books, and he can make a very significant contribution - but only if we form a team and are united. "
Bishop Hilarion issued a response statement, which denied the charges against him and in fact condemned the liturgical practice that had developed in the London Dormition Cathedral of the diocese.
As a result of irreconcilable confrontation, Bishop Hilarion was recalled from the diocese in July 2002; By the decision of the Synod, the title of Kerch was acquired by the oldest vicar of the diocese, Archbishop Anatoly (Kuznetsov).
Bishop of Podolsk, head of the Russian Orthodox Church under European organizations
By the decision of the Holy Synod of July 17, 2002, Hilarion was appointed Bishop of Podolsk, Vicar of the Moscow Diocese, Head of the Representation of the Russian Orthodox Church to European international organizations. While in this position, he was active in informational activities, issuing the electronic bulletin "Europaica" in English, French and German, as well as the Russian-language supplement to this bulletin "Orthodoxy in Europe".
He regularly took part in the meetings of the EU leadership with the religious leaders of Europe. During these meetings, he pointed out that tolerance should apply to all traditional religions of Europe:
"Citing Islamophobia and anti-Semitism as an example of a lack of tolerance, political leaders in Europe often forget about various manifestations of Christianophobia and anti-Christianity." According to the bishop, “it is impossible to erase two thousand years of Christianity from the history of Europe. Denying the Christian roots of Europe is unacceptable. But the importance of Christianity is not limited to history. Christianity remains the most important spiritual and moral component of European identity. "
He criticized militant secularism, urging Christians in Europe to engage in dialogue with representatives of secular humanism on the issue of spiritual and moral values. According to the bishop, "the explosiveness of today's intercivilizational situation" is largely due to the fact that "the Western liberal-humanistic ideology, based on the idea of its own universality, imposes itself on those people who were brought up in other spiritual and moral traditions and have different value orientations." ... In this situation, "religious people need to realize the special responsibility that is entrusted to them, and enter into a dialogue with the secular worldview, if dialogue with it is impossible, then open opposition to it."
During its leadership by Bishop Hilarion, the guests of the Brussels representation of the Russian Orthodox Church were Queen Paola of Belgium, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia Igor Ivanov, Primate of the Finnish Autonomous Orthodox Church, Archbishop Leo, head of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, Archbishop Jukka Paarma, Archbishop of Christ and the Czech Lands.
2003: Bishop of Vienna and Austria
By the decision of the Holy Synod of May 7, 2003, he was appointed Bishop of Vienna and Austria with the instruction of the temporary administration of the Budapest and Hungarian diocese and retaining the position of Representative of the Russian Orthodox Church to European international organizations in Brussels.
In 2003, large-scale restoration work began in the Vienna Cathedral of St. Nicholas. On May 24, 2007, the Cathedral was visited by the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin. The guests of the cathedral were also the Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Archbishop of Prague and the Czech Lands Christopher, Chairman of the National Assembly of Austria Andreas Kohl.
In 2004, began and in 2006 completed the overhaul of the church in the name of St. Lazarus the Four days in Vienna.
On October 13, 2004, the trial on the ownership of the Holy Dormition Cathedral in Budapest, which was trying to take away the Patriarchate of Constantinople from the Russian Church, was completed. In the period from 2003 to 2006, the cathedral was repeatedly visited by the highest officials of the Russian state, including the prime ministers M. Kasyanov and M. Fradkov. On March 1, 2006, V.V.Putin visited the cathedral. The result of this visit was the decision of the Hungarian authorities to carry out a major overhaul of the cathedral.
He spoke in favor of the possibility of using the Russian language in Orthodox divine services, making a reservation that he considers it unacceptable to reject Church Slavonic:
There are many barriers between the "man from the street" and the Orthodox Church - linguistic, cultural, psychological and others. And we, the clergy, do very little to help people overcome these barriers.<…>In our foreign dioceses, many parishioners, and especially their children, not only do not understand the Slavic language, but also poorly understand Russian. The issue of accessibility and intelligibility of worship is very acute.<…>I think that the rejection of the Slavic language and the translation of the entire service into Russian is unacceptable. However, it is perfectly acceptable to read some parts of the service in Russian. For example, psalms, the Apostle and the Gospel.
On February 1, 2005, he was elected assistant professor of the theological faculty of the University of Friborg (Switzerland) in the department of dogmatic theology.
On August 24, 2005 he was awarded the Makariyev Prize for the work “The Sacred Secret of the Church. An Introduction to the History and Problems of the Imiaslav Disputes ”.
September 29, 2006 called for the creation of an Orthodox-Catholic alliance to protect traditional Christianity in Europe. According to the bishop, today it is becoming more and more difficult to talk about Christianity as a single system of values shared by all Christians in the world: the gap between "traditionalists" and "liberals" is steadily widening. In this situation, according to the bishop, it is necessary to consolidate the efforts of those Churches that consider themselves "Churches of Tradition", that is, Catholics and Orthodox, including the so-called. "Pre-Chalcedonian" ancient Eastern Churches.
“I am not talking now about those serious dogmatic differences that exist between these Churches and which should be discussed in the framework of bilateral dialogues. I am talking about the need to conclude a strategic alliance, a pact, an alliance between these Churches to protect traditional Christianity as such - to protect against all the challenges of our time, be it militant liberalism or militant atheism, ”the bishop emphasized.
2007: Protest at the meeting of the Commission for Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue in Ravenna
Hilarion took part in the meetings of the Mixed Commission on Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue in 2000 in Baltimore, in 2006 in Belgrade and in 2007 in Ravenna.
On October 9, 2007, he left the meeting of the Mixed Commission on Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue in Ravenna in protest against the decision of the Patriarchate of Constantinople to include representatives of the Estonian Apostolic Church in the Orthodox delegation, despite the fact that “the Ecumenical Patriarchate, with the consent of all Orthodox members, proposed a compromise solution, which would recognize the disagreement of the Moscow Patriarchate with the status of an autonomous church in Estonia. " A participant in the meeting told the press that the Catholic side, as well as other Orthodox participants, were "somewhat shocked" by the bishop's ultimatum. The Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church at a meeting on October 12, 2007 approved the actions of the delegation of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ravenna.
As a result, the final document "Ecclesiological and Canonical Consequences of the Sacramental Nature of the Church" was signed in the absence of the delegation of the Moscow Patriarchate. The document, in particular, contains provisions that the Moscow Patriarchate does not agree with, such as paragraph 39 of the document, which refers to "the bishops of the local Churches in communion with the See of Constantinople."
In an interview with the Catholic agency AsiaNews, Metropolitan John (Zizioulas), a representative of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and co-chairman of the Mixed Commission, stated that Bishop Hilarion's position in Ravenna is "an expression of authoritarianism aimed at demonstrating the influence of the Moscow Church"; he also stressed that as a result, the Moscow Patriarchate found itself "in isolation, for no other Orthodox Church followed his example."
In response, Bishop Hilarion on October 22, 2007, accused Metropolitan John of “disrupting the dialogue” with the Roman Catholic Church. According to the bishop, the withdrawal of the Moscow Patriarchate from the dialogue was beneficial to Constantinople: “It is obvious that Constantinople is interested in expanding the Orthodox understanding of primacy in the Ecumenical Church. "The primacy of honor", assigned to Constantinople after 1054, no longer suits such representatives as Metropolitan John. And in order to turn the "primacy of honor" into real power, the provision on primacy should be reformulated on the model of the papal primacy in the Roman Catholic Church. As long as representatives of the Moscow Patriarchate continue to participate in the dialogue, this cannot be achieved. It will be much easier without them. "
In an interview on November 15, 2007, Hilarion criticized a number of the provisions of the Ravenna document in essence, but pointed out that it is necessary to give an official assessment of this document. He also stated that the number of the Russian Church "exceeds the number of members of all other local Orthodox churches combined." To the question: "Under what circumstances will the Eastern churches be able to recognize the Pope as the head of the Universal Church?" - answered: “Under no circumstances. The head of the Universal Church is Jesus Christ, and he, according to the Orthodox understanding, cannot have a viceroy on earth. This is the fundamental difference between the Orthodox teaching about the Church and the Catholic one. "
In 2009-2013, within the framework of the Synodal Biblical and Theological Commission (originally the Synodal Theological Commission), Hilarion led a working group that prepared an analysis of the Ravenna document. Of the Ecumenical Church ”, in which the disagreement with his position was confirmed.
2008: Refusal of nomination for the post of the head of the Orthodox Church in America
In July 2008, after the hierarchy of the Russian Orthodox Church had imposed bans on Bishop Diomede (Dziuban), he sharply criticized the latter.
After the dismissal of Metropolitan Herman from the post of Primate of the Orthodox Church in America on September 4, 2008, in October 2008, the candidacy of Bishop Hilarion (Alfeev) for the post of Primate of the OCA was proposed by several of its clergy. The reasons that prompted the OCA clergy to nominate Bishop Hilarion are listed in an article by the former rector of the St. Vladimir Seminary, Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko, in whose opinion Bishop Hilarion is “young, brave, smart, educated and proven”, “he has an impeccable reputation as an obedient hieromach ... He has an excellent reputation as a shepherd, teacher, preacher and confessor. He has extensive experience in the international activities of the Orthodox Church. He speaks fluent English and several other languages. He is respected inside and outside the Orthodox Church even by those who disagree with his ideas and actions. "
The nomination of Bishop Hilarion caused controversy within the OCA due to his being a hierarch of the Moscow Patriarchate and due to his conflict with the ruling bishop of the Sourozh diocese in 2002. By a letter to the OCA Chancellery dated November 6, 2008, Bishop Hilarion announced that he was refusing to be nominated, since he believed that the OCA should be headed by an American. The leadership of the Moscow Patriarchate supported the position of Bishop Hilarion.
2009: Chairman of the department of external relations of the Russian Orthodox Church, rector of the temple on Bolshaya Ordynka in Moscow

Five days ago, I accidentally (??) came across a brightly colored, high-quality photograph of one high-ranking, and at the same time very odious character (see below), which, upon closer examination, literally SHAKE me.
For two days I could not calm down, the same thought was spinning in my head: “Well, how is it? .. how can it be ?? .. WHAT IS IT ?? !!! .. After all, here it is, IT IS IT! !! " To say that I was amazed literally before our eyes by the self-fulfilling prophecies of the Holy Fathers, it means to say nothing ...
And this by the way, including my personal attitude to the past "Historical meeting" TM Pope with the Patriarch of Moscow at the Havana airport.
combatant
No, I knew a lot about this mega-promoted (and promoted!) Character in our Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate lately (sic!). So for the first time, this low-quality black-and-white photograph in the newspaper Spirit of the Christian, which I was subscribing to, made me think very seriously about the role of this priest in our Mother Church:
At that time, I didn’t really know how-where-what- (and why) to look for on the Web, I couldn’t imagine the word at all.
Little by little, understanding the Internet, three years later another information bomb blasted loudly, the consequences of the explosion of which have now been intensively cleaned up on the Web. It turned out that Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) was born of a Jewish father and at birth bore his surname - Dashevsky. I also wrote about this.
My persistent search brought another intermediate result - I found a color photograph of that picture I saw eight years ago:
At the dawn of his fast-paced career
By the way, judging by this photo, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, who was kicked overboard, could well reveal to the public the twilight milestones of the biography of the vice-president of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev), instead of the angry and pretentious denunciation of banknotes holders in Panama offshores. But something tells me that Mr. Chaplin, now frantically trying to join the camp of Russian national-patriots - who do not accept and therefore criticize both the course of Mr. Gundyaev and Mr. Putin - Mr. Chaplin will not to do this under pain of death. For the stakes in the Great Game on the disintegration of Russian Orthodoxy are very high, and the "legend" agent Dashevsky must be supported at all costs.
Met. Hilarion (Alfeyev) at the reception of the Pope. 09/29/2011
But I will continue.
This, in every sense, LOVELY denouncing - deeply legendary Vatican's agent of influence(this is at least), introduced into the ROC MP by the Uniate archbishop-crypto-Catholic and strenuously promoted upward by powerful anti-Russian and anti-Orthodox forces - a photograph in which Hilarion (Alfeev) was photographed in a vestment that issued him with his head was discovered by me here:

Honorary Prelate of His Holiness ( lat. Praelatus Honorarius Sanctitatis Suae) - Monsignor Ilarion Alfeyev, in person!

"Sutana (fr. soutane, ital. sottana- skirt, cassock), long outerwear of the Catholic clergy, worn outside of worship. The color of the cassock depends on the hierarchical position of the priest: for the priest - black, for bishop - purple, at cardinal - purple, for the Pope - white ", (Catholic Encyclopedia)
ferraiolo (cloak)
“... the highest of the three possible honorary titles for the diocesan clergy is the title freelance Apostolic Protonotary, (...) next ranked title Honorary Prelate of His Holiness... Both of these titles give their holders the right to be called "monsignors" and use special vestments - purple cassock with a purple sash and komzha and a black biretta with a black pompom - for divine services, a black cassock with red edging and a purple sash - at other times. Freelance Apostolic Protonotaries (but not Honorary Prelates) may also optionally use purple ferraiolo(cloak)". ()

For those who still believe that this is a skillful photoshop, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the original image of the highest quality:
And yet, yes. If the picture was taken in October 2012, and the current Pope Francis I was elected on March 13, 2013, then Metropolitan Cardinal (albeit freelance) Hilarion could well participate in the election of the current head of the Vatican Francis I:
Pope Francis I kisses the hands (!!!) of the Jews
And yes. Regarding the proofs of the diligently cleared biography of the grandson of Grigory Markovich Dashevsky - in the past a talented Jewish boy violinist, and now no less talented SECRET CARDINAL Ilarion (Alfeev-Dashevsky).
I repeat, confirming links (prufflinks) disappear from the Web, they simply disappear "at once". Here is already "castrated" (no year of graduation), but still a link. And a screenshot from it:
