Russian Orthodox Church elects Kirill 16th patriarch
Thanks to the Young Fogey for the lead on this. The L.A. Times reports:
“It is with humility and full understanding of my responsibility that I accept the divine choice through which I am being handed the mission to serve as patriarch,” Kirill said after the results of a secret vote were announced. “At the center of this mission is the cross of Christ.”
Amen and Sto Lat!
