==Schism with the Ecumenical Patriarchate==
Following the lead of the [[Moscow Patriarchate]], the monastery ceased [[commemoration]] of Patriarch Bartholomew<ref>https://orthodoxtimes.com/panteleimon-monastery-on-mount-athos-did-not-commemorate-the-ecumenical-patriarch/</ref> after the latter entered into communion with a body of bishops considered schismatic by the former<ref>https://orthochristian.com/119238.html</ref>, supposedly revoking the centuries-old recognition of Ukraine as Russian ecclesiastical territory.

[[True Orthodoxy]] does not disagree with the cessation of communion per se, nor would we have condoned the Phanar's creation of the [[Orthodox Church of Ukraine]]. Rather, it is precisely that the monastery considers its ceasing commemoration of its patriarch over his communion with schismatics as a canonical requirement, which is selective in its application. The heresies and communion with heretics in schism&mdash;over decades, of both the MP and the EP&mdash;are well known on the Holy Mountain and among those [[fighting from within]] everywhere.

Since the leadership have deigned it necessary to apply canons over territory, but ignore the same canons in case of [[Uniatism]], their betrayal of the Faith is exposed as wilful.
