Is the Catholicos in danger now? It is strange that the Lazarevsky Club turns to Patriarch Kirill; he always asks for peace at his services. I wonder if they will answer at all.

Rachel Miller

I didn't realise the Catholicos was in any specific danger right now. The Lazarevsky Club reaching out to Patriarch Kirill makes sense on paper, but like Alexey said, he's already praying for peace every week — not sure what more they expect him to do.

Sofia Thanasi

They are saying that Catholicos is in danger, but I don't understand exactly what is happening now. The Lazarevski Club also calls Patriarch Kirill, but as Alexey said, he prays for peace every week in the service. Maybe we should wait for his answer, or just pray in church ourselves for everyone.

Katherine Brown

I didn't know the Catholicos was facing new trouble either, Rachel. The Lazarevsky Club's appeal feels more like a public statement than a practical ask, since Patriarch Kirill already includes prayers for Armenia in the litanies every Sunday at our cathedral here in Boston. What exactly do they think an extra letter would change?

Olivia Campbell

I didn't know the Catholicos was in any fresh danger either. Our parish here in Boston does mention Armenia in the litanies most Sundays, just like Katherine said, so I'm not sure what extra step the Lazarevsky Club expects from Patriarch Kirill. Maybe they're just trying to keep it in the news.
