| Tweet Нравится Ukrainian schismatics force hospital employees to sign petition “For one Local Church” Moscow, January 20, 2017 Employees of the Volyn regional clinical hospital, in the city of Lutsk, Ukraine, were recently forced to sign a document “For one Local Church,” as reported to Raskolam.net , a site that monitors the activity of schismatics in Ukraine. The pressure was initiated by Michael Zinkevich, administrator of the Volyn Diocese of the schismatic “Kiev Patriarchate,” and Sidor Ivan Nikolaevich, hospital chairman. “This event was extremely angering to hospital employees, as among them there are not a few people of different confessions and religions, but the signature collection was ‘voluntarily-compulsory,’” said the hospital source. Additionally, the “Kiev Patriarchate” has opened an entire parish in the hospital in the past year while clergy of other religious organizations have been faced with limited access to the institution. Philaret Denisenko’s “Kiev Patriarchate” has repeatedly resorted to such measures to promote its interests, seek recognition as an authentic Orthodox Church, and form one Ukrainian Orthodox Church under its control. The body is currently recognized by no one in the Orthodox world, as there already exists a Ukrainian Church under the Moscow Patriarchate, which Ukrainian schismatic bodies reject on nationalistic grounds. In particular, schismatic representatives recently demanded that clergy of the true Ukrainian Church be forbidden to conduct pastoral care in the Ukrainian military. 20 января 2017 г.

| Patriarch Bartholomew: “The Ecumenical Patriarchate recognizes the difficult challenges facing the blessed Ukrainian people today” Source: The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople Message By His All-Holiness to the Devout Ukrainian People on the occasion of the Triumphal Entry of our Lord Jesus Christ into the Holy City of Jerusalem Your Excellencies, the political and ecclesiastical leaders of the Orthodox people of Ukraine; Beloved and precious Orthodox Ukrainian faithful: Слава Христу! The Holy Mother and Great Church of Christ of Constantinople regards the Ukrainian nation and people as Her precious sons and daughters, born from the baptismal waters that flowed through the banks of the Dnepr River. From the days of our brilliant predecessor, Saint Photios the Great, the love of the Mother Church for the pious Christians of your lands has never abated. The Ecumenical Patriarchate recognizes the difficult challenges facing the blessed Ukrainian people today. Furthermore, it acknowledges the deep scars and open wounds from the grievous Holodomor, the World Wars of the 20th century, and the pressure on a nation emerging from decades of totalitarian tyranny. This is why we take this opportunity, on the celebration of our Lord’s Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem, to exhort all the pious Orthodox Christians of Ukraine that they maintain “the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Eph. 4.3) The Kingdom of Christ is not of this world, for as He Himself told Pilate: “My kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18.36) In the “triumph” that is foreshadowed on Palm Sunday, we celebrate the victory of love over hatred, of truth over falsehood, and of life over death. We believe that the goodwill of the Ukrainian people will succeed in bringing healing and ultimate reconciliation. As for the enduring ecclesiastical controversies, we know that by the Grace of God and the agreement of the Heads of the Autocephalous Orthodox Churches, the Holy and Great Synod of the Orthodox Church will be convened by us here in the year 2016. It is our wholehearted hope and prayer that, by that time, all divisions may be healed for the sake of the unity of the Ukrainian people. |

| Archive Пн ‘OCU’ supporters have captured a church of the canonical Church in Lvov 5 April 2023 year 20:46 On April 5, 2023, supporters of the schismatic structure ‘Orthodox Church of Ukraine’ disrupted the divine service at the St. George Cathedral of the city of Lvov, reports the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Information-Education Department. A group of people pretended to hold a meeting of the cathedral’s religious community with the aim to capture this church. The Lvov diocesan administration reported that at 9 am unknown people (about 50 of then) entered the cathedral territory and blocked the entrance to the territory and to the church. Led by Yuriy Kholod, vice-chairman of the Lvov Regional Council, they held a ‘parish meeting’ on the ‘transfer’ of the church community to the ‘OCU’. The gathering was also attended by a ‘priest’ of the ‘diocese’ of Lvov headed by ‘Metropolitan’ Makariy. The ‘OCU’ representatives had already held their ‘thanksgiving’ in the church. The instigators cried out pseudo-patriotic slogans in the cathedral and tried to provoke a violent confrontation. The cameraman who livestreamed the event was led out of the church by the police. The event in the church was also joined by radical rogues. At the diocesan administration, Metropolitan Philaret of Lvov and Galicia met with persons who demanded “to be transferred to the ‘OCU’ or to hand all the property to it”. The capture of the St. George Cathedral in Lvov was commented by Bishop Jacob of Drogobych. His Grace related that the Diocese of Lvov of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church would appeal to court over all that happened around the St. George Cathedral on April 5, 2023. ‘We stand for the settlement of any problem only legally. We are against raids and any violent captures. We are against any settlement of problems by force’, the hierarch stressed. DECR Communication Service /Patriarchia.ru Календарь ← 18 апреля 2024 г.

According to information from the “Kyiv Patriarchate’s” website, Philaret (Denisenko) had a meeting with the head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in America Metropolitan Anthony of Hierapolis and Archbishop Daniel of Pamphilon, the ruling bishop of the UOC of the USA Western Diocese. “In the course of the warm and amicable conversation the hierarchs discussed the issue of recognition of the Local Ukrainian Orthodox Church’s autocephaly by the Ecumenical Patriarchate,” the official website of the “Kyiv Patriarchate” reports. “The fellowship continued at dinner. The delegations exchanged presents to remember the meeting by.” The following day, November 8, Denisenko met with the family of Markian Paslavsky – the only volunteer fighter from America who fought on the Ukrainian side and was killed in the Battle of Ilovaisk. He “defended Ukraine” in the volunteered Donbass Battalion. “Patriarch” Denisenko posthumously awarded Markian with the medal “For sacrifice and love for Ukraine.” He called on the killed soldier’s relatives not to grieve for him but to be proud of him because, in his view, Markian gave his life for his native country and is now in the Kingdom of Heaven.

| USA prevented Ukraine from overcoming schism - UOC official It was possible to overcome the Church schism in Ukraine twenty years ago, but pressure on Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople from the American ambassador impeded it. Head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church press service Vasily Anisimov in his interview with Radonezh Radio spoke about the meeting of Patriarch Alexei II, Patriarch Bartholomew and Patriarch Ilia II of Georgia in Odessa in 1997. " Before the meeting Patriarch Bartholomew spoke briefly with journalists saying that in Ukraine there exists an apostate schism, which is a tragedy for those who have fallen into it, and for the whole nation. Thus, the Ecumenical Orthodox Church urges all schismatics to return to the saving enclosure of the Church of Christ, which in Ukraine is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The patriarchs were to sign the address, distribute it to journalists and give a press conference. We went to the patriarchal residence in the monastery to sign it,” he recalls. Later, the patriarchs came out in silence, got in their cars and drove away. " It turns out that the American ambassador in Ukraine called the patriarchal residence, demanding Patriarch Bartholomew to the phone, saying that the USA, which supports the Constantinople Patriarchate, support Filaret's schismatic " Kiev Patriarchate " in Ukraine and demanded that no such address be signed. One phone call, and moreover in a cynical and humilitaing form for Patriarch Bartholomew, thwarted the overcoming of schisms, " Anisimov said.

| Those who are seizing temples are warring against the Church of Christ, a priest in Kiev says/Православие.Ru Those who are seizing temples are warring against the Church of Christ, a priest in Kiev says Kiev, October 10, 2014 “The seizure of Orthodox churches, temporarily halted late in 1990s, has started again,” wrote Archimandrite Alipy (Svetlichny), Rector of the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul in the Nyvky neighborhood of Kiev on his “Facebook” page, reports Interfax-Religion . “What does it mean? Beyond a doubt it means that civilized laws are not working in the country, that the state system and the people who became a part of it have no real influence on the country, and that the executive authority is in crisis. Jungle law has set in, and so if you do not help yourself, no one else will”. “The opinion that, ‘if the Ukrainian Orthodox Church had become autocephalous no one would have touched It’, is completely wrong,” Father Alipy writes. “The point is that today churches are being seized by vandals for “the Kyiv Patriarchate.” If the situation takes a favorable turn, they will be seized by Uniates, then by sectarians (today we see that various kinds of sectarians are very bloodthirsty and aggressive, with their pastor Turchinov at the head), and next it will be the turn of pagans and other evil scum. This is the natural jungle law, by which the Ukraine is living today. “Each time the supporters of transfer (to “the Kyiv Patriarchate”) will have to change their orientation in order to keep churches. That is why I say: neither autocephaly nor union will help. They want the Church dead! The very Church of Christ”. 13 октября 2014 г.
