Metropolitan Epiphanius emphasized: if a priest does not openly preach the ideology of the “Russian world”, does not defile himself with this ideology, then he is accepted.

Metropolitan Epiphanius, head of the HCU, announced that the WTO will examine the priests of the UOC-MP who expressed the desire to join the Local Church in order to prevent the destruction of the OCU from within. The Spiritual Front of Ukraine writes about it.

Epiphanius emphasized that recently Orthodox communities are joining the WTO with their abbots.

We see a trend that the priests are beginning to understand and realize, they are losing fear. They were intimidated, they were bought, but gradually the priests began to support the decisions of their communities and join the WTO,” said the primate.

Epiphanius emphasized: if a priest did not openly preach the ideology of the “Russian world”, did not defile himself with this ideology, then he was accepted.

“It’s easy to see – by community. When the community decides to move, and the priest supports the community, this indicates that he is a patriot, even if he was part of the Moscow Patriarchate for some time. I am convinced that there are still many priests there who are Ukrainian patriots. Of course, the clergy and bishops who openly preached this ideology, who have Russian passports, but in the future want to go to OCU, should repent, renounce Russian citizenship, and renounce the ideology of the “Russian world “. Then there will be an appropriate decision on their entry into the WTO. I see and hear that Ukrainian society cares about this. Therefore, we will check, do everything to make sure that those people, coming to the Ukrainian church, do not destroy it from the inside,” stressed the OCU primate.

Recently it was reported that eight parishes of the Khmelnytsky region were transferred to the OCU.

Recall that the OCU held the first Easter service in the Lavra.
