recognition Tomos, issued by the schismatic Ukrainian Orthodox Church (PCU), from Alexandria Patriarchate and the Greek Orthodox Church will lead to new attempts to capture temples, belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate (UPC MP). This is a comment Federal News Agency said the Kiev Orthodox writer Dmitry Skvortsov.
"I think, inside dissenters Ukraine will get a charge of enthusiasm. And try to make regular seizures of Orthodox churches. Especially, the day before the Ukrainian Minister of Culture Vladimir said Borodyansky, that government intervention in church affairs - it is good and right ", - the interlocutor said FAN.
If President Vladimir Zelensky not put in place of "high-handed official", then it will be possible, that in Ukraine the pressure on the UOC-MP will continue, as it was under Peter Poroshenko, said Dmitry Skvortsov.
In this case, the expert is sure Orthodox, that psevdopriznanie DNC from a number of local Orthodox Churches will not affect the priests and parishioners of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
"All, who was determined to go into the DNC, gone. And some, repented, already back. We remember from history, that in the XV century, the patriarch of Constantinople passed into the union. And with him went all the Orthodox Church of Constantinople. Only Maximus the Confessor refused to go to the union with the Catholics. And time has proved him right ", - the interlocutor said FAN.
According to him, Orthodox in Ukraine believe, that even if the Moscow Patriarchate break relations with the Greek Church, which will become "psevdotserkvyami", consigned in split, it will not go to the detriment of the Orthodox Faith.
"We clearly see, that Russia, that we tried to 2014 was isolated from the Western world, only strengthened. And the Russian Orthodox Church, isolated from all heresies and distortions in the Greek Orthodox, It will only be stronger and clearer. Not by chance, Patriarch Kirill said explicitly about the papal ambitions of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew. In any case, the truth remains after those, who does not recognize the schismatic DNC ", - summed up the source FAN.
Currently issued DNC Tomos recognized Greek Orthodox Church and the Patriarchate of Alexandria. Meanwhile, most of the local Orthodox churches in the world does not recognize Tome.
