The Patriarchate of Constantinople managed to cancel the decision to transfer the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to the Moscow Patriarchate of 1686, but did not recognize the schismatic religious structures.
The Ukrainian political analyst Dmitry Korneychuk spoke about this on Friday, November 2, commenting on the words of the bishop of Constantinople, the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarchate at the World Council of Churches, Archbishop Telmiysky Job.
Korneychuk ironically noted that “those still church“ trolls ”are sitting in Constantinople.
“On the one hand, as the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarchate stated, the Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate no longer exists in Ukraine. On the other – in general, there is no Ukrainian church before the unification, but there are simply churchmen who swore alms to Bartholomew, ”the expert writes on his Facebook page.
According to him, it thus appears that neither the schismatic Kyiv Patriarchate, nor the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church de jure exists.
Earlier, Archbishop Job declared that after the dissenters were “freed” from the influence of the Moscow Patriarchate, they were in the hands of Constantinople, who would decide their future fate , although he did not say exactly when.
