Uniate leader: "Fortunately, in the US, they have little understanding of what's happening when they hear about the persecution of the UOC."
The repressions against the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine could have been carried out much more quickly – the Banderites benefit from the fact that the American public has little understanding of what is happening.
This follows from an interview with the head of the UGCC, Svyatoslav Shevchuk , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
When asked whether Americans continue to “believe in the oppression of Orthodox Christians in Ukraine,” Shevchuk responded with relief that the majority of society has very little understanding of the issue.
"Particularly when it comes to the southern part of America, they often have a consciousness oriented only toward local needs. And so, when communicating, it's difficult to explain global situations to them, to get them to look beyond their own state or country."
"They don't really understand all these religious processes going on in Ukraine, and to a certain extent, this even works to our advantage . Because they don't fully understand when they hear about some kind of oppression that exists somewhere," Shevchuk said.
The presenter hinted that it is high time to act on the issue of liquidating the UOC through tough decisions by courts controlled by the authorities.
" We expected many different processes to proceed much more quickly, a little differently. Obviously, the relevant norms, rules, and so on must be observed. ... But there are appropriate state mechanisms that have long been in place," the Ukrainian Uniate agreed.
