The main fighter against the Montenegrin godless regime, Metropolitan Amfilohije, has died
Metropolitan Amfilohije (Radovic) of the Montenegrin and Primorsky SOC died this morning at the Clinical Hospital Center in Podgorica.
In the hospital, the bishop was treated for COVID-19, but in recent days his condition has sharply worsened.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, the head of the pulmonology department of the capital's Clinical Center of Montenegro, Elena Borovinic-Bojovic, said that in recent days the Metropolitan felt consistently unwell, but after midnight his condition seriously worsened.
“After scanning the lungs and pulmonary arteries and the progression of respiratory failure, the Metropolitan was intubated and transferred to invasive ventilation mode,” the doctor commented on the situation that preceded the death of Bishop.
“This is one of the saddest days for our Church,” Serbian Patriarch Irinej commented on Metropolitan Amfilohije. - Great loss and great grief. A good man and a great theologian has left. We didn't expect this, we hoped that everything would end well. May God grant him eternal bliss. We have lost a great personality."
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also expressed his condolences on the passing of the Bishop to the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church Irinej and the Serbian people, especially in Montenegro.
Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro and Littoral purposefully resisted the attempts of the nationalist Montenegrin regime of Milo Djukanovic to rewrite the common history of all Serbs and strengthen the church schism in Montenegro. Also, after the country adopted the “Law on Freedom of Religion,” which discriminates against the Serbian Orthodox Church, he blessed and led lithiums - protest prayers and religious processions against this law, which predetermined the victory of the opposition in the parliamentary elections in Montenegro.
