The “Poroshenko Church” is expecting a mass flight of “rats” from the ship of the canonical UOC after Christmas
In the newly created Ukrainian church structure, subordinate to Patriarch Bartholomew, they hope that the provision of the tomos by the Patriarch of Constantinople will be the impetus for the massive transition of the clergy of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church to the ranks of the “Poroshenko Church”.
Father Ivan Sidor, a representative of the head of the OCU, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine Epiphanius, stated this on the Echo of Ukraine talk show, the correspondent reports. "PolitNavigator".
“I communicate with some priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in unity with the Moscow Patriarchate, many priests are waiting for January 6 (when they are expected to receive the tomos - Ed.). I, and not only me, but also the clergy, expect that after January 6 there will be a mass transition to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine because they are waiting for this basic document. I know priests and acquaintances who are ready to transfer. My sister is dating a guy who studies at the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, this is the UOC MP, and he believes that the church will be one because her father is a priest of the UOC KP, his father is a priest of the UOC MP. What church will they get married in? And so God ruled - one church. Obviously, the wedding will be celebrated in a single Ukrainian church,” he said.
