And one more piece of news from Belarus.
Lukashenko said that with the help of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, certain circles want to create their own autocephalous church like the OCU.
“There are separate episodes in this global confrontation that are of fundamental importance for the existence of the Belarusian nation. One of them, we have seen this recently, and with our patriarch (the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, – ed.) Recently discussed this topic, is an attempt to break Orthodoxy in Belarus. An attempt to break Orthodoxy in Belarus. Opponents of the Belarusian state are following the tried and tested path, wishing to declare autocephaly to the Belarusian Orthodox Church. Letters have already been sent to Constantinople,” Lukashenko said.
Well, as for the analogue of the OCU, then on the example of Ukraine we see that without the support of the state, this process is unlikely to get off the ground.
Although an attempt to create a “Belarusian Church in Exile” under the control of Bartholomew may well be.
