An official of the Secretariat of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Andriy Yurash commented on the decision of the Committee on Doctrinal and Canonical Issues of the Synod of the Church of Greece to open proceedings against two metropolitans who criticized “anti-epidemic measures” and doubted the “recognition of the OCU.”

According to the “expert”, the two hierarchs referred to in the decision, Metropolitan Cosmas of Aetolia and Acarnania (Papachristos) and Metropolitan Seraphim of Kythiria and Antikythera (Stergiulis), are “hopeless outlaws.”

“There is no real and powerful opposition to the decision taken back in 2019 to recognize the autocephaly of the OCU among the Church of Greece: 2 hierarchs out of more than 100 bishops of this Church are not even an alternative opinion of the minority, but the position of a complete and hopeless margins – less than 2% ( I remind you: two out of one hundred and one bishops),” he noted.
