The hierarch of the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia, Bishop Isaiah (Slaninka) of Sumperk, who earlier co-served with Dumenko, repeats the OCU schemes in order to take possession of a parish in the city of Brno (Czech Republic). This was reported by the UOJ with reference to sources in the PCChZiS.

Earlier, Bishop Isaiah removed the rector of the parish in Brno and appointed himself the leader. Now he decided to deal with the community (there are about 400 people in it), which does not agree with his fictitious superiority and opposes the seizure of the temple, and turned a scam for its “bankruptcy”.

Also, according to the parishioners, the hierarch organized a fictitious parish meeting, the chairmanship of which was attributed to the elder Michal Dvořicek (he himself did not know anything about this). As a result of the “meeting”, the existing community was “liquidated”. Instead, they created a new one, where Slaninka is already listed as the abbot. In addition, he misappropriated the community’s accounts, and, according to the telegram channel “Orthodox Czechia”, with this money he has already hired a private security company, which does not allow parishioners to visit the church.

The community of the Church of the Holy Martyr Wenceslas in Brno, led by the rector, Archpriest Joseph Fajsak, submitted the statement on the unlawful actions of the bishop and the supporting documents to the national Ministry of Culture.

Earlier it was reported that Bishop Isaiah is trying to seize the parish in Brno and illegally use the property of the Prague Diocese of the PCChZiS. Because of his actions, the church of St. Martyr Wenceslas was shut down, and the believers are forced to hold services on the street.
