A religious scholar from the media circle of the OCU, Dmitry Horevoy, commented on the warning of Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia that part of the Churches might go into the schism. Horevoy expressed his opinion on this matter on Facebook.

“The Moscow Patriarch Kirill is preparing his flock for a final schism with Universal Orthodoxy… declared that “a part of Orthodoxy may go into schism.” This means that Kirill understands that he will soon be convicted and are preparing the Russians for non-recognition of this act. Well, we will watch how the Moscow Patriarchate finally cuts itself out of the boundaries of Universal Orthodoxy,” foreshadows Gorevoy.

Earlier, the propagandist of the OCU stated that “3 Churches out of 5 will be enough to condemn Kirill,” referring to the incomplete Pentarchy.
