Metropolitan of Cherkasy and Kanev Feodosiy said that clerics of his diocese are being persuaded that in two months there will be no UOC. Video message of the bishop published Telegram-channel Cherkasy blagovestnik.
“Now there are characters walking around Cherkasy who are directly related, on the one hand, to the PCU, and on the other – to the special services. They are talking to our priests, telling them that in two months our Church in Ukraine will no longer exist. Therefore, “get ready, think about where you will move to, only move necessarily with parishioners”, – said the hierarch.
According to the bishop, they say so because “if there are no parishioners, there will be no one to maintain the churches, which they plan to seize. There will be no one to pay utility bills. This is such a primitive and mercantile understanding these people have of the Church.”
“The parishioners will never move to you! You see in people the source of your welfare. But you do not realize that by taking over our temples, you will not get this welfare. People will still remain in the Church and with their priests,” Metropolitan Feodosiy emphasized.
