Metropolitan Neophyte noted in an interview with the YouTube channel “Save and Save” that the time will come when the Ukrainian Orthodox Church will receive autocephaly.

The hierarch added that the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the omophorion of Metropolitan Onufry is recognized by the majority of Orthodox Churches.

“In the future, the Lord will give the Ukrainians patience and light, and slowly they too will receive Autocephaly, as the Cypriot Church has had it for many centuries,” the bishop said.

“It is fair. But the one who has the right is not Epifaniy, but Onufry,” Metropolitan Neofit emphasized.
