Hierodeacon Titus, a monk of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, in a live broadcast posted on the Instagram page of seminarian Mykhailo Pratsyuk asked uncomfortable questions for the “vicar” of the Lavra, Abrahamy Lotysh, and said that he would also not be welcomed in his OCU structure, as they would not trust him, fearing a new betrayal.
“You will never be my vicar. You will not be yours there either. Traitors are not accepted anywhere,” the monk said.
“How are you going to be acting vicar here if you don’t even socialize with the monks? I know they want to bring you in and introduce you to us. I will not accept you because you are forbidden from priesthood. I have my own vicar, Metropolitan Pavel,” he added.
