Zelenski as Henry VIII

The war which is taking place in Ukraine has been utilized for actions directed against Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The leader of this country has just announced that a decision is being prepared that “will strengthen our Ukrainian spiritual independence.”

It's a ban on Ukrainian Orthodox Church. On 19 October 2023, the ultimate Council of Ukraine adopted at first reading a bill on the inadmissibility of the activities of spiritual organizations associated with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. The thought came from the European Solidarity Party. In 2023 the Ukrainian Orthodox Church counted between 6 and 9 million Orthodox Ukrainians. It is besides 260 monasteries, 4,600 monks and nuns, 12,500 priests, 12,300 parishes.

The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and spiritual Organizations officially supported the initiative of Ukrainian leader Zelenski to legally ban Ukrainian Orthodox Church activities and consequently replace it with a fresh "nationalist" spiritual religion. "I spoke to members of the Council of Churches and spiritual Organizations. I am grateful for their support for our course towards the spiritual independency of Ukraine," said Zelenski. This means that the Roman Catholic Church does not object. In the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and spiritual Organizations, he is represented by the bishop of the Diocese of Kiev-Sythmite Vitali Kriwicki. It has supported since the beginning of schismatic action and the establishment of a fresh "denomination" called the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which was created in late 2018. Furthermore, Petro Poroshenko himself had a part in calling this church.

It is bad that in Poland the actions of this contemporary Henry VIII in Ukraine are supported. I'm talking about politics. Poland's support of any "national" or "nationalist" religions in the East is highly unfavourable from our point of view. Let us remember the function played by the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Volyn and the remainder of our erstwhile East Kreses during the massacre by Ukrainians from 1939 to 1947.

It is completely incomprehensible that the Roman Catholic Church in Ukraine does not see that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is simply a dam attempting to block a multi-colored and anti-civilized revolution that hatched in the United States and mostly infected Europe. It is in the planet of Western anti-civilization that war is waged against religion, tradition, and late even biology. The actions of the Roman Catholic Church in Ukraine match the behaviour of the carp, which demands the acceleration of Christmas dinner.

Unfortunately, many of the faithful and hierarchs of the Roman Catholic Church have forgotten about the “Message to the Peoples of Poland and Russia” signed by the president of the Polish Episcopal Conference Archbishop Józef Michalik and the Przemysl Metropolitan and the Sovereign of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarch and the full Russian Cyril. The paper signed by the hierarchs states: “We call on our faithful to ask forgiveness of harm, injustice and all evil done to each other...Every Pole in all Russian and all Russian in all Pole should see a friend and brother.” The preamble states that the Churches call on their faithful and people of good will to reconcile. We want to contribute to the work of bringing our Churches closer together and reconciliation of our nations. The leaders of the Churches then appealed to politicians, social activists, people of science, culture and art, believers and non-believers, "Keep making efforts to make dialogue, support what makes it possible to rebuild common trust and bring people closer together, and enable us to build a violent and peaceful future for our countries and nations. We are entering the way of dialog in the hope that it will aid to heal the wounds of the past, overcome common prejudice and misunderstandings, and strengthen us in our quest for reconciliation."

P.S. A fewer months ago in Kiev the Church of St. Vladimir and Olga of the Decimal Monastery of Ukrainian Orthodox Church was demolished. Only “The Orthodox Review” and “Think Poland” informed about this in our country. Unfortunately, the Church is silent in this matter. erstwhile they've completely rubberized it from public space, there won't be anyone standing up for it.
