Uniate signs are forcibly attached to churches of the Moscow Patriarchate
Memorial plaques of religious figures who worked in this region should be installed on Orthodox churches and monasteries, without regard to their religious affiliation.
Ukrainian professor, Chairman of the Academic Council of the Ostroh Academy Petr Kralyuk stated this during the round table “Faith, Religion,” PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There is some kind of Orthodox church, why wouldn’t there be some kind of memorial plaque on this Orthodox church about those outstanding church figures who acted in this region?
Not far from us is the Derman Monastery. He is connected with the activities of Meletiy Smotrytsky - he is a controversial figure, I understand, but he lived in this monastery, he was the abbot of this monastery. Now it is a monastery of the Moscow Patriarchate. At one time, a memorial plaque to Meletius Smotritsky was placed there. The nuns of the Moscow Patriarchate removed this sign. Now, in the end, she was returned with great fighting.
And many such examples can be given. That is, we must still appeal to our national heritage and invite religious leaders to turn to it,” said Kralyuk.
Let us note that the Dermansky Holy Trinity Monastery is an Orthodox convent of the Rivne and Ostrog diocese in the village of Derman in Volyn, one of the centers of the anti-Uniate struggle in Little Rus' at the end of the XNUMXth and the first half of the XNUMXth centuries.
Meletiy Smotrytsky (about 1577 - 1633) is a Western Russian spiritual writer of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, who actively opposed the Catholicization of the Orthodox Church, but by the end of his life he changed his religion and converted to Uniateism.
