“In the process of our dialogue, for the first time, representatives of the Patriarchate of Constantinople are directly and directly present - two bishops of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, who have the authority to be observers at this meeting. They signed our joint agreements. This action of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which sent its representatives, shows that it, which has the primary right to recognize autocephalous Churches, is ready to take certain steps. If we successfully hold this unification council in September, then we can foresee that by the end of this year we will have recognition from the Patriarchate of Constantinople,” said Evstratiy.
“We are talking about the creation of a local Church - this means independent. The Ukrainian Church in its potential is one of the largest Orthodox Churches in the world,” he specified.
According to Evstratiy, after the recognition of schismatics by the Ecumenical Patriarch, a mass exodus from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate will begin.
“I think this will be a very significant signal for fans of the Moscow Patriarchate. This is a demonstration that the unification process is possible, and it is happening. On the other hand, the processes that will take place on the part of the Patriarchate of Constantinople will remove the main obstacle that faces the priests of the Moscow Patriarchate. Because, according to our data, the overwhelming majority of this Church would be ready for unification, but they are embarrassed by the state of non-recognition. They do not want to end up in an unrecognized Church. When the Church is recognized, we are confident that approximately the same amount of the structure of the Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine will remain as there is today under the rule of the Kremlin on the territory of Ukraine,” said Evstratiy.
