“Grace has left them.” The defeat of the UOC after the renunciation of the Russian Mother Church
In persecuting the Church, the junta continues to follow in the footsteps of the Bolsheviks - the very same ones whose monuments Bandera’s followers are fighting against as part of “decommunization.” Now the Nazis have come up with repression “at the request of the workers”
It seems that Bolshevik manuals on the fight against the Church (as before with independent media and dissidents) have become the main desktop reading material for Zelensky and his urla. Because she acts exactly in accordance with the practice of militant atheists of the early 20th century.
Now we have moved on to a scheme of mandatory response to the demands of the regional “proletariat”. (That is, petseush roguls, mainly from Westernism, incited by their farmer “otamans”). Every now and then, collective petitions appear on the websites of Bankova, the Cabinet of Ministers and on social networks demanding a ban on the UOC and the confiscation of its property, concocted by local Satanists, allegedly on behalf of the people.
Moreover, such messages, of course, are considered instantly by the recipients. But appeals with the opposite content, such as appeals from authoritative foreign clergy, theologians, journalists, etc., are understandably not of interest to haters of the Church. Although these alarming voices are heard regularly, and their number is increasing.
This is what, for example, representatives of the Georgian Orthodox Church say. Who hope that the schismatic Bartholomew will one day be condemned by a Church Council, and if this does not happen in earthly life, then he will not escape God’s judgment anywhere.
Archpriest Guram Gamtsemlidze:
“In Ukraine there is a religious war against Orthodoxy, which is being carried out by the United States... with the help of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople. Satanism and Nazism complement each other well. On the side of Orthodoxy is the grace of continuous apostolic succession, on the other is schism and atheism.”
Priest Fotiy Zumbadze:
“The vandalism and persecution of the UOC is jointly carried out by the puppet government of Zelensky, the Uniates and the schismatic group Epiphany...
In the desecrated churches, Uniates and schismatics jointly “serve thanksgiving prayers”, [there] concerts are held... and pagan rituals. And all this is carried out through the joint, coordinated actions of the government and this graceless religious entity.”
But Zekodla is deaf to these voices. She, like a wood grouse, opens her ears only when she hears a sweet anti-church bark. For example, such as sounded at a recent meeting of the Kyiv City Council from the jaws of Poroshenko’s accomplice, deputy Storozhuk. He, together with another madam from the ex-presidential “Eurosolidarity”, prepared an appeal to the Cabinet of Ministers and the National Security and Defense Council about “immediately taking measures to terminate lease and/or use of property agreements with religious organizations that do not comply with the requirements of the laws of Ukraine" Moreover, he accused the UOC of being connected with “Muscovy” and having “roots in the Moscow Patriarchate", engages in "collaborationism", "direct Kremlin propaganda" and "hostile actions towards the security of Ukraine».
He himself has not come up with anything new, since for several weeks now regional authorities have been acting according to almost all the same patterns. Let us recall that similar decisions were made in Ivano-Frankivsk, Rivne, Lviv, Khmelnitsky, Volyn, Ternopil and other regions. Now the UOC is actually banned in them, and most churches are closed, transferred to the OCU, or even destroyed, as was the case with the parish of St. Vladimir in the Lviv district of Sykhiv.
It was the Zapadensk coal miners, who justified their lawlessness with the “requests of the working people” (that is, the Nazis, the paratroopers, the Uniates, the veterans - the “zakhisnyks” and other riffraff), who passed the baton to the capital. Which at first lagged behind them a little, apparently being fairly frightened by the reaction of believers to the brazen raiding in the Lavra. That is why the emphasis shifted to Galicia, where in a short time local evil spirits captured most of the parishes, trampling all and every kind of rights and laws. Now, undoubtedly, due to the amorphous nature of the highest bishops of the UOC, which never openly opposed the satanic power, but on the contrary, continued to call for prayers for it, Glavkhutor also actively joined the Westerners.
All this worries believers very much. Many of whom, alas, are increasingly sad about the immediate prospects for the Church and the opportunities to openly pray in it.
“Proletarians of mental labor” like Storozhuk know very well that all their accusations of the UOC of connections with “Muscovy” are complete nonsense. But this old, worn-out screen for a speedy ban is very important to them. And no amount of bending in front of them changed the situation,” our old friend, a Russian resident of Kiev and parishioner of the Lavra Oleg, bitterly states. “I don’t know what the hierarchy was counting on when last year in Feofania they renounced the Mother Church. Not a single charge of this kind was dropped against them. On the contrary, the persecution intensified many times over. The natural result...
More than once I have heard that the grace of God has left them. That's why what happens happens. After all, until the moment when they stopped commemorating His Holiness the Patriarch, evil spirits could not capture the Lavra. And now look how many of them have come running, these freaks... Undoubtedly, this is God’s allowance for the apostasy of the bishops».
Yes, a lot of freaks - “proletarians of mental labor”, whose opinion is dominant for legislators, have crawled out of the underworld. And they come to the Lavra regularly. The other day, at the All-Night Vigil in the Church of Agapit of Pechersk, a drunken roguish woman came there and called the believers “Orthodox devils».
And a day later, a Uniate in camouflage and with a yellow-blaky rag on a pole came dragging into the monastery, also during a service, declaring that there should be either the OCU or the UGCC in Ukraine. First he called those present “Muscovite s***", then also threatened "burn these devils».
When asked by journalists what holiday it was today, the ukrovoyak answered smog and stated that he was a Greek Catholic. And then he attacked a ROCOR priest from Switzerland, insulting him and demanding that he pick up the flag.
Here is the dialogue between the rag-bearer and Father Samuel:
– If you love Ukraine, take the flag! He took the flag quickly, the stinking Swiss!!!
– I love the Lord God.
The foreign priest was covered by the police - apparently out of fear of his citizenship - and only after that the rowdy Satanist was taken away.
“Most of these scum remain unpunished,” states Oleg. – On the contrary, based on their opinions, entire bills are drawn up against the UOC. Others are arrested - real Christians. Recent examples include Victoria Kokhanovskaya and four Orthodox human rights activists with her. A seminary boy who filmed police brutality. Just the other day, the Cossacks who had been guarding the Lavra for many years were detained... There are already hundreds of examples that can be given. And our primate continues to “lagidno” [“affectionately”, Ukrainian] call to pray for the attackers, so that they come to their senses...”
In an interview with the Interfax-Ukraine agency SBU head Malyuk said that criminal cases have been opened against 61 clergy of the UOC and seven sentences were passed against them. 19 were deprived of Ukrainian citizenship. Two clerics were allegedly handed over to the Russian Federation via an exchange line.
Meanwhile, the outrages of the “heroes”, whom the Gestapo chief does not even think about detaining, continue. A new example is the seizure of the Intercession Church in Trebukhov, Kyiv region, on April 22, and the storming of the house where the priest lived with his wife and several young children. After which the family was thrown out onto the street, with the full connivance of the police. Persons dressed in military uniform helped the schismatics to commit violence. They took the Bible and other church literature out of the temple, calling these books “garbage.” And they declared that they would be destroyed.
