Как сообщает Kiev online newspaper “Strana”, Lviv parishioners of the Greek Catholic Church are now afraid of confrontation with Roman Catholics, since most of the local RCC community are Poles.
“A war for churches could begin, and this could lead to a greater conflict,” the publication quotes the opinion of Lvov teacher Igor Romanyuk.
“The RCC has long been demanding the return of its former churches, which have belonged to the UGCC since the early 90s. Mokshitsky has already accused the UGCC clergy of “discriminating against believers of the Latin rite,” and the Ukrainians of “seizing” the churches of the RCC,” notes “Strana.”
At the same time, the rector of the Drohobych Theological Seminary of the UGCC, Miron Bendik, rejects the claims of Catholics, arguing that the Uniates, having received churches in the 90s, brought them to proper condition.
As PolitNavigator reported, in Poland the first restitution claims have been prepared property in Ukraine.
