UOC Primate: we want real democracy to unite Ukraine
Ukraine is a country with different cultures, traditions, attitudes, and democracy should compose them together into one big and nice bouquet.
It was reported by His Beatitude Metropolitan of Kiev and all Ukraine Onuphry at the on-air UOJ Telethon on All-Ukrainian Cross Procession-2016.
“Those people who split Ukraine are pseudo-patriots. In their opinion, they are the only ones to be right, whilst the others are wrong. Those who disagree to their standpoint are all separatists. Yet a human can have his/her own vision of politics, social life – this is what democracy means. We want our country to enjoy true democracy to integrate various cultures, traditions, customs, and attitudes into one big nice bouquet called Ukraine.
It will be reminded the UOJ continues Telethon on All-Ukrainian Cross Procession-2016.
