UOC-KP denies requesting psychics but punishes the priest
"Neither the Archbishop of the Cherkassy eparchy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-KP Metropolitan John nor the rector of the Holy Protection parish of Olkhovaya Alexander Barey, nor clerics of the Cherkassy eparchy requested, in verbal or written form, the STB editor and psychics to carry out any investigation. The official website of STB displays false information," reads the statement of the press service of the Cherkassy eparchy.
However, "upon interaction with psychics, Archpriest Alexander Barey was imposed church penalty – he was relieved of his duties as the rector of the Holy Protection parish of Olkhovaya and suspended from ministry," says the press-service.
As reported earlier, KP priest calls upon psychics for the attack on the UOC.
