Kiev Patriarchate and Catholics to hold ecumenical conference on the bones of fellow countrymen, – historian

The Ecumenical Conference in Lutsk with the participation of the UOC-KP, Catholics from Lublin and Lutherans from Munich will be held at the Volyn Orthodox Theological Academy, built on the site of the monastery cemetery destroyed by the Kyiv Patriarchate. This was told by the coordinator of the National Heritage Protection Committee, member of the Commission on Cultural Heritage and Cultural Values of the Public Council under the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine Igor Levchuk on his Facebook page.

"On June 6, a conference will be held with the participation of Orthodox from Lutsk, Catholics from Lublin and Lutherans from Munich within the walls of the Volyn Orthodox Theological Academy." The title of the conference is "Through a difficult past to unification." Then – a joint ecumenical prayer in the Holy Trinity Cathedral."

It's interesting but do Catholics know that this academy is standing on their monastery’s cemetery, which was thrown out by the "priest Zina" (head of the Lutsk and Volyn eparchy of the UOC-KP, Mikhail Zinkevich, Ed.)? It is he who will take them on a visit and lie about respect ... And do they know that at the place of the memorial to their fellow countrymen who fell in battle with the Bolsheviks, it was this priest who located his illegal shop ... Maybe someone would tell them about it, gentlemen so that they wouldn’t look like fools," the historian stressed.

As reported by the UOJ, unauthorized construction in the security zone on monuments of national importance is a sad phenomenon, which is already common for Volyn regional specialists.

Several years ago in Lutsk, representatives of the UOC-KP destroyed the historical burial mound Romansovka, and on the territory of the Holy Trinity Cathedral of the Kiev Patriarchate, in one of the ancient cemeteries in Lutsk, the construction was commenced.
