The war of Uniates against the UOC: a white klobuk – a black soul
Why do the icons of the Uniate churches depict Yanukovich, Yushchenko, Putin, Kuzma and the UGCC head Shevchuk?
Why does the patriotic UGCC serve in the "language of the invader"?
Why does Greek-Catholic leader Sviatoslav Shevchuk call Taras Shevchenko a Uniate?
Why do Uniates mimic the Orthodox Church stating that:
- the UGCC has Orthodox dogmatism,
- the UGCC is an heir of the Kiev Orthodoxy,
- Catholicism does not contradict the purity of the Orthodox faith,
- Prince Vladimir, having baptized Rus in the Orthodox faith, made the European choice.
And finally, why did exactly the Uniate MPs turn out to be the authors of anti-Orthodox bills 4128, 4511 and even the initiators of the address to the Ecumenical Patriarch on legalization of the UOC-KP?
