Uniates set the flock for aggression against other faiths in Ukraine, – prohibited hegumen of UGCC

The abbot of the UGCC monastery of St. Theodore the Studite of the village of Kolodiivka Grigory-Anthony Planchak published an open letter to the hierarchs of the UGCC from the community of the monastery and the Church of the Entrance of St. Mary into the Temple in the settlement of Velyki Birky, Ternopil region, writes Gazeta-misto.

"What kind of Church is this to which we belong? We are seriously concerned about the present state of our Church.

Oh, it's getting more difficult to say "ours", when instead of faith politics becomes the core of the sermon, when instead of the monastic and spiritual life of believers we are set for aggression towards other faiths in Ukraine, when a loyalty policy is being implemented to what is "against God" – Sodom sins and LGBT followers.

And, if the aggressor is fighting us in the East, then the Galician land is empty without war, because people have gone to work. Is this patriotism? Therefore, families have problems – they are getting divorced, children become orphans not only because of war," said the abbot and blamed the leadership of the UGCC for appropriating the property of the monastery.

Earlier, on the basis of checks of the monasteries in the village of Kolodiivka and Velyki Birky in the UGCC, violations of monastic discipline and cases of committing exorcism without permission were detected. Priest Gregory Planchak, who confirmed "revelations from God", and one of the sisters of the monastery were removed from the service.
