A schismatic against schism: Clerics of the UOC KP dishonor Church by words and deeds

The clergy of the UOC-KP are savages and ignoramuses, who "compensate" these qualities with crookedness and insolence, "bishop" of Lutsk and Rovno of the "Ukrainian Autonomous Truly Orthodox Church" (UATOC) Job Konovalyuk said in his interview to Portal-Credo outlet.

"I am extremely worried about some ecclesiastical and simply human wildness, which has become inherent in many clerics of the UOC-KP, who consider themselves to be the" salt of the earth ", that is, true patriots-builders of the Ukrainian Local Church, but in fact dishonor her with their views, words and deeds.

Here is a fresh example. Recently in "Facebook" I paid attention to the incorrect text of the troparion to all Ukrainian saints (mediocre translation of the Church Slavonic troparion to All the Saints glorified in the Russian land), as well as to the inadequate, historically groundless and liturgically meaningless date for the commemoration of All Ukrainian Saints on the Second week after the Pentecost.

And what did I hear in response? "Muscovite man, why are you plunging into our region with your religion?" And "It's time to pack suitcases and leave for Russia...”

It's just impudence and complete reluctance to think about anything, to find out anything, to check or correct ... But the priest's page is read by many clerics of the UOC-KP, and none of them was empathetic with what I said! What happens to the clergy of the UOC-KP? There are a lot of savages and ignoramuses who "compensate" these qualities with arrogance and insolence. I cannot and do not want to be a part of such a clergy," the representative of the UATOC wrote.

"Bishop" Job (in the world Vasily Dmitrievich Konovalyuk) was born in 1975 in Lutsk. After backsliding into the schism, he joined the UAOC. After a while he moved to the jurisdiction of the Kyiv Patriarchate. In 2001, "Hieromonk" Job (Konovalyuk) left the UOC-KP, accusing his "hierarchs" of confessing the heresies of "sergianism" and "ecumenism."
