Fake denying decisions of the ROC Synod reported by Ovruch eparchy

Metropolitan Vissarion of Ovruch and Korosten

The Ovruch eparchy denied the next fake, disseminated on Facebook purportedly on behalf of Metropolitan Vissarion. This is reported by the website of the Ovruch eparchy.

"Due the fact that in the social network (Facebook) someone has created a page called "Vissarion Stretovich" and published different provocative information, which I, Metropolitan Vissarion of Ovruch, has nothing to do with. I consider it my duty to inform once again: this fake page was created by some enemies of the Holy Christ Church," the appeal says.

On September 20 in the network there was published a decree on behalf of Metropolitan Vissarion, which condemns the decision of the Synod of the ROC of September 14, 2018. The message also proposes to stop the commemoration of Patriarch Kirill.

Earlier, in the social network on the fake page of Metropolitan Vissarion of Ovruch, they placed provocative information about autocephaly in Ukraine.
