On January 27, 2020, Metropolitan Amphilochios (Radović) of Montenegro and the Littoral in his sermon on the feast day of St. Sava of Serbia at Savina Glavica nunnery in Nizhny Grbala stated that the Church of Christ is invincible, reports Svetigora.
Metropolitan Amphilochios compared the religious situation in Montenegro with that prevailing in Ukraine and recalled that "the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, like our Church, suffered for centuries, but managed to retain its faith and allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ."
His Grace also noted that "in our time, many churches have been taken away from the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church."
He stressed that in those places of Ukraine where the temples were taken away there is a civil confrontation on religious grounds. But, according to him, "the Church of God is invincible, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it either in Kiev or here, in Montenegro."
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Metropolitan Amphilochios (Radović) of Montenegro and the Littoral of the Serbian Orthodox Church warned that those fighting the Church would be anathematized.
