The hierarch of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church Petro Kryk incites hatred towards the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, urging readers of his Facebook page to support unknown ATO soldiers and ban the UOC in Ukraine.
The bishop of the UGCC published on his page a post inciting religious hatred: “The ATO soldiers are demanding that the UOC-MP should be banned in Ukraine. Shall we support it?”
The post was commented on by the Orthodox blogger Alexander Voznesensky.
According to him, the Greek Catholic’s post indicates that the head of the Uniates, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, regularly deceives, arguing that the UGCC wants to live with everyone in peace since clerics and even bishops of this organization incite sectarian strife.
“In fact, this bishop, who had previously demanded with the same hatred that Zelensky’s supporters should leave his Facebook friends, showed the essence and gut of the UGCC – it is a fierce hatred to all who disagree with the Uniates both in political and religious space,” says the blogger.
As reported earlier, the leader of the Greek Catholics, Sviatoslav Shevchuk, claims that the blood shed on the Maidan has become "the standard by which we measure our social and even church life today".
