What the heart thinks: Social media match words of Met Onuphry and Dumenko

A trainee of “Eastern Church” telegram channel decided to compare frequently used words of Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and All Ukraine, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus, Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople and leader of the OCU Epiphany Dumenko. The study also included speeches by the late Patriarch of Serbia, Pavel (Stoicevic).

According to the channel’s staff member, a person most often repeats what is most important to him, and therefore, having studied the so-called ‘word cloud’, one can understand what is on this or that speaker’s mind.

The trainee studied three programmatic interviews with a number of Primates of the Churches and “those who pass themselves off as primates”.

As a result, he found that only Epiphany Dumenko does not mention about God and Christ in his speeches.

The Patriarch of Constantinople constantly refers to his primacy among other Primates and in Ukraine.

In the speech of the First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, the words “Church”, “temple” and “family” most often appear.

The Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry, speaks about God and the Church most of all.

The late head of the Serbian Orthodox Church most often recalled about love and God in his speeches.

The study was commented on by Orthodox blogger Alexander Voznesensky.

“Everyone has already noticed that Epiphany never even mentions God. What for? After all, they have their idol – Poroshenko, who secured the Tomos for them. Therefore, there is always a word about the Tomos but never about God,” he emphasized on his Facebook page.

As reported by the UOJ, the head of the OCU Epiphany Dumenko complained that he is not considered the Metropolitan of Kiev in Montenegro.
