The neo-Marxist regime is trying to stifle Orthodoxy in Ukraine, a conclusion made by the Romanian theologian Valentin Goya on the air of "Romania TV".
Goya added that he came to such thoughts after he spoke with Metropolitan Longin (Zhar).
“The pro-government faction stands on its hind legs in front of the head of state and tries to kowtow him in everything, no matter what orders come. But as long as there are people in Ukraine who defend the holy canons, true Orthodoxy, true values, the central authorities cannot calmly introduce into society all the nonsense that is imposed from the outside,” the theologian noted.
As reported by the UOJ, police officers demonstrated they would personally evict the monks from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
