On April 20, 2023, the clergy of the Georgian Orthodox Church came out in support of the UOC and stated that they hope for a church trial against Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople.
In an appeal published on the Spasi and Sokhrani YouTube channel, representatives of the Georgian Church spoke about their vision of the situation with the UOC.
Archpriest David Isakadze stated that "unfortunately, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew played a big role in the formation of the schismatic group of the false Metropolitan Epifaniy, which is currently persecuting ... (the UOC)."
According to Father David, the head of the Phanar "acted illegally interfering in the jurisdiction of another Church, which is a canonical violation and is subject to punishment."
“We hope that he (Bartholomew – Ed.) will be judged by the Church Council, and if this does not happen in this world, then he will not escape the Divine Judgment,” said the priest.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the priests of the Georgian Church came out in defense of the UOC.
