Law enforcement agencies will be involved in checking priests who want to transfer to the OCU. This was stated in an interview with Telegraph by the "hierarch" of the OCU Oleksandr (Drabinko).
At the correspondent's request to comment on Dumenko's words about the "check" of the priests of the UOC before their admission into his structure, Drabinko replied that law enforcement officers would carry out such work for the OCU.
“Of course, it will not be the church that will check, but the relevant bodies that already have the results of such checks or are still conducting them,” Drabinko said.
When asked whether Metropolitan Pavel, the Lavra’s abbot, would pass such a test, Drabinko replied that he is “a very specific person.”
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Dumenko would admit bishops and priests of the UOC to the OCU “through repentance”.
