The call of "bishop" Adrian Kulik to label citizens "like homeless dogs" who, in his opinion, do not like Ukraine, is intended for people with a sense of humour, the OCU "hierarch" said on his Facebook page.

The "bishop" of the OCU complained that he was very sad to watch people without a sense of humour. “Hypocrites and bigots suffer especially from this,” he wrote, responding to the indignation caused by the call of the “hierarch” of the OCU to chipping “wrong” Ukrainians.

Kulik did not take back his statements, continuing to call the Ukrainians who consider themselves to be the UOC as enemies.

He called on everyone who, in his opinion, does not like Ukraine, to “pack things and leave the country”. And there are many such people in Ukraine, the "bishop" of the OCU believes. They "disguise themselves as decent citizens" and can even speak Ukrainian, he noted mournfully.

The "bishop" was also supported by another scandalous representative of the OCU, "archpriest" Alexander Dediukhin, who wrote under Kulik's post on FB: "When we come to power, we will do so. We’ll chip all enemies."

As reported, Adrian Kulik said that Orthodoxy is a sect, and the OCU needs to strive for Christianity.
