On March 21, 2021, on the Feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, the cleric of the Greek Orthodox Church, Protopresbyter Matthew Vulcanescu, anathematized the head of the OCU Epiphany Dumenko and everyone who is in communion with him, reports Myrophoros.blogspot.com.

During the celebration of the Rite of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, the priest Matthew Vulcanescu, like last year, anathematized the "Tomos of Autocephaly", as well as the "new schismatic and heretical pseudo-church of Ukraine, headed by the schismatic, heretic, and false Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Ukraine, Epiphany Dumenko, and everyone who is in communication with him."

In addition, he anathematized "the heretical theology of the ‘first without equal’ (primus sine paribus), expressed in the anticanonical ‘Tomos of Autocephaly’, which was granted by the Patriarchate of Constantinople to the schismatic Ukrainian group Epiphany Dumenko and his false bishopric."

Protopresbyter Matthew Vulcanescu also anathematized "the heresy of papal primacy and any form of papism introduced into the Orthodox conciliar order, which dates back to the time when the apostles gathered fraternally in Jerusalem at the Council and which is promoted today by the Patriarchate of Constantinople."
