Former African Exarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Leonid called the upcoming hearing on his case in the Supreme All-Church Court "a betrayal of the Church and the Fatherland” and said that “all those who participate in this lawlessness are traitors". He wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
According to him, with the upcoming trial, "we have passed the line of realisation of good and evil".
"Now everything is possible if you have uncontrolled power in your hands," the retired bishop said, without specifying whom he meant.
The hierarch is convinced that his work in the African Exarchate was "the first breakthrough since 988," and Gorbachev appreciates its results very highly.
The hierarch also noted that his trial benefits the Vatican and is "giving up one's own people", and that all those involved in it are "traitors".
The metropolitan threatened to "provide details afterwards," adding that he "did not want this".
As reported, the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church "retired" Metropolitan Leonid (Gorbachev).
