Archimandrite Romanos Anastasiadis, cleric of the Metropolitanate of Rethymno and Avlopotamos, declared that the Church of Constantinople curses His Beatitude Onuphry and all those who consider him the legitimate Metropolitan of Kyiv contrary to the instructions of Phanar. Anastasiadis wrote about this on his Facebook page.
Having published a screenshot of the publication of the Greek resource Romfea about the celebration of the Namesake Day of His Beatitude Onuphry in Kyiv with the "fake" stamp, the cleric of Phanar writes:
“The curse of the Mother of the Holy Great Church of Christ not only on him, an unrepentant, uncanonical, miserable and unfortunate traitor to his people, an illegal passenger of the church ship of Ukraine, but also on all those who continue to reproduce the title ‘Kyiv’ (Metropolitan – Ed.), usurped (by His Beatitude Onuphry – Ed.) despite the clear prohibition of the Church."
Let us remind you that His Beatitude Onuphry received congratulations from various Local Churches, including the primates of the Georgian, Serbian, Russian, Polish Churches, the Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia, the hierarchs of the Antioch and Jerusalem Patriarchates, etc. In each document, the Primate of the UOC is named Metropolitan of Kyiv.
