In a rural restroom on the grounds of the Holy Trinity Church in Krehaiv, transferred from the UOC to the OCU, representatives of the OCU are reportedly using UOC liturgical instructions, containing service texts and prayers, as toilet paper.
A video documenting this was published on Facebook by UOC Priest Georgiy Izai, who built the church and served as its rector.
The footage shows a wooden restroom where a copy of the UOC Liturgical Instructions hangs on the wall, with most of its pages torn out. Torn fragments of liturgical texts in Church Slavonic can also be seen on the floor near the waste hole, leaving no doubt that the texts are used as toilet paper.
"And these people claim to have anything sacred," the priest commented.
Previously, the UOJ reported that representatives of the OCU in Trebukhiv referred to the Bible as "trash" and threw it into the garbage.
