One of the OCU spokesmen, Roman Hryshchuk, who organized numerous seizures of UOC churches, sharply criticized Pope Leo for his remarks about the war in Ukraine. The OCU “priest” was particularly outraged by the pontiff’s statement that senseless killings are being committed on both sides in Ukraine.

“We already thought that after Francis they would choose someone Christian! But he just kept silent, and that’s why he looked smart!” Hryshchuk declared, sarcastically adding: “This pope is broken too, bring in the next one!”

According to him, “even the blind Trump has already seen who the aggressor is, but the pope still hasn’t!”

“We are blind! We are for peace! We are for everything good and against everything bad! We are for the victory of our side, because they are the good ones! And who is our side? Well, whoever wins – that’s our side! And then you wonder why people are leaving the Church? Because they already have enough lies and hypocrisy in this world!” Hryshchuk wrote.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that, according to the pontiff, senseless killings are taking place on both sides in Ukraine, and the Vatican maintains neutrality on the war.
