“Hierarch” of OCU: Fighting Moscow traditions in our churches
The head of the Poltava diocese of the OCU was outraged by the temples in honor of Alexander Nevsky and the icon of the Virgin Mary.
The OCU “metropolitan” of Poltava and Kremenchug Fedir Bubniuk told the Livyi Bereh publication that there are more UOC communities in Poltava region than those belonging to his church structure. He also expressed dissatisfaction over the spread of the “Moscow tradition” in Ukrainian churches.
“However, the Moscow tradition is deeply entrenched. For example, there is the Kazan icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary in every temple, in every house, everywhere. There are many parishes of Alexander Nevsky, even we have several temples. I did not even know at first that I should preach in the Ukrainian parish in honor of Alexander Nevsky,” said Bubniuk.
As reported by the UOJ, the OCU called Matrona and Xenia of St. Petersburg “psychotic Russians”.
