Head of UOC KP: I Don't Have Time to Process Applications for Admission to the Kyiv Patriarchate
Nikodim Kobzar said that many foreigners are turning to the UOC KP with requests to accept them into the Kyiv Patriarchate.
“Patriarch” of the UOC-KP Nicodim Kobzar during his enthronement in Sumy declared that numerous clergy from abroad are appealing to him with requests for inclusion in the structure of the Kyiv Patriarchate.
“Now I will say what you will see in the near future. We – here is Bishop Eugene – can no longer keep up with processing the documents that have been submitted to us for acceptance specifically into the Kyiv Patriarchate. These are not only Ukrainians. These are many people, many priests and bishops who are seeking in the world an unblemished church – a church about which they do not yet say that it is ‘not right,’ that it does something wrong,” Nicodim declared.
He also recounted that his “patriarchate” was allegedly predicted by his spiritual father, Archimandrite Theodore (Andryushchenko), a monk of the Holy Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Nicodim opened a vicariate of the UOC-KP in Cyprus.
