Lavra will be transferred to the office of the self-proclaimed “Kiev Patriarchate”.
About the upcoming procedure stated in the press service of the city Council.
The people’s petition demanding the capture typed on the website of the Kyiv city Council 10 354 thousand signatures for the minimum required for consideration 10 thousand
In this regard, the press service of while still being in the jurisdiction of the MP of the monastery addressed.
“Holy Dormition Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra has always been and remains the main Shrine of our people, uniting Orthodox believers not only in Ukraine, but also the entire Orthodox world, – stated on the website of the monastery. – From a legal point of view is the monastery belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, in which were offered up and prayers the world around the world, about our God-protected country, her authorities and the army. Repeatedly and representatives of other local Orthodox Churches expressed their support of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, independent in its management, as the only canonical Orthodox structure in Ukraine”.
The monks are reminded that whatever the States did not belong to the territory of Ukraine, the Pechersk monastery always remained in the bosom of Orthodoxy, as bequeathed one of the founders of the monastery of St. Theodosius: “Located in a different faith, or in Latin, or Armenian, not to see life eternal.” “And not after acceptance of Union with Roman Catholic Church in 1596, in the reign of the godless power of the twentieth century, the Lavra has not changed its affiliation to the Orthodox Church”, – emphasized in circulation.
According to its authors “the initiative of some political forces collecting signatures of residents of the city of Kiev on the transfer of the Lavra to the jurisdiction unrecognized by the Orthodox world, the so-called “Kiev Patriarchate” are nothing more than a provocation in order to undermine Ukraine’s already fragile religious peace, and thereby distracting the public from really important problems”.
The document contains the words of the late Metropolitan Vladimir, who after his election as Primate of the UOC MP in 1992 did not go to conflict with Filaret, seized by the gunmen korchinskiy’s Cathedral, Vladimirsky Cathedral, and called for prayer to stop this religious confrontation: “the Request I have to you is this – to pray for peace in Ukraine… that the Lord will help us to be brothers before God and the world…”.
As for the current accusations of the Primate of the UOC-MP and the Abbot of the Lavra, Metropolitan Onufry and his Deputy, Metropolitan Paul, in the letter says: “the Abbot and brethren of the Lavra, which is swedenborgianism Metropolitan of Kiev and all Ukraine, the name of which currently unites all of Ukraine within the boundaries of 2014 (because his name was exalted and lifted up in prayer at the divine services in all churches of the Crimea and the Donbas), urges all citizens of our country to the world and joint fervent prayer for our Fatherland, so all of us in the world of soul and spirit could come to was commanded by Christ to unity.”
The attacks on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate in Ukraine have a history which is almost identical with the history of independence of this country. However, the special glow they have begun to take since the “orange” Maidan and further legalization of the Ukrainian nationalists. The peak of frenzy marked the “revolution of dignity”. The MP churches are subjected to capture, prakticheksi raiding and ruthlessly Gromada. If not Gromada, we are subjected to the blasphemous nakagane. The priests of the UOC-MP derided and persecuted. There are cases of targeted killings.
Going to war against the Donbass, the Kiev regime “brotherly people” is no less deliberately attacked and destroyed the Orthodox churches in this region, practically not hiding the fact that the destruction of Orthodoxy, especially relating to the Moscow Patriarchate – one of the most important tasks of Ukraine Bandera.
It is worth noting that any protests on this notorious civilized world to Express not considered necessary. Riots and raiding temples in the Ukraine actually occur with his tacit approval.
