KP priest calls upon psychics for the attack on the UOC

On 27 November, STB channel broadcast the next part of the TV show "Battle of psychics," in which "the magicians and sorcerers" found out who "put a curse" on the Church of the Kiev Patriarchate in the village Olshanka of the Cherkassy region, where KP parishioners allegedly started dying more frequently than usual.

Under the version of the TV team, Olshanka residents are so much worried about unexpected and sudden deaths of parishioners (in the program a camera fixed for a few minutes the tombstone of a village resident born in 1926). In particular, three choirmen, one after another, died in the parish. And the KP priest Alexander Barey agreed to psychics holding their show in the church of the Kiev Patriarchate.

The psychics in turn voiced variants according to which either a brother of Fr. Alexander (UOC priest), or a local priest (UOC priest) "put a curse on the church."

"This is an obvious order, – commented to the UOJ on what had happened in the Cherkassy diocese. – The program, though not mentioning the Church, was constantly attacking the UOC priests. The fact is that there is also our parish in Olshanka, and Alexander Barey’s father and brother are priests of the UOC. As for the sudden deaths, the authors of the program "forgot" to say that the women’s trouble started when they freely fell into schism. Before that, they had been singing in the UOC church. And the worst thing is that the KP, as it turns out, does not recognize the sacraments of the Church, if they are ready to put psychics next to them."
