Host of show "Down with Moscow Patriarchate" urges UGCC to change calendar
The author of the programme "Down with Moscow Patriarchate" Ostap Drozdov
The author of the show called the head of the UGCC Sviatoslav Shevchuk a "coward", because he "is afraid" to say that we must move away from the "Russian-World calendar." He wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"Religious schizophrenia in Ukraine is something that upsets me greatly. I have no hope for Orthodox churches, because Orthodoxy is a diagnosis. But the UGCC still needs to be appealed. Blessed Sviatoslav, why are you a coward? Why are you, the head of the Vatican Church in Ukraine, afraid to say out loud that we need to move away as soon as possible from the Russian-world calendar?" writes the journalist.
He wonders why Shevchuk holds back on "the holy rank ‘away from Moscow’": "Well, we cannot always be like non-humans and go against the whole world," he says in conclusion and expresses the hope that Ukraine will "refocus".
Earlier, the Verkhovna Rada passed the law, officially declaring December 25 a day off in connection with the celebration of Christmas by Catholics.
