The head of the Apostolic Exarchy for Ukrainian Catholics of the Byzantine rite in Germany and Scandinavia (structure of the UGCC – Ed.), Bishop Petro Kryk, called on his Facebook page "to show bastards how many Banderites there are."
The Greek Catholic hierarch shared a picture from the blog "Shablia Heroyiv" (“cavalry sword” – Trans.), the inscription on which urges the "Banderites" to arrange a "roll call and put a ‘plus’” in the comments under the publication: "let the bastards see how many of us there are."
The Apostolic Exarchate for Ukrainian Catholics of the Byzantine rite in Germany was established on April 17, 1959 by a decree of Pope John XXIII. In 2000, Petro Kryk was appointed head of the Exarchate by Pope John Paul II.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that the hierarch of the UGCC Petro Kryk incites hatred towards the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, urging the readers of his Facebook page to support the unknown ATO soldiers and ban the UOC in Ukraine.
