The host of the TV channel "Zik" Ostap Drozdov states that all those living according to the Julian calendar are "non-humans".
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.
