People's Deputy Ihor Guz made another threat regarding monasteries of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Volyn. This time his words were spoken directly from the ambo after the "liturgy" led by Epifaniy Dumenko at the Dormition Cathedral of Volodymyr, a shrine seized from UOC believers.
In particular, Huz mentioned the Zymne and Nyzkynychi monasteries.
Huz publicly addressed the abbess of the Zymne Convent, urging her "not to wait" and "show consciousness."
"Take a step towards the Orthodox Church of Ukraine voluntarily, and not when the state will be forced to act," the MP demanded.
As the UOJ reported, after the first "service" of the OCU at the Dormition Cathedral of Volodymyr seized from the UOC, MP Ihor Huz made a political statement, declaring that katsaps would no longer be there.
