UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT BANS UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH-MOSCOW PATRIARCHATE (UOC-MP)
The following report appeared earlier today at the Kyiv Post. We at Orthodoxy in Dialogue have long known that the vaunted separation of the UOC-MP under Metropolitan Onufry from the Moscow Patriarchate following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was little more than a mendacious publicity stunt, belied by the fact that the Patriarchate never took canonical action against its Ukrainian branch or the person of its primate.

Ukrainian Lawmakers Vote to Ban Moscow-Linked Orthodox Church
The measure banning a church considered in Ukraine to be aligned with Putin’s “Russian world” ideology needs to be signed into law by President Volodymyr Zelensky to take effect.
Ukraine’s parliament on Tuesday [August 20, 2024] voted to ban the Russia-linked Ukrainian Orthodox Church, as Kyiv cuts religious, social and institutional ties with bodies it considers aligned with Moscow.
Kyiv has been trying to curb spiritual links with Russia for years – a process that was hugely accelerated by Moscow’s 2022 invasion, which the powerful Russian Orthodox Church sanctified.
