Primate of the Czech Church: Power has no right to legalize schism

His Beatitude Metropolitan Rostislav of the Czech Lands and Slovakia

His Beatitude Metropolitan Rostislav of the Czech Lands and Slovakia condemned the heavy-handed intervention of state power in the internal life of the Church, reports the Department for External Church Relations of the Russian Orthodox Church.

The Primate of the Czech Lands and Slovakia calls upon the Primates of all the Local Churches to condemn attempts to legalize the schism in Ukraine.

“World Orthodoxy recognizes the only canonical Primate of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onufry of Kiev and All Ukraine. This fact, on behalf of all those present, has been repeatedly mentioned and confirmed by the Most Holy Primate of the Great Christian Church of Constantinople, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, at the Synaxis of the Primates of the Local Orthodox Churches, which took place in Chambesy (Switzerland) from January 21 to 27, 2016,” reminds His Beatitude Rostislav.

On October 11, 2018, the Synod of Constantinople Patriarchate announced the granting of canonical status to schismatic church organizations of the UOC KP and the UAOC.
