The era of lies, robbery and business lifts

On 16 February, in Chernivtsi, there was an "under-the-fence gathering" (outside the fence of the UOC cathedral) of unknown individuals with flags, who, amidst cries of "Death to the enemies!", voted to transfer three of the largest UOC churches in the city to the OCU. This, despite the fact that inside the cathedral, thousands of parishioners were voting for faithfulness to the UOC.
Similar gatherings with the same outcome (loyalty to their Church) were held by other "transferred" UOC communities.
In other words, you can vote as much as you like about your church. It doesn’t matter. Others have already made the decision for you.
And now, on 26 February, unknown individuals re-registered all three churches in the Unified State Register under the name of citizen Yaroslav Bodoriak. These unknown individuals were in such a hurry that they wrote not "парафія" (parish), but "арафія" (“arish”). The registry states that the OCU communities (which emerged in 2018) were supposedly registered in 1991.
Yaroslav Bodoriak is the Chernivtsi "bishop" of the OCU, Feognost. He knows perfectly well that the churches "belonging" to him are not really his, as parishioners of the UOC pray there around the clock. He is just waiting for the right moment to seize them. How Bodoriak can serve and pray to God in this way – only he knows.
However, like the church, like its bishops.
