Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church Canonical states, that the sentence
imposed on September 8, 2011 by the board of judges of the Kyiv Court of Appeals
(head judge Shakhova) on the demolition of the Cathedral of the
UAOC-C and the convent monastery for the clergy is unprecedented for modern Ukraine and
intolerable for a civilized European country.
Patriarchate notes that the sentence on the demolition of church buildings of the UAOC-C was
imposed with the tacit consent of the highest state officials and with the support of
authorities. This decision is based on fruitless multiple
requests for protection of civil and religious rights to the guarantor of the Constitution,
President of Ukraine V. F. Yanukovych and the Prime Minister of Ukraine M. Ya. Azarov.
Patriarchate claims that the fact that the sentence on the demolition of the church buildings of the
UAOC-C confirms that the process of systematic repressive annihilation of the Ukrainian Autocephalous
Orthodox Church Canonical and Patriarch Moses continues. Forces, which finances the process, try to destroy the Church, which has a canonical origin of the Polish Orthodox Church, which
got the Tomos of recognition of
autocephality from the Ecumenical Patriarchate
in 1924. September 2011, four Patriarchs of the oldest
Orthodox churches of the world, including the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew,
reminded to all orthodox world about that document by their statement in
Constantinople.
Patriarchate of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church Canonical
hopes that the Christian world and the international community will not stay
aside and will be consistent in their statements and interfere in the process unprecedented for the modern world, the process of extermination of the canonical orthodox Church
and vandal destruction of the God`s temple.
