The government of Ukraine has seized a historic 12th-century cathedral from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), through a court challenge.
The government has been harassing the UOC for years, pushing priests and worshipers to switch their allegiance to the Kiev-approved Orthodox Church of Ukraine. Members of the canonical church have been accused of being Russian collaborators.

I think the religious people that go every Sunday need to make this choice..not Kiev
z is a b
In before the excuses.
Here is another article on it.
UOC-MP ordered by court to return Assumption Cathedral in Kaniv to state
“In 2003, the executive committee of the Kaniv City Council granted permission to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (MP) to register ownership of the archaeological site. This was the basis for the registration of collective ownership, the PGO said.
Prosecutors proved in court that the transfer of the Assumption Cathedral building was illegal. According to the Prosecutor General’s Office, the law explicitly prohibits the alienation of state-owned cultural heritage sites.
The court declared illegal and canceled the decision of the executive committee of the Kaniv City Council, the certificate of ownership of the building for the UOC (MP), and canceled the state registration of property rights to the cultural heritage site of national importance”

And within 10 years, I guarantee you this "Kiev-approved Orthodox Church of Ukraine" will look like the Episcopal Church - full of woke, multi-culti, lesbian-pastor nonsense.
Perfectly in line with the Davos, globohomo push throughout the West.
GIBS-ME-MO’-BILLIONS. GIBS-ME-DAT-CHURCH-PROPERTY.
Z is also a Dictator
Okay....Z is a B and a D....and I’ll add...P
That will work. 🙂
KeeeeeEEEEEeee is “fighting for democracy.”
More proof that the Zelensky regime is one of the most oppressive in the world.
Hmmm.. interesting.... no one is talking about this on this thread... :
Russia bans religious freedom in Ukraine
In occupied territories, only the Russian Orthodox Church is allowed, all others are oppressed

Z-Putin is clearly a dictator, I agree with you all.
Whataboutism.
Unlike Ukraine, Russia is not defending American values.
Didn't Ukraine do the same thing, only in reverse? Seems to me that I remember seeing that mentioned a while back.
Ukraine to prepare law banning churches 'affiliated' with Russia
Ukraine is not defending anything, especially American values.
Why would Russia even want to support American values when the American values are being eviscerated by enemies from within?
Your statement is nothing more than utter ignorance.
“Ukraine expropriates country’s oldest church over Russia ties”
Expected. Now that Ukraine is aligned with the Neocons they have to go PURE ATHEIST with their ‘churches’ simply being government-controlled institutions.
Both of the countries involved in the conflict have a religion preferred by the state which they advance at the expense of others.
Is anybody shocked by this?
