“The law, if passed, will also allow the Ukrainian government the ability to confiscate all church property and outlaw both public and private practice of the religion.”
A ‘Progressive’ dream come true. Times ‘Man of the Year’? Now you know why. Where’s George W Bush on his Winston Churchill buddy?

“Misleading headline. There are two major Orthodox denominations in Ukraine.

Ok, so he’s just banning Russian language services. Sounds good to me. So just ethnic cleansing, sounds like a plan!

In that part of the world, that’s the same as outlawing Christianity.

No, he isn’t “banning Russian language services”. He’s moving against a church that is owned and controlled by the government of the nation invading his.

Thank you. I think the headline is deliberately misleading and inflammatory.

The Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine also got caught spying and providing FSB and GRU with military targeting information.

The most important take in the article: Zelensky, who is not a Christian, nor has he ever claimed to be, is willing to use his military to raid and persecute Christians to the same extent as his communist predecessors.

It's disgraceful anyone here or any Christian or conservative would support this tyrant and his "liberal world order" puppet masters pulling his strings.

I call them like I see them. If someone espouses totalitarian idieology then they are a totalitarian. Freedom of religion has s a human right.

OFGS! Quit with the hyperbole. He is not outlawing Orthodox Christianity, he is closing down ONE of its many branches; specifically, the RUSSIAN Orthodox Church, which is basically an arm of the Russian government. Ukraine is at war with Russia, after all.

the issue is not about “freedom of religion”, Ukrainians can believe what they wish, the operations of religious institutions is a different manner, and the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine - the institution - has proven to be a divisive stooge of Putin, and worse

Orthodox Christians in Ukraine still have Orthodox Churches they can take their faith practice to, and they know it even if you don’t.
