That is not what the article says. They had already shut down Russian Churches and what the heck right do they have shutting down churches? This is so obvious.
We were attacked on 9/11 by Muslims. Did we shut down all mosques?
You people have went along with taking away freedom to support a wretched corrupt country that has embraced Homos . That is what Ukraine churches are now.
Why are you so upset about some churches changing their affiliation from one Orthodox group to another, but you apparently don’t have any problem with Russia’s destruction of hundreds of churches in Ukraine, and ongoing repression of Protestant religious groups.
Bttt
