Petition to Ban Ukrainian Church Gains Enough Votes to Be Considered by President [Zelensky]
Pravoslavie ^ | 11/29/22

A petition calling for President Zelensky to support a new bill that would completely ban the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church will be taken under consideration by the head of state.

Any petition registered on the official site of the President of Ukraine that receives at least 25,000 votes must then be officially considered by the President. As of 1:30 PM, November 29, the petition, authored by Deputy Oleksiy Goncharenko of the European Solidarity Party, has received 25,879 votes.

The petition calls for the President to support draft law 8221, “which provides for a ban on the activities of institution subordinate to the aggressor country.”

Although the Ukrainian Orthodox Church removed all connection with the Russian Orthodox Church from its statutes at its Council in late May, the schismatics and nationalists and many politicians continue to characterize the Church as just the Russian Church in Ukraine, which must be eliminated.

“This will help return such iconic objects as the Kiev Caves, Holy Dormition-Pochaev, and Svyatogorsk Lavras to state ownership,” Goncharenko writes.

Bill 8221 was registered in the Verkhovna Rada on November 22. Ukrainian politicians have been trying for years now to ban the Orthodox Church, but their efforts have increased since the war began in February. Local authorities in various places throughout the country have declared their own illegal bans on the Church.

According to the bill, only structures that are part of the schismatic OCU would be able to call themselves “Orthodox.”

Just dumb. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church broke ties with the ROC months ago.

I think it is unlikely that the monks and priests in their churches are useful spies. It is just simply more sectarian and Galician hate.
At most, they can look out the window and see if the lights are on or something. They act like there are shortwave radios in the basement. Hell, SBU raided the Church of caves in Kiev.

Retards. It actually speaks of their impotence. It’s lashing out at a defenseless target because the actual targets are more dangerous.

I never appreciated how evil the Iraq war was until I learned what happened to the Christians. Suddenly the whole NWO scam became much easier to see.

All of the people posting their cheerleading on FR for this scoundrel Zelensky and his thoroughly corrupt government of Ukraine should be ashamed of themselves.

Zelensky is not the George Washington of Ukraine. He is the Al Capone of Ukraine. He is a ruthless totalitarian making a fortune by bilking billions from the USA and other countries, as well as stealing his own people blind.

He is a world-class criminal.

Yet, we have neocons here that keep insisting our involvement in Ukraine is about protecting freedom and democracy.

The truth is that everything we accuse Russia of is actually true of Ukraine. It's corrupt, tyrannical hellhole and the only reason we're involved is because our political elite and their financial backers have made and continue to make oodles of cash there.

Talk about your dumb news hype. 25,000 petition signers out of a population of 40 million. About 0.1% of the electorate.

It had the desired effect. Just look at the comments. The law requires that if something gets this many signatures it must be considered - yet look at the comments. Ignorance on parade.

And the same people claiming to be for religious liberty on this thread cheerlead for a regime that outlawed evangelism. That’s the level of craziness we are dealing with.

There’s nothing about what Zelensky will do with regard to this petition he has no choice but to consider in this article.

Meanwhile, Putin/Russia actually did outlaw evangelism in Russia years ago.

You are the perfect Deep State tool. You probably don't even demand a pay check. When they are done with you, they will spit your chewed remains to the ground then walk it dry.

OAN Newsroom
UPDATED 3:35 PM PT – Friday, December 2, 2022

The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has outlawed the operation of Russian-influenced religious organizations following reports claiming that the Ukrainian Orthodox Church shares Russian sentiment.

—> Meanwhile, Putin/Russia actually did outlaw evangelism in Russia years ago.

Expected in Russia.

But the article isn’t about Russia. It is about that shining beacon of freedom we’re pumping $ into called Ukraine.

That is the real reason he is banning it. The WEF and the satanic NWO hates Christians
