Based on my contacts, Bishop Yurchyk is back in the Ukraine and suffering GREATLY for his stand. He has rented a building to be used as a Catholic Church and at this time has four of his seventy priests standing with him.
Judging from a recently unrelated post, there are now four different Orthodox groups operating in the Ukraine. Two are KGB: the group linked to the Russian patriarchate and also the "official" Ukarianian patriarchate. When one bishop died a few years back, a melee' took place at his funeral over the burial location.
Formerlib,
Care to ask the Orthodox Caucus to weigh in on this? I'd like to know the Truth of this matter.
At this point in time, the only mention (on the internet) of the Bishop leaving the Orthodox faith comes from the website referenced in the original article.
Until something more concrete can be produced, we must put this down as wishful thinking at best on the part of the authors.
At worst, it is slander intended to drive a wedge between the Bishop and his flock!
