Ukrainian autocephaly. After one year
All this past year the CEMES foundation worked on a scholarly project, which examined the Ukrainian crisis from a theological, historical and canonical perspective, always in relation to the triptych: Primacy-Conciliarity-Autocephaly.

Interference impossible to ignore, or what should the state do with religious policy?
All states of the world have in place a policy regarding religion and associations that citizens set up based on this religion's ground. The atheistic government of China and theocratic government of Iran, the mighty United States and tiny Andorra – just every one of them.

Appeasement of the aggressor fuels his appetite, - Patriarch of the UGCC Sviatoslav
Peace must be just and real, not an imitation. Patriarch Sviatoslav, the Head of the UGCC, has told about it in his interview to Tsenzor.net, the Ukrainian media. The opinion of First Hierarch is particularly relevant today, when, despite the fact that a ceasefire was declared on July 21, the enemy in the East attacks Ukrainian positions again, using prohibited weapons, Ukrainian soldiers die again.
In a video message (after several meetings of Zelenskyi with religious leaders, the video message appeared- editor's note), I have tried to explain how we understand the concept of peace. Peace cannot mean surrender and acceptance of any aggressor's terms. Then it is an imitation of peace, and the consequences will be even worse than war. For peace to be real, it must be just. Otherwise, it is a simple change in the way our people are hurt. History shows us that appeasement of the aggressor fuels his appetites even more. It is very important to talk about the pain that our people have and that even when we negotiate with the aggressor, we will remember the eyes of the mother who has lost her son in the war. We must be the voice of the people who have suffered. As long as there is no honour and amends made for the wrong done to them, what kind of justice can there be? Therefore, responding to the request of Mr Zelenskyi, I tried to speak on behalf of those people who are hurt by this war, and to explain what the real peace should be like," - said the head of the UGCC.

І до числа цих "Божих дітей" - як чітко і ясно каже й наголошує Святе Письмо - адепти адепти огидно-гріховних сексзбочень ніяк не входять. І цим своїм - всуціль нечестивим і беззаконним

Усіх, хто зневажає інших, бажає людям зла, кривди, хай люблячий Бог врозумить і нейтралізує негатив отаких "християн"! Бо вони не є послідовниками Христа, але фарисеїв та інквізиторів.

Неодмінно має бути повернута в КК України стаття, яка передбачає відповідальність за сексзбочення: причому, не лише гей-стосунки, а також і за лесбійство. Крім того, пропаганда гомосексуалізму також

Якщо церковники так напоказ несамовито по-фарисейськи кричать, що дбають про сім"ю, то вони мають усі церковні повноваження та вплив на вірян, щоб з дитинства виховувати у вірян сімейні

Знову церковники ніяк не заспокояться щодо гендерних питань. Це взагалі не їхня парафія, а свідомий вибір молоді. Уже зі шкільного особливо підліткового віку учні мають право отримувати базову
