UOC-KP head: I can’t keep up with admission applications to Kyiv Patriarchate
Nikodym Kobzar said that many foreigners are turning to the UOC-KP with requests to accept them into the Kyiv Patriarchate.
“Patriarch” of the UOC-KP Nikodym Kobzar during his enthronement in Sumy said that numerous clergy from abroad are appealing to him with requests for inclusion in the structure of the Kyiv Patriarchate.
“I will now say something you will see in the near future. We, His Eminence Bishop Yevhen and I, are no longer able to process the documents we have received for admission specifically to the Kyiv Patriarchate. These are not only Ukrainians. There are many people, many priests and bishops who are seeking an unblemished Church – a Church about which it is not yet said that it is ‘not like the others,’ that it is doing something wrong,” said Nikodym.
He also recounted that his “patriarchate” was allegedly predicted by his spiritual father, Archimandrite Theodore (Andryushchenko), a monk of the Holy Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Nikodym opened a vicariate of the UOC-KP in Cyprus.
