The statements about the possible “seizure of temples” after the provision of Tomos on autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church are an example of disinformation, says head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate, Patriarch Filaret.
“According to the Ukrainian laws, all temples and property belong to the communities – on the basis of ownership or rights of use or rent. (I say) communities, meaning parishes, monasteries, religious educational institutions,” the Patriarch said, according to a commentary by the UOC-KP press service, Deutsche Welle reports.
