The canonical and legal documents do not contain the name of the ROCVU, - speaker of the UOC

The law on renaming the UOC hinders the full-fledged activity of religious organizations of the largest confession of Ukraine — the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This was stated at a briefing on the occasion of a round table on the topic «Three years of attempts to forcibly rename the Ukrainian Orthodox Church: consequences, assessments, comments» by the Deputy Head of the Department for External Church Relations of the UOC Archpriest Nikolai Danilevich, writes Thomas in Ukraine.

“He (Law No. 2662-VIII, — ed.) Is manipulative, propagandistic. The name that our Church is called today — the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine — is an absolutely invented construct, since there is no such phrase in any of the canonical and legal documents of either Ukraine or Russia, ”said the UOC speaker.
