Christian Orthodox Family

[Trenchcoat]

Trenchcoat if you find an Orthodox Christian in Ukraine it is likely they want to leave. Ukraine is attemtping to remove the Christian Orthodox church becauae of their strong connection with Russia, in favour of Western Catholicism and Protestant religion.
As you are not religious, all may seem the same to you, but there are a great deal of differences.

Good to see you are alive and well Shadow, so far.

That news about the Ukraine turning to Catholicism and Protestant religion is news to me, I would doubt it's authenticity. As far as I know there is now a Ukrainian Orthodox Christian Church that is separate to the Russian Christian Orthodox Church. Last I heard that remnants of the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine were still around here and there but they were under the suspicion of the Ukrainian government and relations were not well between the two

I don't usually follow religious stuff much as I'm not religious but your news is interesting nonetheless.

They are not going away from Orthodoz church, they just broke away their orthodox church from the Rossian one which is 100% controlled by Putin and where the priests advocate for murder

The Western edits are clear.
Breaking away is simply to hide like they did in Communist times. After the war is ove expect a reunion.
Perhaps the news about Othodox holidays being scrapped in favour of Catholic ones in the Dutch press was fake.
