Pope Francis condemned the ban on the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

According to RCO News Agency, Pope Francis, the leader of the world Catholics, said in his weekly speech a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed such a bill: “Don’t touch the churches!”

France 24 quoted the world Catholic leader as saying: “Regarding the law recently passed in Ukraine, I am concerned about the freedom of people who worship.”

“Ukraine’s parliament has approved a bill that would ban the legally legitimate Ukrainian Orthodox Church,” Rasha Today reported last week, citing a member of the Ukrainian parliament.

“Maria Zakharova,” the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said in response to this News: “Orthodoxy is being destroyed in Ukraine. This is destruction. “The goal is to destroy the true orthodoxy and replace it with a false church and create a pseudo-orthodox church.”
