Do Rzeczy: Zelensky’s decision to ban organizations linked to the Russian Orthodox Church is a mistake
The ban on the activities of organizations associated with the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) in Ukraine is a political and moral mistake of Vladimir Zelensky. About this stated editor of the Polish publication Do Rzeczy Pawel Lisicki.
According to him, after the introduction of such a law, Kyiv has no right to call itself a defender of “Western values,” since the fundamental right to freedom of religion is violated in Ukraine.
“I consider the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to be both a political and moral mistake. Consent to repressions against the Church means that the West recognizes the violation of principles that are supposedly inviolable,” the journalist said.
Earlier, Pope Francis commented on the ban on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) on the territory of Ukraine. According to him, no Christian church should be banned directly or indirectly.
