Metropolitan Epifaniy congratulated the Catholics of the Eastern and Latin rites on the election of the new Head of the Roman Catholic Church, Leo XIV.
The Primate of the OCU wrote about this on his Facebook page.
"He was elected as the new Latin Bishop of Rome, the Head of the Vatican City-State, and the Holy See on May 8, 2025, during a conclave held in the Sistine Chapel.
I wish the newly elected pontiff a successful ministry that benefits all Christians in the name of the Gospel and contributes to the promotion of peace and goodness throughout the world!"
