Patriarch Sviatoslav of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church stated that the interdenominational conflicts at the national level are now part of history.

Patriarch Sviatoslav of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church stated that the interdenominational conflicts at the national level are now part of history. The hierarch made this statement during a press conference, reported a correspondent of Context-Prychornomoria information agency.

Patriarch Sviatoslav noted: “Our relations are rather constructive and productive. During the short period of my leadership in the church, we have managed to do many useful things for the Ukrainian society jointly with the UOC (Moscow Patriarchate). On the day of the Referendum, we jointly addressed the Ukrainian people. We also actively cooperate within the framework of the public organization All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, which marks its 15th anniversary this year.”

“We have learnt to work jointly for the good of Ukraine. One can say that the interdenominational conflicts at the national level are now part of history. Incidents when anyone seeks to make the churches quarrel are clear manifestations of anachronism. Our cooperation at the highest church level has extended to all the levels: Ukraine shows social demand for religious peace now,” stressed Patriarch Sviatoslav.
