ROC representative appeals to Pope over alleged persecution of UOC MP in Ukraine
This was reported by Glavkom, citing the propagandistic agency TASS.
During the conversation, topics such as Orthodox-Catholic dialogue and ongoing conflicts in the world, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, were discussed.
Metropolitan Anthony accused the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church's episcopate of spreading anti-Russian statements and criticized the Vatican for not responding to these claims.
He refuted accusations that the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine acts as an “agent of Russian influence,” labeling them as “groundless.”
Earlier, Reuters reported that the meeting with Russian Metropolitan Anthony signified an effort to improve relations between the Vatican and the Russian Orthodox Church.
