Russian media spread fake news about anathema imposed on OCU by the Greek Church

A schismatic clergyman, Angelos Angelakopoulos, who was a priest in the dioceses of Piraeus and Cytheras, said curses again. Consequently, he severed Eucharistic communion with his ruling Bishop and now speaks on his own behalf as a schismatic.

But the Russian media have already published articles with the headline: "During the week of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, curses were heard in the Church of Greece against the OCU and Epifaniy Dumenko," in which this schismatic is called a cleric of the Greek Church.

In a similar manner, this person cursed the Ecumenical Patriarch, Patriarch of Alexandria, Archbishop Jerome of Athens and all Greece and Archbishop Chrysostomos of Cyprus, who recognized the Autocephalous Church of Ukraine and are in communion with it.

This year, the Primate of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Metropolitan Epiphanius, was also one of the "targets" of the schismatic's curses.

"The so-called "Tomos of autocephaly", which the Ecumenical Patriarchate granted to the schismatic pseudo-Church of Ukraine, is anathema. The schismatic pseudo-Church of Ukraine, led by the schismatic and heretic, false Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Ukraine, Epifaniy Dumenko, and all those who have communion with them in the sacraments, are anathema," the schismatic said.
