Supporters of the MP live in a world of fictional prophecies and magical "theology", - Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya)

Over time, they will finally return from the captivity of the "Russian World" to real church life.

This is stated in a Facebook post of January 2 by Archbishop Yevstratiy (Zorya) of Chernihiv and Nizhyn, Spokesman for the Synod, Deputy Head of the Department for External Church Relations of the OCU.

"Most people know five psychological stages of perception:

* denial,
* anger,
* bargaining,
* depression and
* acceptance.
Now reality breaks into their closed self-sufficient existence, and this causes them anger...

Therefore, according to the laws of logic, the next stage is bargaining.

Sooner or later, supporters of the MP will understand that the real world is not their world of fictional prophecies, magical "theology", and faith in the sanctity and infallibility of the administration. And the real world is where the rest of the Ukrainian people live.

And the bargaining will begin. Dialogue, negotiations.

I wish the fathers, brothers and sisters to go through all the stages as soon as possible and finally return from the captivity of the "Russian world" to the real church life, accepting the reality that Ukraine has and will have its own local church, which does not need the permission or consent of Gundyaev and his patriarchate."
