Priests the "new Church" of Ukraine was not allowed to serve in the part of the Athonite monasteries, said " the Country. UA ".
the magazine quoted text on the Internet representation of the "new Church," which tells of the visit of its delegation to Athos 21-23 June. It is mentioned that the members of the mission were obliged to visit such monasteries as Xenophon, Pantokrator, Yverdon, Philotheos of Athos, Esphigmenou and Caracal.
It is noted that these abodes after receiving the Tomos of autocephaly was loyal to Patriarch Bartholomew, with the exception of the monasteries Philotheos and Caracal.
the magazine also points to the inaccuracy in the message of the DNC, as the monastery of Esphigmenou severed relations with Fanara, and the delegation was able to visit only the monastery of Esphigmenou New.
The magazine stresses that Philotheos and Caracal a delegation of the "new Church" infiltrated, mingling with the laity.
Athos monks, seeing Them in priestly robes, made the decision to complement, to which structure they belong. After hearing about the DNC warned Them that they can not even leave the service even notes about the commemoration.
in such a situation, a delegation of the "new Church" left the monasteries. They were also asked not to be photographed, not to discredit the monastery.
"New Church" of Ukraine was formed in early winter of last year on the " unification Council ". The head structure was the Epiphany Dumenko. In January Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople gave him the Tomos of autocephaly. While world Orthodoxy, "the new Church" does not recognize.
The Ukrainian Orthodox Church headed by Metropolitan Onufry did not want to participate in the " unification Council ".
in the ROC's canonical value of this collection is called negligible, the autocephaly of the dummy, and the day of the signing of the Tomos - tragic in the history of world Orthodoxy.
A few months later, Filaret said about the split in the "new Church" and subjected to the accusation of the Epiphany in violation of the agreements. He said that he was obliged to become the de facto Head of the Church, however, Epiphany is not even asks him for advice. Besides, Filaret criticized Tomos - according to his statement, He does ptsu dependent on Constantinople. Convened by the schismatic Filaret "local Council" decided that Tomos is not consistent with the status of Autocephalous churches.
in the "new Church" report that there is no split, and the decision of the "Council" convened by Filaret, will have no consequences.
