    Poroshenko is trying to create his own church and is dangerously mixing state and church together instead of there being a seperation of the two.
    This article fails to tell the full picture about whats going on, it`s NOT all roses and harmony for Poroshenko.

    Hierarchs of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church have refused en masse to take part in the so-called ‘unification council’ championed by the country’s president, sending “invitations” to the event back without reply.

    The mailbox of the man who sent the invitations – the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I – has apparently been full of late, since 56 hierarchs have already followed suit, the Church said on Thursday. Apart from them, the Church’s bishops refused to take the invitations in the first place.

    And you can already see Poroshenko invoking the Martial law by saying there will be no public gatherings allowed will be allowed.
    Next is the SBU saying the Russians are planning a provocation at the time of this meeting, will be interesting to see what Poroshenko tries to blame them for this time

    @Brendan Greene: The church in it`s present form in the Ukraine has been there since 1686, well before the Soviet Unioon, Modern Russia or Putin.
    Poroshenko is bent on ripping up history, there are some 200 churches and monasteries at risk of being taken over , it is =also against the Ukrainian constitution according to Krilli

    Active involvement of government officials in the drive for the supposed church independence is actually a blatant breach of the country’s constitution, Patriarch Kirill stressed.

    “The Ukrainian President himself does not make secret his hostile attitude towards the Church. Mr. Petro Poroshenko publicly threatened to banish from the country those Ukrainians who do not want to join the “autocephalous church” which is being created by the government,” the letter reads.

    “The Constitution of Ukraine stipulates that ‘the church and religious organizations in Ukraine are separated from the state’ and therefore any interference of the state in inter-church relations is unconstitutional.”

    @Pixie McMullen: Exactly what Poroshenko is doing unconstitutional? Do you the history? Look at what church was there in 1686. Do you even know that Moscow was build nearly 300 years after the first Church was build in Kiev? And the comments of Patriarch Kirill about “Active involvement of government officials”. The head of the church who is using government security services, government jet, 3 out of 4 of his residencies are provided by Putin and nearly half of all income of that church provided by Russian goverment. He was smuggling cigarettes from abroad in 90-s as “humanitarian help” (was officially investigated) and partly this way made his $4bn fortune.

    That’s a very bad sign for the whole region, it means the church leaders are openly taking political sides. With this, the political divisions are going to get more pronounced and more difficult to bridge well into the future. Like them or not, churches are a political reality, and can have a major effect on the public sentiment.

    Just so you can understand what is current (and former) Russian orthodox church is. It is a highly corrupted structure, very close to Russian Goverment and a big part of the top priests are “former” KGB agents as majority of real priests were executed during Stalin times and the rest was put to prisons or had to emigrate after 60-s. Kirill flies on Russian Government jet and security provided by Putin’s Security Department. Not all of the priests are like Patriarch Kirill and the rest of the top of that church, but as soon as they complain about something they are immediately banned from public ministry or even titles. Like it happened to the real priest from on of Minsk Church who complained on Kirill. https://www.znak.com/2018-10-15/svyachennik_vystupil_s_kritikoy_patriarha_kirilla_i_emu_zapretili_sluzhit Full article in Russian. Basically he complained that people have been waiting for hours for Kirill to arrive , when he arrived he even did not paid respect or went to those people, yet he was driven in his Mercedes to the Church door , only people who had special pass could come and the rest were waiting behind the fence or live fence from security. Some of security man were staying with their backs turned to the altar (big sin in Orthodox church) Pictures say it all https://www.svaboda.org/a/29541950.html?fbclid=IwAR0_499HANzP9KQq9dhoKNJWq7422aqYtLUOcS58UPoxFD18yWXIQZy2FhA
