Like you all did in diaspora! Not quite. When the HISTORICAL CHURCH OF THE UKRAINE is finally free, there will be no unia on the territory of Rus', NOT EVEN in Galicia! How the Cossacks will ride into Lvov! LOL!
When the Ukrainian Orthodox Church finally becomes self-governing, the appeal of the unia will decline, and will largely be confined to Galicia.
St. Vincent of Lerins defined the Catholic Faith as "that Faith believed everywhere at all times by all." We read in Acts that St. James AND NOT St. Peter presided at the first council of the Church. We also learn St. Peter was also firstly Bishop of Antioch, not Rome. And we know the Church was ruled by Councils and not papal monarchy. Thus, the rcs are heretics, can't be Catholic and the True Church survives to this day in Orthodoxy and the pope says as much. Moreover, the filth of unia is the result of murders and coercions. Thats is in no way indicative of the Church of the Holy Apostles. Galicians are in papal slavery and too ignorant to realize it and quite outside the Church. Reunion with Russia will clear things up. LOL!
They can build one with fresh dollars and seeing as how the unia is doomed to failure, they'll get that one back too. Recognition for CARPATHO-RUTHENIANS now!
Well, Pokrovsky, it looks like you've made a fine Greek Catholic friend in Felipe Góes! No doubt a majority of this congregation was Orthodox, and now they have to buy a new church.
Ukrainian Catholics are part of the Universal Catholic Church and due to it its influence will grow up inside Ukrainian nation till Catholic faith prevail. Orthodoxy is a schism, a religion that didn´t have unity and Catholicism is a universal religion with 1,1 billion of faithfuls. However schismatics are divided in Russians, Greeks, Bulgarians and others and it is a mark of unequality and Orthodoxy won't be Christ's Church.
Another difference between Carpatho-Russians and Galicians: THEY PAY FOR THINGS AND DON'T RESORT TO BRUTALITY AND GOVERNMENT COERCION. RECOGNITION FOR CARPATHO-RUTHENIANS NOW! Down with galician neo-nazism!
