Please do not Forget the Past!!!!!

Every knows that it is Kyiv that is the real seat of the Patriarchate because it is where the Christendom of Kyivan Rus begun, owing to the Baptism of St. Volodymyr of Kiev in 988 AD, and besides Moscow who usurped the title Patriarchate in 1589, now we have another Claimant to the Title itself, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate which has broke Communion with Moscow in 1992 and was lead by Filaret (Denysenko), who is the former Metropolitan of Kyiv of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Moscow Patriarchate and claims to be a contender, besides the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Major Archiepiscopate
But let us not forget that before Filaret is the Russian Orthodox Hierarch, he became the Chief Proponent of persecuting the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in 1960's and 1970's, so why he is making allies to the People he persecuted before??? Very surprising indeed but of course thats what happen when Nationalism is a widespread ideology not just in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kyiv Patriarchate but the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as well, forgetting how they suffered too much, and thats because of that man who are now making alliance too
To be honest and exact, Ukrainian Greek Catholic should not forget the Martyrs of their Church who have died for the sake of unity with the Catholic Church and the Pope, at the same time they making a "Unholy" Alliance with this Filaret
Look at this Photo to remind you of the Persecutions!!!
Do not maligned their Memory, of how they endured the Oppression for the sake of oneness with the One Church of Christ, the Holy Mother Catholic Church!!!!! Precisely they are not just the ones who attained the Martyrdom, and in this site we have more people, not yet beatified or canonized, who have become martyrs of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church., they are lots of them and it will be a Sacrilege in their memory that now Ukrainian Greek Catholic is making pact with this Filaret. And again this another picture shows who must be the rightful one who claimed the Patriarchate, honestly and not Filaret
