In the village of Velikiy Kuninets parishioners suspect KP priest of fraud

In the village of Velikiy Kuninets in the Zbarazh district of the Ternopil region, parishioners of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin, belonging to the Kyiv Patriarchate, suspected the rector of fraud. The believers wrote about this on their Facebook page "Political Zbarazh".

The parishioners complain that Father Igor Moroz, the rector, requires too much money to repair the domes: 200,000 UAH.

"We learned that the highest price per square meter of work is 300 UAH, and we have a coating for old metal, they do not remove anything and do not change the wood," the indignant parishioners write. "It is not known where the price of 40,000 UAH per dome comes from, when its area does not exceed 20 square meters. Thus, one dome costs 6, 000 plus metal, about 10 thousand in total. Igor said that the metal is expensive, because it was imported from abroad, but checking on the computer, we learned that the metal is from our area. In addition, every day we allocate 450 UAH to workers for food, and as the restor says: "Maybe someone else has chicken or duck for worker’s lunch?". When it comes to such a price, we can confidently say that they can dine at a restaurant. So, where to find the truth?"

The parishioners of the Kyiv Patriarchate complain that their priest "has too much appetite." They say that they are forced to pay 300-400 UAH for a funeral rite, despite the fact that every month they collect 20 UAH for a salary from each household.

"Many of the parishioners, under such circumstances, are going to transfer to the Church of the Moscow Patriarchate," write dissatisfied believers.

The priest of the Kyiv Patriarchate, Igor Moroz, is known for taking active part in seizing churches of the UOC in the villages of Kotiuzhiny and Kinakhovtsy.

According to the UOJ source, Igor Moroz has been seen more than once in a state of intoxication, threatening: "We will not stop! We will take over all the churches here!"
