Kropyvnytskyi City Council Forces Transfer of the Church of the Intercession (UOC) to Schismatics
The decision, backed by 27 deputies, was made in response to a military request for a garrison church. The UOC community, which restored and maintained the church, was not consulted.
One would imagine that the commander could have simply asked the parish rector if his troops could attend the parish, or if a chaplain could be assigned to help with the increased volume of believers.
Unfortunately, this is not possible, as the Zelensky Government has banned clergy of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church from serving as military chaplains.
This move follows a pattern of local authorities forcefully transferring UOC properties to the OCU.

Christian Zionism Is a Heresy
Last week, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem condemned Christian Zionism. This is long overdue. Christian Zionism is a dangerous and heretical ideology. It distorts the clear teaching of Scripture and the Fathers: that the Church, not the Zionist state, is the true Israel of God. Worse yet, it leads Christians in the West to ignore—or even cheer on—the eradication of indigenous Christian communities in the Holy Land.
Vatican I Debunks Itself: A Response to Erick Ybarra

Sorin vs. Yasi: The Curse of Infallibility
Papal infallibility, intended as a gift to clarify doctrine, has instead become "Schrödinger's Pope"—a source of profound confusion because Catholics cannot agree on when or how often it has been exercised, rendering it practically useless for defining the boundaries of faith and causing more doctrinal chaos than it resolves.
