Said, he was not simply the head of one of the denominations, and the Ukrainian people. Says the cardinal asked him to advise where the best place in Kiev for the Patriarchal Cathedral.
“I asked him what the best place is Batu mountain. This is a place that over Kiev and all the churches on the right Bank. I listened to the Patriarch and says, we go to the left Bank, on the sand, and standing on the left Bank, we have already mastered Eastern Ukraine. In this he showed his collegiality,” recalls serhiychuk.

To honor the human era has arrived and the personal envoy of the Pope – he sends the words of Francis: “His words were simple, understandable for everyone, but at the same time very profound. His wisdom was the gospel”.
