"Metropolitan" Nestor of the Ternopil and Kremenets (OCU) said that his organization is not opposed to Uniates serving there after the Pochaiv Lavra is "transferred" to the OCU.
In an interview with "Suspіlne" Nestor Pysyk said that he was appointed "archimandrite" of the Pochaiv Lavra, although, according to him, it does not mean that he will be directly in the Lavra, "even when the Lavra is transferred to us”.
When asked about the possibility of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church "using" the Pochaiv Lavra, Nestor Pysyk replied that his personal position is that "the Pochaiv Lavra should become the same common shrine as famous Zarvanitsa."
"That is, it (Zarvanitsa, - Ed.) belongs to the Greek Catholic Church but when Orthodox priests (from the OCU – Ed.) with parishioners come as pilgrims, they have the right to pray there," Pysyk explained.
According to Pysyk, the OCU is ready to reissue documents for the Pochaiv Lavra.
