Participants of the exorcism training seminar in Ivano-Frankivsk

For four days, a training seminar for participants of the Association of Exorcists of Ukraine took place at the Ivano-Frankivsk Spiritual Seminary named after St. Josaphat. This information is reported by 'Glavkom' with reference to the Ivano-Frankivsk Archdiocese of the UGCC.

The exorcist priests of the UGCC gather annually for closed formation meetings to share experiences in this field. This Time, the meeting took place at the Ivano-Frankivsk Spiritual Seminary, where participants shared their knowledge and practice in working as exorcists.

Recall that the head of the UGCC, His Beatitude Sviatoslav, handed over lists of prisoners of war to the new Pope. The metropolitan congratulated Leo XIV on his election.

Recently, Pope Francis approved decrees for the deprivation of monastic status of Father Planchak and another eight monks from Ternopil region for conducting exorcism rituals without the appropriate permission.

In Mariupol, the Russian Orthodox Church performed an exorcism ritual at the 'Azovstal' plant, which was destroyed. After the parishioners expelled the 'demons', they walked through the streets of the city, 'consecrating' it.

His Beatitude Sviatoslav also met with the head of the 'Office of Faith', Paula White-Kayne, where they discussed the restrictions on the activities of religious organizations in the occupied territories and issues related to the destruction of churches and the detention of priests.
