According to the Public Relations Service of the Patriarchate, another piece of disinformation is being spread on social networks, as if, on the instructions of the Patriarchal Throne, Metropolitan Shio of Senaki and Chkhorotsku, “the priest of the Kashueti Cathedral was given a reprimand for opening the church.”

As stated in the statement, the information is a complete lie and serves only to divide society, incite strife, and discredit the church.

According to the Patriarchate, the Kashueti Cathedral is open to everyone, where clergy are present and, if necessary, will help citizens at any time.

“Another piece of disinformation is being spread on social networks, which this time the page “World Church News” shares with the public. They say that, on the instructions of the Patriarchal Throne, Metropolitan Shio of Senaki and Chkhorotsku, the priest of the Kashueti Cathedral was reprimanded for opening the church.”

We unequivocally state that the above information is a blatant lie and, in such a tense situation for the country, serves only to divide society, incite strife, and discredit the Church.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time. The page “World Church News” has shared similar false information with the public many times in the past, and the administrators of this page are particularly skilled in spreading slander about the clergy of the Georgian Orthodox Church, including Metropolitan Shio.

We would like to emphasize once again that currently the Kashueti Cathedral, as well as on November 29 and 30, is open to everyone, there are clergy there and will help citizens at any time if necessary.

We urge you not to follow such provocations, to maintain calm and common sense.

May the Lord cover our country with peace! ", - the information released by the Public Relations Service of the Patriarchate states.
