Announcement from the Church Regarding the Deposed Monks of the Monastery of Saint Abbacum
January 20, 2026
The Holy Synod announced that the deposed monks of the Monastery of Saint Abbacum are irregular and their ceremonies are invalid. It is mentioned that these monks may be engaging in illegal activities concerning the State. The Church lacks the legal grounds to prevent them, while the State is expected to examine this situation. They may face prosecution if their activities are deemed illegal. The Church's next move is to confirm the sentence or impose new sanctions.
