Metropolitan of Ryazan and Mikhailovsky Mark have deprived the dignity of Archpriest Sergei Saltsov. The reason is the insults against Kirill's ancestors.
In Ryazan diocese, a personnel decision occurred: Archpriest Sergiy Saltsov was deprived of a sacred dignity and was eliminated from the service. This has been reported on the diocese's official website. This decision was made by Metropolitan of Ryazan and Mikhailovsky Mark.
The document says Saltsov has been involved in activities against and distributing rumors of Moscow's patriarchs and all Rus's Kirill. The priest was kicked out of the diocese's cleric to honor Mirliki's St. Nicholas in Ryazan. He was banned from continuing to serve in the Russian Orthodox Church. The specific details of his statements were not disclosed.
At the same time, dioceses emphasized that such actions are unacceptable and conflict with Canons. This event has caused a wide resonance between believers and became an example of a difficult position of the church related to slander and false information in the spiritual environment.
