- Marta Dyczok: How will the tomos of autocephaly be implemented? Who has the authority to decide who will join this church?

- 0:22 Piotr Wróbel: Will this tomos of autocephaly really help Ukraine? I am not sure about it. Does Ukraine need this challenge right now?
- 0:41 The tomos of autocephaly was unexpected because we didn't think that Constantinople would ever dare to do this given their situation, e.g. Erdogon government, Russian money, etc. The [Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople] must have been pushed very, very hard, or Patriarch Bartholenew is a man of vision and willing to do what he believes should be done
- 1:14 Jaroslaw Buciora: In the city of Lviv there are three bishops. According to the ecclesiology of the Orthodox Church, there can be only bishop in a city

- 2:35 About 16% of the population of Ukraine attend church regularly. It is regionally different, much higher in Western Ukraine.
