Ukrainian sectarian, a pope hopeful, held on charge of rape

The Kiev Police detained Oleg Kulik, a leader of the so-called “Ukrainian Orthodox autocephalous canonical church,” suspected in sexual violence against women of his parish.

Law enforcement agencies earlier received complaints from women who claimed that Kulik entranced them by reading prayers and then convinced them it was not a sin to have sex with him as they would give birth to “divine children,” Ukrainian edition of the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reported on Friday.

The paper further said that Kulik was a monk of St. Michael Monastery in Kiev in the 1990s, where he first told about his “specialness,” he called himself Christ, sprouted beard and grew long hair, then announced he would head “the Kiev Patriarchate” and the Russian Orthodox Church and afterwards become a Pope of Rome.

Kulik, who now introduce himself as Moses, was exiled from the convent and left for the USA.

He returned in Ukraine in 2002 and started attracting people to his sect. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
