“to lead the nascent Ukrainian Orthodox Church into unity with the Greek Catholics as well, and thus to obedience to the Church of Rome.”
You’re kidding right?
Lutherans and Roman Catholics are more likely to reconcile than Orthodox and RC. If you thought there was bad blood between Protestants and Roman Catholics, just watch an Orthodox and RC get into it sometime.
The idea that the Ukrainian Orthodox will split off from the Russian Orthodox church and suddenly team up with Rome is ridiculous on its face.

You sound like you do have a dog in this “fight”.
