UOGCC meaning in International ?

Answer:

What is Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church mean?

The Ukrainian Orthodox Greek Catholic Church (UOGCC) is an unregistered Eastern Independent Catholic religious movement that was established by Basilian priests, predominantly from Slovakia, who split from the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and declared the creation of the new church in 2009 based in Pidhirtsi, Ukraine.

The movement is not officially recognized in Ukraine by the religious community or state authorities. The organization is not officially excommunicated from the Catholic Church. The movement's seven founding self-consecrated "bishops" were formerly priests of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and former members of the Order of Saint Basil the Great. In 2009, the organization announced that it succeeded the "heretical" Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

The organization is also known as Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate or Pidhirtsi Fathers.

The movement has been described as anti-European Union and anti-Ukrainian nationalism as well as pro-Yanukovych and pro-Russian, as well as fervently against homosexuality which it often accuses its opponents of spreading.
