Macarius Maletych

Metropolitan Macarius (Ukrainian: Митрополит Макарій, romanized: Mytropolyt Makarii, secular name: Mykola Ivanovych Maletych, Ukrainian: Микола Іванович Малетич) (b. 1 October 1944) is a bishop of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) and a permanent member of the Standing Holy Synod of the OCU. His full title is His Eminence Macarius, Metropolitan of Lviv. Prior to the Unification Council in December 2018, he was the Primate of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church (UAOC), a jurisdiction that did not have recognition on the part of other Eastern Orthodox churches; he was restored to full ecclesiastical communion with the Patriarchate of Constantinople by the decision of the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in October 2018. However, this has been accepted only by the churches of Alexandria, Greece, and in part Cyprus.
