Soon Metropolitan Andrei Sheptysky. head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic church and a man with a patrician spirit. died mysteriously. Somewhat later it had been disclosed that he died from poisoning. Following his death the Communists published a booklet in which they tried desperately to dishonor that great man and his religious work. Then followed arrests and deportations of the .whole exarchate because it had refused to serve the false patriarch of Moscow. who was instituted to. first and foremost. spread Communist propaganda and spy abroad. Here are the names of those martyrs for the Christian truth and defenders of the people: Metropolitan of Halych and Archbishop of Lviv. Joseph Slpyj. 80yearold Bishop Gregory Khomyshyn.
