Andrey?????? edit
I read the RISU biography but is that some sort of final arbiter? Is there an ethnological reason for Andrey vs. Andriy? I'm going to have to check a few more sources.--tufkaa 14:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- In official site UGCC also Andrey --Yakudza 10:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Sheptytsky himself chose the form "Andrey", which is the Old Church Slavonic form, over the modern Ukrainian "Andriy".Bejmark (talk) 07:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
more than one Wiki Sheptytsky edit
I appreciate the fact that the name of his brother Stanislaw looks different in English, but I wonder if we don't need a disambiguation page to recognize the presence of him and of Klymentiy, who spells his last name exactly the same as Andrey, and who both have Wiki pages. --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:08, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
The page doesn't inform about the massacre of Poles, including priests. Xx236 (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

hello. may need to add this information
On September 23, 1941, after the capture of Kyiv by German troops, Sheptytsky sent a congratulatory letter to Hitler, in which he hailed the Fuhrer as "the invincible commander of the incomparable and glorious German army":
Your Excellency! As the head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, I convey to Your Excellency my heartfelt congratulations on the capture of the capital of Ukraine, the golden-domed city on the Dnieper - Kyiv. We see in you the invincible commander of the incomparable and glorious German army. The cause of the destruction and eradication of Bolshevism, which you, as the Fuhrer of the Great German Reich, took as your goal in this campaign, ensures Your Excellency the gratitude of the entire Christian world. The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church knows the true meaning of the mighty movement of the German people under your leadership. I will pray to God for the blessing of victory, which will be the guarantee of a lasting peace for Your Excellency, the German army and the German nation.
With special respect, Andrei Count Sheptytsky, Metropolitan [24][5]
In 1944, immediately after the Soviet army entered Lvov, Sheptytsky sent a congratulatory message to Stalin:
To the ruler of the USSR, commander-in-chief and grand marshal of the invincible Red Army, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, hello and bow.
After a victorious campaign from the Volga to the San and beyond, you again annexed the western Ukrainian lands to the great Ukraine. For the fulfillment of the cherished desires and aspirations of the Ukrainians, who for centuries considered themselves one people and wanted to be united in one state, the Ukrainian people bring you sincere gratitude. These luminous events and the tolerance with which you treat our church have aroused in our church the hope that it, like the whole people, will find in the USSR under your leadership complete freedom of work and development in prosperity and happiness. For all this follows you, supreme leader, deep gratitude from all of us.
Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky[6].
