Russian Orthodox Archbishop Says Western Europe’s Gender Policy 'Enormous Tragedy'
TASS ^ | 1/14/18

MOSCOW, January 14. /TASS/. Western Europe’s gender policy is "an enormous tragedy and next generations will see its repercussions," Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev) of Volokolamsk, head of the Moscow patriarchate's department for external church relations, said on the Rossiya’24 television on Saturday.

"The decisions taken in many European countries nowadays are enforced by the same ideology which has already destroyed many families, the ideology which claims that an individual can choose gender, that even in their childhood a person can define who will be their partners in the future - same-sex or not," Metropolitan Hilarion said.

"All sex reassignment surgeries are based on lies and deceit," he said. "The lies are introduced through ideology, which in its turn comes through school education. It is an enormous tragedy of contemporary Western Europe and the entire contemporary Western world. Perhaps, only next generations will understand the scope of the tragedy."

It is impossible to change gender, he said but "a mask can be put on the gender reassignment."

Let me guess. If I agree, that means I’m a Russian bot.

How many prominent American pastors and Christian leaders are willing to speak these truths? Sadly, very few.

Accordingly, the Russian Orthodox church is growing.

U.S. Christianity—Roman Catholic, mainline Protestant, and evangelical Protestant—is losing members and influence.

Are American Christians “double minded?” Peter warned about this.
