The head of the Russian Orthodox Church has condemned the legalization of same-sex marriages as a sign of "the coming of the apocalypse."
Patriarch Kirill made the statement during his Sunday service at the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square.
By legalizing gay marriages, governments in mostly Western countries justify "a choice in favor of sin," Kirill said, Interfax reported.
He criticized governments that prevent people who oppose same-sex marriage from showing their opposition.
"Those who are true to their conscience in fighting these minority-imposed laws are subject to repression," he said. "It's a very dangerous sign of the apocalypse."
"And we must do everything so that the law never endorses sin in Holy Russia because that would mean that the people are on the path of self-destruction."
Kirill also spoke in support of a ban promoting homosexuality that President Vladimir Putin signed into law on June 30.
The bill comes into force six months before Russia hosts the 2014 Winter Olympic Games and allows police to levy fines and arrest foreign tourists if they have reason to suspect them of being "pro-gay."

At least someone, somewhere, has it right.
In America the devil is in the driver’s seat.
Yup.
Reminds me of the warnings from Garabandal.
Conchita is now in her 60s.
bttt
This is a repost! But Russia has it right, they don’t allow gays to spread propaganda, or do parades, or any of the disgusting S@$% they do here. Otherwise they get a visit from the police, and I’m sure they aren’t kind. Russia has always “mirrored” American society and politics.
Apocalyptic for the nation that celebrates sodomy...I find it ironic that as the Judeo-Christian ethic is being murdered in the west, it seems to be growing in Asia and other parts of the east.
God’s Spirit will not be stopped.
