The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said the government will draw up a law banning churches affiliated with Russia, saying the move is necessary to prevent Moscow being able to "weaken Ukraine from within."

This sounds like something the Pokish-Ukrainian, ex-Biden administration, “disinformation” czar, Nina Jankowicz, would come up with, she who at one time worked for the Ukrainian government.

Or a version of her on steroids...

Kirill openly supports the war against Ukraine and therefore so does his church. It is an enemy of the people of Ukraine.

It makes sense for Ukraine to outlaw an organization that provides aid and comfort to the enemy and that is in all likelihood using its facilities within Ukraine to assist the Russian war effort.

Patriarchate of Constantinople vs. Moscow Patriarchate.

Orthodox fratricide.

Thank you, Biden.

Broad brush an entire church much and all of its people because of one person?

You wanna support raids because of a far-fetched idea of so-called collaboration taking place?

🙄

That would include all Orthodox Churches in that region.

So...when does it become admirable to condemn individual christians for which church they belong to?

Seems to me that we have seen this before in the past world history.

He’s not banning Christianity. He’s banning the Russian Orthodox church which is apparently guilty of sedition.

I don’t blame him.

“Broad brush an entire church much and all of its people because of one person?”

When it’s the leader of said church and he’s BFF with the leader of a hostile nation? Yup.

Anyone in Ukraine who feels a burning need to worship in a Russian Orthodox church can do so...in Russia. In the meantime there’s a war going on and Russians cannot avoid the consequences of that war by whining like Democrats.

We have seen this before.

Last year as a matter of fact.

In Russia.

Sedition?

Prove it.

Secondly, take it out on all the church goers? All.these churches are guilty?

Raid churches?

Government crackdown on churches?

We’ve seen this before.

Zelensky’s hysteria.

Tell me again how Ukraine has no connections to Russia, and its culture, language and history.

You aren’t God.

You don’t get to tell people where they can and can’t worship as you attempted to elevate yourself to in your post.
