Nalchik, May 16, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has described a "catastrophe" the West's departure from Christian moral values.
"We know what enormous efforts today are being made to prevent primarily the Christians from authentic understanding of the Divine moral law. And we know what catastrophe is taking place in Western Europe and in general across the rich American-European world," the patriarch said after performing a great consecration and liturgy at a church of Mary Magdalene in Nalchik on Sunday.
Many Christians in the West are forgetting their roots, re-considering the foundations of morality, "justify the sin not only within their community, but also support the sinful laws which justify the sin," the Russian church leader said.
"Nothing of the kind is happening in our country because both the Orthodox Christians and Muslims are not prepared to live by laws that disagree with God's will and with the Divine moral law. This is our basis, which is why we have the foundation for building our coexistance," he said.
So do you believe today’s Orthodox Church is as it was under the Bolsheviks?
I’d guess there is almost no chance of Lenin’s revolution without Brits in the continental war. Interesting the Lenin’s return to Russia and the US entry into the war happened at the same time.
I’d also dare say the Germans would have treated conquered France better than Clemenceau treated the Germans.
The current church is rabidly pro-Putin. The current Patriarch was a KGB agent.
'Nuff said.

What’s the alternative to Putin in Russia? His biggest opposition is the Russian Communist Party.
They might have had to. Without the UK and the US, Germany and France would probably have been a lot more amiable with each other for the same reasons they are now.
If abortion is still legal in Russia, or is that "Mother Russia," how can Russia be "more moral" than the West?
How can premeditated murder of God's youngest, most vulnerable and innocent, that is fetuses/babies, be right under ANY circumstance?
I see a HUGE disconnect.
1. We would all be eating terrible food and
2. we'd all have bad teeth.
So it’s a tie regarding abortion. But at least Russia has taken a stand against Sodomy.
Whaaaat???
You DARE equate MURDER of babies with sinful sex?
My, are your priorities ... different.
At least Putin is trying
Russia ponders restrictions on abortion rights

Yes, Putin is trying, VERY trying.
MY read is that Putin would really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like there to be czars again with HIM as Vlad the Bad, Czar of Modern Day Russia: where BABIES are aborted on demand.
Sodomy is criminal but baby murder is legal.
I don’t get it. They haven’t accepted ‘gay marriage’ or any of the homosexualist culture we have. That’s a good thing, right?
And we have both accepted the murder of unborn children. They might actually be the first country to make it illegal after it has been legal. Their abortion rate has come waaaaaaay down. Now, they have pure demographic reasons as well as any religious/moral reasons to do that. Part of the reason they are in a demographic hole is they were aborting something like 280 per 100 live births as a peak in the early 90s. The didn’t get down to 100 abortions per 100 live births until the early 2000s, if I recall.

I know one thing: you will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get the truth out of them, especially from their news source PRAVDA, which, we all know, means "truth" in Russian. :o) Harasho? Daaaaa.
When the Chinese discovered amniocenteses to determine the fetus gender SO MANY female fetuses were aborted that there was an entire generation of men [not the wealthy, politically connected, propertied, handsome ones, of course] that had no one to marry. That generation of men was called the BARE BRANCHES.
Talk about misogyny!
The stakes were uch larger than what people thought. The objective was the spread of Communism into the West and even more so the nihilistic culture and ideology behind it.
Now that they have succeeded in that, the current Jihad of locusts that is being intentionally introduced is to completely lay waste and clear the earth of what remains of Christianity.
"There is no Truth (Pravda) in the News (Izvestiya) and there is no News (Izvestiya) in the Truth (Pravda)."
And a double helping of the same now over here.
