The Ministry of Culture’s list of traditional values should include faith in God, says the Russian Orthodox Church.
Vladimir Legoida, the head of the Synodal Department for Relations Between the Church and Society and the Media, presented the Church’s position at a recent discussion on the draft of the fundamentals of state policy for the preservation and strengthening of traditional spiritual and moral values in Russia, held in the Civic Chamber of Russia, reports Tsargrad.
“We propose that it’s very important to include a mention of faith in God or religious faith in the list of traditional values, and also to take into account the fact that religious associations are an organic part of civil society,” Legoida said.
While it goes without saying that religious organizations are directly related to issues of traditional values, in this day and age it’s better to state everything explicitly, the Synodal head argued.

In other news, Russia is the designated Bad Guy in all geopolitical developments.
Hunter Biden Moscow shopping spree, Hillary Clinton Uranium One, Obama 2012 to Russian figurehead President, Tell Vlad I’ll have more flexibility after the election. They’re the ones compromised with Russia. But it’s all, Trump is colluding with Russia! They’re even more compromised with China.
Military invasions sort of put you in that category.
Putin is about as Orthodox as Pelosi is Catholic.
Remind me how many countries in the western hemisphere have been invaded by the US.
Also, you’re wrong about Putin. He’s no choirboy, but he’s a believer.
“...you’re wrong about Putin. He’s no choirboy, but he’s a believer.”
I suppose that belief developed instantly after he left the KGB. No Soviet KGB agent was permitted to by anything other than an atheist, dedicated to the Marxist communist ideals and goals.
Pelosi is a Catholic.
Putin is an Orthodox...both manipulate religion for political reasons.
So did Charlemagne and Justinian, but no one ever said they weren’t believers.
