"Curiously enough, today the West and Russia have switched roles. Russia supports the values that had been considered 'western' — the role of the Christian Church, autonomy of the traditional family, and cultural diversity. All these have become secondary in the West. They are only valued as long as they do not contradict liberal dogmas.”
In his recent essay, Vakhtang Kipshidze, Deputy Chairman of the Synodal Department for the Russian Orthodox Church's Relations with Society and Mass Media, deliberates on the drastic change in the system of traditional Western values. We are publishing excerpts from the piece.
“In his sermon on March 6, Patriarch Kirill, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, describing the situation in Ukraine, called homosexual pride parades a 'test of loyalty' to the Western world. Indeed, the issue of homosexual relations has become a ram in the European integration process. Even conservative countries, like Poland and Hungary, were pressured to hold homosexual pride parades expressing allegiance to the new European values. They say that imposing this uniform approach is meant to protect human rights, but in reality, anyone whose views on the gender issue do not comply with the political mainstream, are persecuted and discriminated against."
"Today the Western civilization, preaching pluralism, has in fact employed a totalitarian approach in promoting its liberal values. No country or state may contest the one and only 'correct' set of values. Otherwise, it risks being labeled as a 'rogue state'."
"Moreover, Christianity has been ousted from the European political landscape, and the process is still going on. In no document of the European Union will you find any mention of Christian values.

Values like taking over countries, raping, destroying?
Those are the devils values.
This is truth! Search your hearts and you will know it to be true. The globohomos in charge of Western Civilization are traitors actively destroying Christendom. And Putin’s failure to adopt globohomoism , and his promotion of Christianity in the former atheist state, is infuriating the globohomos who are driven by a spirit of satanism.
The Western Woke Crowd are in the vanguard of support for Ukraine and hostility to Russia.
The Politically Correct Democrats and Republicans decry Russia but deny Ukraine’s sins including its Nazi past.
All have sinned the Good Book says.
Anyone here who would believe that one nation goes to Heaven and the other goes to Hell is off track off the beam of the Higher One IMHO.
God wants all war to stop all hatred all provocations and bullying of others to stop.
Values like taking over countries, raping, destroying?

It’s even worse, actually. Russia is sending muslim Chechen filth to rape and murder Orthodox Christian Ukrainian women. But I guess some Putin loving eyes will never see that truth.
I feel it.
Dude.
Well, if this is the defense, it’s not very effective.
In the ancient world the Scythians, and until recently, the Cossacks, now the Ukrainians have done their share of raping and destroying.
Mostly for money, sometimes for fun and influence.
They were the Terror troops of the Tsars, they fought on both sides of WWI, the Russian Civil War, and WWII.
Anyone who would risk WWIII for a nation of mercenaries is insane.
Equally insane is anyone who thinks the Russian Orthodox Church constitutes "Christianity." Ludicrous pagan mumbo-jumbo only a step or two removed from Mystery Babylon itself.
It’s basically JUST the homosexuality thing and nothing else
They lie cheat steal, have mafia and oligarchs, hackers, always cheat at the olympics. high % of obese alcoholics
I’m sure some extreme muslim countries think they are more “moral” because they hang gays in the streets and women can’t drive but that doesn’t make it true
Mere minor details to his main point.
(And I AM kidding)
The orthodox church appears more Christian than most of the western denominations. And that includes the current Pope...somebody needs to take those keys from him.
You are not a Defender of the Christian Faith if you hire muslims to rape and murder Christians, fellow Christian Slavs you claim are your kinsmen.
It is the religion of the NWO.
It may wind up killing millions.
Ukrainians must appreciate the Christian values of their liberators.
What is there to argue about? Are Western liberals destroying Western, Christian values? Of course- without question.
Yep. You nailed it. Christianity is in resurgence in Russia; it has faded in Western Europe.
The Patriarch of Moscow is a KGB officer (once KGB always KGB) as are many orthodox priests in Russia.
