Regular session of the Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church was held in Moscow on August 25, presided by Patriarch Kirill.
"We are meeting at a time when, as you know, all is not quiet in the expanses of Holy Russia. Many people are suffering today, really suffering, but this suffering did not begin now, as some claim, but has continued for the past eight years," said the Patriarch Kirill in his opening address. - A great many people in Donbass have indeed been subjected to tremendous distress. And wherever justice is violated, there is always resistance to injustice, and this entire eight-year history of suffering has brought its fruits today."
The Russian Orthodox Church has been advocating peaceful solution of the Ukrainian crisis, but Patriarch Kirill reminds that peace is unattainable without cessation of repressions and restoring justice which is the objective of the present military operation of the Russian Armed Forces:
"Our Church always carries the word of peace, of reconciliation; the Church can have no other word," - the Patriarch continued. - "But one cannot say 'peace' without speaking of justice. Peace without justice is what perpetuates human suffering, and peace without justice will not last."
"Let us pray that all these events will end as quickly as possible, that peace and justice will descend on the land of Donbass, that opportunities will arise for the peaceful existence of people, for the further economic, spiritual and cultural development of these regions," His Holiness concluded.
Unlike the Catholic Church in the West, which traffics millions of Third World types into Western countries, in support of Globalist Population Replacement plans, the Orthodox Church in Russia supports the Russian people.
It also supports this apparently...
No, sorry, that’s the result of the Neocon War in Ukraine.
The Russian Church wasn’t involved in starting that war, that was the Neocons, led by Victoria Neuland.
Neoconned murder most foul.
I like Patriarch Kirill's style.
That's how a REAL religious leader deals with Globohomo.
Rigggght....
Russian Orthodox church is purely satanic
Did you take that pic in your backyard ?
*MAGA First/Anti-War/Anti-Globalist Ping*
If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
No, but thanks for playing.
“Russian Orthodox church is purely satanic”
Can’t hold a candle to the history and present policies of the Catholic Church.
You seem driven by emotion (always posting pictures of dead people), like most women.
You need to see that every day!
The Russian Orthodox have produced some of the greatest Saints in the world.
Don’t ever stop.
You are so spot on.
Am I right that this weird ping list you do every time anyone posts critical items against Putin you are rallying a freeper group to attack these posters?
I think you should also change the name of the ping list.
It should begin with
MAGA last.
You oppose President Trump giving lethal aid to Zelensky.
Zelensky and Ukrainians used trumps aid to kill Russian soldiers.
That makes you mad and definitely not MAGA.
There are many great things about Russian Orthodox spirituality. Sadly, its bootlicking of oppressive Russian rulers - czars, communists, dictators - for many centuries is corruptive and taints so much.
The old patriarch was a member of the KGB: https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/feb/12/1
And so was the present patriarch: https://www.forbes.com/2009/02/20/putin-solzhenitsyn-kirill-russia-opinions-contributors_orthodox_church.html?sh=4e83c39e3bf9
“The Russian Orthodox have produced some of the greatest Saints in the world.”
True, and many of its members are scum. This is the reality of all churches today.
When your “candle” endorses genocide murder and destruction, I guess you’re right.
