Patriarch Kirill: Attempts to Build World Order Without Relying on Moral Values Led to Fierce Confrontation
Interfax ^ | 9/14/22

Nur-Sultan, September 14, Interfax - Modern-day challenges and attempts to build the world order without relying upon moral values as a pillar have resulted not only in the loss of the notion of justice in international relations, but have also led to severe confrontation and military conflicts, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said.

"Food, energy and economic problems stemming from attempts to build the world order without relying upon moral values have added to the challenges spawned by the pandemic of the coronavirus infection. Over the past two decades, these attempts have resulted not only in the loss of the notion of justice in international relations, but have also led to fierce confrontation, military conflicts and the spread of terrorism and extremism in different parts of the world," Patriarch Kirill said in his greetings to the participants in the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in the Kazakh capital.

The patriarch's message was read out by Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk, the chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations.

Today, "it is more difficult for people than ever before to find their way amid the flow of information, to resist ideological hypnosis and to keep a sober mind and inner peace," the head of the Russian Orthodox Church said.

"The possibility of holding dialogue in today's challenging circumstances is quite a valuable resource. It is an important step toward resolving existing problems. I am confident that the peace-making dialogue of the religious leaders along with their influence on people's minds and hearts can and should help overcome present-day challenges, harmonize international relations and establish a just world order," he said.

Nonsense. Where’s the moral value in destroying entire cities and villages and slaughtering people in a neighboring country?

Notice how TR deflects and says nothing about how Iraq was invaded and destroyed, Serbia being attacked (by NATO going rogue) and nearly destroyed on Clinton’s behalf under hyped genocide numbers, same for Libya by NATO on Obama’s behalf.

TR obviously likes neocon Republicans and neoliberal Democrats whereas I and many others don’t care for Putin, Have said so, don’t care for neos of either side, and have openly said so.

TR can prove me wrong by going after Clinton, Obama, neocons, neoliberals, Zel being tied at the hip with Soros, Klaus Schwab, the WEF, etc.

If TR doesn’t it would prove me correct.

As usual, your post never ceases to disappoint.

Your constant Hemingway to the “party line” presented by the GloboHome Pro-Ukraine Press shows you have no objectivity and you are not here seeking the truth.

You a simply a NPC parroting the propaganda, and if that doesn’t work, you resort to petty name calling

The truth, since you seem to be confused by it, is that Kiril is hardly a paragon virtue, and is in fact an enabler of mass murder and destruction.

Period.

BTW, Kiril is an old KGB crony of Putin's before he suddenly found religion.

So how many people did he personally kill, interrogate, or torture in that previous career?

Putin Runs The Russian State--And The Russian Church Too

Very true. As Ukraine moved away from its Orthodox roots towards Godless Europe, we wound up with the mess we now have there.
