Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia called on Russians to rally around the “city of Moscow” and defend Russia’s independence from foreign centers of power. This, according to “Interfax”, he said in a sermon after the service in the Assumption Cathedral of the Kremlin.
Today, our people especially need internal unity. Everything is not easy around our fatherland … And therefore, our people today should especially rally around this historical center of all Russia – around the city of Moscow, realizing that our strength is only in unity, and as long as we are united and strong, as long as we keep faith in our hearts, as long as let us be inspired by the great example of our predecessors, and until then Russia will be invincible.
Victory is not always a victory of arms, but also a victory of the spirit, said the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. According to him, today “many people would like this spirit to disappear.”
In order for this to happen, it is necessary to sow confusion, create new idols, draw attention to new pseudo-values, transfer the human consciousness from the vertical dimension of life, which connects a person with God, to the horizontal, on which all the needs of the human body are planted.
The Patriarch wished that the examples of the past inspired the Russians to defend the country, “our true independence from the powerful centers of power that exist today on earth.”

The ROC has not directly expressed its position on the war in Ukraine, but Patriarch Kirill often mentions military operations in his sermons. In particular, he called for prayers so that “the sword of one brother would never be raised against another,” but at the same time he justified the reasons for the Russian invasion.
More than 400 priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate called for a church tribunal over the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Among other things, they believe that Patriarch Kirill preaches the doctrine of the “Russian world”, which is not consistent with Orthodox teaching.
Against the background of the war, Pope Francis postponed the meeting with Patriarch Kirill, which was to be held in Jerusalem.

Then release Chechnya and Tatarstan into independence.
Kirill is a putinazi collaborator. A former tobacco baron, with a villa in Switzerland, he needs to have all his overseas assets seized. Why is this arsehole not yet sanctioned?
“many people would like this spirit to disappear.”
Vanquish the spirit that blesses weapons that kill Ukrainian children? Yes, of course that evil should disappear. I don’t understand how any religious leaders can claim to follow the Bible or Quoran and lie to their people.
What a POS!!!!!
