Patriarch Kirill: Depravity of the benefits of civilization prevents to defeat corruption

Patriarch Kirill: Depravity of the benefits of civilization prevents to defeat corruptionRussian society has spoiled the benefits of civilization, and therefore can not overcome interethnic problems, crime and corruption, said the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill in Podolsk, near Moscow after laying wreaths at the monument to soldiers killed in World War II.

“We stopped walking, writing letters ... We stopped communicating with each other, often replacing this communication with virtual communication or telephone communication at best. We have stopped doing a lot. We have become very weak, ”said the patriarch.


According to him, when electricity is cut off in a particular city today, people often go into hysterics, perceive it as a disaster, RIA “News».
“There are cases of suicide only because electricity was cut off in large metropolitan areas,” said the head of the Russian Church.

He recalled that the weaker the "inner man" becomes, the more vulnerable he is, regardless of "how his muscles are pumped" and what position in society he holds. The patriarch emphasized that the victory in the Great Patriotic War was primarily a victory of our spirit.

“You can lose a lot in life if you have a weak spirit. Here the Church calls upon people, modern people, relaxed by the benefits of civilization, to cultivate their spirit, to become spiritually strong. Then we will get a lot. Then we will transform our Fatherland beyond recognition, ”he said.

“We will work hard, we will be courageous and strong, well-organized, able to solve many problems - from interethnic to corruption and crime: all those problems that today so complicate our lives,” said the primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.

“And the strength of the spirit is brought up by faith, brought up by morality, brought up by culture, brought up by tradition,” he added.

In September, the patriarch called for modernization of the country equal to Peter I and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.

    The words the patriarch says are correct, but unfortunately the church often sets bad examples by some of its representatives.

      About Patriarch Kiril:
      Patriarch of Moscow Kirill:

      - Since the early 1990s, Cyril has been accused of having links with the KGB in the Soviet period. Western journalists attribute to him the pseudonym “Mikhailov”.

      - A defendant in the “tobacco scandal” associated with the duty-free import of excisable goods into Russia by the Russian Orthodox Church. As a result of the scandal, Cyril received the nickname "tobacco metropolitan."

      - During the first visit to Kiev, the watch of the Breguet company was seen on the Patriarch. The price for this model ranges from 28 thousand euros to 36 thousand euros, depending on the seller.

      - In 2010, Odessa law enforcement officers in connection with the arrival of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill blocked the city streets not only for traffic, but also for pedestrians. In addition, according to residents of Odessa, the police checked bags and searched all the people who wanted to go through the square.

      - In the same year, due to Cyril’s visit to Kiev, the metropolitan traffic police asked the drivers not to go to the city center for four days.

      - After the statement of Patriarch Kirill about the mounted photographs on which he allegedly painted a Breguet watch for $ 30 thousand, bloggers found photos on the Russian Orthodox Church’s website where there are no watches on the patriarch’s hand, but they are reflected on the varnished table. The case received a serious response and after that the watch was returned to the photo of the patriarch.

      - Patriarch Kirill on the sentence to the participants of the punk group Pussy Riot: “The sentence against the blasphemers created a judicial precedent aimed at preventing future insults of religious feelings of believers, protecting shrines and cultural monuments from acts of sacrilege and mockery. Expressing a positive attitude towards this legal assessment, the church, compassionate to every sinner, appealed to the state with a request to show mercy to the convicts. However, it must be remembered that condescension and forgiveness are most effective in conjunction with repentance and determination not to repeat criminal acts in the future. Otherwise, instead of correction, it may give rise to a sense of permissiveness, which will cause new crimes. ”

      - In early 2012, the situation around the court case on damages for an apartment owned by the patriarch, whose neighbor was the defendant, received wide publicity. Based on the expert examination, the dust from repairs in the neighbor’s apartment contained components that were hazardous to health, including nanoparticles, and caused damage to the patriarch’s apartment, furniture, and a collection of almost 1600 books. The total amount of the claim amounted to about 19,7 million rubles. The patriarch denied any involvement in the lawsuit, as his second cousin lived in the apartment. The media expressed the opinion that the fact of owning an apartment contradicts the vow of non-possession, which every monk gives when tonsured. Source: http://censor.net.ua/r237565

                        You know, if the head of the church complains that it is impossible to defeat corruption due to corruption by the benefits of civilization, and at the same time his hours, comparable in value to my kopeck piece (apartment), are reflected from polishing the table about the cost of which I can only guess, I get a question for the Patriarch, and he himself sets an example to the flock, and if he has such luxuries (measured, guarded, residences, etc., I generally am silent), will he refuse any civilization benefits himself?
                        And to you, Alexander, I have another question, do you believe in God or in Patriarch Cyril, if you defend him like that?

                        If you read the Bible, you should know that the church is not the Patriarch, the church is where two people talk about God.
                        And to say that the patriarchy is mired in luxury and excesses is necessary, otherwise the higher hierarchs will generally lose touch with the people and flock. With these conversations, we can make the church better.

                        We now have "every gopher in the field an agronomist". To solve the problems of the Church, you must be a member of it. The Church has had "problems" since its founding, when Judas betrayed Christ, but it has been successfully solving them for 2000 years. Solving problems does not require hysteria and blaming opponents, but love and adherence to the principle of do no harm.
                        In our country, the majority of the people have long lost contact with God (forum VO is a vivid confirmation), but this people, mired in mud from drunkenness to pride, believes that they can teach everyone without being an example. It is better to make the Church not by spiteful chatter, but by becoming an exemplary member of it, corresponding to his life with the Gospel, when a person takes the path of fulfilling the Gospel truths, he begins to understand his weakness. And so one theory from the series "scum, or I also have the right."

                        Sasha, what does the church have to do with it? After all, in Russia it’s not Catholicism and the patriarch is not the vicar of God on earth, the patriarch in Orthodoxy is a shepherd (let’s say the main one), so feed the flock with a personal example, therefore, claims to the patriarch are in no way attacks on the church
                        In Catholicism, the church and the pope, one whole, Orthodoxy and divided with Catholics because of not accepting this postulate, as always with respect hi

                        Well, here I do not agree with you. Faith and church are different concepts. And the church discredits the current leadership. They have already retreated from all the canons, they almost kiss the gums with the rabbis, they accept gifts from the Gentiles, and deposition is supposed for this. Diomede wrote more about this. But he finished writing, he was deprived of dignity, and according to church rules, it was illegal. hi

By the way, I remember after the war, when Stalin decided to make the world center of Orthodoxy in Moscow, the Greek church began to water our church and the newly elected patriarch in every way, what kind of center of Orthodoxy can these rogue people have ???? they even have normal robes that are not patched; they don’t go in rags. Then they wrote back how much cloth and brocade to give out for the needs of the church.

      About Filaret:
      - The head of the UOC of the Kiev Patriarchate Filaret does not approve of the act of the newly elected Pope Francis, who, after his election, left the Vatican in a minibus with other cardinals, and not in a personal limousine.

      “I do not approve of such actions. Because it’s a show of labor, but one must be humble in life before God, and not before people. ”

      Commenting on the fact that he himself drives an expensive Mercedes, Filaret said: “If I drove Russian cars, I would not be able to visit my dioceses, as many parishes as I attend. I visit from 10 to 20 dioceses a year due to the fact that there is a car that does not stop. And so I do not need such a car as a luxury, but as a means of fulfilling my duties. ”

      - About relations with the KGB: “All without exception! In Soviet times, no one could become a bishop if the KGB did not give consent. Therefore, it would be untrue to say that I was not connected with the KGB. He was connected, like everyone else. ” Source: http://censor.net.ua/r237565

And the schismaticism of Filaret is most likely connected with the reluctance to share with the Russian Orthodox Church both grandmothers and power.

      About Pope Francis:
      The newly elected Pope (chose the name Francis in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who walked barefoot and preached mediocrity and asceticism):

      - when he was his archbishop, he prepared his own food, traveled by public transport and lived in a small apartment, and not in the luxurious residence that was due to him;

      - reduced the ceremony of intronization;

      - after his election, he went on a regular bus to the hotel, where he stopped on arrival from Buenos Aires, and he paid the bill for accommodation;

      - still lives in the hotel where he settled, having arrived at the conclave;

      - does not intend to move to the official papal residence - the Apostolic Palace, as "he loves to live and dine with everyone else";

      - Having examined his official residence in the Vatican, he stated that it was too large and asked to reduce the number of rooms allocated for it;

      - deciding not to disturb the secretary, he himself called the head of the Jesuit Order to General Adolfo Nicholas. The cameraman, who did not expect a call from the Pope, replied: “Pope? Yes? And I am Napoleon. " Francis reacted calmly, after which the operator realized his mistake;

      - considers the possibility of closing the Vatican Bank, which has been periodically at the center of high-profile scandals for several years;

      - stated that he wants to see Catholicism as “a poor church for the poor”; - refused the custom of talking with guests, sitting on a dais;

      - instead of custom-made famous red shoes, he wears ordinary black low shoes;

      - invites the Vatican gardeners, janitors and kitchen workers to the morning services he performs;

      - March 28, visited a prison for juvenile delinquents, where he washed the feet of 12 of its inhabitants;

      - personally called from Rome to the owner of a kiosk in Buenos Aires, who supplied him with fresh press, to thank for the services and to inform that he no longer needed newspapers;

      - made unplanned “exits to the people” several times, the last time he got out of the car to hug the disabled person;

      - refused the armored papamobile;

      - the fisherman’s ring - one of the main symbols of papal authority - was first made not of gold, but of gilded silver;

      - asked instead of the throne to establish an ordinary chair. Source: http://censor.net.ua/r237565

            You dripped in Google, read the headline and posted a link. You need to read, otherwise with such revelations wink In the 1990s, one of the Russian newspapers systematically published articles in which Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensky and Kaliningrad, the current locum tenens of the patriarchal throne, was accused of trading in alcohol and tobacco. The other day, the former head of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, Alexander Pochinok, denied this information and said that Vladyka at that time, on the contrary, suppressed illegal tax-free schemes of church income
            Well, thereafter in the text ...- With a sigh of relief and with a feeling of gratitude to God, I read the printout of this radio show on the Internet. Indeed, for many years a custom campaign was waged against Metropolitan Kirill in the tabloid press, where he was credited with trading in tobacco and vodka, where he was invented the vile nickname “tobacco metropolitan”. This was the work of one journalist who, by hook or by crook, tried to discredit the Metropolitan, but what a disgusting residue these publications left for many people! What colossal damage they inflicted - no, not to the Metropolitan, but to the Church! How many people were deceived by these publications, how many could have left the Church!

        So, it is known that he either walked around the city, or traveled by public transport - among the crowd of people without security, without accompanying persons. Everyone could walk up to him and talk to him. One of the stories about him, published in the "Tatiana's Day" edition, says that once, approaching the building of the Patriarchate, His Holiness Paul noticed many foreign cars at the entrance and asked whose cars they were. He was told that these were the cars of the bishops. To which the patriarch said with a smile: "If they, knowing the Savior's commandment about non-covetousness, have such machines, then what kind of machines would they have if this commandment did not exist?"

              Despite this, the Church is still trying to help. But this is not interesting to many. It is much more interesting to post a photo with the Patriarch’s clock.

    In general, I agree with the patriarch, although steep priests are found in the churches, so to speak, not without sin. In September, the patriarch urged, when modernizing the country, to be equal to Peter I and Alexander Nevsky. Well, everything is clear with Alexander Nevsky, but Peter 1 !? Yes, Peter 1 did a lot of important and necessary things, but what he took from abroad, namely foreign dresses, etc., here I am a vigilant writer. I want to remind you that Peter 1 introduced the Julian calendar. How many glorious stories have been stolen from us, how many have been cut, or rather, cut off to our memory! Lost many thousands of years. I say right away ethnic strife or something like that I’m not going to arrange, but I expressed my opinions as best I could.

      Well, I don’t know how Alexander Nevsky modernized the country, history is silent about this, but Peter began the modernization by cutting his beards, confiscating church property and sharply restricting the influence of the church, and of course he re-melted the bells into cannons.

          believers and patriarchs are different personalities, by the way, there are no patriarchs in Judaism and the position of chief rabbi, not only is the elective one, there is also a time frame for cadences, and they certainly can not be compared with any influence, property, or income of the patriarch , in general, the chief rabbi is an ordinary civil servant with an established salary at the deputy level. Minister.
          Well, and what believers have - so God - God, Caesar - Caesarean

          Sasha, hello, good day !!!
          As for the peisats, I agree with you, but the whole trick is that it is for the peaks that the chief rabbi is absolutely no authority. They (orthodoxes) have their own rabbis, these are truly wealthy people who transfer power almost by inheritance and are interested in only one thing, in preserving their stock, by the method of different taboos and keeping them in yeshiva, which means on the border of specific poverty, in Judaism under there are 2 main currents (ashkenazy, sephardic) there are so-called “hatserot” houses inside them, where there are rulers of their own, there are about 15 such movements and, of course, adherents of one hatser in no way subordinate to other rabbis, but how they don’t perceive them at all, therefore it’s absolutely wrong to talk about the main rabbis (they are two, the Sephardic and Ashkenazi) as having some kind of figure, I would say that they have more influence on unbelievers than on orthodox, if only for the reason that we can see them on TV (orthodox TVs do not have the type of not to see sinful) Therefore, the influence of one on the other is too exaggerated by those who do not know realities, Further, the heads of the Hazerot, very rich people, collecting tribute from their poor beggars (in this we are no different from others) and having all the blessings within the framework of their way of life., while urging their flock to live in modesty and not give in to worldly things temptations. Doesn’t resemble anything?
          What I want to say, without imploring your desire to give the watch to patriarch, I have two questions
          1. Why do you need it?
          2. If I were a patriarch, I probably would not have accepted it, modesty, one of the main virtues in any religion, and church hierarchs should set an example in this, believe me, a watch for 3000 tons of rubles shows the same time as a watch for 100 tons euros, so the possession of such a watch cannot be explained by anything other than vanity, and this is already one of the deadly sins, I’m not talking about cars, because the presence of an expensive car can somehow be explained by the fact that it is safer in case of an accident, and care about the preservation of life does not apply to sins, but a clock, yacht, apartment of 1000 square meters, cannot be explained with anything other than vanity.
          And I am against this, and it doesn’t matter, in Judaism, Islam, Christianity or any other religion, the priesthood should be educated by personal example, and not envy and worship of the golden calf

        No matter what our patriarch is, he is ours, he is respected by believers, he does a lot, and we don’t know everything about him, and we also know how much they say to him and to our church.
        The task of the church is to heal the souls and it copes with this, well, at least it fights for them, and does much more than other ministries.
        I was in a temple in the city of Yelan in the Volgograd region, it is very poor there, everything is so old, but what is the strong Russian spirit and Orthodox faith there. Or here's another - the ancient Holy Trinity Church in the village of Platnirovskaya in the Korenovsky district of the Krasnodar Territory, here is the Cossack spirit and power of the priest! And how many parishes are being built and restored? And who helps them ??? Only private donations, the state is then separated from the church.

            It seems that you have agreed with me in almost everything, but anyway - how can you not argue, do not teach? I am surprised to you.

            It may be a question, you probably received higher education in the USSR? Where if not a secret?

            Well, to the question of watches. Well, a man did a good deed for you, helped there with something, well, I don’t know, comforted him, or simply stayed with you at the right moment, listened at least. Will you feel gratitude to this person? To him, a simple natural sense of appreciation? Would you like to make a personal gift? Why not. Here everyone understands this as much as he can, how he knows how, and as much as he can. I myself know one case, for a priest, one of his acquaintances, a businessman, presented a car, a BMW. This father built this, and still builds, probably 15 for years, a temple in Volgograd, it was very difficult for him, only with donations from parishioners. The temple is almost ready, the domes have been sparkling for 4 years already. So then everyone around him squinted, ordinary citizens who simply lived nearby, but the priest tells about it in a foreign car. But the parishioners sighed, here he received, father, relief in their work. Everyone knows how difficult it is to build, you have to wander around the city, agree there, there are workers, there are materials, here are parishioners, then you also need to get to the authorities, you also need to organize the service, the economy. He told how he reported to the tax for income from parishioners, laughter and sin. Yes, he still paid taxes! And you say hours. Of course, there are all kinds of priests. As there are all kinds of people, because the clergy, they are also people. There are those who are seduced by something. But to judge them is not for us, and it is not necessary. And where this happens, the church takes action, and this is known.
            In the article, it is said that the fight against corruption and crime is very important, that one must raise the spirit, one must believe. That is the point. It's right. And here they started a debate whether the church is good or not. It is important that she raises these questions, inspires the importance of these issues, and to us - the laity, and the authorities, too, by the way. These issues are extremely important to all citizens, for all Russians, Orthodox and not so much, believers and atheists, but to the opponents of our state and our Motherland, this is across the soul. After all, the fight against corruption and crime, drug addiction and other vices, this is a war already, the war is inaudible so far, but the war is for our long-suffering Russia. And alas, in this war, we are still far from victory. So the church, these are the soldiers of Christ in the struggle for a healthy Russia. I think so.

              it is very difficult to determine the line that separates vanity and hoarding, from the minimum that should allow a clergyman (and he is the same person) to live with dignity (to which he has the same right) And everyone seems to have to establish this border himself, of course It’s not good for the patriarch to walk in the rags and cast-offs and watches of Luch 1980, but we don’t need to exaggerate, we all perfectly understand where reasonable sufficiency is, and where luxury and vanity are. Therefore, the conversation goes in the direction of demagogy, when you start to prove that BMW is not a luxury, but a minimum. In general, poverty is different, for some cabbage soup is liquid, for some small pearls,
              The clergy should first of all think about this, because its role is not to declare the existence of faith as such, but to educate people in what is good, but only a well-fed hungry person will not understand (old Russian proverb, between others)
              in Kiev, the wife’s parents live near the Kiev Pechora Lavra, it was interesting to watch a string of SUVs of different populations of 20 - 30 summer ones, with jeans and boots on the 2000-3000 Baku sticking out from under the cassock, with muzzles that did not know a post or humility and were harder to handle not raised.
              We all know the boundaries where modesty ends and hoarding begins, it would be nice if they knew what we know (again I want to say - this applies to all religions)

                and in fact not only the church influences and educates society, but also vice versa, "as is the parish, so is the priest" - I will try to change the proverb. Society sees what is happening in the Russian Orthodox Church. And after all we are all people, we are the church. There are stories with young priests and their cars, when people died and other accidents happened, did not members of our society shield them? After all, people may have wanted the best, so as not to cast a shadow on the church, but it turned out as always. I believe that the law should be the same for everyone, both for ordinary citizens and for representatives of the authorities and for clergy, it is exactly the same - not more severe, but not more tolerant. Well, the law is the law, and there is also the unwritten law, how to determine the very line "where is reasonable sufficiency, and where is luxury and vanity." Everyone decides this for himself. Not everyone finds a rational balance, but I think there are more of them in the ROC than among ordinary laity. I will believe it.

        Peter 1 returned from the “German lands” in 1699.

        Immediately after arrival, it changes the Russian calendar to Julian. Summer 7208 from S.M.Z.Kh. becomes 1700 year from R.Kh. Thus, the millennia-old history of the Russian people disappeared, and conditions appeared for the fabrication of history, which the great Russian historiographers Bayer, Miller, and Shletser rewrote. After several generations, few people remembered what happened before Peter

            they weren’t yet.

            Beginning in 1700, the Russian calendar was replaced by the Julian one and ancient books were destroyed (on the orders of Peter, old books were taken from all the monasteries for “making copies”, after which no one else saw these books, nor did their copies). Those. all references to the real history of Russia were destroyed, conditions for the fabrication of history appeared.

            In 1724, by order of Peter 1, the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences was founded, to which German professors were invited. Russian scientists, led by Lomonosov, fought for the right to have Russian history, and they were opposed by the Germans, led by Miller, with the undisguised support of the Romanov court.

            In 1749, Lomonosov opposed the new version of Russian history created by Miller and Bayer. He criticized Miller’s dissertation on the origin of the name and people of Russia. Since that time, studies on historical issues have become a necessity for Lomonosov, for the sake of them he even abandons the duties of a chemistry professor. In correspondence with Shuvalov, Lomonosov mentioned several of his works:
            * "On the state of Russia during the reign of Tsar Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich";
            * "Notes on the works of the monarch";
            * "An abridged description of the affairs of the sovereign" (Peter 1);

            But all the works and numerous documents that Lomonosov intended to publish in the form of notes, manuscripts and preparatory materials were confiscated and disappeared without a trace. Several works were still published, but after 7 years! after the death of Lomonosov and edited by Miller. Computer analysis showed that this was a fake - there was little left of Lomonosov in them. The same with the works of the Russian historian Tatishchev. The works were published after his death, edited by Miller. For some drafts of Tatishchev, the originals of which mysteriously disappeared.

            Hanuman (Asur, that is, Prince of Russion), who ruled in Belovodye and Ahriman (ruler of Arimia, that is, ancient China) “Created the World”, i.e. concluded a peace treaty between the Great Race and the Great Dragon, according to which the defeated Arims built a wall (loopholes in their direction!) to mark the border of Rassenia. The wall was named Kiy-Tai, which in Old Slovenian means Kiy - fence, hedge; Tai - the completion of the summit, the great, that is, "the final, limiting the great hedge (wall)." Those. In ancient times, “China” was called a high fence or a fortress wall. For example: Kitay-Gorod in Moscow is so named because of the high wall that surrounded it, and not because of the Chinese.
            . Why are the loopholes of the Great Wall of China in their direction?
            The answer to the second question can be given if we assume that the whole history of China is false, and they could build loopholes inside China only under duress. That is, not the Chinese were defending themselves against the attacks of the nomads, but quite the contrary, it was the Great Wall that protected them from their attacks. Of course, we are talking only about some part of the wall, and then it was completed as it should have been the first rulers of China, from which they began the reckoning (about 100 years BC).
            The Russian calendar is based on a hexadecimal number system:
            16 hours a day, 9 days a week, 9 months, 3 seasons of the Summer (year) - Autumn, Winter, Spring. Our ancestors used this calendar until 1700, until Peter I replaced it with Julian. “New Year” was postponed to January 1, earlier the New Year began on the day of the autumn equinox. Historical events began to be counted from R.Kh., having robbed the millennial history of the Russian people. In Russia in 1700 it was 7208 Summer from S.M.Z.Kh.

            S.M.Z.Kh. (Creation of the World in the Star Temple) - the signing of a peace treaty, after the victory of the Rasichs over the empire of the Great Dragon (Ancient China). This victory was immortalized in the ancient Temples, depicted in frescoes and Images - a horseman striking with a spear of the Dragon. Now this story has been renamed - George the Victorious. Although St. George was born 5000 years later, in the XNUMXrd century AD and the feat is attributed to him after death.

            There was a symphony of authorities, it is easier to say equality, but not separately from the state. The state was conceived as a fence of the church.
            St. Joseph Volotsky
            The sovereign, like all people, is subject to earthly weaknesses and may be prone to sinful acts. The priesthood helps to prevent them. If the sovereign persists in his vices, then he is no longer "God's servant, but the devil." In this case, according to the traditions of Byzantium, such a sovereign can be denied obedience, but it is necessary to change not the form of government, but the autocrat. In this way, the power of the Orthodox sovereign in Joseph Volotsky is fundamentally different from Western absolutism, which denies the head of state the right to be the "conscience" of the country and compresses it into the tight framework of its own "spiritual needs", which absolutism itself determines and decides how to serve them.

    "Patriarch Kirill: Corruption with the blessings of civilization makes it difficult to defeat corruption" - said the man of God ...

    Patriarch Kirill arrived in Kiev on an armored train
    Master 230
    0 - 27.07.2013/13/08 - XNUMX:XNUMX
    Special letter train - armored. “It's like a hotel on wheels. That was Stalin's. There are five cars, the last one is a temple car. Protection at the Patriarch, as at Vladimir Putin. A special timetable will be developed for the train, and it will go on a dedicated track ”
    - The arrival of Cyril on an armored train with a huge amount of guards with a sweep of the surrounding areas resembles the arrival of Reich Commissioner Erich Koch.
    “It seems that they are moving through the occupied territories, where the partisans are about to jump out”









    Master 230
    41 - 27.07.2013/14/12 - XNUMX:XNUMX
    in 2002, Metropolitan Kirill bought a penthouse in the “House on the Embankment” overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Incidentally, this is "the only apartment in Moscow registered specifically for the metropolitan by his worldly name Gundyaev, about which there is a corresponding entry in the cadastral register."
    Another attribute of this life that has become the subject of wide discussion is the Breguet watch, which cost about 30 thousand euros, which Ukrainian journalists photographed on the left hand of the patriarch next to the monastic rosary. This happened the day after Cyril pompously broadcast live on the main Ukrainian television channels: “It is very important to learn Christian austerity ... Asceticism is the ability to regulate your consumption ... This is a person’s victory over lust, over passions, over instinct. And it is important that both rich and poor have this quality. ”
    The talk of the town was the luxurious motorcade of Patriarch Kirill, and the security services from the FSO, which he uses. In Moscow, when the patriarch is traveling, all the streets are blocked along the route, which, of course, causes widespread indignation of car owners. In Ukraine, the half-kilometer motorcade of Cyril completely shocked local residents: in a neighboring country, even the president travels much more modestly.
    True, we must pay tribute to Cyril: for official visits, he chartered Transaero planes, and uses his personal air fleet only for personal purposes.
    A separate and almost inexhaustible topic is the palaces and residences of the patriarch. Kirill seeks to keep up with the top officials of the state in this matter. His permanent residence was a newly built palace in Peredelkino, for the sake of which several houses of local residents were demolished. From the windows of electric trains in the Kiev direction, it looks like a large Russian tower - like the Terem Palace in the Kremlin. Cyril does not like living there: he is worried about the nearby railway. Therefore, the current patriarch ordered to redecorate the palace in the Danilov Monastery, which did not look poor before. The construction of the Patriarchal Palace in Gelendzhik, in Praskoveyevka, was not without scandals. the patriarch's palace aroused the indignation of local ecologists in the first place: it was built on the territory of the reserve, during construction many trees listed in the Red Book were cut down, and the territory of the palace blocked access to the sea for local residents. There are also patriarchal residences in all more or less large monasteries in Russia "

    It is a shame to see how priests buy palaces for themselves, drive luxury cars - and at the same time, without a twinge of conscience, take money "for a temple" from disadvantaged old people.

          All the same, the basis, the basis of communism is dialectical materialism.
          As for the similarity of some communist principles with the principles of primitive Christianity, this similarity is purely external, and by the way no less, and even more similarity is observed, for example, with the ideals of Renaissance humanism or ancient Platonism.

    “We stopped walking, writing letters ... We stopped communicating with each other, often replacing this communication with virtual communication or telephone communication at best. We have stopped doing a lot. We have become very weak, ”said the patriarch.
    It seems that many did not even notice when they entered into a discussion about the role of the church in modern society as a whole, and the moral qualities of higher hierarchs in particular ....
    And what have we really become strong? Strong in the first place ?? In my opinion, no. What do you think about this ?! Maybe it's worth discussing this.

    Talk about weaknesses, resulting in the extensive use of modern technology. or the availability of vehicles in my opinion is, in my opinion, a bit of a disguise for the lack of an idea in society, some kind of common core. Religion, in particular Orthodoxy, will not become this core at this time, it is progress that pushes it into the background, it is in this vein that the above words become.

          The patriotic press has already written about the feat of the 19-year-old Russian soldier Yevgeny Rodionov, who in 1996 was in Chechen captivity and at the time of the most sophisticated tortures did not betray the Fatherland and Vera, who did not take off his body cross. The state awarded Eugene with the Order of Courage. Now on his grave, thanks to donations, a two-meter cross has been erected, an icon is on, - and people come here and go. They come, specially, from the most remote corners of Russia, from other countries, to bow to "my unknown, quiet son". Mother, Lyubov Vasilievna Rodionova, says that this attitude of people "turned my whole consciousness in life ..." And once one of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War came to the grave of her son in Kurilovo (near Podolsk). He took off his front-line award - the medal "For Courage" - and put it on the gravestone. The Ascension Church keeps miraculous icons that heal from alcoholism and drug addiction.

          Many churches in the suburbs are associated with the names of great and courageous people.

          Priest Alexander Filippov, who was not afraid to make a remark to hooligans, was buried in the Ascension Church near the altar, and was killed by a shot in the heart on the threshold of his house in 2009.

          But most of all, Satino-Russian is currently known for the fact that here near the Ascension Church there is the grave of Evgeny Rodionov.

          A simple Russian guy Yevgeny Rodionov was drafted into the army in the border troops. In January 1996, he was captured during the duty at a checkpoint on the Chechen-Ingush border.

          On the proposal to remove the pectoral cross in order to save life, he refused.

          The birthday coincided with the day of execution - on May 23, 1999, Evgeny Rodionov turned 19 years old.

          He was awarded the Order of Courage and the Order of Glory of Russia posthumously.

    He speaks correctly, but what to do is again only standard calls ..
    It should be understood that the basic commandment “Love your neighbor ...” was given to people long before the advent of Christianity, as a teaching, and is the basic law of the existence and development of the human race.
    It arose at a time when people lived in a complex, unfavorable environment, in conditions of limited - primarily human, resources - the main goal was survival, procreation. Failure to comply with the law, unbalanced relationships in the group led to its death - at best, integration into other groups with a loss of identity.
    By the way, this is true in our time.
    It is interesting to look at the question of the national idea from this point of view.
    It’s simpler further - with the increase in resources, there are opportunities to violate this law, that is, the ability to sin, even without the help of the devil.
    And, very importantly, with the increase in resources there is a need to distribute them.
    This is how we live since then, sinning, receiving retribution for sins, but not spiritually perfected.
    In the form known to us, this law was formulated 2000 years ago - let's call it Christianity.
    The relevance of this law for mankind was the basis for the high moral actions of people and for all kinds of abuses.
    Obviously, this law is laid down in a person in childhood with the love of his parents, true Christian relationships in the family and society (to put his soul in), or not “Mowgli”. Now, obviously, we live in some kind of intermediate period.
    Unfortunately, we know and see that the soul can be destroyed.
    To comply with this law, three conditions are now necessary:
    1. There is a relevant, socially significant, goal for any part of people;
    2. To achieve the goal, people unite in groups and together, consciously act;
    3. The system should not be static.
    Based on these principles, the concept of an Internet resource with the working title "System of Actual Goal Setting and Activity Communication" is built.
    2000 years ago there were no such communication technologies.
    Religions, churches, sects are needed for those people who need certain rituals for self-identification. Since this is a certain dependence, there is always the possibility of manipulating the human consciousness.
    Everything is extremely concise.

    I don’t take the Patriarch as an example, but if a young father changes his car every three years (like ours) ...
