Church before the second round: Poroshenko finally put an end to
In the second week after the first round of the presidential elections, the “Holy Church of Ukraine” (“HCU”) “acknowledged with regret", what in "pre-election period, its clergy were not always able to resist unnecessary negative emotions in public space».
As we remember, these ministers prophesied a direct hit in hell for those who voted for Zelensky, regrettedthat the Donetsk "Grads" at one time did not cover the 95th quarter of Krivoy Rog, and sent other curses on the heads of the unseen.
However, they all perfectly understood that official statements such as the above are nothing more than an excuse for especially politically correct people.
How else to explain that the “priest” Dedyukhin, known for his closeness to Poroshenko, (calling in the last week before the second round, even atheists read the Psalter for the victory of their patron) "piously christened" his opponent "stsykl" and "drew“On his forehead is the number 666. This call was accompanied by the “good shepherd” with the corresponding “sign”.
This is not the only "photo fact" from the "HCU" minister. Ibid. the next masterpiece of creativity from Poroshenko’s political strategists – SCU member Medvedev and sectarian Ukolov.
Well, it is not given to the witnesses of Thomas to comprehend that it was this gidnist that got the majority of the population of Ukraine, including pan-headed plankton. And therefore, such agitation only plays on Zelensky.
However, the HCU statement stipulates that “that the personal opinion of individual priests regarding this or that social and political issue is not a reflection of the official position of the entire Local Ukrainian Orthodox Church.” Well, yes, well, yes, in recent weeks the HCU website has been full of news about church trials of unworthy ministers, handing out the numbers of the beast to the wrong Ukrainians right and left ...
But what then is the “reflection of the official position”? Nothing but a "discussion of the future of Ukraine" with ... the wife of one of the applicants. And let's try to guess from three times, with whose, if broadcasts about this "discussion" website of the president.
“The primate noted that Ukrainians should appreciate the achievements of our time,” emphasizes Poroshenko’s website, thanks to which “it was possible to localize the wound in the East of Ukraine so much that society does not feel the war that is going on there.” “People do not realize that they can lose their freedom, for which our society paid with the blood of the heroes of the Heavenly Hundred of Maidan during the Gidnost Revolution.”
"Honorary Patriarch of the HCU Filaret", with the filigree of an old apparatchik of the Soviet temper, campaigning for Tomonosots, laid a straw in case of a much more likely victory of the Termosonosets: “Some media outlets insult our Church during the election campaign ... calling the Tomos received from the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew about the autocephaly of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, for which the incumbent President worked hard to obtain. Such statements are disdainful of our joint accomplishment, which grants spiritual independence to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.” Here, however, the old man confused "some media" with the "Evening Quarter", but everything is clear against whom and for whom he is campaigning.
“The Church expresses concern that in the election campaign ... we hear statements that are directed against the European choice of Ukraine, which poses a threat to national security,” the “patriarch” literally repeated the words “guarantor of the European choice” after watching the last “Servant of the People III”.
“On the other hand, believers are disappointed in the insufficient progress of society towards truth and justice, they are indignant at corruption, the lack of real justice, deep social failures in society,” the old intriguer feigned objectivity. “Our believers want to hear about it today, they yearn for truth and justice… The future President, fulfilling the demands of society, must now show how he will carry out significant personnel changes, carry out a radical restructuring of the judicial system, the prosecutor’s office, and carry out a real cleansing of the state from corruption.” .
It is possible that his favorite will "listen" to these words today - at the debate (if they take place). But in any case, the “criticism of the current government” has already marked the shredded staff frame in front of the new broom. And if he “ran into” anyone, then the fictitious Goloborodko, and not the real Zelensky.
But the representative of the true Church, Metropolitan Luke of Zaporozhye and Melitopol, urged not to believe any “repentance” in the debates. “If a liar can improve, it’s only in terms of honing more skillful lies,” he wrote on his Telegram channel. “You can’t trust a person who claims to be a believer, offers up prayers, but in fact pours out streams of hatred on his own kind for the sole purpose of staying in power. This is madness."
Much more careful outlined expectations of the Church by the manager of the UOC (MP) Metropolitan Anthony. Namely, “to elect someone who will be the guarantor of the stability of society, including the existence of religious church organizations in our country.”
As we remember, one of the applicants is calling on one of the church organizations to cease to exist within Ukraine. “The Russian Church has nothing to do in Ukraine: Home. In Russia", - recommended “supreme” after the hierarchy of the UOC (MP) refused to come to meet him. What is this if not a call for the expulsion of the largest Christian denomination in Ukraine - whose numbers exceed all others combined? Even the Vinnytsia huckster tried to incite the criminal milieu against the Church, remembering your vocabulary of the 90s: “The Moscow Patriarchate will no longer spread its fingers like a fan here” (as continued then the associative series Elena Lukash, “fingers like a fan, a hollow in feathers, trump peaks, Army. Mova. Vira").
And after the statement of the Kostyantynopilsky Pope that Orthodox Christians in Ukraine are automatically considered parishioners of the “UOC”, Poroshenko’s godfather (and part-time parliamentarian from the bloc named after him) stated that “the UOC (MP) does not exist in nature, and this must be enshrined in law "
So it is understandable why even Archbishop Jonah, the abbot of the monastery, could not stand it, one of whose benefactors (and the only one who actively promoted this) was Poroshenko.
It seems that precisely because of Poroshenko’s proximity to Bishop Jonah, the latter was previously present next to the Primate of the UOC (MP), Metropolitan Onuphry, at events involving Poroshenko. And if this connection finally breaks, then it’s definitely “to the morgue”.
