False peacekeepers fed wolves candy for five years: Russian priest on the situation in Ukraine
In Ukraine, the “squeezing out” of the churches of the canonical Church in favor of schismatics began. And this process cannot be stopped without decisive action by the Russian authorities, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church Vsevolod Chaplin wrote about this on his telegram channel “Orthodox Politics”, commenting yesterday's takeover by right-wing radical militants from the VO “Svoboda” of the St. Nicholas Church of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the village of Vorsovka, Zhytomyr region, which was reported by the local archpriest of the UOC Pavel Linnik.
“What I have been warning about for a long time has begun: churches in Ukrainian villages are being “squeezed out” by local managers and extremist organizations. And at the “national” level, quasi-legal tricks are being invented to “drag” church buildings into the “SCU,” Chaplin writes.
The archpriest's forecast is disappointing:
“The capture of two ancient laurels and hundreds of temples is, alas, a matter of time,” he adds.
“Of course, this is “state” terror. But not only those who implement or support it are guilty. The church-bureaucratic false peacemakers who tried to feed the wolves with candy for five years are also guilty,” says the archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church.
According to him, “one of the main culprits is the Russian government, which had and now has every opportunity to stop the neo-Bandera regime, but does not do this, fearing the West.”
Chaplin gives as an example to the Russian authorities the possible reaction of Israel to actions similar to Ukrainian ones in relation to synagogues.
“Let’s imagine what Israel would do if they started “squeezing out” synagogues somewhere and handing them over to neo-Nazis. There would be no trade with such a state. The perpetrators would be killed or arrested anywhere in the world. And we only hear some womanish cries of “respectable” men on television and endless warnings that have not warned anyone about anything for a long time,” concludes the archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church.
