Vojvodina separatist calls for arrests of Orthodox Serbs
A well-known hater of Orthodoxy, leader of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina and co-founder of the separatist Vojvodina Front, Nenad Canak, complained that believers were gathering in churches despite government restrictions.
Serbian media reported this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Despite the agreement of Patriarch Irinej and President Vučić, and the statement that the church respects the recommendations of the government, believers gathered in the Church of St. George in Belgrade for the liturgy,” Canak wrote on Twitter. - OK. Do the police intend to disperse the prohibited meeting? Arrest the organizers? Why not?".
After the heated discussion that followed (the Serbs have a fairly strong commitment to tradition and Orthodoxy as part of their national identity), where many condemned the liberal and Vojvodina separatist for yet another Orthodox-phobic attack, he cited the “Spanish flu” epidemic as a historical analogy, which, despite the fact that “everyone prayed for salvation” claimed the lives of 50 million people. And then he attacked the priests, saying that they would not be able to wash their hands, as Pilate did, if people died as a result of their stubbornness.
“Wash your hands first! – Nenad Canak did not let up, trying to shine with wit. – The cassock does not protect against the coronavirus, it should not protect against the law either... I don’t know why, but the saying of the philosopher of the early 90s constantly revolves in my head: “If you stand in a church, you will not become a believer, just as if you stand in garage, you will not become a Mercedes.
By releasing a set of these caustic nonsense, the Vojvodina Social Democrat, of course, could not help but know that even before the final agreements with Patriarch Irinej, President Aleksandar Vucic said that “regardless of the outcome of the negotiations, it would never even occur to him arrest bishops and priests."
At the dawn of the XNUMXs, when the bloody parade of sovereignties in Yugoslavia was coming to its logical conclusion, Nenad Canak openly declared that “without an independent Vojvodina, there will be no peace in the Balkans.” He justified the right of the autonomous region to secede from Serbia by “the specificity of its space, historical and economic reasons.”
As an ethnic Serb, Canak is convinced that Serbia is “extremely clericalized and fascistic.” At the same time, he traditionally opposes the Serbian Orthodox Church, for the rights of any minorities to the detriment of the Serbian majority, considers the United States to be a stronghold of freedom and democracy, and blames Putin and Russia for all troubles.
Nenad Canak prefers restaurants, bars and women of appropriate behavior to church services and prayers, without fear of becoming infected with anything.
