27 June 2022, 11:04Patriarch Kirill calls for dismissing doubt about rightness of Russian way
Moscow, June 27, Interfax – Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia has said he expects internal dissentions within Russian society to recede into the background and give way to the people's consolidation amid external challenges.
"God willing, our spiritual strength shouldn't wane, so that we shouldn't have any fears and any feeling of uncertainty about our historical development. Everything that's happening now is happening the right way, although our way is not easy. I mean not only what's happening inside but also what's happening on the outer perimeter. And all of this requires very strong cohesion and consolidation of all strengths of our people," Patriarch Kirill said on Sunday, while meeting with the presidential envoy to the Southern Federal District, the Krasnodar Territory governor, head of the local metropolitanate, and ruling hierarch of the Novorossiysk Diocese, after consecrating the St. Andrew Church in Gelendzhik.
"Dissentions that exist in any society between what was earlier called classes, although now we don't use this word and say different walks of society, should go to the background, because solidarity of all the people in front of tangible threats should come to the foreground," he said.
"Russia, with its faith, with its philosophy of life, if you will, with its absolute decency is a challenge to a very substantial part of the powerful world, where people follow different laws," he said.
The patriarch said one can feel this particularly well in the Krasnodar Territory and thanked all the locals for preserving faith, patriotism, and loyalty to their homeland. |
