Following the dense swamps and black ducts of pseudo -people's consciousness, as well as ideas about the religion of the times of schismatics, burned in the monastery for a two -step cross, the post -Soviet court brought the case of two “heresiars”, Yuri Samodurov and Andrei Erofeev, to the final stage. The Holy Inquisition, although incriminated to people complete nonsense, at least its experts studied theology and did not confuse God with the devil, but the devil with Virgin Mary. They could distinguish Joseph, the son of Jacob and Racheli, from the God's stepfather Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary. They were "in the subject." In the end, Goya was not burned, despite the "Caprichos". El Greco did not burn, also very atypical for the Christian mainstream.

Groding and pursuing a competitor-nauk, the holy throne slowly used art in his interests. Jordano Bruno was very unequivocal and straightforward with his countless star worlds, so he was condemned to the fire; Galileo proved that the earth rotates around the Sun: after all, astronomy is an accurate science. The then church did not know how to apply to the existence of its opposite doctrine of scientific truths and executed scientists. Calvian Protestants also did not disdain a bonfire and burned the server Miguel who described the blood circulation system. Only the Egyptian priests were able to use science, part -time astronomers and mathematics themselves.

But the church has always used art - it is ambivalent and amenable to interpretations. Did the dads executed Benvenuto Cellini and Michelangelo? Michelangelo decorated the Vatican, Cellini gave his cups and cups the holy throne. And Dante, too, did not hit the fire ... Today the Catholic Church does not renounce the Haudi's phantasmagoric temple, but calls for completing it.

And the Orthodox Church quite got along with artists and writers. "Gabrieliad" - it was a great audacity from Pushkin, all the more so in the 19th century, but he was not excommunicated from the church and did not give anathema. No one tried to repress Vrubel for his demon. The metropolitans did not rummage through the Tretyakovka or the Hermitage, looking for something to ban. The most terrible mistake of Orthodoxy was the anathema Leo Tolstoy, who took the lion's share of the intelligentsia from the temple to the atheists. Although Tolstoy was punished not for his work, but for rather strange attempts to reform the doctrine and church practice, which is not a layman’s business, but the problems of the clergy.

But most of all, thinkers and artists suffered from "informals". Such as Savonarola, who hated love, women, luxury, beauty, revival and wanted to see bonfires from books and their creators in Florence. And only when he was executed, Florence sighed freely. She got used to her philanthropists of the Medici, and not to the vague obscurantists. I do not propose the patriarchy to hang those Black Hundreds with batons, who, not understanding anything in theology or art, burst into exhibitions in the Sakharov Museum. What is happening in court, where an illiterate atheist prosecutor accepts the testimony of illiterate fanatics-seekers against two educated Christians, Yuri Samodurov and Andrei Erofeev, who have already organized two exhibitions in defense of the persecuted or profane Christianity, is bad not only for the country, but also for religion. And of course, for the Russian Orthodox Church.

It would not hurt these obscurantists with batons at least to monastery repentance: to plow, mow, build, need to clean. Indeed, for illiterate obscurantist, everything incomprehensible to him, even knowledge. Where to understand that, depicting Christ with the Coca-Cola logo and the inscription of this is My Blood, the artist protested not against Christ, but against the availability and relief of Christianity in the spirit of "postmodern" (like church marriages between gays or the use of mobile phones for confession). Where to understand that the “icon -ikra” is a challenge, abandoned by a communist nomenclature, for which the caviar has become a sacred symbol of success, and the icons - maculatory, utility. Indeed, in the picture with the Order of Lenin there is a bitter reproach for contemporaries, people of the 70s who prayed not to Christ, but to Vladimir Ilyich (and even earlier - Stalin).

The insulting of the ignoramus is not what justice should be paid to. Ayatollah Khomeini was offended by Salman Rushdi not because the writer despised Islam, but because Ayatollah was a fanatic. But this is the theocracy of Iran, and we seem to have a secular state. And if you forcefully drive into the church, it will turn out as with Marxism-Leninism. The fashion will pass, the obligation will remain, and Christ will be something like Putin V.V. Or Brezhneva L.I. And Russia will finally fall into paganism. Does the Russian Orthodox Church understand that Erofeev and Samodurov tried to return the youth smart, deep, beautiful and volunteer Christianity? I hope the court does not think that the gospel and in general the Holy Scripture is the charter of the guard service, and not the material for creativity, empathy and the source of humanism?

Too many “informals” divorced in our country, which are breaking their forehead, praying more than a waleswell than Christ, and are ready to take an ax and destroy the heads of intellectuals. But it was Samodurov and Erofeev, and not the idiots with the clubs who smashed the exhibition, that Christ would invite to the apostles. Christianity was not an audit of the Bible for Talmudists and reinforcements, not for the Pharisees (hypocrisy) or saddukes (fanatics), but for thinking critically, smart, free and kind people. The current Western (or European) values ​​are what Christ did not bring the earth. Declaration of Human Rights; Pact on civil and political rights; humanism; tolerance; EU and Amnesty International; humanitarian aid and volunteers; The corps of the world; dissidents and resistance; Strasbourg, Hague, Nuremberg - all this is in the Gospel. This is what the Samodurovs and the Erofeevs are planted. It is not necessary to fight with them, but with the priests who cripple parishioners, looking for the number 666 on the documents or exposing the portraits of Stalin in the temple. The Russian Orthodox Church must demand that Lenin be buried, and the stars from the Kremlin are removed (what Christians with a pagan temple in the center of the capital are we?); It should fight with grab-grinders and the Vissarion-Samosvans, who gather people in Siberia in order to stem them and their children with hunger and appropriate their property. We must be sad about political prisoners and simply about prisoners, crops and sick. Here are the traditional classes of the Church.

And now the wild church "informals" require the blood of Samodurov and Erofeev, and the whole church as an institution will answer.

These false witnesses, who did not even see the paintings, had once put the shock in the fire of Yana Gus. It was they, the Black Hundreds of all time and peoples, the ancestors of the prosecutors of two defenseless and innocent intellectuals, who stood in Jerusalem at that fatal passionate Friday and shouted Pontius Pilate: "Care away his blood on us and on our children!"
