In society

Bacchanalia continues

I really do not want to add a new touch to the “Campaign against the Church” - but, what can you do, events are lying one after another, and more and more eloquent.

On Monday, in the Moscow City Duma, a round table was held on the adoption of a new law on the prohibition of propaganda of homosexuality. The Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, the audience, who acted there, warned the audience that the authors of the law (walking in the expanses of our Motherland, thanks to the long -term efforts of the patriarchy avant -garde, are noticed) can be accused of entrusting the society “into the abyss of the Middle Ages”, but such statements are not true.

And reality played with Archpriest a cruel joke: the father of Ivan Kharchenko, having learned that his son Gay, closed the 16-year-old young man in the private clinic of Marshak with the words "better you will be a vegetable than gay." I decided to treat it from homosexuality after attempts to expel the “homosexual demon” from the healers of the Center of Vinogradov (the boy’s classmates in LiveJournal wrote about this.

Well, the church is not responsible for any madmen, the father of Vsevolod can say. No, answers. He answers, since since the beginning of the 2000s he has focused on one point: gay-parades-gei-gi-parades-gays ... as if gays and everything connected with them is the main problem of our society and we do not have other worries. But with other problems, you need to work: you need to organize volunteers, if this is social ministry and charity (and there are volunteers-but the number of volunteers recruited by Orthodox organizations categorically does not have the number of secular activists), you need to fight for streamlining the legislation in relation to church orphanages (the patriarchate has been screaming about this for a year, but, in fact, it does not seem to be completely in this. Interested, too troublesome and costly), it is necessary to organize church centers for the rehabilitation of alcoholics and drug addicts (they were expected for the whole country). And gays - this is a miracle what it is: he chatted, the final accepted - and has already fought for morality! Gay will not become less? So is this the point? We defended our “traditional values”, and there at least the grass does not grow.

And after all, no one prevents the church from explaining that homosexuality is a sin and evil. But then you need to work again! To enter into some kind of relationship with people, with the same gays, to force them to listen to themselves, in the end. Isn't it easier to dump everything on the state? We have the most part to fet for the church and the state because no one wants to do its direct business: the church instead of mission and preaching is finished with highly moral decreings, and now there is also nothing to say about the state.

And all these, yes, medieval-frost-free ideas are sustained in the heads of worldviews immature people. And we have the majority of them, and the majority looks at the authorities: what does she consider “moral” now? And now, frightened by the possible condemnation of society, parents are in a hurry to “remake” their “wrong” children or get rid of them - does the church strive for this?

At the same round table in the Moscow City Duma was a member of the board of the Non -Profit Partnership “Parental Committee” Larisa Pavlova, who stated that the adoption of the law had been late for ten years, they say, “the elements of such a (homosexual - S.S.) propaganda have already been introduced”. What are the elements? For example, "a crazy textbook for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs working with minors, where the author called pederasty normal phenomenon." Or psychological programs implemented in schools, testing programs, where there are also “elements of propaganda of homosexuality” - it is clear that again there is no call to all homosexuals to immediately bend to a shameful pillar, and perhaps there is even a council to treat him as an ordinary person.

What does the parental public offered by church newsmakers offer? Either stamping, or silent. In general, not to talk about the problem, to drive it into oblivion, underground, to make people of non -traditional orientation as if non -existent. And after all, all church councils are as follows - although, no, not all. Here with alcoholics, the church at the very least learned to work and does something in this field for the forces of priests professionally versed in the issue, and does not try, for example, to prohibit the propaganda of drunkenness among minors-and the problem will be more likely. True, it would be necessary to ban all Russian literature, but, in the end, for the benefit of youth, what can you do? Meanwhile, drunkenness for Christians is also a terrible sin.

So, maybe it is better to get acquainted with the problem of homosexuality to get acquainted?

Moreover, for the church, she is not to say that speculative-homosexuals are among the clergy, even say about the blue lobby in the patriarchy, uh ...
