Today, prominent representatives of the Yekaterinburg diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church - Hieromonk Flavian (Matveev) and priest Vladimir Zaitsev sent an open letter to the head of the city administration of Yekaterinburg A. Chernetsky, reports Urfo.org
The message expresses an urgent request "On the restraint of a moral order in the city of Yekaterinburg."
Representatives of the Orthodox clergy notify the mayor about at least their "moral and civil protest" - a hunger strike, which they - not without danger to their health - intend to declare on March 1 if the city does not take measures to expel the "Sodomitian club". The Klon gay club was opened in the Rubin complex, on the site of which, according to the authors of the letter, "before the Bolshevik barbaric destruction" was the Svyatokhovsky temple.
"The assumption of the discovery in this holy place of the Sodomitian club not only causes the indignation of any Christian heart, but also leads the righteous anger of God to all citizens," the diocese said.
“The very presence of a homosexual“ pasture ”in the center of Yekaterinburg, open to everyone, starting from the age of 14, inevitably leads and will lead to the molestation of fragile souls of curious teenagers. We think that every adult and reasonable person would not wish such a fate to his children,” the appeal says.
The priests also intend to declare a hunger strike in connection with the fact that the mass media of the city "subjected the Yekaterinburg diocese, its ruling bishop and worthy clergy, trying to bring a fabricated idea of a non -existent split in the diocese." “It seems to us,” the representatives of the diocese say, “that supporters of militant homosexuality who serve your information channels will not dare to mock our hunger strike.”
The priests intend to hold a protest action before the city administration building, since they are "deeply sure that it was quite in your strength to put things in order in the city. It would be only a desire for this."
Earlier, the confrontation between Orthodox activists and supporters of "free love", which took place in Yekaterinburg a week ago, was already reported .
