Striptease advertising in the Ukrainian city was placed on the site of a destroyed temple

The bishop of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate (UOC -MP) Bishop of Sumy and Akhtyr Evogy expressed concern about the placement of striptease advertising in the city of Sumy.

“Residents of the city of Sumy began to turn to me as the ruling bishop of the Sumy Diocese of the UOC with requests to pay attention to a large number of advertising billboards located in the most crowded places of the regional center, the content of which is advertised by striptease and other types of immoral behavior,” the bishop of Gennady Minaeva says. About this with reference to the information of the press service of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church today is reported by the Interfax-religion portal.

According to the representative of the church, the Orthodox is worried that advertisers are distributing a product, "which violates their legal right to live outside of contact with obvious sin."

"Believers see a special cynicism in the fact that the striptease advertising poster is located even on the site of the destroyed Pokrovsky temple on the same area," it was addressed.

The bishop asked the mayor to study the issue of placing striptease advertising on the streets of Suma "and take measures to withdraw and prevent it from now on the advertising of debauchery on the streets of the city."

“Understanding the addictions of the spread of immoral vice, I pray about the relatives and friends of those who do not know, what a terrible sin he creates and collects God's anger not only for himself, but also for them. I do not lose hope that my anxiety will be heard and understood correctly, because my guarantees are due to sincere concern about the near future of the inhabitants of our city,” the appeal said.
