From the instructive result of the match of Brazil and Germany, a spiritual lesson must be extracted, the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church believes

The chairman of the Moscow Patriarchate Department on the relationship between the Church and Society, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, who watched the fights of the football players in Germany and Brazil last night, called the result of the match, which ended with a crushing account of 7: 1 in favor of the Germans.

"The sensational result of this match actually teaches us an important lesson: a lot in life depends on the internal mood, on the state of will," Chaplin said on Wednesday portal Interfax -religion .

According to the priest, Germany managed to win a convincing victory thanks to the internal power of the players.

“The teams played equal. Maybe the Germans were a little stronger, especially after the leading Brazilian striker was injured. But the Germans won the psychological duel absolutely, and, having begun to endure defeat, the Brazilians were confused and could not do anything but to score a goal of prestige in the last minutes,” said the representative of the Russian Orthodox Church.

He noted that it is so often in relations between people and peoples - in diplomacy, trade disputes, wars, personal conflicts. At the same time, "no matter what happens, it is necessary to maintain a peaceful spirit, firm will and determination," the priest expressed the conviction, adding that "this would like to wish us all, including our people and its leaders."

According to Vsevolod Chaplin, "if a person or people do not allow themselves to be psychologically, spiritually broke or suppress, make them confuse, everything will be possible, even in the most difficult, seemingly hopeless situation."

One way or another, the interlocutor of the agency summed up, "the Germans are well done, Brazilians are sorry, but it is pleased that the players of the loser of the national team after the match did not take out their anger at someone and did not curse, but prayed, too," as the priest, "a good example of everyone."

Note that representatives of the clergy recently have often been commenting on the events taking place in the world of sports. True, conclusions from this kind of reflections are different. If Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, on the example of yesterday’s match, made a positive generalization, finding the grain in the results of the competition, which can be borrowed by society and in others - unsportsmancuits - the spheres of life, then another representative of the Russian Orthodox Church Alexander Shumsky, reasoning about the 2014 World Cup, came to sad conclusions.

As already reported the day before , in an article published on the Russian People’s Line portal, Alexander Shumsky emphasized that the current world championship in Brazil, like a mirror, reflects the terrible moral and moral state of mankind.

In his opinion, the "liberal ideologists of globalism" are trying to contrast football with Christianity. Therefore, the priest rejoices that "that Russian football players failed and, by the grace of God, do not participate in this homosexual disgrace, and besides, also in the post." Archpriest called the “homosexual disgrace” the championship because his attention was attracted by “The equipment of the players who play in pink, blue, yellow and green boots.” “All these colors, as you know, make up the so -called pederastical rainbow. And there is not a single player in black boots, in which a real man should only play,” concludes Alexander Shumsky.

Today, he believes, football, which the priest himself was fond of in his youth, has become completely different. “The spirit of childhood joy, spontaneity and nobility left it. And most importantly, real creativity has gone,” writes Shumsky, emphasizing that “the main thing now is money.”

But the most disgusting, the representative of the church believes is that “football has turned into some new religion with its“ saints ”and“ prophets. ”“ For example, in Argentina there are even temples in honor of the greatest football player Diego Maradona. And now, here is another Argentine, Lionel Messi, the current leader of the national team, received the title of Messiah, and he, like Maradona, is portrayed with a halo above his head, ”Shumsky is indignant.
