Shame on the marriage

The laws on same -sex marriages adopted in a number of countries are completely broken with the moral nature of man and cause the same outrage of people as the laws of fascist Germany in due time and the laws of fascist. This was stated by Patriarch Kirill, speaking at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University in Bishkek, RIA Novosti reports .

“When the legislation breaks the connection with morality, it ceases to be the legislation acceptable to people, it causes protests.” Kirill said. “Why did people rebel against? For the same reason why they rebelled against the fascist laws and laws of the apartheid, the laws are darkened with morality.”

The legalization of gay brothers was the result of a “emphasis on freedom in full ignoring moral responsibility,” the patriarch believes. “If we want to be free people, if we want to build a really free society, we should never break freedom and moral responsibility,” Cyril emphasized.

"I am deeply convinced that this temptation, if you want, the historical temptation, which led some countries to accept these simply out of the row, - that all this should pass, because otherwise human society, breaking the connection between freedom and moral responsibility, between the right and the moral principle, will be a non -vain"

The Russian Orthodox Church consistently opposes same -sex marriages. In 2014, the Patriarch called the laws legalizing them " the threat of human civilization ." “The state law has never been used in the history of the human race to justify sin. Even the Gentiles did not have this, although the pagan concept of sin was very blurry,” Kirill said. He added that the violation of God's laws entails the death of human civilization.

In May 2013, Kirill, at a meeting with the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Turbiern Jagand, said that the Russian Orthodox Church never recognizes same -sex marriages , although even a sinful free choice of a person respects. “If people choose such a lifestyle, this is their right, but the responsibility of the Church is to say that this is a sin before God,” the patriarch said. The church is concerned not by the very fact of the existence of sin, but by the attitude towards it in society. “We are worried that for the first time in the history of the human race, sin is justified through the law,” said Cyril.

Currently, laws on registration of same -sex marriages have been adopted in 20 countries, as well as in a number of states of Brazil and in all regions of Great Britain, except for Northern Ireland. However, sometimes officials refuse to register same -sex unions. Moreover, they, as a rule, refer to their religious beliefs.

On May 24, Taiwan’s highest judicial authority recognized the law that prohibited the registration of same -sex marriages to be non -promotional . . The court’s decision notes that the refusal of same -sex marriages in order to protect public order has no rational grounds and is incompatible with the spirit of equality. Thus, Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalized same -sex marriages.
