Leonid Gozman: "The power of tradition"

“They were given a sketch course about the bombing of Voronezh at the KGB Higher School. Therefore, its graduates, both secular ones, act in the same way in the government and in the Holy Synod. Some have banned cheese, and if it makes its way here through secret paths, they catch it under bulldozers,” writes politician and public figure on his Facebook page.

“Others in the Synod were not satisfied with the showdown with the Ecumenical Patriarch, whom they even stopped calling Ecumenical - let him know! They say that now true believers, and such are, naturally, parishioners of the Russian Orthodox Church, cannot receive communion and other services receive in the churches of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.

Those. An Orthodox Christian needs to take communion, but there is an Orthodox church nearby, but it’s not the right one, so go to another place. I remember He commanded something differently.

And quite seriously: I am an atheist, I don’t need all their communions and baptisms. But others, who are no worse than me, are simply believers, Orthodox, need this. And those who prevent them from getting what they need, who lie like a log on their path to God, are bastards. And they will burn in hell, if there is a hell."
