Petrified ROC

Because of the worship of the war, the last priests leave the Moscow Patriarchate, who seriously perceived the commandments “not to kill” or “Blessed peacekeepers”

He believes in God, but does not believe in Putin!

One of the most striking clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church, which declared their anti-war position, is the former secretary of the Spanish Portuguese diocese of the Moscow Patriarchate and former rector of the Russian parish in Madrid, 46-year-old Archpriest Andrei Cordochkin, said about his departure from the diocese on October 10. More than three months about. Andrei did not commit public services, as he was prohibited in the service by the secret decree of Patriarch Kirill (Gundyaev). Since the decree is secret, the canonical motivation for the prohibition is unknown. But it is not difficult to guess about her: the reason for the ban was a complaint of 156 “patriotic” parishioners. They reported to Moscow that the sermons and publications of the Madrid Archpriest contain “Russophobia” and contradict the “general line” of the Moscow Patriarchate, which constitutes “Svo” and blesses the Russians to die in the war with Ukraine.

The Spanish flock of the Russian Orthodox Church is a very specific phenomenon. It so historically happened that in this country (mainly in resort Alikant and Marbella) back corrupt officials and security officials began to acquire real estate back in the 90s.

To feel “at home”, they began to build temples in the Russian style. If until 1990 the Russian Orthodox Church did not have a single parish in Spain, then today there are 20 of them.

As they grow older/aging, corrupt officials and security forces with many relatives moved to their resort possessions for permanent residence. Nostalgiars in the homeland, but accustomed to Spanish climate and comfort, the female half of this Novo-Russian diaspora amounted to the main contingent of parishioners of the Spanish-Portuguese diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church. They believe not only in God, but also in Putin, warmly supporting all the decisions of the “Nationalist” from their beautiful far away. Of course, some of the parishioners feel that Putin does not go well with the Gospel, but they do not write denunciations of the patriarch ...

Only stones will remain

Archpriest Andrei Kordochkin is one of the authors of the appeal of the clergymen of the Russian Orthodox Church on the reconciliation of Russia and Ukraine, which appeared at the end of February last year. Today it was signed by 293 clerics of more than 40 thousand, listed in the Moscow Patriarchate. Some of them were subjected to canonical, administrative and even criminal persecution. The document appeared even before the adoption of the laws of wartime - about “discredit” and “fakes” - was written extremely correctly.

“We remind you that the life of every person is an invaluable and unique gift of God,” the authors of the appeal write, “and therefore we wish the return of all warriors - both Russian and Ukrainian - to our native homes and families intact and unharmed. We are bitterly thinking about the abyss that our children and grandchildren in Russia and Ukraine will have to overcome in order to start friends with each other, respect and love a friend of a friend. We respect the God -given freedom of man and believe that the people of Ukraine should make their choice on their own, not under the aim of machine guns, without pressure from the West or East. ”

According to Fr. Andrei, the Patriarchal ban provoked a wave of his "bullying using social networks, telegram channels, with public threats." Different pocket “public organizations” of the Russian Orthodox Church, such as the “Union of Orthodox Citizens” or the “Association of Orthodox Experts”, began to achieve the resignation of the Spanish-Portuguese diocese of the Metropolitan Nestor and the chairman of the external church relations of the Moscow Patriarchate of the Moscow Patriarchate Anthony, supposedly “covering” the pendant priest.

Since peacekeeping in the Kremlin ROC is now the most terrible sin, and the war is the most saving feat,

The patriarchy warned about. Andrei, that he will be prohibited and will not be able to serve until he throws a handful of incense into the altar of the god of war, that is, until he supports “Svo”.

The history of the Moscow priest John Koval, deprived of the dignity and supplanted from Russia after he prayed aloud about the world in Ukraine, convinced Fr. Andrei, that there are no more hopes for healing the Russian Orthodox Church. “I have no evil feelings to anyone, who participated in the persecution,” writes Andrei Cordochkin. - There is probably bewilderment and pity. Sooner or later, the Morok will subside, they will have to live with everything said and done. ” But while he has the feeling that from the Russian Church in Madrid (and only is there?) There was only a building, dead stones ...

Christ against Alfa-Bozhka Putin

Archpriest Andrei Kordochkin is not only a symbol of anti -war movement in the Russian Orthodox Church, but also one of the most educated clergymen of this religious organization. In the 1990–2000s. He studied at the Theological Faculty of Oxford University and at the University of London, worked on his doctoral dissertation about the Monk John Climacus (ascetic of the 7th century) at the University of Direvation. He was elected and ordained specially for ministry in the West in 2003. Then Metropolitan Kirill (Gundyaev). For about 10 years, he led the construction and "well -being of the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene in Madrid - a city where there have never been Russian Orthodox churches before.

For many years about. Andrei collaborates with the “New Gazeta”, being the “human face” of the Moscow Patriarchate, which actually does not go well with its Stalin-Putin nature . For an anti -war interview, now removed from the newspaper’s website, the Tagansky district court fined the editorial office for half a million rubles in January of this year.

On September 30, the next article of Fr. Andrei-about the “gender” religion of Putin, which, as if starting from the rejection of the doctrine of gender neutral God, imposes the image of the aggressive “alpha-bibliy”, which patronizes the sadistic “sexual violence over Ukraine” (in the style of “I like it, I do not like it, my beauty”). The essence of Christianity is fundamentally incomprehensible and categorically unacceptable for the adherents of this religion of Putin, to which the Russian Orthodox Church also joined almost in full force. O. Andrei recalls Putin condemning by Putin the feat of the saints Boris and Gleb, extrapolating him to the feat of Christ himself: “The Son of God is a clear thing, not a man, since he could not put his tormentors on the shoulder blades ... The current obsessive, painful fixation of the Russian authorities on gender themes is in no way connected with Christianity, but has much deeper, htonic roots in the same way the cult of Taurus and reproduction. When they say that “the main task of the Russian people, along with the victory in the Ukrainian crisis, is to give birth as many children as possible,” then this means only one thing: Taurus needs new victims. ”

On the territory of the Russian Federation, perhaps, there are no longer the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church, openly opposing the war. For example, about. John Koval moved to the homophore of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and emigrated to Turkey, about. Nikolai Platonov is temporarily in Montenegro, about. Theodore Shumskiy asked the political forces in the United States. In the church language, one could say that the Russian Orthodox Church leave the “last bearers of grace” and it turns into a barren figured, damned by Christ (Luke., 13: 6–9). But, perhaps, it is even sadder: the path to Christ, reliably blocked by the Moscow Patriarchate, becomes much more difficult for the people of Russia than in the most gloomy years of Gosataism.
