Any attempts to destroy Russia could spell disaster for the entire world, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, warned on Thursday.
Speaking after a religious service marking the Orthodox Christian holiday of Epiphany, the primate claimed that both the international community and Russia are facing “very huge threats.”
According to Patriarch Kirill, the root of the problem is that some “madmen” believe that Russia, which “has powerful weapons and is populated by extremely strong people… who had never given in to an enemy and had always emerged victorious, could be defeated under the current circumstances.”
Neither would it be possible to “impose on them certain values that cannot even be called values, so that they would be like everyone else and obey those who have the power to control most of the world,” he noted.
“We pray to the Lord so that he enlightens those madmen and helps them understand that any desire to destroy Russia will mean the end of the world,” he added.
The Patriarch’s remarks echo a statement by former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday, who warned the countries that want to see Moscow defeated in Ukraine that nuclear powers such as Russia had “never lost a major conflict on which their fate depended.” Should such a nation lose a conventional war, such an outcome could trigger a nuclear conflict, he added.
Earlier this month, the head of the Russian Church appealed to both Moscow and Kiev’s forces to establish a truce in the run-up to and during Orthodox Christmas on January 7 to give the faithful a chance to attend religious services.
Hours later, the proposal was supported by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who ordered Moscow’s troops to stand down for 36 hours. The ceasefire, however, was rejected by Kiev, with Ukrainian officials dismissing the offer as “hypocrisy” and a military ruse. (RT)

They call their spiritual leader “the primate”?
Long live the Eastern Orthodox .
“Of the fact that Holy Russia is still alive despite the continued reign of atheism in Russia, we have the testimony now of many observers in Russia itself. Here is what Gennady Shimanov says:
“Holy Russia cannot be buried, it cannot pass away; it is eternal and victorious, and it is precisely to it that the final word in the history of our people will belong…. Holy Russia went away only from the surface of contemporary life, but it continues to live in its hidden depths, germinating until the time, so that in the time pleasing to God, having survived the winter, it will again break through to the surface and adorn the face of the Russian land, which has been so cruelly lashed by fiery and icy storms” [The Orthodox Word, 1973, no. 50, p. 98].
RUSSIA’S MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
In the book which most thoroughly describes the events to occur at the end of the world, the Apocalypse of St. John the Theologian, at the opening of the seventh seal, which precedes the final plague to come upon mankind; it is said that there was silence in heaven for the space of half an hour [Apoc 8:1]. Some have interpreted this to mean a short period of peace before the final events of world history—namely, the short period of the restoration of Russia, when the preaching of world-wide repentance will begin with Russia—that “new, ultimate word” which even Dostoyevsky hoped Russia would give to the world [Pushkin Speech, The Diary of a Writer, tr. Boris Brasol, New York, George Braziller, 1954, p. 980]. Under present world conditions, when the events of one country are known to the whole world almost instantly, and when Russia, cleansed by the blood of its martyrs, indeed has a better chance than any other country to awake from the sleep of atheism and unbelief—we can already conceive the possibility of such an event. As Father Dimitry Dudko and others have said, it cannot be that the blood of Russia’s innumerable martyrs will be in vain; undoubtedly it is the seed of the last great flowering of true Christianity.
But it is easy to become lost in dreams of the future world. We should be aware of what is to happen at the end of the world, and of what may happen in Russia. But spiritual events such as the resurrection of Russia depend upon each individual soul. This seven will not happen without the participation of the Orthodox people—our repentance and struggle. And this involves not only the people of Russia itself—it involves the whole of the Russian Diaspora, and all the Orthodox people of the world.”

Any system that promotes “nationalism” to our natural social strata – predator, prey, and parasite, requires a constant force being applied to suppress individual tendencies.
There, fixed it for you.
8000 Polish men from the “Warrior’s of Mary Movement” have gathered in the Bydgoszcz Basilica. A video of them singing Bogurodzica (Mother of God) is going viral. Poland’s oldest song dates back to the 10th century. Knights used to sing it before battle
Fake and gay Judaized Protestants never been built anything of any comparison.
So you are saying that putting up a building, burying the elites in the floors of the place thats supposed to be a holy place, having a man who is supposedly infallible and Gods representative tell his church that spreading the gospels and seeing people into christianity is wrong, not to be done, where Gods representative bows and kisses the feet of a religious organization directly opposed to his, where Gods infallible representative says all religions, pagans and satanists are all worshipping the same god( which they are in fact), where the adherents sing worship songs to mary the mother of God and where the warriors of Mary (notice not Gods warriors) gather to worship mary, where the many adherents to this organization deny mary worship and vociferously defend the organization means and practices like any other cultist.
HHmmm If thats the case then carry on worshipping mary, never God, in a sepulcher of dead mens bones and be sure to send a little more money to your pope because he may be needing a new pointy hat, and seal it with a rosary chant to mary. Can you make an early appeal to her to shorten your stay in purgatory?? Asking for a friend.
I’m saying that the tools of mammon, i.e. muh capitalism protestants are fake and gay useful idiots who destroyed the unified Church/faith so that could be debt slaves to the ChoZen ? Now what part is it you don’t understand ?
Philip II: (1527-1598)
William Thomas Walsh
“It did not occur to the kings that if the money-lenders ever got
power enough, if they ever got from under the public-spirited
repression of the Church, they would destroy their own masters.
Kings were not generally as far-sighted as money-changers, and
much less so than priests. This is not to deny that clerics sometimes
condoned usury and profited by it, or that some kings repressed it.
Human affairs are never so simple as that. But there was a line of
cleavage: the Church on one side hostile to usury, the kings
compelled to make use of it on the other.
As the moral influence of the Church was weakened in the
political and economic spheres, in consequence of a series of
calamities for which she was not to blame—the Black Death, the
papal exile at Avignon, the Great Schism, the return of paganism
with the Renaissance—usury began to accumulate wealth and to
organize its influence. With canny insight it threw its influence, by
and large, against the power of Church and State, supporting now
one, now the other, until, by a see-saw process, it succeeded in
weakening both.
It early identified itself with the forces of heresy in religion and
liberalism in politics, until Protestantism at last gave money-lending a certificate of respectability, until a Lord Bacon could write a serious defense of it, and Harrison (in Holinshed) must chronicle the capitulation of the new Protestant England to “usury, a trade brought in by the Jews, but now perfectly practised almost by every
Christian, and so commonly that he is accompted but for a fool that
doth lend his money for nothing.”5 ”

You mean the unified cult of catholism?? The cult that is antithetical to God?
Yep, I understand the fake and gay catholic institution, and their cult like followers. You keep posting the same rubbish over and over as if it makes it true the more you post it.
If posting makes it more true then I’ll start posting all the articles stating the catholic positions are in direct opposition to what scriptures teach. which they are.
You are right tho in that the pursuit of mammon destroys everything. It affects everyone, ask the pope and the catholic church about that. To say its protestants is just not only hypocritical but completely lacking in self awareness.
Added: I know in protestant churches the pastors don’t come to the house looking for money when a ‘good’ catholic dies. Theres no expectations of paying from the estate to the church, not so with the catholic churches and priests. . I was in Malta during the 90’s and every feast you saw the priest going from house to house demanding money. Demand!! Not in so many words but very strongly implied, everyone there knows the message. Its called extortion by any other name
The Catholic Church defended the faith with steel, blood and wealth for 1500 years and the protestant fags have done nothing but debase and debauch the faith for 500. Pull the rainbow flag from your ass and get some history, boy.
The catholic church also persecutors of the scientists of the day. The infallible popes which you claim has been an unbroken chain, also not true, is a little more than flawed. Your loving tolerance of everything not catholic is more than telling, such a shining example of your god. Cultists always find it difficult that they are indeed, in a cult.
But you go ahead boy, maybe that priest will pull that rainbow flag out of yours or his ass for you. Its the catholic way. That and kissing the feet of the muslims… LOL
I see you’re still choking on that self-righteous bag of dicks, Saint Brian.
Your hatred for Protestants is your own personal sickness. Why infect others with it? Your reasoning is flawed and illogical at best, and flat out retarded at worst.
Heads up, fucktard. I am a Protestant. Born and raised Southern Baptist, but I, unlike a lot of fake and gay virtue signaling turd polishers here , I read outside of my comfort zone.
That said, pompous-ass Protestants are the biggest haters of the faithful, there is. Only God can condemn the faithful, regardless their dogma and FWIW, the Pope is not the Catholic . I need not address this to the self-righteous cockswallow Brian, because as Aristotle noted ” “before some audiences not even the possession of the exactest knowledge will make it easy for what we say to produce conviction. For argument based on knowledge implies instruction, and there are people whom one cannot instruct.”
You guys are almost as funny as the Sunni and Shia arguing.
I think it’s a hilarious haiku of homoerotic insults from somebody insisting they’re not gay, only hissing like it.
We get plenty of them Protestant gay fellers visiting us up here, eager for a humbling religious experience while git’n their turds mule-polished.
Catholic faggots prefer to polish the mule’s turds.
When you get through chewing on that bag of dicks, check this out. You no a better Christian than any other Christian.
I’m a pagan, proud of it and will always be a pagan. I follow Christ.
The only one chewing dicks will be you knobing down on your priests knob. Its the catholic way
More idiot than pagan… self righteous shitstain
dick eaters are always so angry
Big of you to reveal the source of your anger…feel better now?
the bag never lasts through a good movie.
Ebil cathlic…reeeee
