FREEDOM TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n“This book must be urgently translated into English and distributed in the USA and other countries, because for some reason many still think that the Russian Orthodox Church and the ROC\u2019s representative office in Ukraine are engaged in praying to God. Maybe they do pray, but their only God is Putin, who is the devil,” Tsymbaliuk said.<\/p>\n
The journalist emphasized that the church openly “blesses participation in the war”, and not only against Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“You must always obey, you must dig trenches… And if you take into account that the Russian state-run television designates the United States as the nation\u2019s main enemy, then this should be conveyed to the Western public all the more,” he emphasizes.<\/p>\n
Tsymbaliuk noted that Russian agents in the West continue to misinform the public, claiming that Orthodoxy is allegedly being oppressed in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
“And if this book is translated, they will understand that the ROC has nothing in common in such a situation. In addition, there is one such point regarding complete submission to the authorities. That\u2019s actually the idea for which the ROC and Moscow\u2019s priests root \u2013 supposedly, there are no authorities other than those bestowed upon us by God. So, this Russian synodal translation was made with intentional distortions of senses, because the original text says: \u2018every soul submits to a higher authority, because it is not an authority if it doesn\u2019t come from God.\u2019 Agree, there is power, if it doesn\u2019t come from God \u2013 and it\u2019s not the same as all power comes from God. I think everyone should think about this if your country is ruled by crazy old men of 70+, for whom the main sense is death, war and death. This power cannot come from God,” concluded Roman Tsymbaliuk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
A war propaganda book about serving in the army, “Russia\u2019s enemies”, and absolution for dying in war, published by the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), should be translated into English and distributed worldwide. The church clearly supports Russia\u2019s military operations abroad, not only in Ukraine.
