RUSSIA INTENSIFIES WAR AGAINST LGBTQ CITIZENS AND VISITORS; PATRIARCH KIRILL APPROVES

1 Comment
The following article appeared yesterday on the BBC website under a different title and without a byline. Our readers will recall that the Kremlin and its puppet Patriarch continue to scapegoat Ukraine’s steadily improving record on LGBTQ rights (including Kyiv’s annual Pride celebration) as one of Ukraine’s greatest threats to Russia and one of the principal justifications for the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We note that, under the expanded legislation, the saintly confessor for the Faith, Father Pavel Florensky, would have been arrested and heavily fined with the blessing of the Metropolitan of Moscow for his theology of same-sex love in 1914.

Those convicted face large fines for promoting what Russia calls “non-traditional sexual relations”.

The initial approval of the extension was voted through by the Russian State Duma unanimously.

PATRIARCHAL VICAR GREETS ANTIOCHIAN ARCHDIOCESE

1 Comment
For context see the Metropolitan Joseph: The Scandal section in our Archives 2020-22 linked at the top of this page. See also Metropolitan Antonios’ biography which we published on October 24. We note that His Eminence’s greeting follows the adulterous, predatory former Metropolitan’s farewell by one day, answering our question of why the latter wasn’t published until a week after it was dated, but leaving unanswered the question of why the Vicar allowed such a shameless ego-trip to sully our eyes in the first place.
