CHRISTIANS FROM MOLDOVA URGE YOU: DO NOT COMMIT THE BLASPHEMY AGAINST OUR SAVIOR

Yesterday Thursday, May 18, 2006 by about 5 o'clock in the afternoon about two hundred and fifty Christians had gathered in front of the cinema “Patria” as a way to express discontent toward the country’s political leaders who failed to show any reaction to the message of orthodox Christians from Moldova expressed on the part of the Metropolitanate regarding premiering of the movie in our country making blasphemy of our Savior. [1]  People of different age and social categories were  holding the placards bearing the following  inscription: “ To the Faithful Sons and Daughters of the Orthodox Church – let you oppose the effects of aberrations brought from the West”, “Betrayers of the Orthodoxy are the betrayers of our people”, “ Do not make our soul filthy” (etc.). They have expressed their indignation and protest toward the State  governing body who failed to show the negative reaction to what is going on today in the capital of our republic.

A number of priests from Chisinau as well priests from other parts of Moldova joined the protest actions. Later on vicar of the Metropolitanate of Chisinau and All Moldova – Petru joined also the protest actions in signs of solidarity. More than an hour he talked to the passers – by gathered around him explaining them the mistake they can make in case they allow blasphemy against our Savior.

MOLDOVAN SOCIETY AS COMPLICIT IN THE DEGRADATION OF CULTURE - I

Analysis of political and social evolution in our country shows things sometimes take a curious turn. Again the question of the religious life of the population living on the Prut River left bank is the most provocative. One may have objections to what is presented here, but conducting a thorough research of the recent events helped us drawing the right conclusion.

I should say from the very beginning the majority of personalities expressing publicly their attitude regarding various religious events that took place in rapid succession in our country have no idea what they're talking about. Though gained orthodox majority since the last census the events under discussion do not have that desirable impact on a simple citizen's or countryman's mind. And it's scandalous to allow the blockheads, having no idea even about Liturgy to express publicly their point of view on the scaffold - providing a multitude of resources and information for mass-media write about visible doctrinal aberrations upon Orthodoxy.
