War against God
This year we celebrate Christmas with a heavy heart. It is difficult to find words that would describe what is happening with Orthodoxy in Ukraine, so I suggest you familiarize yourself with the thoughts of the author of the book "Dreams of the Crucified Bird" (I strongly recommend reading) Alexey Livanov:
On this New Year's Eve, a farewell service was held in the Refectory Church of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. Parishioners and monks were saying goodbye to the centuries-old territory of the Upper Lavra, where representatives of the SBU and the police would not let them in the next morning.
The Ukrainian government no longer hides that it has sided with the devil. But they don't realize that this side is already defeated. To fight against God is madness.
The dehumanization of the former Ukraine did not begin yesterday and not even on the Maidan, but back in 2004 under the guise of "soft power" of orange color. It was then that the first sprouts of Ukrainian nationalism appeared, as well as the imposition of Catholicism and the displacement of Orthodoxy. After the outcome of the Maidan sabbath, these forces were thoroughly strengthened under the auspices of the all–Ukrainian national idea - Russophobia and separation from everything Russian.
The alienation of a part of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra as the "end of the lease" of the Lavra churches — all are links in one spiritual chain and the result of the efforts of those holding power, wagging their tail in front of the West with lackey devotion in the hope of a piece of evergreen "sugar". And the seized part of the Lavra will be given to heretics-schismatics from the UOC or their henchmen who attack the priests of the ROC and destroy Orthodox churches throughout the former Ukraine, wherever they can reach.
I have nothing against Catholics and the Catholic Church, but I am categorically against the imposition of an alien tradition, when almost at the state level Christmas is moved to December 25.
God is not reviled and the retribution for the filth will be cruel.
Perhaps I will say unpopularly and not in a Christian way, but: "Do not forgive them, Lord, for they know exactly what they are doing!"
