Rainbow NewsSame Sex Marriages Declared Global Challenge by the Russian Orthodox Church
3 Nov. 2013
"The Holy Bible knows no alternative kinds of marriage and the cohabitation of people of the same sex considers a sin", from the high international tribune said one of the high ranking Russian Orthodox Church'es officials.
While Korean gay activists were protesting in front of the Russian diplomatic mission in Seoul against the gay hate policy of the Russian authorities, Archbishop Hilarion of Volokolamsk, the ROC's "foreign secretary", was making a speech during the tenth Assembly of the World Council of Churches in Busan. The text of that speech is published on the ROC's official Internet site.
The Archbishop declared "same-sex marriages" together with "radical Islam" "a global challenge for the Christian world". He said "the Church, being against any forms of discrimination, nevertheless must defend the traditional interpretation of a marriage as the union of a man and a woman which was naturally aimed at childbirth and family upbringing".
To prove his interpretation of a marriage Hilarion referred himself to the Old and the New Testaments. He regretted that some Christian Churches (in some states of the USA, Latin America, the New Zealand, France, England and Wales) were indulged in "mainstream secular ideology".
For reference: The ROC is hard in its opposition to same-sex marriages' legalization world-wide. The Russian Patriarch Cyrill called Shaoling monks for a fight against "same-sex marriages" during his visit to China in Spring 2013. During his Christmas speech Cyrill named "homosexuality a danger for Russia". On Easter he put on a par gay marriages and pedophilia. In summer he hinted that "same-sex unions hasten the Apocalypse".
