GAY TRUTH

The leader of Russia ’s 150 million Orthodox Christians says homosexual “marriage” is unnatural and contrary to the conscience of every human being, which is why so many people resist its normalization for the same reason that people resisted fascism and apartheid. In an interview at Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, His All-Holiness Kirill was asked about same-sex “marriage.” The Patriarch, who is well known for opposing sodomy, referred to legalized gay unions as false, “so-called” marriages. He then flatly stated that they are a threat to family values because homosexuality is a “complete break with the moral nature of man.” The Russian government and its people have been under severe criticism from leaders in the West for standing against the normalization of homosexuality. “When laws are detached from morality, they cease being laws people can accept,” Kirill explained.   The Christian leader then said something immediately pounced upon by Western pro-gay mainstream

Churches that have deemed homosexuality morally acceptable have rejected Christianity and are preparing their followers to accept the Anti-Christ , according to one of the leading figures in the Russian Orthodox Church . His statement came as the Russian Orthodox Church announced that it is ending "formal contacts" with the United Protestant Church of France and the Church of Scotland over those churches' abandonment of traditional Christian sexual morality. In its statement, the church said ecumenical dialogue was pointless after France's United Protestant Church last month voted to allow pastors to officiate at same-sex "marriages" and the Church of Scotland approved ordaining clergy who are in same-sex civil unions. "The Russian Orthodox Church holds the firm position based on Holy Scriptures and has repeatedly declared that [homosexual 'marriage' is] inadmissible for moral teaching," the statement reads. Churches that offer to

MOSCOW , July 22, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – In his Sunday sermon this weekend in Kazan Cathedral in Moscow , Patriarch Kirill , Primate, of the Russian Orthodox Church , warned against the extraordinary rise in many western countries of the homosexualist movement. Kirill said that the trend of legalizing “gay marriage” is “a very dangerous sign of the apocalypse.” It “means people are choosing a path of self-destruction,” he said. He said he supports the recently passed  national ban  on homosexualist propaganda that has prohibited the Gay Pride festivities that have become a prominent feature of national life elsewhere.  Patriarch Kirill “Lately, we have enormous temptations, when a number of countries opting for sin is approved and justified by the law, and those who, acting in good conscience, are struggling with such laws imposed by a minority, being repressed,” Kirill said.  He added that everything must be done to prevent the approval of sin “on the spaces of Holy

Russian MPs have passed a law introducing stiff fines and jail terms for anyone who promotes homosexual ''propaganda'' to minors, a measure critics fear will be used to justify the repression of gays amid rising homophobia. The bill, designed to discourage open discussion of homosexuality in public places or in media accessible by children, is one of a wave of new laws that align the government more closely with the teachings of the Russian Orthodox Church . Russia 's parliament, the Duma , also passed a blasphemy bill that criminalises the insulting of religion and stiffens the penalty to up to three years in prison if the insults are made inside a church, a response to the performance of a ''punk prayer'' against Vladimir Putin in a Moscow Orthodox Cathedral last year by members of the group Pussy Riot . Two members of Pussy Riot, the female punk band, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina , are serving two years in prison after being con

MOSCOW, March 11, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - The Russian Orthodox Church , through its Department for External Church Relations, has issued a  statement  saying the same-sex "marriage" legislation in France and the UK is a "revolution in the European societies ’ understanding of marriage" that will lead to the eventual collapse of those societies. The document notes that the "Russian Orthodox Church preserves and defends the primary Christian understanding of marriage and family, sanctifies marital relations in the church Sacrament and asserts the importance of marriage for the wellbeing and development of society as a whole."  It adds, "In the countries which have embarked on the path of a radical revision of traditional family ethics, this process has resulted in a demographic crisis which is growing from year to year." "The revision of fundamental norms of family law on which the human community has been built for ce

TORONTO, Ontario , May 15, 2012  - Leaders of Ontario’s 250,000 Orthodox Christians took aim at bullying in the province’s schools on Monday – starting with the government’s proposed Bill 13, the Accepting School Act. A clergy delegation appeared as witnesses before the Standing Committee on Social Policy at Queen’s Park, charging that the government’s anti-bullying legislation virtually ignores most bullying victims in schools, while at the same time targeting traditional religious groups for censure. “ Statistics Canada data on bullying and violence indicates that bullying against religious groups is more than twice as common as bullying against self-identified gays and lesbians,” noted Father Geoffrey Korz, Orthodox Dean of Ontario and chief presented to the Queen’s Park committee. He was joined by Father William Makarenko, former Chancellor of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada , and supported by Father John Koulouras of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Toronto, a
