The war in Ukraine is also against the gay lobby and it is therefore right to fight it.

After appeals to the Moscow patriarch Kirill, both from the Catholic and the Ukrainian Orthodox world, arrived from various quarters, to pronounce on the invasion of the country, in a sermon on the Sunday of Forgiveness, which in Russia opens Lent, at the end of the Divine Liturgy in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow, the religious authority closely linked with Vladimir Putin has declared itself in favor of war also because it fights sinful models of life contrary to Christian tradition.

For him the "outbreak of hostilities" came after "for eight years there have been attempts to destroy what exists in the Donbass", "where there is a fundamental rejection of the so-called values that are offered today by those who claim world power. ". And according to Kirill "today there is a test for loyalty to this government, a kind of transition to that 'happy' world, the world of excessive consumption, the world of visible 'freedom'. Do you know what this test is? simple and at the same time terrible: it's a gay parade ".

Then he urged resistance against the "values" promoted by the gay lobby: "If humanity recognizes that sin is not a violation of God's law - he observed -, if humanity agrees that sin is one of the options for human behavior, then human civilization will end there. " And gay parades "are designed to show that sin is one of the variations of human behavior." "This is why to enter the club of those countries it is necessary to organize a Gay Pride parade - he continued -. And we know how people resist these requests and how this resistance is repressed by force. This means that it is a matter of imposing with force a sin condemned by the law of God ". According to Kirill, "what is happening today in international relations, therefore, has not only a political significance": "It is about human salvation, where humanity will end up".

"Everything I say has not only a theoretical meaning and not only a spiritual meaning. Today there is a real war around this topic", he remarked. "We have entered into a struggle that does not have a physical, but a metaphysical meaning - he therefore insisted on the need to fight -. I know how, unfortunately, the Orthodox, the believers, choosing the path of least resistance in this war, do not reflect on everything we think about today, but humbly follow the path that the established powers show them ".

"Today our brothers in Donbass, the Orthodox, are undoubtedly suffering, and we can only be with them, especially in prayer", concluded Kirill. At the same time, "we must pray for peace to come as soon as possible, for the blood of our brothers and sisters to stop, for the Lord to incline his mercy to the suffering land of Donbass, which has carried this sad sign for eight years, generated by human sin and hatred ".
