Patriarch Kirill said of the clergy of the Russian Orthodox Church, which disagreed with his orders, the priests can go into retirement, according to
“If anyone still doubts (in that) what do I need to do all what the Patriarch teaches — leave all doubt! And strictly do what I command! Because I am not of his wisdom saying, and the wisdom of the whole episcopate of the Russian Orthodox Church! Another way for our Church today! If you don’t retire!” — the Patriarch said after a service in the Dormition Cathedral of Novorossiysk.
He stressed the need to involve the Church youth, but this must be done not by order, but by the sincere desire in the first place of the clergy.
“If the majority of Orthodox youth will take place in infancy and childhood, through our parishes, this will be good citizens of Russia — great family build and nurture the next generation in the spirit and power that brought us the Lord”, — said the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Earlier Patriarch Kirill said about the information war against the Russian Orthodox Church.
