Maidan is the action of the Holy Spirit, believes Kiev Patriarchate priest

The apostles didn’t need "Molotov cocktails", but for the rest it is a manifestation of the Holy Spirit. This was written on his Facebook page the priest of the Kiev Patriarchate from Poltava Alexander Dediukhin, arguing with the author of the article "Is the Maidan Possible in Paradise?" archpriest Igor Riabko.

"The Holy Spirit gave every apostle the power to go out to the Maidan in Jerusalem and preach. Yes, they did not really need Molotov cocktails because there was enough fire over each of them, and it was enough.

And yes, the Maidan is not needed in Paradise. After all, the Maidan is the action of the Holy Spirit in an imperfect world," said the representative of the UOC-KP.

The post refers to an article by the cleric of the Zaporozhie diocese of the UOC, archpriest Igor Riabko "Is the Maidan possible in Paradise?" published by the UOJ.
