ROC making a list of professions incompatible with the priesthood
The patriarch’s press secretary Fr. Alexander Volkov earlier stated that the final decision on the issue of priestly professions will be made by the Council of Bishops, although the relevant document must first be confirmed by the participants of the Inter-Council Presence.
The draft document includes, in particular, the following professions suggested as incompatible: sports, medical activities, acting, stage singing and civil service.
"The topics that will be adopted today will help in the final stage to determine whether some conciliar document about them is necessary or not, and with who should decide on this or that document – the Holy Synod of the Council of Bishops," said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia at the opening of the meeting.
