ROC priest: The future belongs to Muslims

Fr Svyatoslav Shevchenko, a ROC priest from Blagoveshchensk, Amur Region, journalist and blogger, published a post about contemporaries on his Telegram channel on August 1, 2022.

"Back from a trip. Do you know what I realised from watching people? The future belongs to religious people. Well, who do not cheat on their spouses, do not have bad habits, bring up their children in traditional values," the priest wrote.

Fr Svyatoslav notes, "Those who are not thinking about eternal life and are influenced by popular, mass tendencies have no future.”

"Those who drink and smoke, get tattoos, piercing, have promiscuous sexual relations will be begotten sooner or later. Their line will be terminated. Because of diseases, lifestyle, because they are convinced or latent childfree, or homosexuals. The Scripture warns of this," comments priest Svyatoslav Shevchenko.

"I would even say that the future belongs to Muslims. In addition, they encourage having many children," Fr Sviatoslav resumed.

As reported, the Istanbul Convention will come into force in Ukraine on 1 November 2022.
