Priest of Belarusian Church compares RF war in Ukraine with a crusade
Archpriest Feodor Povny, a priest of the Belarusian Orthodox Church, compared the war in Ukraine to a crusade. He said this in an interview with the Zviazda newspaper.
“Everywhere they ask a question: how can Christians fight Christians? But remember the crusade against Orthodox Byzantium. Now look: what are they doing with Orthodox churches in Ukraine? In the country, which has given birth to hundreds of saints, dozens of miraculous icons of the Mother of God, churches are being desecrated, priests are being tortured and killed,” the priest said.
Archpriest Feodor Povny also noted that despite the fact that Christ calls everyone to peace, the Bible has a place for both the Apocalypse and the Old Testament with its constant wars, which, as the priest emphasized, “are sent as the wrath of God.”
As the UOJ reported, Archpriest Andrei Tkachev called Russia's war in Ukraine a religious one and said that Muslims would help Russia win it.
