Very interesting, thank you. In my Catholic church, the war in Ukraine is prayed over but not often discussed. The conflict in the Middle East is, however. Suffice it to say that I have a very strong opinion in one direction and my priest is adamant in the opposite direction. I don't begrudge him his views, but I do think his presumption about his own rightness is dragging down the level of worship and creating an atmosphere of intimidation that has made it very difficult for me to stay at my parish. I think there is a great deal of wisdom in not bringing politics into church, since membership in the Body of Christ is first and foremost about personal salvation, not any sort of temporal policy. If we are to truly accept that for now, we see as through a glass darkly, then we must be careful to not become too enamored of our own assumed virtue. That being said, we are also called to action dictated by conscience, so no, it's not easy! We are pushed and pulled every which way in the world by these things and my dearest wish is that my church could once again become a sanctuary where mind and soul take rest.

I feel so bad reading these comments in their attempts of slandering you because you DARE provide a more nuanced and balanced viewpoint of this issue.

Merry Christmas, Christ has risen.

Russian Christianity includes massive rocket and drone attacks on its neighbouring country Ukraine on Christmas Day as part of its illegal war of aggression. Shame on so-called RU Christians.

In the west we have 2 Christmases, secular on the 25th and religious 14 days later. Happy Christmas to those celebrating either. ☦️🙏🎄✨🎁

С рождеством 🎄🎅🏻🙏🏻

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Igor. Thanks for publishing your excellent articles on Russian Christianinty.

🎄Merry Christmas 🎄 All honor and glory to our King, King Jesus Christ of Nazareth💐

Eating too much with family and friends seems to be a Christmas tradition all around the world. 😄

Welcome our Russian Christian friends. We wish for and pray for peace for our two countries. We don't want this War, but you don't either.. . sad

Great video as always!

Thank you I had often wondered how the Faith arrived in Russia.

Oh no it is not good one day you will go to hell 😭😭

Jesus predicted Islam with the parable of the old woman who hid the leaven of truth about these the climate change end times & cause in three loaves. 72 virgins Islam, 72 evil men Judaism, 72 good men Christianity. There are 72 years in one year of Great Year precession of the equinoxes & 1,000 years for the Earth's orbits to cross the magnetic ecliptic the cause of these the birthing pains of this the end of the geological ERA. "The new moon tides are a pale shadow of Noah's SE to NW tidal wave tsunamis to come." Jesus By an EM EV & leave the EM lights on to reduce Earth's increasing magnetosphere to mitigate climate disasters & create heaven on Earth fulfilling God's Plan.

how can I contact you brother?

It all began first in Kievan Rus, what is now Ukraine. Russia always tries to steal everything from Ukraine. Vodka was invented in Poland, not Russia.

Very interesting. I learned something today.

Russian Christianity is an oxymoron! Yes Moscow adopted a twisted version of Orthodoxy but it has mainly sold itself to the Tsars when the Tsar in the 15th century offered the Patriarchy estates in Moscow. Literally the Patriarchy sold his freedom of independence to the Tsar for those prized estates, the Patriarch in essence swore his allegiance to support the Tsar despite the issues, this was written down as an agreement between the Tsars and Patriarchs. This is the betrayal of the Russian Orthodox Religion since it exalted Tsar about God! Even today the Russian Patriarch supports an evil and unprovoked war against Ukraine which no true Christian Church would ever support. Most people don’t go to church in Russia and the few that go to the Orthodox Church don’t hear the gospel of Jesus Christ because the liturgy is in an ancient Old Slavonic dialect that people don’t understand.

Is Father Matei Vulcanescu right here? - th-cam.com/video/QO6ZuKN3hrM/w-d-xo.html

PATRIARCH KIRILL, STAY AWAY FROM FANCY DANCING FRANCIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I DO NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THIS, BUT I KNOW THAT DOWN THROUGH HISTORY, THERE HAVE BEEN PRIESTS, MONKS, ETC., WHO HAVE TAKEN UP ARMS AND GONE INTO BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY GUESS IS THAT THOSE SEEN HERE ARE EITHER JUST HAVING SOME FUN, OR MAKING A SYMBOLIC GESTURE, OR BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT IT OCCURS TO ME TO ADD, I DON'T BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE OUT THERE LIKE THAT IN THEIR VESTMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KEEP THIS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Orthodox Church IS the church. Glory be to God!!!

How did any Abrahamic religion(Judaism, Christianity, Islam) came into existence? Short answer:🗡️ Long answer:⚔️

The women in the congregation have their heads covered with veils like the Bible commands. Pay attention, western ladies

The Millenium Monument located in Velekiy Novgorod shown at 2.45 tells the whole story of the conversion of the Keivan Rus. Before the collapse of the USSR I had read an old book written in Soviet times called The Russians and their Church and in it author stated that godless communism was just a short phase in history and the Church would survive. I watched on TV and saw that on the day after the Whitehouse was attached out on streets were priests with icons and banners loudly proclaiming the Church is still here and we're in business!

When it invaded Ukraine? A crusade of Russian Orthodox against Ukrainian Orthodox! I never could tell the difference myself.

Thanks for this, it really explains a lot.

Did Russia ever become Christian?

Religion and state should remain separate

Lord look out over you’re children and protect us 🙏🏽☦️

Russia is Christian? Really? Then why doesn't the leader of the Russian orthodox church tell Putin the leader of Russia to stop his war. That's killing so many innocent people!!!

The question is more: how did russia become fascist?

Had Irish monks an influence on the christianisation of the Rus? They did reach Kiev.

Unlike Putin, Boris Nemtsov was truly a practicing Orthodox Christian, although his mother was Jewish

Anybody ever wondered why Greece (Orthodox Christian-majority country) has a much lower percentage of aborted pregnancies and among the lowest suicide rates in Europe, for instance? 🤔

Very brave and intelligent people to organize the way they did. Thanks for the video

Who’s who?

3:22 that's not a "russian paradox" it's just how immigrants are. Just like all the millions of turkish in Europe saying Turkey is the greatest country on the planet but will never go back to Turkey. The same with most chinese. Same with the brazillians in Portugal etc etc etc.

Christianity is already done preached to all the earth according to st paul himself

U pray for kingdom of God on earth ur supossed to rulers and priest of God and cannot discuss politics?😂😂what a joke those who say religion and politics separation are not christian or are decieved by communists and liberalist propoganda

It is the sign of a church and people living under repression that you can’t openly discuss the morality of a major war. Very strange from the outside.

the fsb goes into churches too? can you pray the eulogy of little green man or ork too?

Only Melchisedek and Christ were both king and priest. So, let us keep a clear line between religion and politics. Being a Christian however, we have to be willing to answer any question concerning our faith. This includes questions about moral issues like justification for the invasion of another country. We should be able to express our opinion on this, without actively taking part in political actions that support or hinder our country's political leaders. But let us give our opinion only in answer to questions, let us not advertise it or preach it with the intention of having a political influence.

No politics i church
