Morality boils down to sexuality by what right do these people teach us to live? Reverend Andrey Korduchkin - on the hypocrisy of the elite imposing traditional values The main hero of the November 4th celebrations was Patriarch Kirill, who called on Putin to strengthen "unity based on strong faith and respect for traditions". Those people who blatantly violate Christian commandments and moral norms demand to respect traditional family values, said priest Andrey Korduchkin, who left the Russian Federation after the outbreak of the war, in an interview with MO. Here are his main points: The Russian regime bases its legitimacy not only on the results of the official elections, but also on the ideas it itself generates. The Russian Orthodox Church plays an important role here - Patriarch Kirill says that traditional values are not only something good, but something bequeathed to man by God. Therefore, the regime that supposedly protects these values is sacrosanct. fruit. No one can clearly explain what traditional values are. The meaning can change depending on what they want to say and what they want to convince. Often everything comes down to a person's sex life, that is, morality is reduced to sexuality. The "traditional" ideology of the regime sees nothing wrong with the fact that the economy has become "detonomics" - human life and death are now objects of purchase and sale. Dying in the war is the easiest and fastest way to close the mortgage and solve the family's financial problems. People who teach us these values do not follow them themselves. Let us remember the Orthodox oligarch Konstantin Malofaev, who married a priest's wife with 9 children [we are talking about the former children's ombudsman Maria Lavoba-Baluba]. It is clear that every person can make decisions about his private life, but by what right do these people teach us to live?
