From 2017:
"By closing down Churches and monasteries they think they can have political culture and political philosophy without God. By fighting religion they think they are going to create a blessed society. Trying to unroot Christian faith. They did not learn. The best example that persecution fails is our Church and our country [Russia - referencing the past days of Christian persecution of Communism in the USSR].
From today's Liturgy we learn from the Apostle Paul's writings. He says that he is sure, a word rarely used by the apostles. That death nor life, nor angels, nor forces, nor present, nor future, nor heights, nor depths can separate us from the life of God."
I have far more in common with this Bro than with a pink haired girl in Seattle attacking cops, yet our President wants us to fight these people.
