Moscow Patriarch: Godless Society ‘Destined to Self-Destruction’
Catholic Culture ^ | 12/23/16

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church cautioned against one-sided commemorations of the centenary of the Russian Revolution.

“It is important to avoid overstating or forgetting the heroism of our people, all those good things that happened in the past years, as well as understating or retouching the troubles and confusion that our motherland went through after 1917,” Patriarch Kirill of Moscow said on December 22, according to an Interfax report.

A lesson of the Revolution is that a “society built on opposing God and his eternal moral law is destined to self-destruction,” he added. “One should remember that today, when attempts are being made in some countries to build people’s life and the system of public relations while marginalizing religion.”

a “society built on opposing God and his eternal moral law is destined to self-destruction”

Now there’s a quote where “words mean something”.

Another good article on the Church in Russia and it’s partriarch is by Leonid Savin at Katehon think tank:

“Supranational institutions such as the WTO, World Bank, IMF, NATO, Bilderberg club and others are called not only Masonic but frankly satanic projects that are created for the destruction of nations and states, and their activities bring Armageddon. Meanwhile, Russia is seen as a country Katekhon (Holding in Greek language) which holds away the coming of the Antichrist.”
