hockey at the national team level is probably over for our team at this uh. let me remind you that the russian team will not be able to perform at the world championships in helsinki, so when next time the russian team will gather in what line-up? incomprehensible moreover, i remind you that the head coach of the main russian national team here in st. petersburg was sergei zubov, who is actually in normal life in normal life, but manages just the youth team of our country, but in any case, ah, thanks to the decision of the ice hockey federation, russia to host the tournament. at least some competitive experience. eh, our guys, but actually the main russian team won the tournament, st. petersburg. thanks to alexander abramov about great hockey. well, then our broadcast will continue the program church and the world. hello ekaterina gracheva is the church

and peace in russia 24 every weekend we talk with the metropolitan of volokolamsk and larion, chairman of the department for external church relations of the moscow patriarchate, discussing the main topics of the past seven days. vladyka hello hello ekaterina hello dear brothers and sisters. well, here is the current news, which is now being discussed by all the media, regarding possible sanctions against the head of the russian orthodox church, metropolitan patriarch. kirill of moscow all rus', the european union offers impose sanctions on him white house press secretary jumpsaki. it doesn’t rule out that sanctions are a possibility from the united states of america , the lithuanian foreign ministry already spoke out in favor of such a possibility, but i remind you that the verkhovna rada already has resolutions 73, 32. ah, according to this resolution, sanctions were imposed not only against the patriarch, but also against you. how can you comment on the fact that these restrictions of the west have already reached, uh, non-secular persons of the

russian federation well, firstly, the verkhovna rada - this is not a bill. and this is just a proposal that was made as far as i was concerned, i was deprived of the right to enter ukraine a long time ago, and as for the most holy patriarch, then, i think that no sanctions will prevent him from continuing his activities, which is aimed at consolidating the russian society, which is aimed at the pastoral feeding of the entire multi-million pastor of the russian orthodox church and which is aimed at the speedy achievement of peace between the fraternal slavic peoples. need understand, of course, that in the west. the statement of the patriarch is considered through the prism of the propaganda that is being carried out in the media and, uh, to give an adequate assessment of these

statements. uh, western politicians can't therefore. uh, if they impose sanctions, it is, of course, their right to influence this in no way, but these sanctions will not say anything about the life of the russian orthodox church. well, look, there is a question from the tv viewer vladimir from mozhaisk dear metropolitan larion. please tell me about sanctions have already affected you personally. for my part, i can only concretize this question of vladimir as i see it, if the patriarch can, being in russia, perform his immediate functions, then you, as the head of the department for external church relations of a church type, need to communicate directly with the head of local churches. you must leave. you must communicate. you are a church diplomat. how are you now? you carry out your functions, firstly, not all countries are closed. there are many countries where you can freely travel and this opportunity, if necessary, we

use. secondly, uh, the opportunities for guests from local orthodox churches, as well as from non-orthodox churches and christian associations to come to russia are not closed, and thirdly, there are many ways of remote communication, which are used by the patriarch and other heads of churches. that is, now, uh, technical capabilities allow u to communicate directly at the same time, without leaving your country. here's another big news on she's from italy uh, publication of a career, del acera, pope francis gave an interview, speaking about his communication with the patriarch of moscow all russia kirill, the pope commented on the results of the conversation that took place on march 12. i spoke with kirill for 40 minutes on zoom for the first 20 minutes, he read all kinds justification for a special operation. i

listened and said, brother. i don't understand anything about it, we are shepherds of the same holy people of god and cannot use the language of politics, but only the language of jesus regarding the meeting with the patriarch. the pope said we were to meet in jerusalem on june 14th. it would be our second personality not connected by events in any way. but now he agrees too. better stop. this may be a dubious signal. how do you comment? this is an interview with pope francis and do you agree, as the head of the department for external church relations, that now any meeting is even hmm virtual via videoconference between the roman and the patriarch. could be perceived as a signal of dubious why, but i will also comment on this with a piece of paper in my hand question, because it is very delicate. well, i must say that this is a conversation between the pope and the patriarch. yes, it took place on march 16th. so it's been a month and a half. we have this conversation

recorded. and after it happened. we didn't release the details of this conversation because it wasn't supposed to be some kind of public conversation, but after dad introduced it like this, it's a conversation that took place. we decided to publish the details of this conversation, the patriarch told the pope something like the following western media get some information about what is happening in ukraine i will tell you something that you may not know next he spoke about the background of the current conflict about the events in donbas in 2014. he especially dwelled on the events in odessa, which led to mass discontent of the russian-speaking population and provoked in

turn. uh events in the donbass then he said about the expansion of nato to the east, that nato, uh, approached st. petersburg by several minutes of flight time. and if ukraine joined nato, then e would approach moscow at a distance of several minutes e-e flying time. this, if we are talking, let's say about some kind of nuclear or other warheads, but finally, he said about the most important thing, that his flock is on both sides of the conflict, that his heart aches for what is happening and and here is about in this spirit, the patriarch set out his vision of the events taking place, to which the pope replied. eh, the way that's correct enough presented at that time. uh, the vatican news service, as a witness in that conversation. i

remember well that the atmosphere was very friendly, that there was no disagreement between the pope and the patriarch, or any dissatisfaction on either side. it was a fraternal conversation. although it is possible that the parties remained at, uh, their views. well, pope francis e, let's interview a cheese quarry, says that he called on the patriarch to speak not in the language of politicians, but in the language of jesus ah. is it possible in the current acute circumstances uh, in the context of special operations taking place in ukraine, and discussing these events in the language of jesus, but you know, uh, the pastor always perceives ongoing events from a christian point of view through the prism of the holy gospel uh always differs from those assessments given

by politicians, because, uh, scenarios of political events and the scenario. e military action. they are written without the participation of the church, what the church can do, first of all, in order to help people. and so we see what a huge work it has launched under the leadership of the patriarch. the russian orthodox church to help the suffering, first of all, to help those, but the refugees who are now. we see the history of russia, and there are already more than a million of them, and what a huge work is being done by internally displaced persons, the ukrainian orthodox church on the territory of ukraine, and we see how the local orthodox church, in particular in poland and romania, is responding to the misfortune that befell those people who turned out to be refugees and how they help refugees. here, in fact, is the

work that the church can and should do and is doing in the conditions of e-political confrontation, and directly influence the willingness of negotiations or directly influence the course of hostilities. the church, of course, can not other news. freshly, the upper house of the parliament of belarus approved amendments that expand e, the list of application of the death penalty. now she threatens. here according to these amendments for attempted to terrorism attempted murder of a foreigner. or a public figure well, we must remind, perhaps, our viewers. who does not know, belarus is by far the only country in europe where the death penalty has not been abolished. and all the events that take place in belarus and at the legislative level are interesting, because belarus is a union state with us. how do you comment? here is a given initiative, uh, the upper

house of parliament amendments that have already been approved. we have the official position of the russian orthodox church regarding the death penalty. this position is expressed in an official document, which was adopted in 2000. it is called the foundations of the social concept of the russian orthodox church and the church. it can only remind here of the responsibility that the judiciary and the executive bodies bear for the life of every person. why uh the death penalty, uh dangerous at least, because there is always the possibility of miscarriage of justice. and in the history of our vast state, which included both russia and ukraine and belarus. in the history of the soviet union, there was a period when the death penalty was carried out en masse, and then uh, the state had to, uh, rehabilitate those people who were unjustly executed, but the fact is that this rehabilitation cannot help

a person who has been deprived of his life. at least one of these factors should make legislators think that a miscarriage of justice may occur. as a result, a person will be unjustly condemned. he will be deprived of his life, and then it will turn out that this mistake can no longer be corrected. well, more about foreign news and the united states of america, a whole wave of rallies was held with the participation of stars of public figures of the united states of america who are protesting against the repeal of the 1973 amendment. deciding when women in the states got the right to choose whether they can have an abortion or not? in that the publication of the politician became aware that there was an internal vote of the supreme court, according to which it would abolish this right to abortion, which has been in force in the territory of the united states of america for the past 50 years. and if such a decision nevertheless comes into force and

the authorities of the united states do not succumb to this protest movement. as you comment on this truly revolution in the united states, uh, the orthodox church welcomes any legislative initiative aimed at saving human life. therefore, if such a decision is made, of course, we will welcome it for our part, but we must understand that the following speech does not at all mean that abortion will be canceled throughout the country in all states of america, it is about how it was before 76 of the year. oh, ah-ah those or other legislative measures related council will be accepted at the state level at the level of each particular state. that is, it will cease, uh, to enter into federal jurisdiction, and the basis will enter into the jurisdiction of each particular

state. and that means that in about half of the states of those that are the most conservative of those that vote republican, abortion will, er, be more or less banned, while in the other part of the states it will remain. this is what i think is most likely to happen. uh, this is a leak that was made. it was not made by chance, because democrats wanted to stir up the public in order to prevent the passage of this law, and democrats in america have traditionally advocated abortion. and here, in particular, mr. biden, who positions himself as a catholic. which belongs to the democratic party, he advocates abortion, despite the fact that the catholic church is opposed. vladyka may 9, we are celebrating the seventy-seventh anniversary of the victory in the great patriotic war this year, more than a hundred countries will celebrate, and

parades will be held in our country, 28 cities will receive, solemn traditional, which usually takes place in the kremlin this year, canceled. and how will the church celebrate this 77th anniversary, what does this day mean for the church? did something change for the church in the twenty-second year, the church from the very first day of the great patriotic war was with its people and the first who turned to the people on the radio was e , metropolitan, sergius of moscow and kolomna , he did this even before stalin turned to the people, and we must remember that in the twenties and thirties the church was aghanima, it was almost completely destroyed in moscow near e. and instead of the guardian metropolitan sergius, there was no patriarchal nicholas or court, he lived in a different city altogether, but nevertheless, as

soon as the war began. he found a way to come on the radio and record this radio message and then during the entire time of the great patriotic war. the church was very active in helping the front , and with the money raised by the church, a tank column named after dmitry donskoy was created by the clergy. many have been on the front lines helped the refugees. and wherever the church was admitted, it was present and, of course, together with all the people, the church celebrated victory day and continues to celebrate it. it's been 77 years now. what does this celebration mean for the church. first of all, of course, the commemoration of the dead, because the church never. he does not forget at what price it was achieved, this is a great victory, and therefore, on

may 9, panikhidas are performed in the temple of their russian orthodox church, because in its prayer life it is the church that observes this principle that was then formulated. nobody is forgotten, nothing is forgotten. well, now vladyka nikolai shchelkovo forwarded such a question to the questions of the viewers. i am very afraid of death know that all of us sooner or later. this awaits and the christian must accept death with humility. i try to live according to the commandments of god go to church, well the fear of death. it does not leave me, as they are not afraid to die . uh, different ways, uh, to overcome the fear of death. usually those people who meet death face to face are not afraid of death, for example, doctors who perform surgery people who ah often see dying, for example , clergy, and this is not because

we get used to death, but because we understand that death is the natural end of human life. this is not some kind of tragic accident - it is inevitable, but we perceive how christians death as a way to a better life on the icon of assumption, we see how, uh, the most holy theotokos has already died, has just died , lies on her bed next to her is jesus christ who takes on the hands and her soul, depicted as a baby in swaddling clothes by valery stavropol vladyka sent a question like this hello, and in our society the topic is often raised that all religious organizations should start paying taxes, how do you personally feel about this and what is the position of our church on this issue, in fact , a religious organization pays a variety of taxes, and i don't see why the legislation needs to be changed in this regard, there are a lot of myths. around

the church about the fact that the church is exempt from taxes about the fact that the church does not pay any taxes all of us we pay taxes. this also applies to religious organizations and other organizations. here is an example organization. which i head the department for external church relations of the moscow patriarchate. we have several dozen employees. we pay them salaries, and we pay all the uh, taxes that any other employer would. e, pays e-e in relation to his employees in total more than 30%. natalia asks this question. i know that you need to take communion on an empty stomach if a person has to take medicine, well, obviously we are talking about taking medicines in the morning on an empty stomach, then how to be before communion is impossible. i believe that the rules of communion. on an empty stomach does not apply to medicines, we are talking about not uh eating and not drinking before communion,

again, if we are talking about pills that need to be washed down, then an exception can also be made here. i think that first of all everything depends here on the recommendation of doctors. and, of course, in this case, you need to consult with the confessor to tell the real situation, so that, on the one hand, and not damage your health, but on the other side not to make unnecessary concessions from chekhov asks why a clergyman has the right to marry only once, firstly, because christianity recognizes monogamy as the ideal of married life. and a second or third marriage is allowed for the laity only as an exception in a situation where, for example, one of the spouses has died or when due to adultery. uh, the marriage broke up and then the entry,

the second marriage is allowed to the innocent party, as for the clergyman, then, uh, a clergyman should be an example for his pastor. and therefore, if he, uh, entered into marriage, then this can only be the only marriage, and if something happened, if his wife died, or if the marriage broke up as a result of adultery, then the clergyman is not allowed to enter into a second marriage precisely , because he should be an example for his pasta. i think that in addition to the moral and economic reason, there is also a reason of a pastoral nature, if, for example, a priest serving in a parish will have the opportunity to marry one of his parishioners, then imagine for a moment yours, then maybe his church ministry will turn. so women will

come up to him, girls will come up for confession, he will, uh, listen to confession with his ears, and with his mind he will ask himself, will this girl come up? e for the role of my wife? i think this consideration was one of the reasons why, at a very early stage, uh, the church ruled out the possibility for clergymen to marry, after ordination, that is, future a clergyman can marry, but after he has become a priest, after he has become a deacon. he can't get married . thank you very much. vladyka for this conversation. thank you ekaterina i would like to end this transmission with the words of jesus christ from the gospel but you love your enemies and do good and on loan. let's not expect anything and you will have a great reward and you will be sons of the most high, for he is kind to the ungrateful and

evil.
