Lim Word - The Settlement Agreement. Make a repost

1974 – Metropolitan of Tallinn and Estonian publicly approves the deportation (according to the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR) of the writer, the exposer of the GULAG, Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

In 1975, according to credible independent sources, Ridiger founded the Rodina society, which serves as a cover for the activities of the KGB. The same “Office” contributes to his further successful career.

In 1984, Alexy became a doctor of theology. For some time he was the manager of the affairs of the Moscow Patriarchate. In 1989, the Metropolitan; interestingly, is elected by the people’s deputy of the USSR from the Soviet fund of mercy and health.

After the death of Patriarch Pimen in May 1990, the Local Council (June 7 of the same year) elects Metropolitan Alexy II, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, known to us.

In 1996, with the application of the new Patriarch, taking advantage of the privileges presented by the states, the ROC receives from Germany, and resells, 18 billion cigarettes free of charge, 7% of the legal market of the Russian Federation. Later, as a result of the scandal raised by other “tobacco kings”, Alexy II refuses this temptation.

In 1998, Alexis II awarded A. Solzhenitsyn the Order of Saint Prince Daniel of Moscow II degree.

In 2008, Alexei dies of a heart attack. The legacy is about 300 million rubles. passes to the closest associate of the Patriarch from the mid-1960s, Abbess Philaret (Alexandra Smirnova).

Revenues of the ROC:

1. “Mug” – donations of parishioners, made during and after the service. They are not considered the main source of income, but rather a prize to priests (black cash) for a job well done.

2. Sale of candles – “Candle”, about 65% of all income.

3. “Goods” – everything sold by the temple shop in addition to candles – church wine, icons, books, ornaments.

4. “Trebs” – baptism, funeral service, reading memorial notes, and the like.

In addition, the income of the Russian Orthodox Church includes direct state inflows, large donations from private individuals (often with a thorough criminal past), and also the amounts obtained as a result of the “monetization” of various kinds of benefits.

What wishes for the ROC are available, directly to the author of this book?

First. When I enter any temple of the Russian Orthodox Church, no one pays any attention to me there? Perhaps the reader will now be filled with laughter: “How come, who are you, hmm, author… that someone should pay attention to you?”. I answer: “A man who came to the Christian church.” This is already quite a lot.

…I remember the time of the first mid-nineties. To conduct their activities, foreign pastors rent the Culture Houses, cinemas and Palaces of Sport. I was there. At the entrance, friendly young girls give you the New Testament, say “Hello” and smile. In the hall they give a lecture (or, preaching), which is, first of all, a set of light slogans – and they offer to be baptized. In the first case, the Sacrament takes place in a dedicated room (in effect, any visitor who is there during the performance becomes a Protestant Christian). Option (cinema-concert hall “October”) – you, right in your clothes, go into the inflatable pool, where you are watered with holy water.

All this looks a little naive, childish, of course, but its Grain is also there. At least people are smiling, they are noticed, they are trying to talk to them, and to attract to their side (completely free of charge). The thought arises that, yes; after the action, somewhat reminiscent of profanity, one could indeed attend such a seeing church. How is it in America? On weekends people from all around the town gather in the assembly hall of the temple (without frills), discuss the state of things, with each other, and the pastor, receive advice, and make serious conclusions for the future. The priest, by the way, is an elected one. From the number of parishioners. Simply, you are a good Christian. Beyond a complex hierarchy and, perhaps, corrupt schemes.

I want to be recognized in the temple. Now this is not.

Unless, of course, you are not an important government official, or, trying to gloss over depression, an authoritative donor.

Second wish. So that in the Christian church you can talk. Namely, it is easy to communicate with parishioners, priests, express questions, and listen to valuable advice. Evaluate the activities of the parish priest. Trace the financial flow of the temple. With our own eyes to see how the tracks are executed – and, perhaps, personally, participate in their departure.

To the temple had separate chapels, the choir of chapels, for private prayer and confession.

Third, under the curtain: yes, I would, perhaps, wish, in old age, to move to a monastery or monastery, and so that they take good care of me. Theoretically, this is possible even now (provided that the apartment is donated and the pension is redirected). But, the living conditions behind the church fence are too rigid. More from the words of knowledgeable people than from the media, the author is aware of the rudeness of the monks, some hazing in relation to the novices, and all the like. Beautiful wise old age on this background is hardly possible. In the New Church, let’s suppose that people (even of both sexes and different religions) could simply enjoy, even festive, live together (even with separate furnished rooms – cells) and, only once a day, gather for a common two-hour prayer for the agreement. Hopes for the salvation of their souls, as well as the themes of the multiplication of earthly happiness in their country, lively debates, communication with spiritualized youth – volunteers, in the best and most willingly – gardening – this should be the Church home for the elderly in Russia.
