In relations between East and West, everyone is interested in preserving peace, said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia in an exclusive interview with the Russia 1 TV channel. War with formidable and destructive nuclear weapons today could mean the end of human history, noted the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The Russian Orthodox Church stands only for peace, but “there can be no real peace without justice,” he continued. And this is a challenge for everyone, but especially for Western civilization.
The opinion of some politicians, especially in the West, who “believe that today Russia can be defeated by force, forced, coerced,” Patriarch Kirill considers a “short-sighted position” and is sometimes surprised by it.
All these statements, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church noted, “by the grace of God, are not translated into any practical action.”
“Let’s, guys, live together,” the Patriarch called.
In the modern world, according to Patriarch Kirill, there is “a number of beliefs and views that are considered unacceptable for society.”
“I have a great fear that at some point, both religious views and the models of behavior arising from these religious views may also be unacceptable,” he noted in exclusive Christmas interview TV channel “Russia 1” Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia.
