The Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Kirill during the sermon in the Church of the prophet Elijah in Moscow said that information about his wealth not “even a drop of truth.” He urged people not to believe this information.
According to him, “the temptation” to believe in the wealth of the leaders of the Church are exposed not only to the laity. So, one Bishop once asked the head of the Russian Orthodox Church to help personal money, because its state is $6 billion.
This nonsense has reached the consciousness of the Bishop, and he believed in it, — transfers “Interfax”.
He said that such information shall be distributed to the representatives of the Church “began to speak God’s truth.” The Patriarch is sure that criticism of the Russian Orthodox Church will stop as soon as its Ministers will begin to speak things pleasant “powers that be”.
When you read the most terrible things about the Patriarch, the bishops, the priests, remember that there is even a shred of truth is usually not the case, but it is directed to those who proclaim the truth of God, to compromise so that people stopped to listen and to trust. <…> the fact that the Church now on hand are not <…> and there is evidence that the Church, as always in a low voice, but strengthened by the power of the divine, committed today to the people the word, full of divine truth — he stressed.
Kirill expressed hope that it would be “to the end of the century.”
