A new global paganism has appeared in the world, said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Rus’. RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
“Today, a new paganism is developing on a global scale, based on the worship of various human derivatives – the worship of progress, science, technology,” the patriarch said.
The clergyman noted that Russia and the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) hinder the new paganism on a global scale.
At the same time, according to him, the Russian Federation has an absolute right to disagree with the ideas promoted by the new global paganism. He recalled that during the period of the Soviet Union, atheism was the official state position. “And we know how it all ended,” he said.
Earlier, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ declared atheists all those who participate in the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
On Sunday night, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus’ traditionally held a festive divine service at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the service.
