Ukrainian rock singer: The authorities are trying to get involved in the affairs of the church instead of solving problems in the country

The authorities are trying to get involved in the affairs of the church instead of solving numerous problems in the country. This was stated by rock musician Oleg Karamazov on the air of the Pershy Nezalezhny TV channel, which is dedicated to the celebration of the Day of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, MIGnews reports.

According to him, most of our deputies are non-believers. “And this is neither good nor bad. Some of them there may be believers of another confession. Why an unbeliever or a person of another confession should decide the fate and how to live for us, the Orthodox of the country – this is the question,” he said.

The musician stressed that that is why a lot in our country has changed over the past decade, turned upside down.

“Lawlessness is called law. Therefore, I think, of course, and I hope, I know that the leader of our church communicates with the president of the country on this topic, I think that there will still be people and, again, probably, first of all, the leader of the country, who should pay attention to the fact that the deputies are doing something quite different from what we put them for. The country is dying of covid, the country is dying of poverty, people without work, schoolchildren with no tomorrow, our children. This is what we need to think about. what to call our church, they throw at us the topic of interfaith relations. We will figure it out ourselves, people who go to church, which one we go to, what should we call our name. It is certainly not the business of an unbeliever, whom we call a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada, to decide this for us”, – said Karamazov.

Commenting on the holding of thousands of processions of the UOC on the feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy, the musician noted: “I think that those people who walked the streets of our cities today are evidence that our faith is glorious in Ukraine, our faith is Orthodox. or they slip it under our noses that we are in a state of war, and our patriarch lives in the hero-city Moscow – I think that this is not a tragedy either, this is not their business, where our patriarch lives. We welcomed the patriarch who lives in Istanbul with joy. I don’t allow myself to condemn them or think why so. The church has its own history of relationships. It was sometimes very difficult,” the musician added.
