Russian Church Leader Blames War On Pride Parades

The Moscow Times reports:

The head of Russia’s Orthodox Church appeared to blame liberal Western values — drawing particular attention to gay pride parades — for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in his Sunday sermon. Kirill said the war is about “which side of God humanity will be on” in the divide between supporters of gay pride events — or the Western governments that allow them — and their opponents in Russian-backed eastern Ukraine.

“Pride parades are designed to demonstrate that sin is one variation of human behavior. That’s why in order to join the club of those countries, you have to have a gay pride parade,” he said in his Forgiveness Sunday sermon. The Russian church leader characterized gay pride parades as a “loyalty test” to Western governments, which Ukraine’s breakaway republics have “fundamentally rejected.”

Krill first appeared on JMG in 2014 when he called for Russia to criminalize homosexuality. In 2016, he declared that people join ISIS in order to stop pride parades.

We heard from him again in 2017 when he sprinkled holy water on government computers in order to stop ransomware attacks.

Also that year, he declared same-sex marriage to be just like Nazism. He last appeared here when he said that smartphones will usher in the antichrist.
