Ukrainain Orthodoxy on the eve of Pan-Orthodox Council. Part III
The history evidences: the Local Churches that were historically associated with earthly empires were uninterested in the canonical establishment of local churches under their jurisdictions, and therefore usually granted autocephaly to churches only under the pressure of historic circumstances. No exception is the Moscow Patriarchate, which has incorporated the Orthodox Church in Ukraine since 1686.

Ukrainian Orthodoxy: path to recovery of Church unity. Part II
Ukrainian Orthodoxy and Ukrainian society suffer from division. The majority of Ukrainian Orthodox believers belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the jurisdiction of the Moscow Patriarchate. The rest of the Orthodox community of Ukraine has chosen a different path of self-proclaimed autocephaly. However, neither the first nor the second path is optimal for the Orthodox Church in Ukraine to date.

Head of Committee: Bill on Sexual Minorities Will Have To Be Passed Anyway
UNIAN reported with reference to the press-service of the party Udar of Vitalii Klychko that the Head of the Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights, National Minorities and Inter-ethnic Relations, a deputy representing that party, Valerii Patskan stated in a commentary to journalists that it would not be possible to conclude the agreement on association with EU if the bill on prevention and combating discrimination is not passed.
“The document is part of the package of European integration bills. It does not contain a single norm or reference pointing to popularization of sexual minorities or granting them a status allowing them to legalize marriages or anything like that. Only the Code of Laws on Labour will clearly stipulate that this category of population should not be discriminated against,” stressed Patskan. The deputy noted that the document had been withdrawn from consideration but it would be necessary to consider it and pass a decision in the nearest future anyway.
At the same time, Mr. Patskan stated that the deputies were prepared to accept constructive notes from representatives of the clergy or other citizens concerned about the document. “I propose to consider the opinion of the protesters and representatives of the Church. And if they have concrete observations, to include them in the bill as amendments. In the Committee on Human Rights, National Minorities and Inter-ethnic Relations, we have studied the bill. If there were any points of criticism, we would not have voted for it. I personally believe that our society is not ready yet for such a norm as granting of a status to the sexual minorities and the bill does not say that,” stressed the deputy.

Ни убавить, ни добавить - все чётко, ясно и правильно. Немного перефразируя Евангелие, можно сказать: Оставьте кесарю (государству) кесарево, а Богу Богово.

Суть не в свободе, а в том, чтоб возлюбить гомофобов так, как они всю историю насиловали и издевались над геями и лесби. Возмездие. Например, всякое говно, считающее себя порядочным семьянином, текущее своими генитальными выделениями и брызгами слюны во все стороны о том, что у него законный брак и дети, считает себя уверенным в обществе только потому, что есть те, кого их общество лжи считает незаконными. Изнасиловали все всех, но гомофобы - это самые тупые, которые продолжают при всеобщем Содоме всех убеждать документами в своей праведности и неприкосновенности, не чувствуя, что происходит на самом деле, в том числе с их анусом. Они так нервничают о проблеме, потому что являются со своими семьями последним зоопарком, стаи и стада их семей в слиянии с животными стадами и стаями. Насилуют их животные, а не люди, за их счастливую законную государственность, сытую жратву и убиение экологии. Использовать или нет страсти, личное дело каждого. Но гомофобы выгребут все грехи мужеложников и малакий за всю историю, как положено. Тем более, что у них нечем перерабатывать их суды по причине своей стадности и тех отбросов, которых наплодили после себя, в которых и умрут навсегда.
