❗️ Estonia has proposed to recognise the Russian Orthodox Church as a terrorist organisation

This idea was proposed by Interior Minister Lauri Läänemets. He explained his idea that the Russian Orthodox Church is subordinate to Vladimir Putin, and also compared the Moscow Patriarchate with terrorists.

The Russian Orthodox Church described Läänemets' proposal as "returning to the dark days of religious wars, Bartholomew's Night and witch-hunting".

Fr. Joseph Gleason on RT International, discussing religious persecution in Ukraine

“Nothing harms a Christian, especially a young Christian, more than bad company. For just as communication with the good is a school in which, without books, a person learns Christian philosophy, that is, an honest and holy life, so communication with the evil is the cause of extreme corruption of a person, even if he were by nature good or well-educated; but when he communicates with the corrupt, it is difficult and almost impossible for him not to become corrupt.”
— St. Tikhon of Zadonsk

This is why we should not be enrolling children into public school.

I LOVED the twelve passion Gospel service yesterday!

Even more than a lot of other services, it’s a service 90% centered around Holy Scripture — three straight hours of chanting and hearing the word of God.

Christ is Risen!
