Boycotts of the Olympics and the reaction of the Church Bashny.Net

Viviane Reding, European Commissioner for issues of justice, said the refusal to attend the Olympic Games in Sochi this winter.
The reason for refusal Reading became a law prohibiting sexual relations to promote gays and lesbians among Russian children. The commissioner does not intend to be present in Russia to the Russian legislation.
It became aware of the absence of plans for the French president visits Russia, and last week it became clear that the German president also will visit the Sochi games.





The Moscow Patriarchate advised Western politicians to boycott the Olympic Games in Sochi, ostensibly because of harassment of gays in Russia, to address the real problems.
"I wish these gentlemen protested against mass extermination of Christians in the Middle East that do not hear the voices of those European politicians in defense of the Christians who kidnap, kill them, which cut off the head. When the nuns kidnapped by the so-called Syrian opposition, the entire audience keep quiet, it's not interesting, "- said the head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations (DECR) Metropolitan Hilarion.
"I think it's very good that such people will not be present at our sporting events, even if they live in a ghetto, which for themselves are trying to create. It's a pity the millions of people who are held hostage Satanic Antichrist and policy ", - said the Metropolitan. According to him, in Europe today are imposed on such "satanic" value system, and any rapprochement with Europe will "certainly due to the imposition of these standards and our plant." "This is already happening in the neighboring countries, who receive invitations to various associations with the European Union, while they stipulate the adoption of laws to legalize same-sex unions and that sort of thing," - he noted the hierarch. He believes that people who are aware of the "fatal and self-destructive this policy in Europe today is very much, and they, of course, watching with hope for Russia." "Today our country is, in fact, proved to be a defender of conservative values, a healthy conservatism in the most positive sense of the word. It is absolutely necessary against the background of the moral outrage that we see in modern European society ».

I, frankly, close to the position of the Church.
