"We are one family, we are one family. We are once connected by faith, fathers and forefathers and their faith," said Patriarch Porphyry at the end of the liturgy on the occasion of St. John's Day
Patriarch Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) Porphyry he said on Monday that "we can have different views on many subjects" and that "it is our responsibility to be truly human, not one-sided, not exclusive."
"Is that something strange?" It is a bouquet, a unique one, in which there are different flowers, herbs of different colors and scents. Each flower individually has its own beauty, but in union with other flowers, in a bouquet, in harmony with others, an incomparably greater beauty is achieved. So, we are one family, we are one family. We are once connected by faith, fathers and forefathers and their faith," said Porphyry.
At the end of the liturgy on the occasion of St. John's Day, he pointed out that "we are one in Christ, one in the Orthodox Church, which has so much beauty and wealth that we can never use up what exists in it", announced the Serbian Orthodox Church.
"It is our responsibility to really be people, not one-sided, not exclusive, not self-confident, not people who have their own mold and anyone who does not fit into that mold is redundant, unnecessary and, God forbid, should be excluded from their of life and eliminate. That's not religion, that's not the Church, that's not the Serbian people," said Porfirije.
He pointed out that "regardless of who we are and what we are and how we are, we are what we are, we are ourselves."
"We are one family, we are one family, we are one nation, above all a nation that is connected by the armor of faith, connected by Christ in one Church," said Porfirius.
Police, masked and tattooed, beat and arrest, then the next day they only legitimize students and citizens, then again beat, arrest and tie the arrested and injured "terrorists" to hospital beds, despite that "Kadinjača did not fall"
The collective frustration of Thompson's right-wing and ultra-right-leaning audience is confusing. Especially since the Croatian nationalists fulfilled all historical plans - from an independent state, through membership in the EU and NATO to the reduction of the number of Serbs to the level of a statistical error
We should not expect enlightenment from regime apologists. But from the oppositional humanistic intelligentsia, we should expect the destruction of the coercion of moralism. Respond to batons in anatomy class as well
Criminals, the corrupt and their spokesmen must be brought before the courts and there must be no rotten compromises. But where will the other dissenters "go"? Enmity towards them, labels and derisive nicknames applied to each member of the group, lack of genuine dialogue, could only lead to the continuation of social discord and sabotage of the country's democratic development.
If we are neutral while students are being imprisoned, girls and boys are being beaten for God's justice, democracy is being suppressed, dissenters are being dehumanized, corruption is continuing that kills and many other evil things are being done - then nothing
Serbia is not ready for fires, storms and floods, but President Aleksandar Vučić is ready to turn everything into propaganda
A policeman and a policewoman were filmed pulling a student's hair in an attempt to extort her. It is a classic example of torture, a gross violation of the law for which they would have to bear the consequences
