It is difficult to say how the staff of the House of God felt when on November 1st a group of unusual believers walked into the church in Vračar, claiming that they wanted to pay their respects to the people who had died under the canopy of the Novi Sad Railway Station, but we know how Christianity felt: they were baptized with both hands, with disbelief wondering what the hell (if we may say so) these very people, as far from Christianity as possible, are looking for in that place? The astonishment was all the greater because the group was made up of people who, by the nature of their functions - that is, the highest state representatives - would have to be with the citizens at the scene of the tragedy, but for some reason (which we all know), they chose, well, the church. Then that group, with candles in their hands and in front of the cameras, tried their best to act out sadness and compassion.
So what was that unusual composition looking for in the church? Besides running away from their beloved people, they needed attention. They asked for that in the church, in front of the cameras, imitating contrition. Of course, Christianity does not need to know any of that, unlike the staff of the house of God. He, the staff, even has a duty to know that. Of course, it's not that throughout history Christianity hasn't seen the darkest characters in its houses around the world, but there is still hope that it hasn't gotten used to that circumstance. So much attention should be focused on the staff, on the privileged interpreters of God's will, the characters who closed the doors of the church to the people on that 1st of November (the people were, admittedly, in Novi Sad), who despised the body of God on earth in order to let into the house of God a heathen group with bad intentions and an un-Christian attitude. Because the word (Logos) and work in Christianity are the same, and in the case of Aleksandar Vučić, Ana Brnabić, Ivica Dacić (let's stop there), no connection was observed between what they say and what they do. Even if, admittedly rarely, a Christian word is stolen from them, it is not accompanied by a part. On the contrary. Does anyone remember any Christian gesture in these people? Mercy? Treats? Sympathy? Caring for others (not just yourself)? Sacrifices for the community? And now they have come, no less and no more, than to a church empty of believers, just as they go to stadiums empty of fans, to streets empty of people, to media empty of meaning.
Of course, Vučić is a Machiavellian, he uses both religion and the church only when he needs it, and the problem is less with him and more with the clergy who agree to the abuse of Christianity. Even when a prominent political figure declares himself an atheist - although there are few modern politicians, even in republics, who dare to wear their atheism publicly (it is always useful to have believers on your side) - it is quite normal for him to respect the religious choice, especially since freedom of religion is guaranteed in free countries. That is why the attention is focused on the church staff: if there is nothing Christian in the demeanor and speech of Aleksandar Vučić and his entourage, why do the priests even allow that team to come to the house of God for painting and applied acting? Just let them not answer that the doors of the church are open to all believers because, as we have seen, only those chosen could enter the church, with tickets, just as only those who, whether they liked football or not, liked the president of all Serbian citizens, could enter the Dubočice stadium in Leskovac.
The citizen Prvoslav Perić, with the church name of Porfirije, dressed up again, which had already become his habit. He managed, as usual, to say nothing, but in that nothing clearly shows a benevolent attitude towards the government, such and such, anti-Christian and anti-civilization, and one cannot but draw a very rough conclusion that the high Christian priest and the first man of the Serbian Orthodox Church is actually turning his back on Christianity and Christian principles, in order to act at the expense or in favor of a non-Christian-minded government. God will know why he does it. Isn't he afraid that he will be fired, like those high school teachers (it is not heard that he, as a Christian oriented towards justice, reacted), or that Vučić's police will put him in prison (as a mighty innocent people, and it is not recorded that all those people were imprisoned for God's justice - he supported it), or, let's say, that the state will stop funding the SPC, a rich church? However, the Christian Perić will have to answer some of these not-so-pleasant questions at some point. The sooner the better.
