In an interview to RT America's Ed Schultz, Patriarch Kiril of Russia stressed out that world peace must happen instead of war. He calls on Russia and the United States to “everything possible” to improve relations. He is right about this one. This is what a religious leader must do, call and pray for world peace than to pretend to be a politician.
“A large-scale war should be averted at all costs,” he said, adding that it should be the “number one priority for the Americans, the Russians, and many other people with a sensible perspective on what is happening.”
The Patriarch stressed that most people in the US are “Christians who share the same values and belong to the same global Christian family” as Russians, urging the two nations to use this cultural affinity “to build bridges, rather than deepen the divide” between the two countries.
Unlike mainstream media that will never mention this to portray Russia as the bad guy, RT is sending a message to the world. It's not propaganda to say this but a sign that in this world, people will mention the truth and what is right.
Patriarch Kirill and Pope Francis met in Havana, Cuba last week, marking the first time in that the heads of the Orthodox and Catholic Churches have sat at the same table since the two confessions split about 1,000 years ago. They signed a joint declaration afterwards, calling on world leaders to prevent Christians in the Middle East from “being completely exterminated” and to aid the refugees from those regions.
With Russians returning to the Orthodox Church and surviving every economic slowdown, it's within arm's length that they will tell the world that we mean peace not war. Patriarch Kiril did a better job to make sure it's not just the Russians who will hear his heart but also the world.
