A priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church went through the city center of Odessa, blessing the street with Holy Water following a LGBT pride parade, reports Odessa Media.
Fr. Oleg Mokryak, the head of the Odessa Diocese Missionary Department, went along Seaside Boulevard with parishioners dousing the road, people, and monuments with Holy Water.

He explained as he went that he was cleansing the boulevard, after the sexual deviancy parade had defiled the street.
The “Odessa Pride 2018” parade was part of a larger three-day event, UNIAN reports. Supporters of traditional Ukrainian family values also protested during the parade, holding signs reading “All together for the family” and flags with icons of Christ.

Pride Parades in Odessa had been successfully banned in the past, such as in 2015, though this year’s went off without a hitch.

>>79e878 Why? LGBT has it's own believes and this priest different, but also. So if you must offend anyone, offend no one or everyone.

From all victims of stalinism who died in the gulags the orthodox christians justify afterwards to have been put there back then. Its a pity that the soviets did not manage to eliminate this bullshit once and for all.

>>415303 >a dude splashing water BLASPHEMY! It's not just a dude splashing water, it's a holy man of god who cleanse the streets from the traces of satan with blessed water! You hurt the orthodox christians feelings and need to be jailed and cleansed by holy fire!
Srsly. those christ-orthodox dudes are mentally of the same kind as islamists, jewish orthodox and nazists.

>>415328 well, whatever anon was really triggered or not its still makes sense if we look at the situstion from priest point of view. Christianity didnt really liked homo from the very start and let me tell you... slavic priests are all about following traditions and make sure people follow them even if it means big problems in life or even death.. 1/2

So yeah, for him it was importmant to "clean" the area, would he do it if he didnt hated them? Tho it is his right to do whatever he please as long as he dont hurt anyone, with this hate he is an inspirational for the other people and who knows what "others" can do, willing to go futher with that hate... beating, killing and other nasty things. This whole hate is just unlogical and unhuman. 2/2

>>415382 Seems to me that tribalism is perfectly human.
As is veneration for that matter, if it weren't some divinity it'd be some philosopher or demogogue or the state itself, & I'm sure we all remember all these things (including Marx) being used to justify all manner of crimes as well.

The orthodox church does some pretty messed up stuff, but I see nithing wrong with waht the priest was doing as described in this article. First, its a harmless ceremonial act that makes sense from a religious pov . second, its a non-violent way of protesting something that he is against. Not saying I agree with him, but I respect the manner in which he chose to express his beliefs.

>>415389 How can you be against homosexuality? It's a natural phenomenon! Just give this kind of guys power and you will see what they think about peaceful protests. Also think about the "pussy riot" action: Not saying I agree with them, but they performed something peacefully and were arested for "hurting religious feelings". Smells like double-standard.

He can be against what he wants. He could be against orange carrots for all I care. Also, never said that pussy rioters should've been arrested. They shouldnt have. But people should stop getting upset over people having different opinions and expressing them. And yeah, that guy would probably suck if he had power. So would a lot of people.

>>415382 splashing water on the street is hatred now. i guess we should sue the firefighters and the kids in summertime.

>>415519 the urge of violence is also a natural phenomenon. how could you be against it. also i was so happy when "pussy riot" got pushed. none of you seem to realize the insane risks of degeneracy.

It's ok for post-soviet region. That's region is very xenophobic and conservative. Like black Africa. I'm living in Russia. I know what I'm writing.

>>e7fa01 Pathetic is you. You don't know how much money orthodoxic prists have? They got yachts, millions of hectares. And they spending people's money for just "washing streets in holy water".

>>a25354 It's not harmless. It's like saying that AIDS is not exist. It fueling the process of dehumanisation of gay people. In Russia and Ukraine it's problem. Because of dehumanisation people killing gays. Or harming them.

To which I respect the peacefulness of his demonstration. It was audacious, yes. But much less provocative and violent than is typical for the region.
