Metropolitan Amphilochius of Montenegro: will the Ukrianian Ministry of Culture veto me too? (VIDEO)
In particular, Metropolitan of Lugansk and Alchevsk Mitrophan was inciriminated laying of the stone for the monument to Saint Prince Alexander Nevsky.
«I was building a temple of John Vladimir, a Serbian tsar-martyr. The upper temple is consecrated in his honour. The lower temple is consecrated in the honour of Alexander Nevsky. Are they going to prohibit me too?!» claimed Metropolitan Amphilochius.
«Prince Alexander is a pan-Orthodox Saint. He was Russian by origin, but he is a man of God, truly a man of God. Namely he uttered a famous phrase: «God is in truth rather than in strength!» Well, can this person work as a role model for everybody? If we reject him, it means that we should worship force?», said the hierarch.
«God is in truth rather than in strength! Then officials of the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine must be told I was guilty before His Eminence Mitrophan: except the church of Alexander Nevsky, I constructed another one after St. Sergius of Radonezh», he added.
In the statement of the Ministry of Culture it is said that Saint Alexander nevsky «heroes Russian invaders and symbolises wicked aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and occupation of the part of its territories.»
