Skeptical observers see it as part of an overall campaign to boost Patriarch Kirill’s influence in Russian society.

Wisdom from the Church Fathers
| The purpose of the advent of the Saviour, when He gave us His life-giving commandments as purifying remedies in our passionate state, was to cleanse the soul from the damage done by the first transgression and bring it back to its original state. What medicines are for a sick body, that the commandments are for the passionate soul. St. Isaac of Syria |
