Voice of Ukraine

From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (541st day): There is a very interesting article in New Voice (Ukrainian media) that I wish my English speaking friends have a chance to read. I will share a link in the first comment. If you open it in Google Chrome you can right-click and choose Translate to English from drop down menu.

Here is the translation of the first few paragraphs of the article:

“Extinguished lighthouse”
We live in a world where global evil has more spiritual leaders, voices and faces than good. The Moscow Patriarchate turned into the Patriarchate of War . The Catholic Church ( in the person of the Pope) sympathizes with the victims of the war, but is afraid to say who started the war. Like the evangelical churches in Europe. While American evangelicals are stuck in their own ” culture wars “…

The army of darkness, spearheaded by Russian rapists, murderers and marauders, has a global ” train” of spiritual leaders around the world whose job it is to draw the line between good and evil, and who are not doing that job, at least in context this war The church, which should have a natural instinct for good and evil, somehow lost this instinct. What can we say about ordinary people.

Coincidentally or not (rather not), Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine coincided in time with this global spiritual crisis. Humanity returned from the two-year covid quarantine tired and a little wild. Many churches stand empty. Moral axioms and God’s commandments became even less of a factor than before. Many people would rather believe in a globalist conspiracy than in the line between good and evil. The European Union, this product of the history of Christian Europe, this first attempt in the history of mankind to live according to Christ’s commandments of forgiveness (historical) and humility (political), gave the concept of ” Christian values” to the constant use of such figures as Putin and Orbán.”

Read an English translation of the article. It’s worth your time!
