KP priest okeys weapons, drugs and prostitution to be made legal

“Yes, I approve of everything being permitted. Guns, prostitution, marijuana – what else can you fancy?”, wrote on his Facebook page cleric of the Kiev Patriarchate Alexander Dediukhin.

“The point is that Jesus Christ endowed everybody with freedom. Each of us takes as much of this freedom as they can bear,” argues the KP representative. “We try to narrow freedom all the time, both ours and somebody else’s. At first we drive ourselves into frames, and then attempt to squeeze others in the same Procrustean bed.”

Alexander Dediukhin even agrees to retain the UOC in Ukraine. But he stipulates in which capacity: “small and persecuted”.

At the same time he added this is “personal position not the official standpoint of the Church.”
