A guy wants to go to a monastery? My advice – only a women's one, – a PCU cleric
PCU “priest” Artemiy Fakhrutdinov stated that a young man choosing a monastery should go exclusively to a women's monastery – that is where “all the beauty of God's creation” is.
Artemiy Fakhrutdinov, a cleric of the Bila Tserkva diocese of the PCU, advised a young man who is considering monasticism to choose only a women's monastery. The corresponding video appeared on his Instagram, but only recently went viral online.
“A guy wants to go to a monastery and doesn't know which one? Only a women's one. Only a women's one, don't think twice. What is there to do in a men's one? Only a women's one. Oh, all the beauty of God's creation is there. And what's in a men's one? Beards – and that's it. No. Women's. Women's, don't think twice. That's my advice to you,” said the PCU priest.
Whether Fakhrutdinov was being serious or whether this was some kind of specific humor on his part, the cleric did not clarify.
He repeated his “guidance” several times, emphasizing that it was his personal advice.
Previously, the UOJ reported that, according to Fakhrutdinov, a church wedding is not necessary.
