Ukraine moves Christmas date to 25 December in snub to Russia
- Moscow's patriarchy gave its blessing to Putin’s invasion and claimed that Russian soldiers will be cleansed of sin.
- The date change is part of a national process of dismantling the symbols of Russia, the Soviet Union and communism.

I had an uncle named Demetrei.
Raised catholic, lived as atheist then became orthodox.
And he actually was named after a Greek goddess.

Given these results, I predict that #Greek people are bent on sending the #Orthodox Byzantine witches and the #Neonazi back to the #EUparliament next year, during the EU elections.
Enjoy!

Also, 2 #Orthodox parties (therefore #Putin favorites) seem to be in too.
Both are openly anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant, anti-rights in general.
One of these parties had ZERO promotion from media but was actively supported by priests, who encouraged their flock to vote for them. So much for who are the real influencers in a country moving back to the Middle Ages.

Intriguing that Kate #Forbes thinks her views are "fairly #orthodox mainstream #Christian teaching". I think I'd describe myself as a "fairly orthodox mainstream Christian", but the #fundamentalist, proof texting approach to reading the #Bible isn't what I'd can mainstream or orthodox
