Orthodox Church enthrones leader

Post by Niall_İsxaqov »

The Russian Orthodox Church has enthroned its new leader at a ceremony in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow.
Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad became the 16th leader of the Church, succeeding Patriarch Alexiy II, who died in December.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin were among the thousands of people who attended the ceremony.

I am sure Communist dictators like Lenin and Stalin will be turning and churning in their graves right about now...

Never heard of any recent event in which a head of nation (Not one but two here, both President and PM) attended the ordination of a Christian Cleric. Well.. all this happens while riots are breakout in Russia due to unemployment and economic slowdown.
Enough of (ZA)Nu Labor. BNP is the only real alternative.
