CTP, on the reactions to his speech: “I have no way of responding to insults. If someone says to me: “I put you in me, can I contradict it?” What he says about the Patriarch

Asked about the criticism he has received lately, CTP corrected the moderator saying he received swear words, not criticism.

Criticism is based on facts, arguments. I cannot respond to insults. You cannot answer a curse. It makes no rational sense to contradict it. If someone tells me “I’m putting you into me”, can I contradict them? Should I tell you that it is a difficult operation considering my current condition? “Asked the journalist.

Starting from the conclusion that “thinking is not a sin”, the journalist recalled the statement of the patriarch Daniel, who made an association between the ban on the pilgrimage to relics and the fall of communism in 1989.

“What the Patriarch said. He said so.” Because he banned the pilgrimage to relics in 1989, communism fell within a few months. “I commented this as follows.” To mislead the people, the quack Daniel He does not need mathematics, he gives it directly as a cry, like to herd cattle. “(…) That cry cannot be directed at people because people will take those words and think. People connect with words and sometimes , the words prevent you from thinking. (…) “Forbidden to kiss relics, it turns out that communism has fallen.” If you take this implication for granted, it turns out that you are a cow, not a believer. I did not say that every believer is a cow Only those who take this for granted, “explained the journalist.

In addition, the journalist recalled an “enormity” of Patriarch Daniel, when five years ago, after the Colectiv club fire, he explained that the priests pray for the victims only in the Church.

This man returns to produce an enormity, another phrase in which I got caught. God does not allow himself to be mocked. Well, let’s not look at the apostle Paul, let’s look at Jesus Christ, who is God. What did he do? They made fun of him. That is the essence. Be ridiculed. What happened to him there? They put a crown of thorns on his head. They yelled at Caesar. They gave him vinegar to drink when he was thirsty. We put up with them to make them ashamed of what we did to them. We humans, then. To awaken in us this feeling that can save you. Shame is a feeling of shame that can change a person, make him better. They mock God-Jesus. Respond to someone? And the Patriarch comes to tell us that God does not allow himself to be mocked, ”added Cristian Tudor Popescu.
