You cannot answer a curse. It makes no rational sense to contradict it

Journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu commented on Digi24 on Friday night about the negative reactions towards him from some representatives of the Orthodox Church, but also from some people in public spaces.

CTP explained that this does not mean that all believers are won, but only those who listen to Patriarch Daniel without thinking. 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 have no way to respond to insults. You cannot respond to a curse. There is no rational sense to contradict it. If someone tells me>, I can contradict them.” Should I tell you that it is an operation difficult given my current state? “asked the reporter.

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 it.>. I commented it in the following way.>. (…) That cry cannot be directed at the people because people will take those words and think. The words and sometimes the Words prevent you from thinking. (…)>. If you take this implication as logic, it turns out that you are a cow, not a believer. I did not say that any believer is a cow. Only those who take this for granted, “explained the journalist.

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

“This man returns to produce an enormity, another phrase to which I got stuck. God is not fooled. Well, let’s not look at the Apostle Paul, let’s look at Jesus Christ, who is God. What did? “This is the essence. Making fun of you. What happened to him there? They put a crown of thorns on his head. They yelled at Caesar in derision.” He was thirsty. He endured them to make them ashamed of what we did to him. Humans, then. Awaken in us this feeling that can save you. Shame is a shameful feeling that can change man, make him better. “” God-Jesus scoffs. Respond to someone? And the Patriarch comes to tell us that God is not fooled, “added Cristian Tudor Popescu.
