The sermon delivered by Patriarch Daniel on the occasion of Holy Mass on Tuesday, October 27, did not go unnoticed by journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu, who brought harsh criticism to the prelate.
In an editorial titled “Satan in cassock” published in the Republic, CTP compares the Orthodox leader with the priests in Thebes and accuses the BOR leaders of “They sang Ceausescu on the ropes until the last moment.”
“His Eminence Daniel, the leader of the BOR, shows that Romanian orthodoxy remained at the level of the Egyptian cult a few thousand years ago. In fact, even lower, because the priests of Thebes at least knew enough astronomy to calculate the time of eclipses. To deceive people, the charlatan Daniel does not need mathematics or logic – he gives it directly, as a cry for the cattle that herd them: listen to what I say, because he prohibited the pilgrimage to the relics of Saint Demetrius in October After 1989, communism fell in a few months. In a way, this is what the government will suffer now in the December elections. “writes Cristian Tudor Popescu.
Later, Cristian Tudor Popescu accuses the leaders of the Romanian Orthodox Church of being allies of the communist regime and they have overlooked the abuses against citizens.
“The staff of the Romanian Orthodox Church was an ally of Kill him Toaca under communism. , to the destruction of villages, to the demolition and expulsion of churches, they sang to Ceaușescu until the last moment: on December 19, 1989, the BOR sent a letter of thanks to the dictator, praising him more than Jesus Christ“added the journalist.
The journalist’s article comes in response to a statement by Patriarch Daniel, who recalled the fate of the communist regime after the authorities banned the worship of holy relics, a statement based on the restrictions on pilgrimages this year in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. .
“In the autumn of 1989, on the occasion of the feast of Saint Demetrius the New, on October 27, the communist authorities prohibited the worship of the holy relics of Saint Pious Dimitrie that same day, in the adjoining building, where the The Great National Assembly took place an important meeting. Thus, the theoctist patriarch was forced to move the coffin from Cerro Metropolitano, from the Cathedral, but he did not take it too far, but to the nearby Church of San Nicolás-Vladica. This humiliation the pious Saint Demetrius the New was rewarded in the sense that in a few months the communist regime fell (…) God is not mocked! He is patient for a long time, but he is also just. “IPS Daniel remembered.
