Bishop Grigorije of Dusseldorf and Germany said he had a plan to bring together as many young people as possible “who are willing to sacrifice for Serbia to create a system in which nothing depends on one man.”
He told Newsmax Adria in the “Review of the Day” that there is no man who can be a savior, and that a system needs to be created “so that we don’t go back to looking for a savior every time.”
“The system can be created by young people I trust and talk to, and that is my plan. My plan is to bring together as many young people as possible who are educated, honest, smart, brave and who want to come to Serbia if they’re not there yet. “And if they’re going to make sacrifices, let’s create a legal system first. I don’t want anything to depend on one man, “said Grigorije.
Concluding that a large number of people think that he would be a savior, he replied that he knows “that it is an interesting question for people,” but that there is no man who can be a savior.
“It is necessary to create a system so that we do not go back to looking for a savior every time,” Bishop Grigorije said, reports Nova.rs.
“If I can do something for my people and if people wait for it, I want to gather 30, if possible 300 people, between 30 and 60, who are willing to sacrifice for Serbia,” he said.
He cited, as he himself puts it, “a wonderful example these days among some young ministers who have returned to Montenegro from Japan, the United States, Europe and who are simply sacrificing for their homeland.”
“I mean, I think the way we can wait and that is what can inform us of what we are now, and what we can evaluate as something that is not good.”
When asked if that meant that he should await his active participation in Serbian politics and where he would find those 30 young people, Grigorije said that he had already found them, but that he would not present his plan because it would be frivolous.
Commenting in the tabloids that the opposition offered him to be president or patriarch and whatever he decided, he said that “neither the president nor the patriarch will be elected by the tabloids, but by the serious Serbian people.
Speaking about the election of a new patriarch and if it is true that the state has a crucial role in his election, Grigorije says that it is incorrect, because the state does not elect a patriarch, he is elected by bishops “who come from their dioceses and must bring the voice of his people. ” feels exactly what people want. “
When asked if Serbia was now, as before, trying to influence which of the bishops would be the new patriarch, Grigorije, as Nova.rs reports, said that it was quite obvious that the state would not look idly at who would be a the head of one of the most influential institutions in town.
“I do not think it is so terrible that the State has its will and its wishes, but I am convinced that it will be a single influence that will have effects and counter effects, depending on when it tries to influence,” he said.
On the conclusion that the media in Serbia are already calculating and mentioning several bishops and that, in their opinion, he is a man from the ranks of the Church who could agree with the State on the one hand, and agree According to the bishops for the other and that he would be closer to the throne of the church, he said that he would be “the man he believes is the best.”
“It must be the man who preserves the unity of the church, and the patriarch is a symbol of that unity, and in that sense I think all bishops will think,” said the bishop.
“It is important that we do not bid by name,” Grigorije said.
