Moscow, April 19, Interfax - Head of the Synodal Department for External
Church Relations Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk draws a parallel
between the USSR and present-day Europe.
Metropolitan Hilarion states that: " faith and the Church
are revived in Russia, new churches are being built, monasteries and
theological schools are open, while “religiosity is decreasing in the
West, churches are closed, some church buildings are just sold.”
“Secularism and atheism have in fact become a new ideology of the Western Europe....
He also believes that religious revival in Europe will go through “being drunk with freedom, with permissiveness and people will understand what it leads to and start coming back to their Christian roots.”
