Moscow, June 20, Interfax – His Holiness, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia, points to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to possible catastrophic consequences of giving up moral norms, especially traditional family values.

“There is no law that can stop people who lost their human face, so preserving morality is condition for preserving peace on our planet,” the Patriarch said on Wednesday during his meeting with Guterres in Moscow.

Speaking about moral crisis, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church said he was concerned with the family crisis.

“Unfortunately, there is such a phenomenon as aggressive secularism, under its influence family relations are destroyed in many countries. The Russian Church spares no effort to back up family values. We are deeply convinced that survival of the human race depends on it,” the Patriarch pointed out.

Since you are here…

…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.

Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.

For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.

If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
