Moscow, May 11, Interfax - After unisexual unions, pedophilia can be legalized in certain countries , head of the Synodal Department for Church, Society and Media Relations Vladimir Legoyda believes.

“About 20-30 years ago they told us that unisexual unions will never be legalized – then it seemed impossible. But this time has come. But there are much more serious dangers – possible legalization of pedophilia,” he said in his interview published on Wednesday at website of the Peterburgsky Dnevnik paper.

“When we point out that such a possibility is not far away in certain countries, they say it will never happen. Let it be!” Legoyda noted.

According to him, notions of a family, limits of acceptable and not acceptable is “what can fundamentally change the world in the prospect.”

 

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.
