The Life in Italy website reports today (July 20, 2010) that Patriarch Kirill of Russia yesterday said he backed Pope Benedict XVI on a range of "pressing" moral issues, siding with the pope on warding off the kind of "secular" outlook that had impinged on Protestant thinking.
Kirill said the pope's stance on many moral issues "coincided totally with that of the Russian Orthodox Church."
He said Protestants' allowing "sinful elements from secular society to enter their interior world, justifying them," was "a very dangerous phenomenon."
Kirill's thoughts were published in the July 19, 2010 edition of the Vatican daily, l'Osservatore Romano, which said he was "referring, in particular, to women priests and homosexuality."
