Russian Orthodox Leader Condemns Gay Marriages, Warns Of Apocalypse

Head of the Russian Orthodox Church warned Western governments on Sunday against legalization of same-sex marriages what he called a sign of approaching end of the world. Patriarch Kirill said during a service at Moscow’s major cathedral that the recent initiatives in a range of countries to legalize same-sex marriages “is a dangerous and apocalyptic symptom” that should not spread over to Russia, according to Russian media reports. While those who “fight the laws imposed by the minority are subject to repressions,” Kirill, who leads the Church known for its conservative views, was quoted as saying during his speech at Kazan Cathedral near Red Square on Sunday.

about as authoratative as a comment from a Muslim Cleric......

I don't think there's any comparison since the Orthodox church comes from the same tradition of apostolic succession as we Catholics do, which means that it's no different than a Catholic bishop saying the same thing. I do find it interesting the proximity between this and Vladimir Putin saying that gays aren't allowed in the Olympics and pro-homosexual expressions in public are forbidden. I find it ironic that the Russians have gained the moral high ground on this issue while we have surrendered to encroaching decadence.

Well societies that have celebrated same sex activity in the past, not just at Sodom, but in Greece and Rome at the time of Christ have been in state of degeneration; rich, self gratifying and idolotrous. The difference today is more like Sodom however, not just content for society to have it, but intent on forcing everyone to approve, like 'get out of our way or we will treate you worse'.
Yes an interesting prophecy from the Russian
