19 July 2007Moldavian president calls Christ the first communist
Kishinev, July 19, Interfax - Moldavian President Vladimir Voronin has discovered some parallels between Christianity and communism.
‘There are many things in common between the communist ideology and the Christian doctrine. And in our, communist, opinion, Jesus Christ was the first communist’, Voronin said in the presence of Moldavian bishops and priests during his recent visit to St. Nicholas’s monastery at the Kondritsa village.
In today’s Moldavia, he stressed, the Communist Party is the only party to help the Orthodox Church and today’s communists in general ‘are not those who persecuted the Church but quite different communists’.
‘Nowhere in the Old or New Testament you will find anything bad said about communists’ the Moldavian president, who has also been chairman of the Republican Party of Communists since 1994.
These words, Kishinev’s Flux newspaper reports, produced a deathly silence in the congregation and only Metropolitan Vladimir of Kishinev and Moldavia smiled.
Then Voronin suggested that the congregation ‘make a mathematical equation’ and compared the Moldavian Communist Party to the Moldavian Metropolia and the opposition organizations, such as the Our Moldova alliance, Christian Democratic People’s Party and Liberal Party to the Bessarabian Metropolia of the Romanian Patriarchate.
‘If they want to stay in the Moldavian Metropolia, priests have no choice but to vote for the communists’, the head of the state asserted.
One of the priests addressed himself to the president with these words: ‘You are our father. We will do as you say. We are a boat and you are our helmsman’.
In response Voronin remarked: ‘It is Metropolitan Vladimir who is our helmsman, because he served in the Navy’.
