Alex Slyusarenko - Priest and provocateurs

current situation of the Russian Orthodox Church can hardly be called successful: in addition to the remains to this day a low percentage of the congregation of the public in recent years the structure of the church from the outside trying to shake the numerous scandals, intrigue, accusations.But as it turned, at the church can be not only external enemy, but and internal.One of the clearest examples of the destructive representative within the church itself became a priest Alexei Slyusarenko.

employee in the glorious city of Lugansk with a rich past schismatic priest could not help but soak "freedom-loving" ideas.At the same time, it takes a significant position in the ranks of the Russian Orthodox Church: a representative RATSIRS in Luhansk region and a teacher of the local theological university.So what was remembered this priest, what attracted the attention?

And he remembered primarily aptly Lugansk University professor of Olga Borisova "attempt" to do "nasty on the head scientist."As it turned out, in free from educational and other matters while the priest Alexey Slyusarenko loves to read different books and write reviews on them, absolutely not thinking - and whether the peer-reviewed literature is included in the competence of his knowledge.And judging by the reviews of Professor Olga Borisova - not always:

«However, as soon as I see that about.Alexis Slyusarenko placed my, how he thinks, is "very critical" feedback on my benefits online www.ukrsekta.info as a spark of hope extinguished.It became clear on.Alex pushes me into sectarian priori.And on what grounds, may I ask, a review (no matter what he is content on this below) to tutorials placed among the critical articles on the activities of sects?I have no sects did not create and do not intend to.I teach, not preach.I - a recognized scientist, and you, my opponent, who is, to take the right to mold me your subjective labels? »

A few words should be said about such a beloved father Alexei www.ukrsekta.info site.According to many of Journalists founder and head of of this site Noskov V. dishonoureth the the title of of the journalist, by publishing on its website rudely the converted and are arrayed in a provocative the shape of materials, do not deserving of attention, as well the very Noskova his opponents are calling to deprive the title of of the journalist and to forbid him with any publicist activities.And it is on site, and the accuser rogue priest Alexey Slyusarenko prefer to place their "reviews".

But back to Professor Olga.In its response, the priest called "the ass MOSCOW RESPONSE TO HIS" arrival "at my textbook on the history of Christianity in Ukraine" in detail and consistently describes what's father Alex was wrong in its response to the work of a scientist Olga.It turns out that no one proposal priest professor can not agree, or at least be regarded as a constructive criticism signified:

«So review (actually most that neither is a lampoon) about.Alexis called "Funny story of Christianity in Ukraine by Professor Olga Borisova."Draws attention already, this is the "funny story ...".Strange.What's so amusing to see in my tutorials my opponent?The very content of his "withdrawal" is far from gigikany hahakany and that, in principle, ought to be, if the text of my allowance would contain anything funny.But no jokes pribautochek-text comment on.Alexy up close and not.The priest tries to carry on with doctors, professors debate on a number of theological and historical problems.Everything is normal, then what "fun"?But if, for him, for a moment - a priest, this subject of the dispute is a 'fun', I have immediately raised questions to his professional competence and confusion - to those who appointed him to be a "representative of the Russian Association of Centers for Study of Religions and Sects in Luhanskthe field. "

Incompetence priest, who has taken to argue with a recognized PhD is not the slightest doubt.There is another question - what is the purpose of pursuing the father of Alex Slyusarenko, popisyvaya "smasher", which makes a lot of unfounded claims to the various writers?On this question, we can also respond respected Olga:

«And yet: what is" Funny "my benefits?The fact that it is still - the only in Ukraine?It - ABNORMALLY: Christianity in Ukraine, more than 1,000 years, and the proper level of benefits for students in his stories NO.In addition to my own.Opponent wanted the name of his opus, as well as its placement on the site sects, I just "drop".But it's not so easy to do.I am very disgusted, really, and I am able to protect their works. "

In addition, article Father Alexis just full of appeals to the scientific community.In particular, enough known and authoritative Ukrainian Uzhgorod Theological Academy, diplomas and academic degrees that are recognized worldwide, a priest accused of undeserved award of these same powers, equating all Uzhgorod theology to plagiarism, simultaneously accusing oversight aiding this state of affairs of the UOC-MP,spreading autocephalous latent ideas.It is obvious that for a group of hidden Autocephalists, which is the mouthpiece of the priest Alexey Slyusarenko, there is only their Lugansk University.VI Dahl, a teacher of the department of applied philosophy and theology, which he is.In the opinion of father's of Alexei Ukrainian the national theological science, representative of which he and is a, a much more authoritative and the main thing more objectively rather than The Moscow Patriarchate the UOC, in the department whose be in many spiritual schools.

If so father Alex was not strong in the criticism of the scientific literature, it may be he is an eminent theologian?Unfortunately, here we find ourselves "the mark".Attitudes raskoloveda distinguished by extreme liberalism, and sometimes a complete lack of knowledge in the area of ​​theology, which he says - which is not surprising, based on the foregoing.

One of the essential aspects of the life of every Orthodox Christian is the post.Fasting is an apostolic establishment and showed us an example of the post itself in the Lord Jesus Christ for 40 days did not partake of the desert.According to the teaching Orthodox Church the post of trehsostaven: prayer of, spiritual action and physical abstinence.If at least one component of a post is rejected, then the whole post is defiled.Here he writes about the celebration of the new year (which is a holiday so - change the calendar - is difficult to understand, especially for the Orthodox Christian) Alex Slyusarenko:

«Before the revolution in the beginning was celebrated the feast of Christmas, then New Year, as it happens around the worldAfter the introduction of the new calendar has turned this discrepancy.Therefore, constantly face the problem of the New Year.If the family all the Orthodox, the New Year was celebrated lean table.And if in the family there are people who do not fast, it is recommended that the Orthodox share with them the meal, which is prepared, for the sake of peace in the family. "

Thus, in addition, that the priest celebrating the fact endorses a "change of the calendar on the wall of" because he is a blessing to break the post!There are many examples where relief is allowed in the post for the frail, sick or pregnant.But in order to cancel the post for the celebration of the new year - such a shame Russian Orthodox Church is not yet known.

Another interesting sight of the priest, we find in his call not to celebrate March 8 - Women's Day - in the days of Lent:

«The origin of the festival is important, but the history of March 8 is closely related to the godless rebellion that has been in our country in 1917. The founders of this holiday Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg, were conscious and militant atheist to Orthodox man is all very tempting, "- said father Alexei - to celebrate March 6 - is one possible way out."

Here.Despite the apparent contradiction of the idea of ​​March 8 Orthodox worldview, we are invited still celebrate this "holiday" a few days earlier.In order, therefore, could properly celebrate the date godless rebellion.But even more surprising that the representative RATSIRS and theologian has not the slightest idea of ​​the article by Professor of the Moscow Theological Academy Deacon Andrey Kuraev on March 8, in which he speaks directly not only on the direct relation of this day to the triumph of militant atheism, but also holdsa detailed study of the history of the celebration and finds out that March 8 has its roots in Jewish history as the day of remembrance of the massacre of the enemies of the Jews and deliverance from the past so imminent death.How

day commemorates the victory of atheism in Russia and, concurrently, the Jewish national holiday treat Orthodoxy can only guess.Apparently, in the minds of the priest Alexei Slyusarenko such concepts are combined with ease.

The last thing I would like to mention in the "theology" of the priest - is his opinion of piety in the church:

«Nobody forbids women to wear women's trousers.Personally, I'm one of the pants out of the temple, and do not expel the comments do not do "- said Alexey Slyusarenko during an online conference on the site Cxid.info.

immediately catches the eye is the phrase "women's pants."What is the dress like this - it is not clear, especially when you consider that in Russia, women always wore dresses, at worst skirts and trousers appeared in the Soviet era, in a period of intense emancipation and women's aspirations for equality.In addition, the apostle Paul, we read that a man is unworthy to wear women's clothing, as well as women - men.If we can not influence the social norms of dress, you should at least respect the apostolic establishment in this regard.Today we were allowed to come to women in men's trousers, and tomorrow let the men go to the temple to pay?This practice is not allowed for the preservation of church discipline and purity.

From all this begs one very simple conclusion.The priest Alexey Slyusarenko is engaged in scientific questions outside of it the competence of, at the same time tries to to expose doctors of sciences is nothing not smyslyaschie in the framework of of their same specialization.Father Alexei shows clear gaps in the knowledge of theology and education, with a raskolovedom and member RATSIRS and promotes their errors through the media.Who are you, Alex Slyusarenko?The actions of a priest can be seen as an obvious divisive focus, commitment to the separation of church hidden avtokefalizm.This priest is sowing discord in the ranks of the Russian Orthodox Church, which only benefit the many divisive organizations already committed daily attacks on Christianity.Instruct your erring child of God, the priest Alexei Slyusarenko!
