The clergy and the monks are often asked “Who should we vote for?”

This question even if it shows a very laudable humility, shows also a certain lack of spiritual knowledge. The church is not apolitic, however is a-partisan. The church doesn’t get involved in politics, the politics of a party. The church does the global politics, the politics of Christ. The scope of the Church is to cure and to make us God-like and then we will have the wisdom to vote for the right people, to obey, correct and to help him when it is needed.

The right way is the spiritual rising of the flock and not a “magic” choice, hoping that we will be better while keeping our sins and passions.

Are we making good deeds to show our repentance and praying to God to give us good leaders?

    \o// Election of Office bearers are turning out to be a contest between Church members ! This is basically stem from the mindset of state-politics and allegiance to a particular political party’s view about social welfare. How is it possible for a Social Worker to be any different from the activities outside the Church ? Thus voting for rival candidates become imperative for a normal peace loving church goer …..

      Church is human-divine cooperation through history for deification. The real, charismatic Church is the holder of the way in which this cooperation takes place. In other words, the real Church is the right path to deification.

      Well, here are some categories of people: the ones who know this and experience this by following this the commandments which is the path to cure our soul. There are other ones who does not know this and totally disregard this, thing which is the basis for their constant emptiness. Finally there is a special category who know somewhat the extraordinary power of Church, but the do not want to follow the commandments because of self-love, mainly. These people usually try to exploit the fame and the spiritual power of Church in their interests. Do not judge them – you never know whom you have in front of you – but try to avoid them.

      We cannot reject the science of medicine because we have some „specialists” in this science which does not correspond to expectations.
