Bishop Feofan against same-sex marriage.

Some answers bishop surprised even journalists. For example, his opinion on the tragedy, which occurred in Chelyabinsk soldier Andrei Sychev.

- At the meeting of the Public Chamber, this issue was not discussed - explained Bishop. - Assessment should give law enforcement agencies. Not the news that there is bullying. But with the way the whole situation has evolved, I fundamentally disagree. Again antiarmeyskaya hysteria come off again - all in the military badly. After that, any mother would do everything possible to her son in the army not to go. I will speak in the Public Chamber, that we must not allow hysteria. Do not send the army of those ugly creatures! Our society - this is where the root of problems.

Hotline - for global issues

Public Chamber should protect the interests of the people to call their credibility. In this regard, we have learned from the bishop Theophanes, calling citizens to telephone hotline, which recently appeared in Stavropol?

- Yes, but mostly with issues of private character - Feofan said. - We would like the issues have been consolidated, and are useful for all residents of the province.

Selyan can not be produced in the city

- We need to raise the issue of selyanine - Feofan firm said. - Today, I see abandoned farm fields, the mud coming peasant grandmothers, past the war, which now bear the vyazanku wood. This is wrong, and it also concerns the Public Chamber. We need to examine the legislation. We must make sure that the roots are maintained, in order not to lose touch with pupovinoy.
