Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia proposed an alternative to abortion. He encouraged women to give up unwanted children to the Church. According to him, the Russian Orthodox Church will help raise and raise to his feet the child, whom the mother will refuse, and will also not be against their meetings in the future. The patriarch said this in a video message to the participants of the Church-wide Congress on Social Service, posted on the ROC's Youtube channel.
“If you cannot raise a child, but you have given birth or are ready to give birth, do not kill the child, give birth and give it to us, the church, and we will do our best to raise and raise your child to its feet. And we will never prevent you as a mother from visiting, feeling oneness with your child. On the contrary, we will do everything to strengthen your family, albeit incomplete, but of value both before God and in relation to our entire Fatherland, ”said the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church.
The patriarch assures that the church will do everything to strengthen the family, albeit incomplete. He believes that even such families are of value before God. It is worth noting that the ROC is currently implementing more than 4.5 thousand church social institutions, projects and initiatives.
