Any church which involves to support a political force violates its own status, acting President Mihai Ghimpu has told MOLDPRES.<\/p>\n

Ghimpu said that it is premature for the parliament to take a decision on the subject that bothers the Metropolitan See of Moldova. He stressed that any referendum starts with the collection of signatures and the final decision is up to the parliament. "Over 344,000 signatures have been collected, but the Court of Appeal prohibited the referendum. We shall see what the subsequent actions will be. But the involvement of the church in politics is a violation of its own status," Ghimpu said.<\/p>\n

The members of the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Moldova have recently signed a declaration. In the document, they explained the actions of the church, noting that they were willing to give full support to the process of self-assertion in the public life of a new political force of Christian Orthodox orientation, which will be created by the former director of the Security and Information Service, Valeriu Pasat.<\/p>\n

"The massive opposition of the political establishment to the initiative to hold a referendum on the introduction of the discipline Bases of Orthodoxy in the pre-university education, and the threats to the clergymen convince us that a political force representing the interests of the Christians and the Church on the whole should be created in Moldova. In this respect, we deem as just Valeriu Pasat’s intention to create a new party of Christian and Orthodox orientation," the declaration said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
