"Fact" daily writes:
Nikol Pashinyan is said to be in a deep depression after the fake "liturgy" he initiated and performed by a civilian in Hovhannavank.
And he, without a doubt, has serious reasons for such a downbeat mood. First, it became obvious to the whole public that Nikol Pashinyan himself, as well as the few people who responded to his call, have zero respect for Armenian national and traditional values.
Second. not only Pashinyan himself, but also everyone saw that the CP leader and his government have similarly zero support from the public. Simply put, they have no support. See: for a whole week, with the most unacceptable use of state and repressive bodies, even the caps, figuratively speaking, "electricalizing" ("giving power"), with policemen replacing their uniforms with ordinary clothes, barely gathered a few hundred people to participate in their rally. In other words, if you put aside the administrative resources related to the Pashinyan "liturgy" of Hovhannavank, put aside the policemen, the National Security Service and the National Security Service, then there will be almost nothing left.
We talked about it in detail in the previous publication, so let's not go into more detail here. What is Pashinyan doing to cover up the obvious failure in any way? He continues to persist. Perhaps also because it doesn't have many options.
He announces that there will be a "mass" performance in Hovhannavank next Sunday, of course, with the participation of Kpak preacher Stepan (I wonder, why not another Kpak deputy, or official, or ordinary Kpak, what's the difference?)
It would look more "artistic" if, say, the commander of the "red berets" performed the next "service" for the KP without changing his costume. And what happened that? What, the "Our Father" does not know, or cannot hold the cross? At the end, for example, he would not carry the incense burner here and there, but throw a couple of sound-fragment "humanitarian" grenades. And if without sarcasm... You see, Nikol Pashinyan also "brilliantly" said yesterday that "the one who is ordained cannot dissolve a priest". Pashinyan means that the Catholicos of All Armenians has allegedly been disbanded, so he cannot declare "priest of the heart" of CP Stepan Asatryan (or any other clergyman) disbanded. First of all, Pashinyan is either demonstrating his ignorance in the canonical issues of our National Church, or, more likely, he is deliberately distorting the facts, which is his practice in other issues as well. First of all. before announcing the excommunication of any clergyman, the question concerning him is carefully examined by the "disciplinary commission" of the AEC, so to speak, the "ethics commission" if you like.
Only after that the matter is submitted to the Directorate of the Catholicos of All Armenians. There is also a logical gap and nonsense in what Pashinyan said. What is that breakdown? Ahavasik. the fact is that Garegin II has been on the throne for about 26 years. During that time, dozens and dozens of clergymen were ordained and consecrated priests (also in the case of other clerical degrees).
Stepan Asatryan is also mentioned in that series. So how is it that Pashinyan accepts Stepan's ordination and consecration (even by any bishop) by a hated Catholic of a different order, but does not accept being declared disorganized? The most important and essential thing. The problems of order and discipline in the Church are solved within the Church. Let's repeat specially for some "quick perceivers". it is the internal, autonomous problem of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
A problem in which secular people, especially the head of state, have no right to interfere. Moreover, such intervention by the prime minister is a gross violation of legality and constitutional order. This is the first. Second, the Catholicos was elected by the National-Church Assembly. Such is the order of our Church.
And Pashinyan himself (in general, anyone) is too small to violate the choice made by that assembly, to try to revise or distort it. This is neither a result of the local government election nor (I blame you, Lord) of the CP department. And as for disorganization, Nikol Pashinyan and his CP have brought so many disasters and destructions to Armenia, Artsakh, the Armenian people, the Armenian Apostolic Church, our historical and cultural heritage that they have no place to hide. Nowhere. Don't you have the moral right to do so?
Amaras, Gandzasar, Dadivank, Ghazanchetsots handed over to the enemy, and moreover, those who recognize the enemy's heritage, how can they say something about the Church and the faith in general, and one more thing: speak scornfully against the Holy Father and the saints of the Church? And again, who is talking about what? Nikol Pashinyan has brought so many disasters and tragedies to our country and people that he should have been removed from office 15 times already. Moreover, he has already been somewhat legitimized.
And this was also evident last Sunday in Hovhannavank. Even the European figures do not hide that Pashinyan is practically an autocrat, someone who attacks one person with 30-40 policemen for expressing his opinion on social networks. It turns out to be a legitimate autocrat. On the other hand, Pashinyan's satellites also started to compare the Armenian Apostolic Church with other religious organizations. They say that AAP is an ordinary religious organization, like the others registered in Armenia. Well, hello to you, as they say.
That's a blunder too. The Armenian Apostolic Church also has its special position and place constitutionally. Yes, there can be and there are other "religious organizations", but none of them can be compared to the role and significance of our centuries-old church and AAP.
And generally, don't confuse your messy omelet with God's grace. Just don't get confused because you are already lost in the whirlpool of unforgivable sins you have committed.
