Presbyterian for 32 years here and I'm converting to Russian Orthodoxy.

And this is exactly why I left Protestantism to join Orthodoxy

As a Christian in America, his words burn within me; and I know we must repent. Thank you for being a light in the midst of darkness!

Born and raised protestant. Now heavily considering Orthodoxy. What he said is so true regarding faith following the lead of parliament. When I was growing up in the 90s, our churches spoke against homosexual marriage frequently. Now that the laws have changed, they've mostly clammed up. They won't support it still, but they dare not speak it.

I'm a protestant but agree with much of what he says. The problem is that it is a generalization, he is referring to lukewarm specifically, not protestants as a whole. Those who mix Christian theology and the western agenda are lukewarm.

Former Protestant, Orthodox four years now, glory to God! Christ is risen!

Nigerian Christian Protestant here; this Patriach speaks with such power like a real man should. I can listen to him all day.

Patriarch Kirill is right that the Orthodox Christian Church has kept the Orthodox Christian faith in tack and whole without compromising a single word of God Holy Church and Faith. God bless His Holiness Patriarch Kirill.

I am Catholic,but I admire orthodox Christianity ✝️ so faithful to our Lord,followers of Apostle Mark and in centuries they never changed anything , like our church in Vatican changing every year something,what is against Apostles teaching,we should be so strong in our faith like Orthodox Church God bless our churches 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

This guy gives the most based and hardcore speeches. I feel amped just listening to him he clearly was born to speak to people. Nobody in politics speaks so confidently, they all dance around issues this man just hammers them head on. Even if you don't agree with him on everything you have to respect that and respect someone who actually lives by a set of principles. He embodies the sort of strength and determination the west seems to no longer have.

##Long live Orthodox Cherstianity #Warm greetings from # Ethiopia

Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven ✝️

Cannot disagree with a single word he says. The West is in decline.

As a protestant, I can promise you these truths hurt just as much for many protestants as we watch other leaders of protestant churches fall away from the Truth of God. It takes a great toll on all believers as society falls away from God as it even effects our fellowship with one another.

I am Lutheran but I love everything from Russian Orthodox. The liturgy, Holy Garments , Their Church building styles, JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!. MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD BE WITH US FOREVER

This sounds so much better than any sermon I have heard in my Catholic Church or in a Baptist, Evangelical or Non-Denominational Church. I have been to all these churches in the United States and I can't get a sermon like this. I don't feel at home but rather uneasy in this land that seems more foreign to me everyday. I want to join a monastery as what I see sickens me in society today. My mother turned gay, my sister turned gay, but I have always been against these acts. I am not perfect. Lord knows I have many, many sins to my name. But just because I am a sinner doesn't mean I have to accept sin. I must actively try to correct my sins, my heart, my soul in the name of The Lord. I must ask for His forgiveness daily and I must try my best everyday to be Christlike. My mother is getting "married" to another woman. I will not be attending this unholy event. I have tried to make my sister see the light but she focuses only on her woman and her career and not on God. I still love them both but I do not condone what they do. God have mercy on me, a sinner. God have mercy on us all!

I'm glad Christianity's having a resurgence in Russia. For the time being the West is less Christian than it used to be, and Russia is more than it used to be. I agree some churches in the West are compromising with weird secular values around them. I disagree with the idea that Protestantism has supposedly failed for all time as he seems to suggest and that Orthodoxy has supposedly never experienced any temporary moral failings, because that happens to every group eventually, even Christian ones. Since Protestant churches aren't under one denomination and centralized leadership some have failed and others have succeeded. Some Protestant denominations and churches abhor and want no part of secularist values. Weren't the Russians part of the Orthodox church before the revolution that brought communism in? Doesn't that represent a failure of Orthodox people living there to resist secular atheistic influence. In America the freedom to practice Christianity has never come under attack the way it did in communist Russia. The secular influence has affected every Christian denomination at times, so don't think it can't happen to Orthodox because they're not Catholic, or Protestant. Be vigilant rather than thinking it can only ever happen to the other two. I don't mean this as anything negative against Orthodox Christianity, just that resisting corruption creeping into their lives, or their church, is something all Christians must do.

Beautiful sermon from the Russian Patriarch. The way it should be done. Respect from a Roman Catholic!! Praying for you, Orthodox Catholic Brothers. Pray for us, too!!

The Russian Orthodox Church has some really awesome services.

I'm Roman Catholic,it's good to hear our Eastern counterparts, our brothers such significance. Thank you

As a Serbian Orthodox Swedish-Serb, I am happy and I thank God that I decided to be a member of the true church and not any false Protestant ”church”, such as the ”Church” of Sweden, because they supports LGBT, defends Islam and they have female priests.

I'm protestan but want Orthodox to rule

The biggest failure in protestantism is that every generation will take Bible into their own translation and intepretation, as there is no real structure, one church will have different views on issues than the others. The meaning of the Bible lost in translations, from Aramaic to Greek, from Greek to Latin, from Latin to German, from German to English, from English to various language, each time translators assume the meaning of words they don't neccessarily understand.

I'm a Muslim.... And it's true that Orthodox Christians are true Christians and the Guardian of the faith......love to all my Christian Brothers

At the rate things are going in the rest of the world, orthodoxy might end up the only contestant still standing.

I just love how he speaks with real authority truly divine When I see others speak especially the pope, I feel it is uninspired I have recently converted to orthodox church from non denomination and an so happy I have found the real church amen

Just left protestantism, Arizona, USA 🇺🇸

God bless this man. Our culture is being systematically destroyed by evil. Stand tall. Have families. Teach your children the truth. We will prevail.

The true Church of Christ ☦️ Christ is Risen Brothers and Sisters ☝️

Finally someone with morals who doesn't need to change to appease the masses

As a Protestant Christian I agree with all these points sadly...

I love Patriarch Cyril. He reminds me of the elders of faith in centuries following ascension of our Lord.

I still remember I went to protestant church nearby my house once last year,where everyone sang frantically along with those modern instruments,none of humble&peaceful setted in their mind.After finished worship service, the first thing I did after went back home is to open some hymns sung by monks of Mount Athos, lighting candles while praying to Lord with prayers&that was when I felt safety&comfortable.

As a catholic I am ashamed of the Pope and the bishop's. Thank you for your words.

Orthodoxy...our mother and soul we love you purity of faith. Peace from the Coptic Orthodox church in Egypt to all orthodox churches all over the globe.

I am a Catholic. I want the schism to end. I want us to embrace as brothers. I await the day when our Churches will be one again. I hope this can happen by 2054.

Amen from a Catholic brother in Christ 🙏 He delivers a very powerful message that resonates beyond Christian divisions

Not all Protestants except gay marriage you can’t tar everyone with the same brush.

Thinking of visiting my local Orthodox Church

I am an Protestant Christian. I believe in Jesus. And i love you all my brothers and sisters in Christ Sadly the thing you said is true. But in my hometown, we keep the faith and the dogma

-Describe the word "based" with a video Me:

This message needs to be heard in the midst of Pride Month.

Wonderful wake up call to all orthodox Christians from Ethiopia 🇪🇹.

God bless you and bless the Russian Church From Lebanon 🇱🇧☦️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Orthodox Church is actually in fact the oldest church, the second being the roman catholic, and third, Anglican. The Anglican Church greatly opposed homosexual practices, so do most other protestant denominations. unfortunately the protestants who try to be 'too modern' and try to 'please everyone' are actually the ones who accept such heresies and abominations in the eyes of God. In the words of Jesus Christ Himself "If they are not against us, they are for us." we as fellow Christians and worshipers of the one and only Almighty and All Holy God, are friends not fiends of the orthodox and catholic church. we only have some disagreements, but we will still remain friends.

almost makes me want to join the orthodox church. I love the catholic church, there are many like patriarch Kiril, but there are many who act and speak like protestants. God bless us! Next year we will see what comes of all this. St Mark pray for us

His Holiness is absolutely right. The Protestant Church, particularly the Church of England has turned its face from the true faith, the belief and teachings of the Bible and embraced 21st century values, marriages between same sexes, modernisation of the Bible to such a degree that it is unrecognisable. I weep for the true believers, in this Church. I converted to the Orthodox faith 15 years ago and I praise God for the Orthodox Church and its unswerving stance against such heresy.

As an Anglican, it is sad to see the west fall to such evil. Long may we remaining traditionalist stand with our Orthodox brothers against the sinful reforms of our institutions and the forces of the world influencing our faith. Long may the word of the savior reign on this Earth. God's will be done.

Am I glad I found the True Church. Я рад, что нашел истинную Церковь

As a Protestant I affirm this message, although any Eastern readers should know there are many strong Protestant churches that defend the Truth and do not cave to their surrounding society. I wish there was a way the Orthdox church could reach out a hand and help them, I'm sure they would appreciate it and respect such a positive and loving example of Christ's proactive love. Many lose jobs for rejecting homosexual marriage, or are excluded from academic communities for rejecting post-modernism. God bless the Orthodox Church until the day we are all united with Christ. Pray for those of us in the West.

As a protestant I really have to say, we have to come out of this darkness of liberalism and multicultural garbage. We really should orientate us more on the Russian Orthodox Church.

Amen! I'm a Roman Catholic, please pray for my conversion..

I am a very Conservative Baptist. I have more in common with Bro. Cyril than I do with much of the liberalization of culture in the West. Us Conservative Christians in the U.S have more in common with our Christian brethren in Russia than with the liberals in our own culture. Many of us Conservative Christians in the South, Appalachia and Midwest will NOT fold. We will hold the line with the Lord's strength. God Bless Bro. Cyril.

This is true to an extent... however it’s only some Protestants that accept such unorthodox views like Episcopalians. Other Protestant denominations are pretty in line with orthodoxy.

Not to long, I'm going to the origin of Christian faith i can hear the voice calling, please pray for my journey....

This is why I'm planning on going to convert to orthodoxy

In the US Congress they now say amen and awomen.

As a traditional Catholic, I wish the Catholic Church would be more like our orthodox brothers and less like the protestants.

As a Catholic, I wish Pope Francis would talk like this

The great apostasy is here, signifying that the end is near. Anyone that truly does the will of my Father is my brother or my sister regardless of their denomination. May God bless you.

As a protestant from Finland, I totally agree - We have failed

This man speaks the truth.

By the grace of God I found the True Faith and look forward to being Chrismated Holy Saturday

In the case neomarxism most of Polish-Catholics stands on the same side with our Russian brothers in faith.

I am Roman Catholic, but I agree with everything he says, we need unity and hold sacred to tradition

As a believing Protestant I would agree with much of what Patriarch Cyril said, especially with regards to the blessings of same sex "marriages", but I would not count these people as Protestants or Christians for that matter.

I’m a young american raised Protestant and turned atheist and now I’ve realized how wrong I am, how selfish and materialistic I am. I need God in my life, I want to raise a family to know God and I’ve always felt something missing from my own church. I went to catholic mass once I thought of becoming catholic but there were so many concepts I just reject like the idea of purgatory, indulgences, and the blasphemer pope Francis and I found that the Orthodox Church had none of that heresy in their church and that’s it’s really based and that the community of people in it are really traditionalist who don’t give into the political demands of Israel and secular materialist. I’m now really thinking of joining the Orthodox Church, as much as my Protestant parents may reject it I hope I can be instrumental in showing them the path to the orthodox faith as well.

We Serbs did not even send our patriarch to council of Florence.

I'm converting Orthodox but many protestant stand with us. Love from America bishop please help keep peace, our society will die and the east will pick up the pieces, no need for more blood

Bless my orthodox brothers and sisters 🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏☦️🙏🙏.

Beautiful and truthful words from His Holiness. Total respect from this Latin Rite Catholic. Would to God that our Catholic shepherds were as bold in the declaration of the truth. Pray for us.

I was Prot for 24 years, and became Catholic in 2019. We desperately need unity in the church. When some "pastors" are giving in to the zeit geist of Modernism, we know we are heading down a dark path. We must pray fro our brothers and sisters who have been beguiled, my own family is among them. I alone out of my family converted and am saddened that I may need to leave them behind. But I'll still always pray for them and all of our siblings in the faith.

So glad that the Orthodoxy church is staying faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ!

I love patriarch Cyril, God gives to meet him live.❤☦☦☦😇

In the World of nonstopable postmodernism we have no "right" or "wrong". Only "authority" and "fighting for..."

that hymn at the end, what’s it’s name? it’s beautiful.

Patriarch Kiril is such a powerful defender of the Christian Church. He is not afraid to confront the moral corruption that seems to be infiltrating the western Christian mindset. Russia and Christianity as a whole are lucky to have such a man. God bless the Church and men like Patriarch Kiril!!!

After becoming a Christian I searched all the Protestant denominations across America for 14 years then I became Orthodox that was 36 years ago, I am home the end. Lovers of Christ amongst the Protestants, search churches history and find the truth and the life.

As a protestant I have become worried by the emphasis that is placed solely on God's love for humanity without any recognition for God's holiness. Only when you truly understand God's holiness and its importance can you truly appreciate God's love.

God bless this man and God bless the orthodox church, the one true church and the only one that will survive until the end of this world.

I AM in the process of becoming a Catholic under the auspices of Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults ( RCIA) @Sacred Heart Catholic Church here in Tucson, Arizona, when ,on, Saturday 11 April 2020AD, I will have undergone Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist. I look forward to a New Life and Love of GOD and Jesus Christ of Nazareth.🇺🇸🇻🇦✝️📖🙏⛪⚔️

God gives a life for the holy Patriarch Kirill. I do not know much about a Russian Orthodox but that was holy word. I am Orthodox Tewahedo from Ethiopia in India.

Many christians in Europe and America are getting weak for their love to the world but there are till this day strong Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, who are building their families and preaching The Gospel to the world. It is not over.

Protestant is modernisation in Christianity

I am a Protestant (Reformed Presbyterian) to be specific, but I do agree with most of what he said.

Orthodoxy is the true faith!

As a Catholic ... when was the last time one of our "Popes" spoke with such power and grace???? We are a worm-ridden church. Our shepherds have scattered the sheep. These are the endtimes spoken of our Holy Mother at Quito, LaSalette, and Fatima. I've had enough of Vatican 2. I've had enough of the "novelties". It's time to become Orthodox.

God bless the Russian Orthodox Church. Yes, we are to live in the image of God, of Christ.

I'm Moroccan Ex-muslim First I want to become Maronite Catholic but I research for holy orthodox church I found it so much beautiful I found the sacred orthodox Chants like Agni parthene 🙏☦, Hristos anesti ☦... I can't wait to orhodox baptism ☦🙏 MOROCCO have three orthodox churches two Russian and one Greek

His words ring a cold, hard, truth.

As a Traditional Roman Catholic I completely agree with his Holiness the Patriarch.Our church is in great heresy with the Modernist theologies and degradation of the Roman liturgy under Vat II.Now with .Pope Francis should go study Orthodox Catholic theology under the Patriarch, he might lo earn something.

God Bless, from the United States. Not Orthodox myself, but support your brave stance on traditional values. Wish people in the Episcopal faith, which I was raised in, would do the same.

For many many years your holiness 🙏🏻🙏🏻☦️☦️

In large part he is why I left atheism for Orthodoxy. What strong words. Growing up secular Lutheran, I thought that was all to Christianity. It's quite nice to type, "I was wrong". This is Christianity! This is God's word! Thank you.

greetings from a german roman-catholic

God save our Orthodox Church from the Evil One.....for the glory of God

I am Roman Catholic and I completely agree!

Masha Allah,may Allah gives us right hidayah to thinking like u to everyone orthodox Christian nd our brothers..nd iam a muslim

Thank you for speaking this truth so forthrightly🙏🏻 God Bless You 🙏🏻💖

Спасибо, патриарх, за что вы учите нас как жить хорошо! Вам спасибо из Бостонского района!
