When I can hear as someone talks nonsense I am laughing.
When I can hear as a clergyman talks nonsense I am crying.
When the clergyman distorts the truth of the Gospels, he must be driven out of the church.
How much fools are in the Church! People look at them and think that church is collection of fools.
But it is not so! The Church is the house of universal wisdom and knowledges.
The Church is the House of God and I know it.
In fact, there are many bad clergymen in the Church. Be the clergyman means to be a mediator between God and man. As a gifted artist so and a gifted clergyman is a rarity. The good clergyman can give a lot of good for your soul and peace of mind. I have had experience of communication with the good clergyman. It was in the Holy Trinity Monastery in 1999. The clergyman's name was Father Naum. From dialogue with him I got very much for my soul and future life.

They do not turn away from people, but people turn away from them: people look but do not see, listen but do not hear, or, in the words of Heraclitus, " absent being present”.  I. Ilyin “The Lonely Artist”.   - I was four years old when my older brother was given colored pencils. I took these pencils and said: "I won't give them back ." And a person dear to me, my mother's sister, said: "Don't touch him, he will be an artist." (V. M.) ValentinMassow was born in 1937, on the centenary of the death of A.S. Pushkin , in the family of a provincial doctor an...
