“Maximum repost” – with such loud appeal released a scandalous video of the monks pafnouty-Borovsky monastery in Kaluga region.
“We should all voluntarily admit themselves sick with coronavirus,” says the local priest father Roman. Rather, what should – in the opinion of the brethren, they are forced to do by the doctors and the authorities.
the Man says that all the inhabitants of their monastery without any reason I want, not looking to put just a glorified all over the world diagnosis and therefore advance given to each of the signed voluntary consent for treatment. Issued – before the results of the testing. Paper attached: “I’m so-and-so informed about the POSITIVE result of the laboratory research of my biological material for novel coronavirus infection”.
Public video demonstration of the strange document had spread to many Orthodox websites and viral went to the messengers.
Believers, and with quiet protest greeted the news of the closing of temples and epidemics among the monks, immediately roared: “So that’s how “sick” in Diveevo and the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra?” – angry 40-year-old parishioner Olga from Moscow. – All monks are healthy actually, it is done on purpose to us, Orthodox, to intimidate and force not to go to Church.”
“We were closed from the pilgrims in order to be disinfected, the monastery continues hieromonk. Came machine, I sprinkled it everywhere on the street, and tomorrow was supposed to do the tests…”
Next, according to his story, on April 30 came with PCR-diagnosis of the local hospital, and it turned out that the monks should, supposedly, immediately sign, and consent to the fact that they will be treated. And agree with the rules, which must exist in the conditions of the quarantine and penalties for their violation, up to criminal.
This is the brethren openly outraged: “So how is statistics?” Borowski monks consider themselves healthy, and what happened to them – a provocation.
Their conclusion is categorical: the coronavirus do not believe doctors will not allow ourselves to, to comply with the requirements will not, monasteries especially down at the closing.
True, who needs it, how such enemies, if he is the Patriarch asked the priests and the congregation to be extremely careful in Moscow is a great honor Ministers of the ROC are either already sick, or sit on a strict quarantine, Kaluga, the brethren of the arguments does not.
What was this paper about the consent to the treatment of coronavirus and why she came to the monastery? Accidentally and inadvertently? Or someone added fuel to the fire – after all the contradictory attitude of the Orthodox Church to the world of the pandemic and ways of dealing with the disease in the long term can lead to this Church split is on this meet a few experts you tell met on this subject.
And it’s not in the coronavirus.
Orthodox monasteries, especially rich, influential, by decree from the top still creaked closed, then lost numerous revenue from the visits of pilgrims, and the means for its existence.
Stop economic activity because some of the virus indefinitely – not all metropolitans will understand. In this case, being determines consciousness.
So part of the mansion, that is forces, to resist, to recognize the danger of infection, and some believe that the disease even exists.
all Right, only they and members I assure you.
the Order of the ROC somewhere on the ground openly sabotaged. So, the Governor of the Trinity Sergius Lavra Paramon (Golubka) referred to the fact that, say, they gathered the Council of elders and decided not to close the monastery. Why then there is the Governor, if his word means nothing?
Who could, one handed closing to the last – in Diveyevo, when the approaches to the infected village have already had to block the police.
“How could view the beginning of the epidemic, the mother of St. Sergius – the mother Superior of the Diveyevo convent, a doctor by profession? – anonymously commented “MK” a source who is aware of the situation. – Yes, it is, some Metropolitan is forbidden to close the monasteries, and the regional authorities decide them not to quarrel – and here’s the result.”
And how many mansions do not let doctors at the threshold, refusing the tests? Accurate statistics either. As there is no specific number of infected and ill in this closed environment. It is known that in Ukraine in the same Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, the authorities were almost forced everyone to hand over smears on coronavirus and found that sick the polls.
But in Russia, the Rospotrebnadzor affect monastic leadership can not, those – to my boss, who is in heaven.
Therefore, treated with prayers and sacred processions.
So the orphans from the orphanage next to St. Nicolas’s Chernoostrovsky a convent, in the same in the Kaluga region, the whole Easter week daily walked in procession as adults. Many care about their fate. Alas, check out what’s happening there from an epidemiological point of view today, as they say, it is impossible prioress is very strict.
“Our Borowski, monks also behave very strange: Patriarch appeals not to perform extensive service on Easter, Metropolitan made… and they still made her… and now, trying to steer the attention away from what made themselves attacking the doctors” – suggest local.
But some residents, however, the brethren support it. “Got all their inhibitions. If anyone will survive, so only our monks, they all otmolit”.
worst of all, if the monasteries really��enforcement will start a massive plague due COVID-19, no one will know, by tradition of the body the monks are not supposed to open.
the brethren of the pafnutiev-Borovsky monastery says that the sick among them. And that they don’t even know why they pretended to be doctors.
However, according to official figures, at least one of the employees of the monastery was in a hospital bed.
“In the regional infectious diseases hospital were hospitalized employee of the monastery, with a preliminary diagnosis COVID-19. Now waiting for the results of the analysis taken,” he told the local media in a press-service of the government of Kaluga region.
So what is still in the monastery began Bucha? And that paper was forced to sign the monks?
the representatives of the regional administration has its own version of what happened: there was confusion.
“the monastery has been a group of disinfection, but only processed the territory, the monks said that in the disinfection carried themselves,” – commented on the situation, a representative of the Borovsky district of the Kaluga region Alexey Geraskin. “To bring information about what is possible and what is not recommended for isolation, the doctors decided to transfer the monks of the model forms with the rules of behaviors, but an error occurred and took not the same.”
Officials insist that the doctors just wanted to explain to the brethren how to behave, not to get sick.
to Gather all the monks and laborers together for lectures – it is almost impossible, especially this clearly would violate security measures. On hand were model forms, which detail what you can and cannot do, and the responsibility for violation of the… On the high end instead of these forms the brethren gave consent to treatment if already diagnosed with the coronavirus.
“In this case, a health worker, due to the high workload, most likely, confused the documents. In any case, without confirmed laboratory tests study one in the statistics does not consider such cases”, – says the local Ministry of health.
But the scandal to extinguish it failed. The monks insist on being right. To influence them or to compel smears, after authorities admitted the confusion in the documents is impossible.
Forced measures to the monks can only be applied on the basis of the order of the chief state sanitary doctor of Kaluga oblast.
Well, while all living in the monastery are warned on a voluntary basis still to organize a regime of self-isolation to prevent the spread of infection is more among the inhabitants.
However, the authorities hope that monastics still be reasonable, will cease to trouble and pass the tests.
