Patriarch demands 7 years jail for Pussy riot

Russian punk band were doing devil’s work, says leader of Orthodox church

Patriarch Kirill condemns calls for leniency after Pussy Riot performed unsanctioned show in Moscow’s main cathedral

Three members of the band have already spent 6 months in prison for just playing an anti-Putin song in the church.

Kirill, known for his barbaric, sexist and openly corrupt behaviour, demanded they get 7 years in prison.

A feminist punk band who staged an unsanctioned performance in Moscow’s principal cathedral were doing the work of the devil, according to the head of the Russian Orthodox church.

Patriarch Kirill said that “the devil laughed at us” when Pussy Riot performed their song Virgin Mary, Mother of God, Expel Putin! in the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour less than a fortnight before presidential elections.

The Russian Orthodox church is taking all this very seriously. This is an outright attack against the church order! Patriarch Kirill (who’s Putin’s close ally and is never shy from campaigning on his behalf – for which he is rebuked in the song as well, part of the text saying he prays to Putin rather than God), echoed by other high clergy in white robes, long shaggy beards and shiny golden hats, are calling for a SEVERE punishment for the perpetrators.

Their charges: BLASPHEMY! The police raid is short to follow, three of the four criminals are arrested – Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich. Charges are pressed for hooliganism and infringement upon the sensitive religous feelings of the Church and its peaceful flock. The possible sentence is 7 years in prison. You called it upon yourself, girls! That’ll teach you some decency!

MOSCOW — Facing a scandal over photographs of its leader wearing an enormously expensive watch, the Russian Orthodox Churchworked a little miracle: It made the offending timepiece disappear.

Editors doctored a photograph on the church’s Web site of the leader, Patriarch Kirill I, extending a black sleeve where there once appeared to be a Breguet timepiece worth at least $30,000. The church might have gotten away with the ruse if it had not failed to also erase the watch’s reflection, which appeared in the photo on the highly glossed table where the patriarch was seated.

The scandal is  added to by Kirill’s endless pontificating about corruption… for example.. Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill said crime, drugs and corruption caused the massive earthquake that killed tens of thousands of people in Haiti. Kirill, speaking during a visit to Kazakhstan, said the Haitian people bore responsibility for the calamity because they had turned away from God, the Ferghana.ru news agency reported

The church, subsidised by and totally subservient to the Putin regime is itself accused of generalized corruption. Though it claims moral authority fewer than 7% actually attend church.
