Blasphemy in the Moscow Art Theater

https://russian-faith.com/blasphemy-moscow-art-theater-was-stopped-preaching-n2236

Orthodox Christian activists interrupted a play, pointing out the blasphemy and calling for viewers to leave in protest. Part of the audience got up and left.

After that, security guards of the Moscow Art Theater began to beat the young people, forcibly removing them from the scene.

I don't approve of violence, but love great theater.

I love Beatle references in priestly diatribes.

You know, when one of the soloists of the legendary Beatles group declared that they were more popular than Christ, then Christians around the world began throwing out their albums. I think that any action causing an insult to our holy places should be resented by baptized Christians, just as much as this statement from John Lennon.
