In an interview with the Tass news agency, Metropolitan Anthony of Volokolamsk said that until recently, the subjects of sexual morality and family life were among “the few about which we and the Roman Catholic Church could speak the same language.”
Many Protestant denominations have abandoned the traditional Christian moral principles, he said, and if the Vatican follows suit, “I can’t really imagine what we could talk about with Catholics.”
Speaking specifically about the Vatican document Fiducia Supplicans, which allowed for blessings of same-sex couples, Metropolitan Anthony said that it “cannot but cause bewilderment and concern.”
