A new episode of the program “An Interview Hour with Gregory Antimony” is now available on our YouTube channel:
In this episode, Gregory Antimony took an interview with Father Nestor Mykhailechko and they discussed such topics as the role of war chaplains, how to stop evil and why are Russians different from Ukrainians.
Here are a few quotes from the interview with Father Nestor:
“The clergy have all mobilized. They went into chaplaincy. They weren’t called to the military recruitment center. It’s all volunteers. There are Jewish chaplains, there are women. They take risks, and they are allowed to carry weapons.”
“Today it feels like you live in a country at war.”
“Man may seem healthy, have two arms, two legs, but if he is infected with the contagion of arrogance – ‘we are Russians’, then he is diseased.”
“Ukraine, yes, it has changed, people have changed, people’s attitudes have changed.”
“The army is 40 percent provided by volunteers. This is the people.”
“There is cohesion of the people, but random people got into politics.”
“Killing a man is a sin. Yes, we will count on God’s mercy, and justify ourselves before God: I tried to stop evil, I did not want to respond to evil with evil, but I had no other means.”
“Behind the sacred ministry, there are often miserable, greedy creatures making material wealth.”
“Still, a person should work on himself. I think, I believe that a person’s identity can survive, be preserved. ”
