Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) Porphyry declared on Sunday at the liturgy in the Church of St. Sava that there is no one who is not in favor of the student demands being met, but that he is not the one who can say whether they are or not and pointed out that he would like "our children to return to classrooms, to primary and secondary schools and to universities", it was published on the website SPC.
"I would also like to say that, relying on today's Gospel, that our children go back to the classrooms, to primary and secondary schools and to universities, and that precisely by blocking all that is sin, blocking evil thoughts, evil words and evil actions in relation to each other, everyone talks to each other, and learning and teaching each other to find the best path where there is room for everyone," said Porfirio.
He added that it was often questioned what the SPC thought about the student demands.
"I don't think there is a person who is not in favor of student demands being met, but I am not that one, and probably there are few of us gathered here who can say whether they are or not." That should be said by the competent, invited and paid for it. That's why we need to block the dead end, to block the pathlessness, to block exclusivity in us, to block egoism, to block self-love, to block everything in us that does not imply the existence of another," said Porfirius.
