The phenomenon of people Pussy Riot
In the first issue of "Thomas" in 2008 published another interview with Deacon Andrei Kuraev. The well-known missionary, writer, master of controversial reasoning here confirmed his controversial reputation.
The Apostle Paul ... says that "no one can say that Jesus is Lord 'except by the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12: 3). You see, here comes along the street of Jerusalem Yeshua Ha-Notsri. And to acknowledge this carpenter and a traveling preacher of the Creator of the universe is impossible, although you can memorize the Bible, skillfully "juggle" with quotations from it and know by heart all the prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, as they knew many of the Jews ...
In sect now fashionable to say, "Here, you ofariseilis churchmen, and if today, Christ came to earth, you too would have crucified him." You know, I am deeply convinced that the way it is.
To confirm his words Deacon Andrew brought the story of the priest Vyatka diocese. He regularly read the gospel of his feeble grandmother.
And then one day ... on Holy Week, when he read her chapters on the trial of Jesus and His crucifixion, the grandmother of the last forces suddenly rose from his chair, turned to the icons, crossed herself and said, "Lord, thank You that You are not for us , came to the Russian, but you see what a disgrace to the whole world would be. "
In March 2012 Christ came to the Russian ...
Of course, seen in the current tribulations of the girls Pussy Riot glimpse of Calvary is not easier than to recognize the Son of God leader roughest fishermen. Not easier. But not harder. As well. Human reason can not - only the Holy Spirit ... (At this point suggests a long list of quotations from the New Testament about love, brotherly love, and other features that distinguish true Christians. It will not. Why?)
Take a look at Christ through the eyes of his contemporaries. Coming from a distant province (like a mother to Nadi Tolokonnikova city of Norilsk). From his family, he denied it. He gathered a troop of ragamuffins. Taught them all sorts of follies. Allowed himself to impute to nothing the commandments of Moses, instead of offering something unimaginable. At every turn cynical violated religious taboos, and even boasted of it. Arrogantly insulted VIP-persons of esteemed rabbis. He was on the short leg with the "dregs of society." In the end, broke into the Jerusalem Temple, overthrew the tables of moneychangers, scattered cells with the birds and the screaming is (!), From which the blood run cold hair and stir. What's next? Jewish Mitropolitbyuro accused him of blasphemy, blasphemy, and disorderly conduct. To this list, accompanied by "blasphemy against Caesar" - a political crime. Occupation administration took him into custody. Above it mocked. Dressed in a clown costume (the robe, crown of thorns, mocking the tablet with the inscription). All the faithful and spat upon, he died an agonizing death. Under the hooting crowd. And the torturers as pleased with themselves, their homes.
"So then Christ is Well! And these - who? Mokroschelki "- with gusto repeat a favorite word, strong hind mind the current torturers. But for the Jews crucifiers-Christ was exactly the same "mokroschelkoy!" Even worse. But this simple fact can be recognized only by the Holy Spirit - his mind is powerless. Only the Holy Spirit opens in thousands of everyday situations evangelical background. And it makes us blush for dense that foolishly betrayed Christ ...
And were Pontius Pilate, and the repentant thief. Pilate knew that "mokroschelka the purple robe" nakosorezila a maximum of 15 days and waited for the Jews forgive her. A wise thief, in general, or not think about anything and nothing is expected. Just sorry "psycho" in the clown hat - has found for his kind words and defended against the attacks of robbers unreasonable.
The Holy Spirit in all of this did not participate. The wise thief did not know: who is dealing with. And could not know. For him, that crown of thorns, that cap-balaclava - a hell (and he himself, you see, the hell with all the mountains again to the highest measure of narazboynichal). And at the foot of the cross - nothing but "believers"! With the "offended chuystvami" and mouths full of saliva. Where are they now? Where to Pilate? About the robber did not ask. His whereabouts is known - with Christ in heaven ...
But back to the Holy Spirit, the grace which gives us the odds of one hundred points. The Holy Spirit blows where it wishes. For example, in a student hostel in which the provincial girls looking for Jesus, not knowing who they are looking for.
Being a Christian - means to be Christ. This is not an artistic exaggeration. In the sacrament of baptism, we sing "In Christ krestihomsya - oblekohomsya in Christ!" - That is, we put him on a like suit, buttoning a snake, and ... "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." This did not suit binds the motion, on the contrary - liberating, returns to the soul to its non-human nature.
Particularly acute is felt at the junction of "golden child", and adult life. Because in the calendar are so many young martyrs. Because almost all the great saints, for the first time intoxicated undiluted Christ in the "tender age." In the end, the shortest route from point "A" to point "B" - a straight line. "It is I have to - cut circles!" - Shrugs for extremely young and are pushing ahead.
"Company" Russian type of holiness - foolishness - too fond of the young. Once on the throne of Herod the King, and in the church "is not all wrong" - is the only available way to oskotinitsya ...
The meaning of idiocy in a voluntary, open, even an emphatic rejection of all that the world honors the values and decency. As a result, the Fool is in the position of Christ on the eve of Golgotha - all despised, beaten, spat upon. Only a person who somehow glows, her eyes shining, and on the lips - a blissful smile.
Idiot, do you? No, fool.
Any foolishness - for Christ's sake. It is impossible to choose a such a fate, and through it to find an incredible, transcendental freedom otherwise.
The girls from the Pussy Riot had many predecessors. In the 18th century on the city streets and squares of Blessed Xenia roamed in a man's suit. Can you imagine how humiliated and subjected to ridicule this "holy transvestite?" In the 16th century - Basil the Blessed, completely naked, with uncovered genitals, a scene in a series of trade and denounced the Terrible Tsar. Of the Saints last time - Theodosius Caucasian, patiently bear derision for his commitment to the shirt of unimaginable colors' in flower. "
Today's young men and women found a place for heroism at the intersection of politics and contemporary art. There they remained until the spontaneous action of the girls from the Pussy Riot at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior did not put everything in its place ...
That Pussy Riot did, struck by two things:
A. Impeccable from a theological point of view of the text (not the slightest hint of blasphemy!)
Two. They are clearly and unambiguously stated that their action - not a "performance", not "artistic gesture," and prayer.
"What I was the captain? - Shouted in unison, Archpriest Chaplin, a professional blasphemer and a prominent blogger Samodurov Bulk - Blasphemy was because ... it could not be! This is hooliganism, because ... what else? "The same cry literally everything - from the most inveterate" Orthodox gopnika "up to the refined-atheist activist. And those who are willing to break them into pieces, and those who left March 8 for them to require mitigation measure.
At the same time, few people noticed that this entire op is based on pure assumption that girls are not telling the truth. No other reason to ascribe to them a "hooligan motives" no. But to prove that they are referring to the Mother of God, not praying, and doing something else - is impossible. Though some real basis for the prosecution may give only "queen of evidence" - a frank confession. Is it because in the dungeons of the keep of two young mothers - a perfect object for blackmail (childless girl immediately released)?
Persistence Pussy Riot annoying because it does not fit into the usual picture of the world in which they assigned to a comfortable niche in the Diocese of Marat Gelman and other curators of "modern art". They can still be tolerated, as the radical opposition. Or just a "scumbag." But how can you recognize a text prayer, and its performers - Christians? How can we conceive that the form and content of a public appeal to the Virgin Mary and Christ - praying to a personal matter that can, for example, to ask his heavenly patron rid the country of the usurper and his accomplice in the patriarchal dolls? Moreover, doing so is in the building of the temple, without asking permission from an official in a cassock! And that means, "The protests Ever-Virgin Mary with us?" And with them, then who? Whore of Babylon? ..
In general, the prognosis of Andrei Kuraev sold in accuracy to the point. He himself, with relative freedom of expression, while holding aloof from fellow crucifiers. But tomorrow he will have to make a choice. Ultimately, it will have to do for everyone. And then somehow live with it.
