The synodical commission on social and moral matters of the Moldovan Metropolitan Church demands that Parliament should ban immorality by law. In a news conference at IPN, members of the commission said they no longer demand abrogating the Law on the Equality of Chances, but request making changes to any legal act so that the sexual minorities are banned from staging immoral and anti-Christian street events.

“We suggest amending the law concerning the maintaining and restoring of public order or any other law so as to ban the propagation of immorality. We demand defining immorality and banning it,” said Elena Bitca, the synodical commission’s lawyer.

According to her, the synodical commission drafted a bill for outlawing immorality and sent it to President Nicolae Timofti, Prime Minister Iurie Leanca and Speaker Igor Corman. The bill says that the immoral public events that may cause moral and physical damage to children, family and society are banned.

Archbishop Victor Plesca said the Christian Church is against not the man, but the promoted sin. “According to the Holy Scripture, homosexuality is a sin condemned categorically. As lie is incompatible with truth, virtue is incompatible with the sin,” he stated.

Last week, on the expiration of one month given to the authorities to review the Law on the Equality of Chances, the Moldovan Metropolitan Church announced that the state officials will not be given communion.
