“First of all, it seems necessary to define the limits of the Church’s presence in the military.”
“The army is a powerful instrument for carrying out state policy; therefore, it cannot be outside politics.”
“The depoliticization of the army can and should be discussed only in the sense that it must not become an arena for competition among political forces.”
“As for the activity of the Church in the military, it is both possible and necessary.”
“Religious institutions in the army must solve a difficult but feasible task: combining highly humane moral precepts with an awareness of civic duty to defend the Motherland with arms in hand.”
“In my view, the Church should satisfy the spiritual needs of soldiers and officers.”
“Care should be purely spiritual, and not over the entire body of troops, but over those servicemen who need it.”
“A very important provision of the draft Law ‘On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Organizations’ is the establishment of a democratic procedure for registering religious societies.”
“Citizens who have submitted an application for registration of a religious society must receive a reasoned refusal in written form.”
“Local Councils thus receive an easy opportunity to avoid resolving a disputed question and to hide behind the back of a state body.”
