Vladyka Mercury, Metropolitan of Rostov and Novocherkassk. Metropolitan Mercury: “I take criticism calmly. But you don’t need to speculate for me |
Hegumen Timofey, on the evening of July 31, was driving a BMW Z4 sports car with diplomatic license plates drunk, and who committed a double car accident on Zatsepsky Val, was driving as a private person. The head of the Synodal Department for Cooperation with the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies, Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov, told us about this. More information about this accident: and. Metropolitan Mercury (Ivanov) Igor Vladimirovich Ivanov (Mercury monk) was born on January 21, 1964. ..... But, as you know, in the Russian Orthodox Church such “mercurialism” is not punished at all, but is even encouraged. IN American biography Mercury has an episode with St. Nicholas Church in New York. This temple, built back in 1902, is located not far from the twin towers. The temple was not damaged during the terrorist attack on November 11, 2001. But the church authorities decided that restoration was still necessary. Naturally, Mercury supervised the restoration. The authorities of the Russian Orthodox Church asked Russian government 3 million dollars, and work began to boil. And after some time the work was completed. According to those who saw the temple before and after restoration, after restoration it became much worse. But this did not stop us from throwing a luxurious reception at the fashionable New York Plaza Hotel after the restoration. And this is not the most important thing. The fact is that Mercury forgot to pay for this reception. This threatened disaster for the temple: it would fall into litigation and could lose tax benefits provided by US law. It was assumed that Mercury would lose his post, but nothing. He served as manager of the Patriarchal parishes in the USA until 2009 (and the story of non-payment was in 2003). Well, it’s okay, this business was naturally hushed up. More details about it -. In 2009, Mercury returned to Moscow and became a member of the Inter-Council Presence of the Russian Orthodox Church. In addition, he becomes the rector of the Vysoko-Petrovsky Monastery, in which, just don’t fall, he also started restoration. As a result of such restoration, unique paintings in the Church of St. Peter the Metropolitan and in the Church were lost Tolga icon Mother of God, the baptismal font in the same church, unique ceramic icons in the gate church of the monastery. More details - . On July 27, 2011, Mercury was appointed Bishop of Rostov and Novocherkassk, and later, when the Don Metropolis was formed, he became a metropolitan. Where he remains to this day. Bishop Nikon (Mironov) The Ekaterinburg Bishop Nikon, besides, of course, money-grubbing, had one more sin (remember, in the late 90s there was noisy story on this occasion). ..... This behavior of the bishop caused indignation among both priests and laity. Carts were written up on Nikon. From the report of Abbot Tikhon to Patriarch Alexy II: ..... It must be said that the reports of the clergy had an effect: Bishop Nikon was removed from the Yekaterinburg see. And the clergy who wrote reports on the bishop, some were demoted, and some were removed from the staff altogether. Bishop Nikon was not demoted. After staying in the Pskov-Pechersky Monastery, he became rector of the Church of the Assumption in Veshnyaki. In 2008, Nikon was already awarded the Order of St. Sergius of Radonezh, II degree, which was presented to him by Patriarch Alexy II. And in 2010, Nikon received another church award - a church award - panagia “in connection with the 50th anniversary of his birth and in gratitude for his work.” It is clear that clergymen with sins are controlled and are entirely in the power of the patron. But such ministers distract parishioners from the church worse than any atheistic propaganda. In the 60s - 70s, one of the ways the Soviet government fought against religion was this: on prominent church positions, councils for religious affairs moved people who were morally flawed: money-grubbers. drunkards, womanizers... One gets the impression that the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church, even though the fight against religion is over, is now religiously following the instructions of the Soviet Councils for Religious Affairs... Metropolitan of Rostov and Novocherkassk Mercury (Ivanov Igor Vladimirovich) repairs lawlessness and restores order as he pleases, appointing young undereducated twenty-year-old boys, whose priestly service experience is 2-6 months, to the positions of rectors of churches. Sretensky and Pokrovsky churches in the city of Rostov-on-Don are striking examples... Ancient councils decreed that only persons with at least 30 years of age should be appointed priests, and only those with 25 years of age as deacons. In the Russian Church, the Vladimir (13th century) and Stoglav cathedrals established the age of 30 years for becoming a priest, and 28 years for becoming a deacon. In 1869, it was confirmed by a new decree of the Synod that “if possible” persons with at least 30 years of experience should be appointed to the priesthood, and to deacons - 25 years of age. Believers are perplexed by the decision of Lord Mercury to remove from the post of rector of the temple the hegumen (a monk-priest who dedicated himself to serving God), who from scratch built a beautiful, large temple with donations from parishioners, decorated it, practically finished painting the temple, created a Sunday school, whose talented children take first place in Orthodox Olympiads, the choir is sung by super professionals with unique voices. The rector father (abbot Vsevolod) was engaged in the spiritual education of teachers, schoolchildren, doctors, convicts, helped the sick, and provided financial assistance to people in need of complex, expensive operations. What can the newly-minted “priest” teach the parishioners? What to say to children in Sunday school who are so used to their spiritual father? It seems that the Lord did not think. The Holy Intercession Church of the city of Rostov-on-Don, which is located in the largest cemetery in Europe, is a special place. Here people go on their last journey in life, find eternal peace, and need especially strong prayer. Spiritual life should not become secular. Now in Rostov churches they even started selling water (20 rubles a bottle). It is impossible to turn churches into shopping complexes selling coffins, fences, and other things, in order to extract additional profit from believers for their own needs. The Lord said: “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you have turned it into a den of thieves...” Many parishioners throughout the city are dissatisfied with the Vladyka’s decision to remove Abbot Vsevolod (Ponich) from his post as rector, sending him out of office. Many people don’t want to come to the Holy Church anyway, seeing how the priests behave (they build palaces for themselves, buy expensive cars, or even behave completely inappropriately). We must understand that there are priests who came to earn money (for palaces, cars, etc.), to profit from old women who bring a pretty penny to God, and there are spiritual fathers who came to enlighten, teach the commandments of God, and guide us on the true, righteous path. Let us not despair, because there are still good shepherds! Let's not confuse good and evil, let's learn to separate the "wheat from the chaff"! Keep the Orthodox faith! Graduated in 1981 high school. From 1981 to 1982 - a nurse at a regional hospital. From 1982 to 1989 - student at the Leningrad Pediatric Medical Institute. Received the specialty of a pediatrician.

On May 5, 1996 he was appointed rector of the building under construction cathedral Christ the Savior in Kaliningrad. By the decree of the Patriarch and the Holy Synod of December 28, 1999, Abbot Mercury was determined to be Bishop of Zaraisk, vicar of the Moscow diocese, Administrator of the Patriarchal parishes in the USA. On February 5, 2000, in the Epiphany Cathedral in Moscow, Archimandrite Mercury was named Bishop of Zaraisk, Vicar of the Moscow Diocese. On February 6, 2000, he was consecrated Bishop of Zaraisk, vicar of the Moscow Diocese, and appointed administrator of the Patriarchal parishes in the USA. The ordination, in the Epiphany Cathedral in Moscow, was performed by: His Holiness Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow and All Rus'; Metropolitans of Minsk and Slutsk Filaret (Vakhromeev), Patriarchal Exarch of All Belarus, Krutitsky and Kolomna Juvenaly (Poyarkov), Smolensk and Kaliningrad Kirill (Gundyaev), Solnechnogorsk Sergius, Volokolamsk and Yuryev Pitirim; Archbishops of Pskov and Velikoluksky Eusebius, Tver and Kashinsky Victor; bishops Bronnitsky Tikhon, Baltic Panteleimon, Orekhovo-Zuevsky Alexy, Krasnogorsky Savva.
