#FamilyReferendum Father Necula: We are boycotted nation, no winning majority

The image advisor of the Metropolitan of Ardeal -The Orthodox Archbishopric, priest Constantin Necula believes this referendum does not mean the victory or the defeat of someone, but the fact that "we are a boycotted nation" and that now it is a very good time for Romania to redefine its future "even if it is a painful one."

"I think this was a democracy exercise some people gave up on and have tried to clarify their own shortcomings, the others tried and have managed to clarify their helplessness. We are at a new identification point of our human and cultural horizon. I hope from all my heart that we handle the grudges born in the meantime, that we alleviate them so that we can start shaking hands in the street once again. However, there will be tears that will never heal, I am aware of that. And I believe it is a good time, a very good time for Romania. It can redefine its future, even if it is a painful one and we will all have to learn to live by the requirements that this future proposes to us," Constantin Necula told AGERPRES.

Father Constantin Necula specified that when talking about that "there will be tears", he is referring to "people who preferred to forget the Creed for two days and preferred to place above any kind of thinking related to the interest of social morality, socializing in the name of the social ethics."

"This was not voting, but rather scrutinizing the horizon and I believe, as far as I am concerned, there is no winning majority here, this is why I said we are a boycotted nation, a nation that has reaffirmed positions it never had. (...) Let God help us stay united in the important things we have to accomplish," the Metropolitan of Ardeal's image advisor concluded.AGERPRES(RO - author: Isabela Paulescu, editor: Marius Fratila; EN - author: Simona Iacob, editor: Maria Voican)
