Patriarhia spune că nu a fost consultată pe tema proiectului AUR privind Ziua Drapelului și critică propunerile „neîntemeiate liturgic și canonic”

The Romanian Patriarchy was not consulted on the draft law regarding the National Flag Day and criticizes its liturgical and canonical basis. The proposed law, initiated by AUR and supported by various political parties, includes fines for officials who refuse to kiss the flag and establishes a specific prayer for ceremonies. The Patriarchy's spokesperson expressed concerns about the lack of adherence to established liturgical practices and the inclusion of non-clerics in performing blessings. They plan to submit clear proposals for amendments to ensure the project aligns with Christian teachings and practices.
