How Can One Meet Someone Who Addresses Your Spiritual Parent, the Catholicos, by Their Given Name? - Sharmazanov

Member of the Republican Party's Governing Body Eduard Sharmazanov wrote: “The Catholicos is not only a spiritual leader for any clergyman but also a spiritual parent. Can you imagine a normal person, being called a parent, going to the office of someone who insults that parent, having coffee together, and continuing like that? It is inconceivable in the case of a decent person, isn’t it?

Now, how can one go to meet someone who addresses your spiritual parent, the Catholicos, by their given name, while addressing a clergyman by their given name is an even worse insult? Those bishops who have not publicly supported the Catholicos nor criticized the person occupying the Prime Minister's office for the surrender of Artsakh and the anti-church campaign, I do not wish to comment on; everything has been clear with them for a long time. But you, bishops, who used to say about the Catholicos, 'he is my spiritual leader,' took vows of loyalty, and blamed Nikol for all sins, how can you still come out into public, pray… After all, it was you who proved to me that any step against the Catholicos is a step against the Armenian Apostolic Church. So now, are you the ones acting against the Armenian Church?

I, the sinner, have nothing else to say to you. Just know that Nikol Pashinyan cares a lot about you…
