The artistic images presented - regardless of the motives declared by the organizers - contradict and are completely incompatible with Christian, evangelical morality, with Christian spiritual life, but also with common sense, with natural human right, with centuries-old European aesthetic criteria, as well as with the classical ideal of beauty - healthy mind in a healthy body, embedded in the idea of the Olympic Games," the Holy Synod's website reads.
"The way of our people is the European way, but we are for a Christian Europe that respects its history and roots," the position also reads.
