"I couldn't believe it and thought it was AI-generated - what we're seeing. In general, his views are a serious revision of the dogmas of the Orthodox faith. On the other hand, he directly and aggressively opposed one of the main themes from the prayer that everyone knows: 'Deliver us from evil and spare us misfortune' - this cleric did. I believe that clergy should resolve their issues in the space designated for that purpose. I can only give an assessment. 'Deliver us from temptation' is one of the main postulates that every cleric should serve. 'Create temptation for the country' - these are not the words a cleric should say," stated Gia Volski, First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, in response to a question about Archimandrite Dorote Kurashvili.

For reference, today a diocesan commission session was scheduled at the Patriarchate, where the Patriarchate had summoned Archimandrite Dorote Kurashvili due to statements he made publicly. Dorote Kurashvili demanded to attend the commission session in the presence of the media, which the Patriarchate refused. Ultimately, the session did not take place. According to the Patriarchate, recent statements and public appearances by Dorote in the media reveal disciplinary, moral, and defamatory violations.
