Summary/Abstract: In the context the traditional values specific to the Romanian society tend to be lost, I considered it useful to present my opinion, during the symposium dedicated to “Freedom of expression and faith”, on the current challenges regarding the content of the sermon in the Orthodox worship. I consider such an analysis useful, given the increasingly shrill voices of different sexual and non-sexual minorities who are shouting their own “rights”, making valuable judgments about how Christians should relate to the various paradigm shifts and how they should not react, because if they do, they will be categorized as backward, obsolete, retrograde, etc. In other words, we, as Romanian citizens and at the same time Christians, must passively accept the education of this nation to whom we belong, in all forms and positions by the promoters of a new way of life, which does not correspond to us at all.
