The Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) has expressed “pastoral concern” regarding the Bucharest Pride parade scheduled for 2026. The Church argues that public displays of this nature may contribute to a weakening of spiritual values within Romanian society. This statement comes after a recent Bucharest Pride event took place on Saturday. BOR officials cited existing societal challenges, including demographic decline and social instability, as reasons for their apprehension. They encouraged members to prioritize and reinforce Christian values within their families. The Church believes such events could exacerbate confusion regarding core beliefs. The statement represents the BOR’s official position on the planned demonstration.
