<p>The commission also identified senior Roman Catholic clergy and Muslim leaders who had been communist secret service agents or who had collaborated.</p>
<p>Not among the Bulgarian Orthodox Church names was that of Patriarch Maxim, the church&#8217;s spiritual leader, who has headed the church for more than 40 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last time, Russia switched over to “summer time”. Clocks throughout the country went ahead one hour at 02.00 local time. On 8 February, President Dmitri Medvedev announced a decision to cancel the autumn transition to “winter” time later this year. Dmitri Anatolyevich noted that when the time switches back and forth, it violates the natural biorhythms of people and animals, it has a negative effect on health, and it isn’t economically justified. The first time that seasonal time variations were used was in the UK in 1908. Then, other countries followed suit. The idea of ​​saving energy by moving the clock ahead originated with the famous American statesman Benjamin Franklin, one of the authors of the US Declaration of Independence. In 2010, more than 100 countries had a variation between “winter” and “summer” time. In equatorial areas, such transitions were never implemented, for the length of the day is more uniform there throughout the year. For various reasons, Japan, China, South Korea, Georgia, and some Central Asian CIS republics opt-out of seasonal time variations, as well. Economists have long argued that the time switch brings economic benefits. However, in response, scientists stated that negative health effects neutralised all the positive effects. In Scandinavia, after the time change in Sweden, researchers found an increased number of fatal accidents. In Russia, for several years there’s been a discussion of abolishing the time change, but President Medvedev’s decision was still sensational. If, now, it’s almost imperceptible, in the winter, those who go to Europe will feel the difference. There, despite controversy, such a reform hasn’t yet been adopted, so, every six months, the difference between Russian cities and European capitals will change by one hour.</p>

<p>Unii oameni pur si simplu nu pot gindi in fata camerelor de filmat, altii gasesc greu resurse sa articuleze o idee sau sa inteleaga una articulata intr-un mod care nu le este intrutotul familiar. Tot atit de adevarat e si faptul ca esantionul de mai sus nu e cu adevarat reprezentativ: realizatorii au ales si montat in cascada doar cazurile convenabile pentru a zugravi o imagine caricaturala a felului in care inteleg romanii sarbatorile religioase. Cu toate acestea, am intilnit eu insumi (in comunitati rurale din Prahova) o sumedenie de oameni de acest fel si, uneori, am sentimentul neplacut ca se afla pretutindeni.</p>

Autorii își propun să evoce o slujbă în Sfântul Munte &#8220;cu cuvintele lor&#8221;. Iată ce-a ieșit:</p>
<p><em>Într-o atmosferă încărcată de misticism, generată, în penumbra din interiorul bisericii, de incantaţia tulburătoare venită parcă de dincolo de spaţiu şi timp, amplificată de mirosul dulceag de mir din aer, Preasfinţitul Părinte Ambrozie, alături de un ales sobor de preoţi şi diaconi, a săvârşit Sfânta Liturghie Arhierească, ocazie cu care a rostit şi un cuvânt de învăţătură în care a subliniat frumuseţea duhovnicească a vieţii monahale din Sfântul Munte. Aici, monahii se adună în biserică ştiind că nu sunt singuri, ci împreună cu toţi îngerii şi sfinţii, slăvind pe Dumnezeu.</em></p>
<p>Sigur că putem înțelege emoția naratorului. Dar, potrivit Dictionarului explicativ al limbii române, <a href="http://dexonline.ro/definitie/incantație" target="_blank">incantația</a> este:</p>
<p>INCANTÁȚIE, incantații, s.f. (Livr.) Formulă magică, cântată sau recitată (pentru a obține un efect supranatural). ♦ Fig. (Stare de) încântare; farmec, delectare.</p>
<p>Dacă îmi îngăduiți o părere, cred ca acest pasaj e mai degrabă o expresie a alienării omului contemporan, care încearcă să compenseze prin ditirambi si artificii o carență duhovnicească esențială.</p>
