Widows should never remarry
Widowed women should never remarry and should stay faithful to their late husbands until the end of their days, Andrey Tkachev, an archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), has declared. The senior cleric made the remarks during a sermon, urging widowed women to emulate Xenia of Saint Petersburg, a 19th century 'fool-for-Christ' who was canonized and became a patron saint of the city. The woman surrendered all her possessions to the poor after her husband's death and spent some 45 years wandering the streets, usually wearing the military uniform of her late spouse. 'Here is a woman who got married once, never gave herself to anyone else a second time, never put on eye makeup again, buried her husband and buried her heart with him and gave her soul and body to God, and became a saint, who now helps everyone,' Tkachev stated. There are currently 'many widows' who are 'different' and 'lustful,' Tkachev said, suggesting that such women have 'died alive.' Righteous women, however, stay faithful to their late husbands, the archpriest said. 'Since there is no death, the husband will look from the other world, and that would be shameful. A blanket does not hide a person from the eyes of God and from the eyes of the people living there,' he added. Born in the Ukrainian city of Lviv, Tkachev used to head the missionary department of the Kiev diocese of the ROC. The priest is well-known in Russia for his fierce preaching style and has repeatedly made controversial remarks in his sermons. Earlier this year, Tkachev condemned families with only one child as 'depraved gophers' and accused them of engaging in sex for pleasure rather than for the sake of procreation. The cleric assigned the blame for the situation primarily to men, claiming that women universally want to have children. 'She will still want to give birth. She will cry with envy, seeing her peers with husbands and children, and herself – empty, useless… looking out the window with a hangover,' Tkachev stated. In another sermon in January, the priest suggested that Ukrainian attacks with Western-supplied weapons on Russian cities were actually God's punishment for rampant abortions. The priest claimed the procedure claims more lives than warfare, even during wartime. 'It is because of depravity that wars occur. The Lord punishes us with these HIMARS or SCALP [missiles] that fly over our cities,' Tkachev suggested, adding that 'there will be no peace until we repent.'

Tipp's Jackson Davis has 2 TDs, Dayton falls to Cincinnati 20-14 in 3rd annual MVFCA-SWOFCA All-Star Game
CINCINNATI, Ohio (WDTN) – Tippecanoe's Jackson Davis hauled in 2 touchdowns in Dayton's 20-14 loss to Cincinnati during the third annual MVFCA-SWOFCA high school senior All-Star Game at Roger Bacon on Friday night. 'I'm super excited to be here with some great coaches and a bunch of great players from the Dayton area, just competing and going after. It's a great time. I have great teammates, so it just feels great to cap off my high school career with this game,' said Davis. The Queen City all-stars took an early 12-0 lead, but the Gem City answered right back. Greeneview quarterback Alex Horney hit the Red Devils' star wide receiver, Davis, on a slant across the middle for Dayton's first score of the game. After a crucial interception by Carlisle's Blake Lawson, Xenia quarterback Gavin McManus marched the Miami Valley down to the redzone and finished the drive with another passing strike to Davis for his second TD to put MVFCA ahead 14-12. But in the final moments of the second quarter, a costly pass interference penalty on the Gem City gives the Queen City a free untimed down and they capitalize with the go-ahead touchdown to take a 20-14 lead. After halftime, officials would call the game due to thunderstorms in the area, giving Cincinnati its second straight win over Dayton in this renewed rivalry to lead the series 2-1. The 2026 MVFCA-SWOFCA will return to the Dayton-area with the next host site TBD. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
