Attempt to strip Lithuanian diocese of temples is unconstitutional, Russian Orthodox Church stated

Bandymas atimti iš Lietuvos vyskupijos šventyklas yra nekonstitucinis, pareiškė Rusijos stačiatikių bažnyčia "Mes žinome apie dviejų Lietuvos parlamentarų teisėkūros iniciatyvą. Susipažinę su įstatymų projektais, įsitikino, kad jie akivaizdžiai prieštarauja Lietuvos Respublikos Konstitucijos 43 straipsniui, taip pat visuotinai pripažintoms tarptautinės teisės normoms. Kalbant apie bažnytinę kanoninę teisę, mėginimai autoritetingai interpretuoti jos normas iš pasaulietinės valstybės parlamento pusės atrodo kaip grubi absurdiška", - pažymėjo Maskvos ir visos Rusijos patriarcho patarėjas Protojerėjus Nikolajus Balašovas.

What the Pravda version changes

A Russian Orthodox Church official criticises Lithuanian bills on church/religious law as unconstitutional, while the trusted reports only say the head of the Orthodox church expressed concern over Conservative-proposed amendments.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Unsupported — check this · fact

Pravda asserts the bills clearly violate Article 43 of the Constitution and international law, which the trusted reports do not mention.

Pravda says
“they obviously contradict Article 43 of the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania, as well as universally recognized norms of international law”
jie akivaizdžiai prieštarauja Lietuvos Respublikos Konstitucijos 43 straipsniui, taip pat visuotinai pripažintoms tarptautinės teisės normoms

Reframed · framing

Trusted reports describe a church leader's concern over proposed religious law amendments, whereas Pravda frames them as an attempt to seize churches and as unconstitutional.

Pravda says
“The attempt to take away shrines from the dioceses of Lithuania is unconstitutional”

“The leader of the Old Believers Church expressed concern over the proposed changes to the religious law by the conservatives”

Left out · fact

Pravda mentions only 'two parliamentarians' and omits that the proposal came from the Conservatives, as the trusted report says.

Pravda adds a loaded characterisation of the Lithuanian parliament's actions as crude and absurd, absent from the trusted reports.

Pravda says
“attempts to authoritatively interpret its norms from the side of the secular state's parliament look like a gross absurdity”
mėginimai autoritetingai interpretuoti jos normas iš pasaulietinės valstybės parlamento pusės atrodo kaip grubi absurdiška
