Metropolitan Kirill of Kazan and Tatarstan addressed the conference on piety. According to him, it is piety that should be the foundation of religions.
"Piety should be the foundation for religions. We need to bring piety, righteousness, something that is necessary for everyone, back into our lives. There is the pursuit of knowledge, the pursuit of comfort, but there is no pursuit of righteousness in our lives."
