The latest session of the Holy assembly of archbishops of SPC (the SPC supreme body, made up of all the archbishops) that was held in mid-May this year resulted in calling to attention all the problems that Serbia is confronting nowadays, where "abortion and infanticide" are at the top of the list.
Therefore, with the help of SPC - with no discordant voices from within the church, and with the seemingly unanimous support of its hierarchy, the program of the re-establishment of Greater Serbia is being renewed, a program that was at the root of the post-Yugoslav wars of the 1990's.
Having accused all the critics of SPC (individually, especially the theological writer Mirko Djordjevic) of being concealed communists, Atanasije presented his program of spiritual renewal: in his opinion, nationalism is not only justifiable, but also indispensable: those who are not nationalist have betrayed their people and lineage and advocate alienation.
