Once again Mr. Jim Jatras, who I've recommended in the past, has written a very perceptive article which deals with the "Western Campaign against Orthodoxy." I highly recommend taking the time to read it. The "enlightened" Western Powers will not tolerate anything that does not bow before their totalitarian doctrines. One is not free to …

The Powers Who Pull the Strings
A blessed New Year to all! Once again, more evidence emerges which clearly indicated that the U.S. State Department is one of the real powers behind the Ecumenical Patriarch's anti-Church actions in Ukraine. Mike Pompeo, current Secretary of State, is set to be in Ukraine and will be meeting with leaders of the false church …
The New Epoch and the Loss of Personhood and Self-knowledge
“We must speak with children about the dangers of temptation. Toward the end of the 1950s a new epoch dawned in Europe, and two misfortunes came quickly upon us: the post-Christian era and globalism, along with the erosion of faith and the crumbling of morality. Now that I have reached old age I have begun …

The Night of no Return
“What you are going to do, do quickly” Jn. 13:27 The above words were spoken to Judas on the night he betrayed his Lord. Earlier in the Gospel of John, it was revealed that Judas was a thief and would steal money from the moneybag (Cf. Jn. 12:6ff). Our Lord long-suffered with Judas. The Lord …
The Geopolitics of a Fading Kingdom

Even those who strove to wrest history from God's governance, such as the Communists in Russia as a radical example, have ultimately only …
Of What Unity Do You Speak?
The executive committee for what is called the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America (that's a mouth full!) met recently and issued a statement which reaffirmed their commitment to Orthodox unity in the U.S. - The Executive Committee of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of …
The Protocol of the Court Case between Western Society and Christ
The West is not failing but has failed. All its promises of freedom, happiness, rights, equality and so forth have been found to be but lies and falsehood. I live in one of the golden experiments of European “values” – America. The festering wounds of “freedom” from God begin to bear more and more fruit, …

Firsthand Reflection
I have just returned from a two and a half week trip to Ukraine. Although the trip entailed personal factors, one of my goals was to acquire a firsthand experience of the ongoing situation in Ukraine, specifically regarding the Church. To this end, I was blessed to have the opportunity to speak with some of …
Aspirations of Global Dominion
Those who read my blog know that a theme that I revisit on a frequent base is that of the events transpiring in Ukraine. These events have many long years of development. Although there are many aspects to the events there, I have focused mainly on the implications with regard to Orthodox Christianity. The Orthodox …
With Whom to Stand?
There is, generally speaking, in the Western world a sad silence that reigns with regard to topics like the persecution of Christians. One such example in recent decades has been the mass persecution and destruction of Christian populations in the Middle East. A number of years ago I gave a small talk in which I …
