Our minds have been so darkened by the fall that we can scarcely tell good from evil, and many are deceived about the nature of those who are God's true servants. We can't see things and people as they truly are without the light of God. This takes repentance the likes of which few endeavor to undertake. It is the narrow Way of denying oneself, of losing one's life in this world so that Eternal Life is found: "Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent."Except, provably, nothing about your 'nativity' day is true.
And the words of an ancient antisemitic (if they are even his words) should influence me how?
If they called Christ a blasphemer, and a servant is not greater than his Master, then why wouldn't Christ's servant be called an anti-semitic, just because he denounced those who were obeying the directives of demons to introduce various lies and practices that would bring spiritual ruin to many members of the Church entrusted to his care as bishop?
