Now that the fast is winding down and we get ready for The Feast of the Dormition of Our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, let's remember the Mother of our Savior and all that she has done for us. Her intercession can move mountains and she sits at the right hand of her Son...

This makes no sense-expressing a coherent thought with clarity obviously not your thing

I didn't want to open a new Post and will just put it here. I ran across this very interesting brief discussion about how the exorcists are having a harder and harder time of it lately.

The battle of Truth & Power in this post-modernist age? Quite right Rus. I have three main critiques of this present age. First, I dont like this focus on Self-everything is me, me, me. Peter Theil has rightly identified it as an obsession with interiority. Secondly, I dont like how the entire...

Father, Im not quite following you here when you say "real power". It was on this day 77 years ago that we commemorate the horrific atomic bomb devastation on Hiroshima. That, to me, is real power. We have incompetent, idiotic leadership here in the West picking a fight with two nuclear...

We can also come at this Truth vs Power conflict, in our post-modernist society here in the West, by using the existential categories of Being & Becoming. Or again, we could use the Ought & Is distinction, Apollo & Dionysius, Yin and Yang or just plain ol' Good & Evil. It all points to the...

Yes, great point and there is no doubt He and his minions are behind much of the Power grab we see today.

Indeed. Yet Truth, for the most part, is concealed from us. We must dig for it, pray, fast, study, sweat and bleed and then if we're lucky, we might get a glimpse. What is a mystery but a Truth, akin to the Garden of Eden, from which humanity has forever been banned. In fact, the Essence of...

This dichotomy of Truth and Power represents an insight into an aspect of the fundamental human condition-ever since Cain picked up that rock against his brother. No small wonder, for the world that rejects Christ rejects the unity found in him. If we yield to the worlds version of the...

In today's Western crisis of modernity, we are witnessing the clash of Power and Truth as dramatically embodied in the confrontation between Christ and Pontius Pilate. For Truth today has been sacrificed by the so called “elites” for the expression of Power. We see this for example when the...

What's missing in this discussion is that Russia holds all the cards because their military and Allies are crushing the Ukrainians with only a Special Military Operation. They are using only 10-12% of their military personnel in this operation and are able to rotate them in and out for refitting...

NATO Expansion: What Gorbachev Heard | National Security Archive

Let us not forget the massive role, in this spiritual warfare, that the Patriarch of Constantinople has played to inflame the divisions between East and West. "The practice of Church Tradition in the fight with heresies and schismatics that threaten the unity of the Church is never just protest...

Above the Royal Doors in my humble church, the words "Christ is Risen" prominently resounds for all to see and ponder. During Divine Liturgy, on one particular Sunday, these words captivated my attention and I began to meditate upon its meaning. The focus of my inquiry soon led me to to the word...

The outrage against Russian aggression, as near as I can tell, is based upon moral principles which says, approximately, that a larger nation ought not invade a weaker smaller one. Ironic, since we have been told ad nauseum that all morals & truth are relative anyway. On what basis then does the...

The speech of Hungary's PM Viktor Orbán at the 31st Tusványos camp 2022 | Fully subtitled in English The most solid leader on the world stage today, PM Orban presents an excellent analysis of the of the great spiritual War we find ourselves in today.

Alas, AB Elvis has supporters in, surprise surprise, academia! In this essay the Rev. Dr. Nicholas Denysenko, argues it was the right pastoral decision for the baptism. To me he undercuts he argument immediately in the second sentence: "Reactions to the news of the baptism of children of a...

There was a sentence that struck me rather hard and captured my attention: "It (1 John 3:23 verse) does not only command us to love but to believe in the Lord, and in such a way that faith is the source of love." I would have believed it the other way round: love as the source of Faith. After...
