He wasn't smart enough not to get re-entangled with the world :sad:

getting honored by the President of the United States has nothing to do with being entangled with the world. even just looking from an Orthodox PR move, stuff like this makes us look good in a world that values social justice highly. so from that POV, it was a brilliant move.

plus, the saints have always stood against injustice as far as the Church goes.

Fr Hopko once said that we Orthodox are political radicals, in the sense that we profess a Kingdom that at once both embraces the people and rejects the swath of the political spectrum.

in other words, a libertarian and a socialist can be devoutly Orthodox, and yet Orthodoxy will never embrace those ideologies.
