The Faith of Love Versus the Religion of Ideology

Empathy versus Pathology

The Church is based on Empathy, that is, on Love for all people in order to transform and transfigure us all. Empathy may be called an anti-ideology, for it follows the Word of God in the Book of Love. This is not composed of narrow human rules.

However, there is also Pathology, that is, that which is based on a self-justifying crutch which deforms and disfigures people. Pathology always hides behind an ideology, nationalist, political or psychiatric. That is composed of narrow human rules.

Pathological Bishops Replace Authentic Bishops

For example, in the 1980s there were three convert Orthodox archbishops in the Russian Church in Europe, two were sectarians, unable to accept the mainstream Orthodox Church, and the other an academic dreamer, only happy with his books, but who also pretended to be Russian. All of them were fake, ‘more Orthodox than the Orthodox’, on account of their inferiority complex of being born just before or when the Nazi regime came to power. Therefore, they had to seek a self-justifying crutch as their pathological ideology. They adopted the Russian Orthodox Church, behind which they tried to hide.

Today, we have to deal with bishops who suffer from a different pathology, that of being narcissistic closet homosexuals. Therefore, their actions are based on jealousy, filling them with hatred and vengeful punishment. As fakes, they always lose control, their jealousy of the normal become passive-aggressive, vindictive and spiteful, because of their sense of entitlement as ‘superior’, when in fact they are inferior. Once they have been seen through, they slander and malign, telling blatant lies. In denial of their reality, they choose the Orthodox Church as their pathological ideology, behind which they try to hide.

Theology not Pathology

The words of God are known as Theology. The words of man are known as Anthropology. But the words of sick men are known as Pathology. Those words do not belong to the Church, but belong to the psychiatric hospital. For from the pathological comes not healing, but the sickness of ideology.

Conversely, theology gives healing, as it answers the innermost questions of the soul, satisfying its spiritual needs. Only God can do this through His own, who reflect His Word like a mirror. For our task is to clean and polish the mirror of our souls, not to sully them with the sickness of ideology.

 

Will Religion Triumph Over Faith?

When the Son of Man comes, will He find Faith on earth?

Luke 18, 8

 

Some might be surprised by the above title. This is because they have not yet understood the difference between Religion and Faith.

Religion is an artifice, the opium of the people, a primitive, idolatrous, manufactured, State-manipulated substitute for Faith.

Faith is the spiritual experience of the Divine Spirit, the inward illumination by the Holy Spirit, which softens the heart, which transfigures the mind and so converts the will. In the first century the Apostle Paul spoke of this experience when he was taken up into the seventh heaven, as did St Symeon the New Theologian some 950 years later, as did St Silouan the Athonite some 950 years after that. As did all the saints in all the ages.

Today they are preparing for the Coming of Antichrist by replacing Faith with Religion, for only when Faith has been destroyed can Antichrist come. Thus:

Hinduism is being replaced by Indian nationalism

Buddhism is being replaced by racism.

Islam and Judaism are being replaced by the hatred and violence of ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’.

Roman Catholicism is being replaced by sexual perversion and pedophilia.

Protestantism, with its Puritanical fear and hatred of womankind and so witch-hunts, as though sexual attraction were unnatural and in fact the only possible sin, is being replaced by Anti-Puritanism, which is endless sexual depravity and gender confusion in the name of ‘equality’.

Only Atheism need not be replaced, for Atheism denotes that you have given up the struggle anyway.

To ask ‘Will Religion Triumph Over Faith’? Is tantamount to asking, ‘Will Antichrist triumph over Christ?’ The answer is the same: Of course not.

Yes, today they are preparing for the Coming of Antichrist by replacing Faith with Religion, by altogether removing the Holy Spirit from human life, the millennial temptation of the Western world. But after Antichrist will come Christ. And His are the last words and the last acts in history, which make all else that came before them utterly irrelevant.
