Half a Century in the Orthodox Church in Western Europe (2)

Fleeing the Extremes

The first Christian Emperor was called Constantine. The last Orthodox Emperor was called Nicholas. He was overthrown in the so-called 1917 Revolution, that is, in the palace coup of the aristocratic traitors to the Tsar, orchestrated by the British ruling class. As a result, all the Orthodox Churches, which the Tsar had protected when still in power lost their protector and were called either to martyrdom or else to confessordom. Once infiltrated, the Churches had to resist either the CIA, by confessordom, or else of the KGB, by martyrdom and their earlier equivalents. (Earlier they had had different names, but they were still engaged in the same intrigues). Our balancing act has meant avoiding both these extremes. In our context this has not yet meant becoming martyrs, but it has meant becoming confessors.

Combating the extremes has on the one hand meant avoiding and combating globalism, liberalism, modernism, freemasonry and Vatican-style perversions and, on the other hand, avoiding and combating sectarianism, phariseeism, hateful censoriousness, political ultra-conservatism and Old Ritualist style obscurantism. Both extremes are marked by anti-Christian ‘bishops’, who are in fact thieves, homosexuals and pedophiles. Thus, we fought against the influence of the liberal modernists in the Orthodox Churches in the 1970s and 1980s and then against the sectarian pharisees in the Orthodox Churches in the 1990s and 2000s, until Russian Church unity was achieved in 2007. This was a victory over both extremes, a miracle. But the devil does not like miracles and those who announce that God is Love.

The devil attacked the Greek Church of Constantinople through nationalist racism, called ‘phyletism’ in Greek. However, he attacked the Russian Church, replacing faith and piety with the negativity of nationalist politics, which led to State-orchestrated ritualism, rigid militarism with its blind obedience and harsh punishments, instead of integrity. Professional choirs assured that everything was provided and the people were made passive, without responsibility. From there it was only one step to anti-clericalism. As they say in Russian, ‘mnogo popov, malo batjushek’, ‘there are many fake priests, but few real ones’. And so in the Russian Church, persecution always comes from the bishops. Thus, the Russian Church isolated itself and fell out of communion and catholicity with the 15 other Local Orthodox Churches.

The USA

Thus, our 2007 victory was to give us only temporary respite, a decade of peace. The programme of Americanisation, or more precisely of Trumpisation, of the American Synod of the Russian Church, known as ROCOR, began in 2017. It sent out its US agents to the still ‘unreformed’ (= normal and traditional) parts of ROCOR in Western Europe and Australia to transform these too into ignorant and arrogant convert crazy zones, like themselves, who yearned to create a rigid and ritualistic sect. This all coincided, and not coincidentally, with President Trump’s first term of belligerent Americanism and also with the second phase of the infiltration of ROCOR by the CIA. The latter activated its sleeping agents in the American Synod and recruited new ones, sending them out worldwide to what is an ecclesiastical NGO.

The Age of Trump also coincided with the consequences of the earlier activities of the notorious Mossad agents, Maxwell and Epstein, who worked hand in hand for the greater glory of worldwide Zionism. Epstein was before his murder the model psychopath: charming, superficially brilliant, very manipulative, narcissistic, a pathological liar, with no sense of empathy, a ruthless pervert and a cynical egomaniac. His psychopathic spirit became the standard for the Age and for the CIA agents in question. So much for the psychopathic narcissists of the USA and its Epstein regime. What of the other half of the Western world, Europe and the UK? Here we have not narcissistic psychopathy, but the creeping power grab of centralising Sovietisation, the old megalomaniac temptations of power and money.

Europe and the UK

Immediately after the fall of the SU (Soviet Union) at the end of 1991, the EU (European Union) was founded. The demons behind the former Union had simply fled westwards to an easier prey, the new Gadarene swine of Western Europe. Russia was no longer attractive, as it cast off the yoke of compulsory atheism. Thus, with the Treaty of Maastricht, signed in 1992, the EU became a geopolitical project. Instead of a trading community, it had become the political wing of militaristic NATO. The creeping centralising Sovietisation and Epsteinisation of the EU, obvious in its practices, was also clear in its vocabulary. Thus, the (European) Council is the translation of ‘Soviet’, the EU Commissioners mirror Soviet Commissars, the oligarchy mirrors the nomenklatura and the ‘narrative’ mirrors ‘the Party line’. SU = EU.

As for England, it continued on its historic cycle. In 597 it was converted to Christ from that Old Rome, which still openly condemned universal pretensions. In 1066 it was converted to barbarianism from Norman France, sponsored by the ideology of the new schismatic and ‘universal’ Rome, which stifled Christ with the Pope and England with Britain. In 1535 it was converted to anti-sacramentalism from Luther’s neo-pagan Germany. In 2004 it was converted to imperial delusions from Nazi Ukraine and its orange revolution. The cycle is repeated every 469 years. Today, the British Establishment is trying to revive its long-lost past glory, which was not glory, but shame. This imperialism is repeated all through the ex-imperialist Western European ruling class, nostalgic for its delusions of greatness.

The Collapse of Kiev Creates Regime Changes in the USA, Europe and the UK

What the ruling elites in both the EU and the UK have not understood is that all unions break up. The Soviet Union, the USSR, broke up. So did Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and now the Ukraine, so will Belgium, the EU, the UK, and quite possibly the US. The Four Nations of Britain and a reunited Ireland can work together, not in a Union or a Federation (which is a half-way house from a Union, as is the semi-Soviet Russian Federation), but in a Sovereign Confederation, the Ionan Confederation, IONA, the ‘Isles of the North Atlantic’. England must yet depose the British monarchs who have ruled it for so long, invited by the merchant-oligarchs of the City of London from Germany to become an Imperial House, but the Imperial Age is long over and so are they. A new Sovereign England must restore its own English Royal House.

As for the EU and the UK, they are entirely dependent on the black hole of the Kiev regime. They have bet everything on that loser, playing at the casino wheel of geopolitics, without knowledge and understanding, but with a fanatical and blinding, ever-expanding ideology of European unionism. But every time that Europe falls to union, and it is always a fall, whether under Napoleon, or Hitler, or the EU, it then sets about attacking Russia. ‘Europe’ always attacks European Russia, because Russia does not conform to the morally and financially bankrupt ideological narrative of the Eurocommissars. This is why they do not want peace. War is their self-justification, as only war gives them a unifying purpose. However, the Russian Federation frustrates them immensely, for it is playing the long game against the Kiev regime.

Moscow’s methodical advance by attrition, metre by metre, keeping its losses very low, is because it is awaiting the political collapse of Kiev, which will precede its military collapse. (This was why Germany, Britain and France, as Japan had tried in 1904-5, first brought about Russian political collapse in 1917, since political collapse always precedes military collapse). When political Kiev collapses, its army will have nothing left to fight for. Then, Russia will take over most of the old Soviet Ukraine at little cost, allowing Poland, Romania, Hungary and perhaps Slovakia to take back the far western fragments of Stalin’s Ukraine which used to belong to them, as they wish. And then there will be regime change, not in Moscow, but, ironically, in peace-hating Washington, London, Berlin, Paris and wherever Kiev Fascism was supported.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Triumph of Orthodoxy Over the Ten-Year Marketing Plan

You are new to the Church, very young, untrained and inexperienced, you know very little and you despise your fellow human-beings, because you consider yourself to be a ‘prince of the Church’. You are very vain, very ambitious, very manipulative and have a ruthless desire to make as much money as possible by first gaining as much power as possible. You have been put in control of some twenty scattered Orthodox churches, without any supervision. What do you do?

You have to make sure that no-one will stand in your way by expelling all opposition to your revolution. You must expel all those who predate you and hold the Tradition and whom you so despise. Then there will be ever fewer people of the nationality who used to attend those churches, as they feel that they are no longer catered for. As a result, those churches will empty. This suits you, since only once you have gained total control over them, can you asset-strip them. To do all this. you formulate a five-point, ten-year plan, backed up by a set of websites, which you control. The five points are:

  1. As you have no attachment to a root nationality, set yourself a sectarian and not national selling point, claiming that you exclusively represent the ‘One True Church’. All the others are worthy only of contempt and hatred because they have ‘compromised’ the Church, whereas you alone ‘have not’.
  2. Expel anyone of the nationality which those churches are supposed to cater for. They are too independent and despise your ignorance.
  3. Expel anyone who speaks the language or knows the history and culture of that nationality. They are too independent and despise your ignorance.
  4. Expel anyone with knowledge and experience of Orthodox Church life. They are too independent and despise your ignorance.
  5. Then you can replace them all by recruiting crazy newcomers, some of whom are perverts, who know even less than you and so can be manipulated easily. Ignorant, they will treat you as a guru, which is exactly what you need to assert in order to become an asset-stripping cult-leader.

You don’t care about the consequences of your marketing policy, the reduction of the Church to a sect and the human distress you cause to those who devoted their lives to the Church, of which you have deprived them. You don’t care because you will have returned abroad by the time others realise what you have done, taking your ‘winnings’ with you.

 

 

The Orthodox Churches: 200 Million Faithful and 75,000 Priests (Revised Statistics for 2026)

The Orthodox Churches form a family of Local Churches like the Churches of the Galatians, the Ephesians, the Romans, the Thessalonians, the Colossians etc, as described in the letters written to them by the holy Apostle Paul. Each of the Local Orthodox Churches has a main administrative figure, a chief bishop known as a Patriarch, or in the case of smaller Churches, a Metropolitan or Archbishop. However, the Church as a whole has no earthly head, because the head of the Orthodox Church is our Lord Jesus Christ. His authority is expressed in the Orthodox Churches through the Holy Spirit as revealed particularly through the Holy Scriptures, Church Councils and the Saints. Below you will find details of the currently 16 Local Orthodox Churches (the number is increasing) and their approximate sizes: Bishops: 957. Priests: 75,075. Parishes: 72,494. Monasteries: 2,758. Faithful: approx. 200,000,000.

Russia: Bishops: 382. Priests: 35,648. Parishes: 38,647. Monasteries: 972. Faithful: 149,000,000

This is the largest Local Orthodox Church and accounts for 70% of Orthodox. It cares for Orthodox living on canonical Russian Orthodox territory, spread over one fifth of the planet (the former Soviet Union except for Georgia, plus China and Japan) and peopled by over 62 nationalities, with autonomous (semi-independent) Churches in several countries outside Russia. Its territories include the Russian Federation, and, for the moment, the Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Transcarpathia (the main part of Carpatho-Russia), Kazakhstan, Central Asia and the Baltic Republics. The Russian Church also includes the autonomous Japanese Orthodox Church and the Chinese Orthodox Church, as well as Exarchates in Belarus, Western Europe, South-East Asia and Africa.

Romania: Bishops: 60. Priests: 15,068. Parishes: 15,717. Monasteries: 359. Faithful: 19,000,000

Also known as the Patriarchate of Bucharest, apart from in Romania and Moldova (Bessarabia) there are also many Romanian parishes in the Diaspora. This is especially the case in Western Europe, where the Autonomous Romanian Orthodox Metropolias in Western Europe have over four million faithful, ten bishops and 1,283 churches.

Greece: Bishops: 101. Priests: 8,515. Parishes: 8,000. Monasteries: 541. Faithful: 9,381,000

Under the Archbishop of Athens, this Church cares for all Orthodox in Greece.

Serbia: Bishops: 44. Priests: 3,000. Parishes: 3,100. Monasteries: 204. Faithful: 6,500,000

The canonical territory of the Patriarchate of Belgrade covers Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia. There are also many parishes in the Serbian Diaspora.

Bulgaria: Bishops: 15. Priests: 2,000. Parishes: 2,600. Monasteries: 120. Faithful: 4,091,000

The Patriarchate of Sofia covers Bulgaria and a number of churches in the Diaspora.

Georgia: Bishops: 47. Priests: 1,100. Parishes: 550. Monasteries: 172. Faithful: 3,097,000

The Patriarchate of Tbilisi covers Georgia and a small Georgian Diaspora.

Constantinople: Bishops: 125. Priests: 5,935. Parishes: 3,196. Monasteries: 56. Faithful: 3,050,000

This includes Greek Orthodox in Istanbul (about 1,000), those on Greek islands such as Crete and Rhodes (700,000), and above all the Greek Diaspora in the Americas, Western Europe and Australia.

Antioch: Bishops: 41. Priests: 408. Parishes: 496. Monasteries: 32. Faithful: 2,000,000

The canonical territory of the Arab Patriarch, who lives in Damascus, includes Syria, the Lebanon and Iraq.

Macedonia: Bishops: 14. Priests: 500. Parishes: 500. Monasteries: 20. Faithful: 1,610,000

This Church looks after Orthodox in North Macedonia and in the Diaspora, in Australia and elsewhere.

Alexandria: Bishops: 33. Priests: 250. Parishes: 750. Monasteries: 3. Faithful: 800,000

Although for historical reasons its Patriarch is a Greek and his appointment is in the care of the Greek government, this Patriarchate is in Egypt. It also cares for St Catherine’s Monastery on Mt Sinai, but most of its faithful are Africans in 54 African countries.

Cyprus: Bishops: 17. Priests: 600. Parishes: 628. Monasteries: 67. Faithful: 654,000

Under an Archbishop, this Church cares for all Greek Orthodox in Cyprus

The Czech Lands and Slovakia: Bishops: 6. Priests: 197. Parishes: 240. Monasteries: 4. Faithful: 170,000

Led by a Metropolitan, this Church cares for Carpatho-Russian, Slovak and Czech Orthodox, as well as large numbers of Ukrainian Orthodox immigrants.

Jerusalem: Bishops: 14. Priests: 50. Parishes: 50. Monasteries: 25. Faithful: 130,000

Although its Patriarch is a Greek and his appointment is in the care of the Greek government, the flock consists of Palestinian Orthodox in Palestine and the Jordan.

North America (OCA): Bishops: 14. Priests: 1,098. Parishes: 700. Monasteries: 20. Faithful: 100,000

This Church began from the descendants of Slav immigrants to North America from the old Austro-Hungarian Empire, but is now a multinational group, not recognised by all but destined to be part of a future Northern American Orthodox Church.

 

We would be grateful to readers for any revisions to the above: it is very difficult to obtain exact statistics, though above we have done our best.

 

 

The Rout of NATO in its Proxy War against Russia and the Crisis for the Russian Church

A fish rots from the head.

International Proverb

2022

Four years ago, on 24 February 2022, a small and underequipped Russian expeditionary force at last, eight years too late, went into eastern Ukraine to stop the western Ukrainian (Galician) genocide of eastern and southern Ukrainians. There, over 14,000 civilians, men, women and over 400 children, had already been slaughtered by Nazi fanatics from the western Ukraine, many others had been maimed. The Russian aim was to force the western Ukrainians, who had been put into power in Kiev by the USA by violence, into talks. They wanted Kiev to grant human rights to all citizens of the Ukraine.

Millions of mainly eastern Ukrainians had already fled to Russia to escape the genocide by Kiev. And millions of mainly western Ukrainians then fled to Western countries where they were welcomed for political reasons with free accommodation and generous welfare payments. These bankrupting measures made hard-working Western people very jealous. Those mainly western Ukrainians, often with luxury cars, had fled their quite safe homes and jobs in order to protect their sons, so that they would not have to die for NATO in the Ukraine.

The talks, agreed to almost immediately by terrified Kiev, were successful, but on 1 April 2022 the main Western clown intervened and forbade Kiev to make peace. The Russians were taken aback. In their extreme naivety (and also incompetence, corruption, military unpreparedness and stubborn refusal to listen to others), they had not thought that NATO would want to start a war to destroy the Russian Federation and that it would accuse Russia, by far the largest country in the world and with a relatively small population, of wanting to expand its territory!!!

And in their naivety (and self-centredness and inward-looking isolation) the Russians had never considered that millions of Ukrainians would have been so brainwashed by propaganda that they would be willing to die on behalf of anti-Ukrainian NATO against Russia. The result of this naivety was that in the autumn and winter of 2022 the small and underequipped Russian expeditionary forces were humiliated and had to retreat, giving back cities and land to the Ukrainians.

2023-2026

In 2023 the Russians were forced to go on the defensive against the crazy, British-planned attempt by Kiev to break through to the Sea of Azov and take back more land from the Russian forces. Then the Ukrainian equivalent of the whole British Army was destroyed, all for nothing. Russia does know how to defend itself. After six massive Collective Western invasions of Russia by Europeans over the last 425 years (and none of Europe by Russia), the Russians have learned how to defend themselves.

From then on, and throughout 2024 and 2025, the conflict became a war of attrition. Mountains and mountains of obsolete Soviet and very expensive, but also obsolete, NATO equipment were destroyed. 1.8 million Ukrainian troops were killed, seriously wounded, captured, or else surrendered. Hundreds of thousands more deserted. This was not least as a result of their futile and very costly invasion of the southern tip of the Kursk province of Russia, which turned into a trap for them, if it was not planned as such.

Meanwhile, Russophobic Western Europe, which had cut itself off from Russian oil and gas, had slid into recession and bankruptcy. The USA had to undergo regime change with Trump, in order to avoid bankruptcy and yet another humiliating defeat, as per Vietnam and Afghanistan. Trump hurried to plead for peace with Moscow, which was demilitarising not only the Ukraine, but also the whole Collective West. In order to meet its aims, declared quite clearly on 24 February 2022, Moscow would now have to denazify the Ukraine and, as a much more difficult aim, denazify that same Collective West.

Given the massive attrition of NATO’s Ukrainian forces, Russia’s vastly superior industrial and military might and very small losses (about 100,000), 2026 will probably end the conflict, liberating the whole of the Ukraine, with its whole eastern and southern half, Russian until 1922, returning to Russia. And this will mean the rout of NATO and consequently the collapse of the EU leadership, effectively creating a self-imposed regime change. Now, some cowardly Western European leaders are starting to plead with Russia for mercy and to restore the relations which they themselves destroyed. Too late, Western Europe declared war on Russia, not the other way round. Russia will surely ignore the West until it repents and apologises.

The Rout of the West

Europe’s outdated, badly designed, but vastly overpriced arms, tanks, drones and artillery have been used to try and destroy Russia, though Russia has never tried to attack Western Europe. Europe’s outclassed military equipment has burned on the steppes. Now the Age of Impunity is over for the West. It has demilitarised and destroyed itself by its hubris. Only European hubris imagined that Russia is not by far the largest economy in all Europe and the fourth largest in the world, but just a ‘third world’ economy with some oil and gas and a few obsolete missiles.

Russia is all too capable of incompetence (for example, as with the Wagner group), but when it is motivated, it is unbeatable. Bismarck knew that. And all Western invasions of Russia have always ended in victory – for the Russians, and in rout – for the West. Why not learn from history? Ask Napoleon, Hitler and Biden. Megalomania never wins. However, megalomania is also why the Soviet Union collapsed. Its megalomania thought that it could run a multinational, but highly centralised Union. It could not.

The extraordinary thing is that the European Union (started the day after the collapse of the Soviet Union) repeated the same error. So far two countries have left that European Union, Greenland and the UK, (much wealthier Iceland, Norway and Switzerland and pro-Russian Serbia and its satellites never even bothered to join). Hungary, Slovakia and other countries nearby and with similar histories will be the next to leave. Centralisation means atrophy. It happened in the Soviet Union – I saw it with my own eyes. Since 1992 centralisation, and so atrophy, has also happened with the ‘European Union’. I saw it with my own eyes.

The leaders of the European Union, living in a fairy-tale of delusion, wishful thinking, virtual reality and fantasy, have no ambitions, no innovations, no initiatives, no new industries, no new technologies, no social media, no satellite navigation, no AI, no clothing fashions, no popular music, no creative culture of their own. All is copied from the USA, of which Europe is a colony and vassal in every way, politically and economically, spiritually and morally, socially and culturally. The first part of Europe to fall will be the UK. This is a country that has been ruled by a treasonous, Globalist elite of Zionists, cocaine-riddled homosexuals and pedophiles ever since 1997, when a Zionist homosexual’s creation, ‘New Labour’, came to power. Their first act was to abolish the death sentence for treason, that is, for themselves. And then, quite naturally, they made patriotism into a crime.

America and Russia

The American elite believes (believes, because it is an article of faith for them) that their country is exclusive, superior and exceptional. This is because they inherited the intolerant and bigoted mentality of fanatical Protestants, who were often sexually perverted misogynists, who could not get on with their compatriots and so left England. And when the zealots and fanatics left, English people who stayed behind, said: ‘Good riddance’.

This is why most Americans have no understanding of Europeans, including of the English. Unlike them, we are flexible, not driven by a fanatical ideology or filled with gunslinging hatred. We got rid of the Calvinists. We do not want them back. Our flexibility is why, today, despite the present dictatorial regime in the UK, voted in by only 19% of the electorate, there will be transformations. The morally deeply compromised Starmer will have to go and King Charles, who protected his brother from prison, will have to abdicate, simply in order to save the monarchy.

Today we are witnessing the great Russian military victory in the Ukraine and the rout of the degenerate perverts of the Western European and the US elite. The perverts bet everything on their loser Zelensky, the most highly paid court jester in the world, whom they put into power, despite what was evident to almost everyone: that he could not speak Ukrainian or English and is incompetent. The Western neo-feudal, oligarchic elite, degenerate, corrupt and irrelevant, will be swept aside, even though it has existed not just for eighty years, but for centuries.

The moral bankruptcy of the West is now obvious to the whole world. The members of the Western elite are not even immoral, but amoral. They behave like animals. However, for Russia, military victory also means something else. To win a military victory is only the start. Then you have to win the peace. And here is Russia’s great weakness, neither its generals, nor its politicians, nor its industrialists, nor its economists, but the hierarchy of its national Church.

The Meaning for the Orthodox Church

In Orthodox Church life, the members of the Greek Church elite, still proud of an Empire which fell nearly 600 years ago (!), are racially exclusive, ‘phyletist’ in Greek, that is, obsessed by Hellenism. However, the members of the Russian Church elite are totalitarian, that is, their mentality is exclusive, they are national conformists, whatever your race. Thus, in Church terms, the Russians put themselves out of communion with the Greek Orthodox world and then lost the Ukraine, Moldova and the Baltic States. They are, in effect, schismatic.

Moreover, they are on the point of losing Belarus and Central Asia, not to mention the whole of the Diaspora. Here is the fruit of their political centralisation. People of different languages and cultures will leave you, unless you accept them and co-operate with them as a Family. We must give independence to our children, allowing them to live as adults, instead of holding them in a straitjacket, and treating them as though you were driving a Soviet tank over them. Here is the catastrophic Russian failure, which saddens all Orthodox.

In 2003 Patriarch Alexei II of Moscow, whom I knew, expressed the hope that the Russian Church in Western Europe would become the foundation of a new Local Church of Western Europe. He was a churchman who had been born in and grown up in the Russian emigration in Estonia. He expressed our great hope, which we had been waiting for ever since 1988. It was to be dashed. However, after Patriarch Alexei passed away in 2008, all went from possible to impossible in Moscow, for all understanding of Non-Russians ceased.  Russian nationalism set in. Thus, was lost the Ukraine and Moldova. The Russian Church Diaspora, composed largely of Moldovans, is also lost, as Non-Russians in the Diaspora are treated as third-class citizens, as Metropolitan Vladimir of Moldova has publicly and privately remarked to us.

Just as the Greek Orthodox Diaspora committed suicide through racism, so the Russian Orthodox Diaspora committed suicide through the totalitarian and centralising mentality of the Church elite. The breath of freedom is here, but the Russian Church elite has not yet noticed. Russia has won a huge military victory against the whole Western elite. But its Church elite has suffered a huge spiritual defeat: it only has itself to blame. Bishops who hate priests (especially those senior to them and more experienced than them), and detest women and children, are the ones to blame. There is an English proverb which says: ‘It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness’. The proverb of such Russian bishops says: ‘It is better to curse the darkness than to light a candle’.

 

Half a Century in the Orthodox Church in Western Europe (1)

Introduction: Nothing New Under the Sun

Apart from one year in Greece and several months in the Soviet Union, and then in Russia and the Ukraine, with brief visits to Orthodox in Moldova, Romania, Belarus, Czechia, Slovakia, Finland, Serbia and Bulgaria, I have spent 51 years as an Orthodox Christian in Western Europe, 41 of them as an Orthodox clergyman in Western Europe, in France, Portugal and England, but with liturgical celebrations in Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. My conclusions?

First of all, there is nothing new under the sun. This is because human nature does not change. Anyone who reads the Acts of the Apostles or the writings of the Church Fathers from the first centuries knows that all the difficulties and scandals of today have already occurred in the past. Of 80,000 Orthodox priests, I have perhaps met perhaps 1,000 and of the 1,000 Orthodox bishops, I have met about 100. I have never seen anything new compared to the past.

Seven Local Churches exist in the Western European Diaspora today: the Romanian, the Greek (Constantinople), the Russian (divided into three parts, one of which refuses to be in communion with another, so is in fact in schism, as well as the 100 new but independent parishes of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church), the Serbian, and then the three very small groups under the Churches of Antioch, Bulgaria and Georgia. Only the three first big Churches carry any weight in terms of the Diaspora Church as a whole.

The Three Big Churches in 1976

Fifty years ago, there were two Russian bishops in this country. As they were both Russian, they were, naturally, at daggers drawn and out of communion with one another. One was an anthroposophist (look it up), a great eccentric who believed in Atlantis. The other one was a notorious womaniser. A few English people were allowed to join the two Russian groups, usually provided that they learned some Russian. This was because both groups were rapidly dying out (1917, after which most of the still living but elderly Russians had come here, was nearly sixty years before 1976). Priests, very few of them lived outside London and they were also elderly, spent much of their time doing funerals.

Fifty years ago, the Patriarchate of Constantinople in this country was dominated by Greek Cypriots, whose lives were largely devoted to Hellenism. Most had arrived here between 1950 and 1974. A homosexual archbishop preferred to ordain his boyfriends and one of his vicar-bishops was a pedophile, who at that time got away with it. Of course, there was at least one bishop who was excellent and many very virtuous priests and pious people. However, the opening to non-Greeks was all but non-existent. From the archbishop down, English people were told to go away, at best being told to join the Church of England or else to learn Greek, ‘if you want to become a Greek’, at worst being told to ‘go away’ by one Cypriot priest, only in the most vulgar way possible in the English language.

Fifty years ago, the Romanian Church was more or less inexistent, as the whole country was controlled by the Romanian Secret Police.

The Three Big Churches in 2026

Today, the Russians remain in small groups here, small because they have all failed to pass on the Faith to locally-born children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and so on. No Russian group has learned how to cope with assimilation. Today, the larger (still small) group is 100% attached to the Russian Federation, politically and in all other ways, and is much compromised by scandals. The smaller group, dominated by American Trumpians, just encourages the crazies and so spawns old calendarists, just as the Russian Church inside Russia once spawned old ritualists, and is much compromised by appalling scandals. Another even smaller group just hangs on. All three groups are dying out – for all have survived largely because of immigration from Moldova. By far the saddest thing about the Russian Church is that it did not learn from history and so it has condemned itself to repeat the same mistakes as before the Revolution. Today, inside the ex-Soviet Union, the Russian Church strangely resembles the pre-Revolutionary Russian Church, with the same politicisation, the same militarisation, the same empty ritualism, the same inhuman rigidity, the same pharisaic and blind repetition that only they are ‘canonical’, the same blind obedience to the hierarchy and the State, regardless of Christ and His teaching.

Today, the Greek Patriarchate of Constantinople in this country, although still dominated by Greek Cypriots whose lives are largely devoted to Hellenism, has a very dynamic archbishop, whose English is better than his Greek, and who is desperately trying to save his archdiocese from self-extinction despite his elderly flock. As he said to us a few months ago, he has one hundred priests who are so old that they are likely to die within the next five years and three candidates to replace them. For forty years the previous administration ignored all the warnings that this would happen. The saddest thing about the Greek Church is that they did not learn from the suicide of the Russian Church, so they are condemned to repeat the same suicide and also die out.

The Romanian Patriarchate is today by far the largest Church as a result of the immigration of four to five million Romanians and Moldovans here over the last 20 years. Overall, our two Autonomous Romanian Orthodox Metropolias in Western Europe have 10 bishops, 1,283 churches and 30 monasteries, which makes them by far the largest Local Church in Western Europe. We are about four times larger than the Greek Patriarchate of Constantinople in Western Europe, five times larger than the Russian Church in Western Europe (most of which is composed of Romanian-speaking Moldovans) and incomparably larger than the tiny ROCOR and Antiochian dioceses, both with less than 100, mainly tiny (between 10 and 50 people), communities.

Conclusion: The Challenge for the Romanian Church

Between 1917 and 1962 by far the largest Diaspora Church in Western Europe, albeit divided into three warring groups, was the Russian Church. Between 1962 and 2007 by far the largest was the Patriarchate of Constantinople. But they both lost their dominating positions and indeed the respect of others, the Russians through their isolationist totalitarian politics, which excludes Non-Russians, and their lack of communion with others, the Greeks through their sheer racism. Today some 85% of Orthodox here are Romanian or Moldovan. Can the Romanians, now by far the biggest group, keep their position and the respect of others?

The Romanian Church has many devout clergy and people. It has the Carpathian spirit of solidarity. We are together in the Romanian Church, this is the People’s Church, with a sense of community, family and friendship. The Romanian language is a Latin language, written in the Latin alphabet. There is neither the politics, nor the military-style rigidity of the Russians, nor the racism of the Greeks. Moreover, and most importantly, the Romanian Church alone is in communion with everyone, in schism with no-one. However, the Romanian Church still faces two great challenges.

The first weakness of the Romanian Church, at least in Romania, is the temptation of money. Any Romanian layperson will tell you of a bad experience in Romania with a member of the clergy who demanded money from them. This is why some Romanians have become Protestants. I have not seen this temptation in the Romanian Diaspora, but we cannot be complacent. The second weakness of the Romanian Church is the potential lack of openness to others, in other words, the weakness of nationalism. To found a new Local Church in the Diaspora means to be open to others, to warring Greeks and Russians in particular, to be able to co-operate with others in a common language, accepting different languages, calendars and customs, and not imposing one’s own. Is this possible? Will it too fail to learn from history and repeat the errors of the Russians, repeated by the Greeks? We await the inevitable verdict of the history of the future.

 

 

‘The Vampires’ Ball is Over’: The Devil Rules Those Who Worship Him

‘The Epstein files have revealed the sheer devilish nature of the Western elite’.

Sergey Lavrov

Conspiracy theorists are still having a field day, all their favourite theories are tying together. The convicted pedophile, Epstein, does indeed turn out to be a trained Mossad agent, a Zionist who hates Non-Jews and apparent Baal worshipper, together with his convicted assistant Hoch (alias Maxwell), blackmailed and manipulated the rich and the powerful, the great and the bad, who came to him on his ‘Lolita Express’, that is: That remarkably stupid Globalist elite, billionaire, pedophile, pro-Ukrainian (the Ukraine being the global centre for prostitution and surrogacy), pro-Kosovan (Kosovo being the centre for organ harvesting and pedophilia), with its Great Neo-Feudal Reset via covid, sexual perversion and, it seems, blood rituals, the Epstein class were all there:

Trump and Melania, Bannon and the Clintons; the Rothschilds; Blair from Israel, the Prince of Darkness, Mandelson or ‘Mandy’, creator of the New Labour Party, with his Brazilian ‘husband’, Starmer, his Ukrainian boys and the ruthless McSweeney; the ex-Prime Ministers of Israel, Britain, Spain, Norway and Australia; corrupt and entitled European royalty led by Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Megan Markle, that easily exploitable fool Harry, and that in Norway; Gates, Musk, Thiel, Branson; Chomsky; a host of ‘celebrities’ such as Weinstein, Spacey, Jackson, Jagger etc; the Gaza genocide and the Ukraine genocide. All are linked – sexual perverts, paid academics, media men, liberals and extremists (of both sorts), who have so persecuted us these last fifty years. Can the corrupted US Uniparty oligarchy survive?

Can the British Establishment survive? The genocidal Norman ‘United Kingdom’, centred in Norman London, with its annexed Scotland, occupied Wales and Northern Ireland, and long-suffering England, its compromised German Royal Family, the political parties, the ridiculous Church of England (and the Church of Wales with its lesbian archbishop), the lieing and pedophile BBC, the failing and indebted infrastructure, rationed health service, infantilised education, bankrupt universities, Ukrainian-style potholed roads and ridiculed armed forces, all are collapsing in slow motion, all face meltdown. We have witnessed it ever since the UK became a full satellite of the USA in 1956, after the absurd, failed Anglo-Franco-Israeli attack on Sovereign Egypt: only the US had a right to an Empire and no-one else.

The UK increasingly resembles a banana monarchy, ruined by Epstein, who had the free run of the Royal Palaces, not to mention 10 Downing Street. The American settlers, all British in origin, threw off the oligarch-imposed German Monarch exactly 250 years ago. Are the peoples of the British Isles today about to do the same? Many dislike Charles, for they see him as responsible for the Diana tragedy. Should he not have been honest, refused to marry Diana and married Camilla and abdicating? A word of warning: if he had done so, we might now have King Andrew…Others say that Charles should abdicate now for protecting his pervert brother, thus leaving a blank sheet for William to start afresh…However, at this stage all minor changes seem like rearranging the deckchairs on the deck of the Titanic.

Indeed, the foreign Dynasty that began with a William in 1066 may end with a William in 2066 – or before. All things come to an end. It is time for a native Royal House to rise from the ashes. Surely it is time to dissolve this absurd and unwanted United Kingdom. freeing its last colonies, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England from British oppression. and restore the English Monarchy for England. And find also an English government, instead of the present, ever-shifting Globalist elite which has no love for England or the English, but love only for cocaine, sexual perversion, and contempt and hatred for us, ‘the plebs’. And time also to dissolve the absurd ‘Church of England’, an institution founded by a monstrous and murderous foreign King, only so that he could give himself a divorce.

President Putin has proclaimed that ‘the Vampires’ Ball is over’. If so, then he should start by cleansing the Russian Church. We await the cleansing of the Russian Church, with its pervert oligarch-bishops, inside and outside Russia, bishops who put ruthless politics above Christ and prefer visiting the Vatican to Moscow, having homosexual affairs, buying luxury ‘chancelleries’, or else playing poker in Panama. The Russian Church, with its Trump-chanting American Synod sect, CIA agents, who threaten, bluster, bully, hate, one of whom uses violence against bishops of Local Churches and has to be restrained, ignorant Protestant pietist zealots to the core, just like Trump. Those gun-loving men of violence, misogynists and sexual perverts, call him ‘My Lord’ at his order. They are all there, imitating their Trumpian idol.

 

The Fall of the West and the Path to Orthodoxy

For thirty long years, from 1992 to 2022, the ruling class of the Western Empire was able to act with impunity, it had a monopoly of power, for it lived in a multipolar world, without opposition. Those members of the ‘liberal’ Establishment could do whatever they wanted at that time and that is what they did: from asset-stripping the ‘Third World’, to buggering one another (having made that legal), to harvesting the organs of Kosovan Albanians, to pimping hungry and immoral Ukrainian girls (‘Russian brides’) (Epstein), or using them for surrogacy, and sodomising Ukrainian boys (a Prime Minister). After all, they believed in ‘liberalism’, meaning do whatever you want, rape and plunder others, both literally and metaphorically.

And inevitably, at the same time, as a result of its amoral liberal free for all, the all-powerful Western Establishment began to collapse. Having asset-stripped other countries under the name of ‘foreign investments’, they asset-stripped at home, under the name of ‘modernisation’ and ‘privatisation’. The collapse started with the revelations about Roman Catholic pedophilia, which soon led to the exposure of Anglicans and later spread to the American Synod, on the fringes of the Russian Church. Then, in general, to the political, royal, business and media elite. In other words, to all the parasites, as per Epstein. The barbarians were not at the gates, they were running the show, as they always had.

Their unipolar monopoly was destroyed by the rising again of Crucified Russia from 2000 on, once the Russian Church had begun canonising its New Martyrs and Confessors. That is why the Western elite hates Putin. He did not agree to the destruction of Russia through its disintegration and its asset-stripping and, moreover, he does not accept sexual perversions. The destruction of Russia was Hitler’s idea, repeated by Thatcher, with the genocide of Russians, sending the remaining forty million Russians to live beyond the Volga, thus sending back ‘the Asiastics’. This is why they invested in the anti-Russian Ukraine, whose ‘rare earths’ they want, and whose people would die for them ‘to the last Ukrainian.’

Amidst this moral chaos, there are those who search for some kind of morality and found, from the internet, the Orthodox Church. However, the vast majority of those do not want to come to Orthodoxy with an open heart, they are merely running away from the chaos of the West and its Baal worship: ‘Any port in a storm’ and to their imaginary ‘Warhammer’ Russia, for example. They are by mentality zealot Protestants who adopt an outward appearance of Orthodoxy, buying icons, incense and rosaries from online ‘souvenir shops’, growing long hair and beards, or in the few cases of women, putting on long skirts and wearing what look like tablecloths on their heads. Very few of them wish to become real Orthodox Christians.

Most of those who want the uniform, but not the battle, do not come to the canonical Orthodox Church, they go to fringe convert groups which promote extremist ideologies and persecute canonical Orthodox. There they find weird convert priests and bishops. These are often closet homosexuals and dislike families, women and children, not to mention the canons. That suits them and their phariseeism, which denies the Love and Truth of the Church. And that is good for us. We can continue our witness, uncontaminated by those who do not love us and the Church, but want to come to us only because they hate others. Such we do not need. We only accept the repentant into the Church. For nothing can be built on hatred.

 

 

The Return to Civilisation?

I want ordinary Western citizens to hear me: You are told to blame Russia for your problems. That is a lie. Your hardships are the result of your own elites’ greed and their selfish interests. We are not responsible.

President V.V. Putin, 3 February 2026

Introduction: The New Attraction to an Old Church

Like other Orthodox priests, two or three years ago, after the end of covid, I began to be contacted by young people. They were nearly all males under the age of thirty and some were only teenagers. They all wished to join the Orthodox Church, which they did not know, but had heard theories about in internet podcasts. I have always told them to start coming to church (none of them had ever been before), all our teaching and theology are in our services. However, most of them never want to set foot in a real Orthodox church. It is all an internet theory. Only a few decide to come to church and wanted to stay. Those I receive into the Church.

The Return

Over the last twelve months I have received four such inquirers, though only one under the age of eighteen, with the permission of his parents, who were present at his reception. This is hardly a ‘mass baptism’. The word ‘mass’ should only be used for groups of 100 + and in any case I do not practise rebaptism, as it is against the Orthodox Creed. But it is equivalent to a ‘group reception’. Why is this happening now? Why do they want to join the Church and, hopefully, eventually actually become Orthodox? It is the first time in fifty years that numbers of local people have wanted to join the Orthodox Church. Where does this all come from?

Interest in the Orthodox Church and Faith is becoming more common in North America and Great Britain, where spiritual and so social decomposition are far advanced. A real mass reception/baptism of 200 took place in the Greek Church in England last year. This is all about a return to civilisational roots, which we have been inviting for fifty-two years, even since our first writings in 1974. However, this return to civilisational roots is worldwide, not only here. Why? It is the result of the collapse of both Globalist ideologies, of Western Communism in 1991 and of Western Capitalism in 2022, though the processes go back long before that.

The Return to Roots: China and One Century of Humiliation and India and Two Centuries of Humiliation

To say that China is Communist is today absurd. ‘Communist’ may be the name of the ruling Party, the CCP, and the national flag makes reference to that old-fashioned ideology, but it is not at all the reality. The Chinese State is today a Traditional Confucianist State, going back millennia, which runs a form of enlightened State Capitalism, overseen by ‘Emperor’ Xi, who provides efficient and very advanced national infrastructure. China is returning to National Tradition, after its ‘century of humiliation’ at the hands of the West and after a generation of Maoist Marxism, which was the revolt against the West and which ended in 1979.

To say that India (Hindustan) is the world’s largest democratic State also twists the truth. It cannot help being the world’s largest State as it is the world’s largest country and, yes, Indians do vote ‘democratically’ in their hundreds of millions for its ancient civilisational values, Hindu Nationalism. This is the return of Indians to their civilisational roots after two centuries of humiliation, exploitation and colonialism at the hands of the British and then the two generations of revolt against it and search for identity after 1947. Hindu nationalism is the return to Indian national identity, millennia of tradition – and it is also inevitable.

The Return to Roots: Russia and Three Centuries of Humiliation

To say that Russia is Capitalist or Communist is today absurd. The reality is that the Russian State has since 2022 been returning to Imperial Russia, not so much to the Russia of before 1917, but to that of before 1721, which ran on a form of contractual State Capitalism. Russia is returning to the Tradition, as Tsar Nicholas II wished, after three centuries of humiliation by the West, by two centuries of Westernisation, then by three generations of anti-Russian Western Marxism and a generation of Capitalism. Today Russia has closed the window on the West, since the West has closed its window on Russia, whose militaristic ideology is for now that of ‘the Russian World’.

The Russian Orthodox Church is attached to the Russian State. Today Russian Orthodox clergy bless tanks, missiles and guns for what they see as the Russian liberation of the Ukraine from NATO. Unlike in the Tsar’s Russia, whose last representatives we knew well, though as in Soviet Russia, where the Church was controlled by the State, today’s Russian Nationalist Church is concerned only with Russians. True, certain of its senior clergy have not been cleansed of Western-style corruption and sexual perversions. That will come. Today’s Russian Church is no longer interested in Non-Russians – unless they are in Africa, where the Russian State has plans.

The Return to the Real West

But what does civilisational return in the West mean? As we have been writing and saying for fifty-two years, the West can only return to its roots, and that means to real Christianity, which was here a long time ago. That cannot mean going to a woke woman Archbishop of Canterbury, who succeeds an archbishop who did not know if he believed in God and shielded a pedophile, nor can it mean going to a Pope, whose antecedents invented infallibility only 150 years ago. It means returning to the ancient Orthodox roots of the West, to the first millennium, beyond the manipulations of the barbarian elite which has run the West for a thousand years.

After the 2016 resisted assassination threat against me from MI5, the ‘happy vassals’ of the Establishment tried to get me by destroying me through a CIA hack. The old Establishment did not want to give up. The potential assassins know that the collapse of the Western world Titanic does not mean that Europe and North America have been humiliated and defeated. They know that it means that the anti-Christian Western elite has been humiliated and defeated. And they belong to that. The defeat of the elite is a matter for rejoicing for us, the people. It means that we might yet return from the nightmare of the old elite and see for a new elite.

The Return from Sodom and Gomorrah

With the release of a heavily redacted part of the Epstein files, it is now clear to all that that old Western political, royal, business and media elite is morally bankrupt, riddled with satanic pedophiles, Zionist perverts to the core and even worse. ‘Robert Maxwell’, real name Ludwig Hoch, murdered or suicided, was a MI6 and Mossad agent, like his compatriots, the devil Epstein, the ‘Prince of Darkness’ Mandelson (Mendelssohn) and the French Jack Lang. The dirt that Epstein collected on Western elite perverts, engaged in orgies and satanic rituals, they used for blackmail. We need a new elite. A native Royal House is awaited in England after a millennium.

There should be no surprise at the perversions of the Western elite. They have long been rumoured. The British Saxe-Coburg Gotha Royal Family alone has recently provided the pervert Prince Albert Victor, the debauched Edward VII, the Hitler-saluting Edward VIII, the pervert Prince George, Duke of Kent, the notorious Mountbatten, the tragic Margaret, Diana and Harry and now the awful Andrew. The UK alone has in the last sixty years gone from the abortion holocaust of nearly 11 million lives to supporting the two-year long Gaza holocaust of some 250,000 lives. So they offer up to satan age-old child sacrifices too horrible to describe.

Conclusion: The Future Restoration of Russia

Meanwhile, the Iranian Theocracy, supported by Russian and Chinese warships, has scared off the Great Satan and the battleships of the blustering  bully/coward are again in full retreat, proving all Mossad’s and Trump’s Zionist threats empty. And China grows daily in strength. And Russian nationalism grows. Thus, the Russian Church has betrayed and abandoned Non-Russians, who had to leave it after generations of faithfulness to Christ. But all the prophecies agree that a Russian Tsar is coming to cleanse it from such impurity and other Western-style perversions to restore the multinational, Imperial Way. No Empire can be built on narrow Nationalism.

 

 

The Great Dictator (and the little dictator). Spoilt Child Syndrome: The Pathology of Trump and Trumpians

Foreword

Many are confused by President’s Trump erratic, ever-changing behaviour. I believe I understand his confusing behaviour very well. This is not because I know a lot, but because I had the same experience with another very similar narcissistic American, a ‘Trumpian’. He too was entrusted with an absurd title, though in his case he had a tiny amount of power, but he certainly suffered from exactly the same pathology of being spoilt by a parent.

Narcissism

First of all, we see that Trump is a narcissist. This is obvious – he lives in a bubble of vanity created by his father and preens and admires himself. His narcissism comes from the fact that he is a spoilt child. Spoilt children are always delusional narcissists. Hence his self-centred infantilism and tantrums, lashing out at others when he does not get what he wants. Spoilt children who are denied anything they want throw things out of their pushchair, threatening those who deny them what they want, blackmailing and bullying parents and others with ever more violent and noisy tantrums. Hence Trump’s threats of sanctions and tariffs, which are precisely the actions of a spoilt child. He finds issuing sanctions and tariffs ‘liberating’. For a spoilt child, revenge is indeed liberating.

The Weak Parent

If the parent is weak, then he will receive absolutely no respect and be subject to spectacular rudeness, tyranny and slander from the spoilt child. The spoilt brat demands total loyalty and total personal obedience because of his sense of entitlement and enablement. After all, he is the centre of the universe and must always be at the centre of attention, including at the centre of media attention. In other words, they demand exclusivity: ‘I am not like others, I am special and superior’. In the Trump case, this is clear, in the case of the other also, as he controlled ‘an exclusive church’. Jealousy rules these self-centred individuals and they feel obliged to try and destroy any possible rivals.

The Strong Parent

However, if the parent is strong and stands up to the emotional blackmail of the spoilt brat, the latter’s threats will turn into empty bluffs, his egomaniac bubble will burst. For the power of narcissists is only the power given to them by those who fawn on them and call them ‘Daddy’ or ‘Master’. Without the submissive fawning of the weak, they have nothing. Spoilt brats are extremely surprised and hurt when others refuse to fawn on them, to flatter their delusions, incompetence and ignorance, and turn away from them as a matter of conscience and integrity. ‘Conscience and integrity’ are words which spoilt brats do not understand. The spoilt brats’ surprise comes from the fact that they think that they are the centre of interest and that therefore there is no alternative to them.

Alternatives to the Spoilt Child Syndrome

Turning away from the spoilt brat is what Prime Minister Carney of Canada has done and now the Europeans too, as they kow-tow to China, a country which only a few weeks ago they were spitting at. There are alternatives. In our case, ‘the Pope’ (which is what his nickname in Europe is, since he proclaims his infallibility) did not think that there are other Orthodox Churches, far greater and far more powerful than his minute cultish sect of 19 little groups which he rules. Normal people walk away from spoilt brat bullying. Only the weak and sycophantic, like those whom Trump and the other one have surrounded themselves with, remain.

Backing Down

When Trump, or the other one, see people standing up to them, they first react badly and escalate against those who have resisted them, accusing them of ‘betrayal’ or ‘conspiring against them personally’. How can anyone resist them? They are always right and so refuse to accept that they have been mistaken. For that reason they can never take responsibility for their crass errors. There are no conspiracies against the Trumpians, just masses of people who have seen through their nonsense at the same time. Indeed, if you refuse to be bullied, blackmailed, intimidated and ignore their personal threats, they will back down, suddenly forgetting the claims they made and what they did yesterday.

Violence and Selective Amnesia

Their ‘amnesia’ includes forgetting their threats of physical violence towards other far more senior to them who have protected those they persecuted. And their behaviour then easily becomes thuggish, gangsterish, like that of mafiosi. This amnesia is not dementia, it is pathological denial – ‘it never happened’, ‘I never said that’, ‘you misunderstood me’. In their denial, they invent false narratives to justify their lies and refusal to take responsibility for them. Thus, Trump invents phone-calls with world leaders and invents peace ‘agreements’ or simply conversations which never took place. Only the foolish believe their lies. Sadly, there are foolish people who believe both the Great Dictator and the little one.

History Remembers

Whatever their denials of their lies and slanders, the rest of the world remembers them only too well. History does not forget. These narcissistic spoilt children always bully and betray and then are surprised when nobody trusts them any more. All they do is hasten the development of rivals, which soon become much more powerful than they are. This is how recent US Presidents have created a profound alliance between Russia, China and Iran, speeded up BRICS and the alternative to the dollar. In the Church context, his self-destructive persecutions of the faithful accelerate the development of other Churches, thus destroying his own tiny church.

Afterword

The consequences of spoilt child syndrome are always self-destructive. Thus, Trump is literally destroying the USA, both its industry, and in the ignoring of the Congress and Senate, and in the use of his murderous Gestapo ICE police. He does not want to ‘make America great again’ (the word ‘again’ is an admission that America is no longer great), he wants to make Trump great again. Similarly, in the other case, he is destroying church life and discrediting in ignominy his little group, which through his incompetence he is reducing to a weird sect. Elsewhere it is very troubled by homosexuality and pedophilia.

 

 

What Happens to Church Life When People Renounce the Living God?

Mercilessly exiling any bishop who displeased him and spreading Arianism, the Emperor Valens began persecuting in Cappadocia. His prefect Modestus went to St Basil and threatened to confiscate his property, to banish or beat him and even to kill him. St Basil staunchly rejected his blandishments to betray the Faith and his threats to punish him as a criminal, answering, ‘Death would be a kindness to me, for it will bring me all the sooner to God, for Whom I live and labour and to Whom I hasten’. The official was stunned by his answer. ‘No one has ever spoken with such boldness to me’, he said. The saint replied: ‘Perhaps that is because you have never spoken to a bishop before’.

Introduction: The Definition of the Church

The Church is the Risen Body of Christ, radiated by the Holy Spirit, that is, it is Divino-human. However, if a part of the Church is taken over by men, it loses its Divinity. Thus, it becomes a mere human organisation, a corporation, commercial, political or ethnic, or a sect and cult. And as it is no longer the Risen Body of Christ, it is at once subject to corruption, like a human body rotting and decaying in the grave. This means that its four theological defining signs are renounced. Those signs are, as we confess in the Creed, One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. They mean:

The Church is One in Faith, whatever the outward administrative divisions. Whenever any group of human-beings changes the Creed or substitutes human values for Oneness of Faith, they fall away from the Unity of the Church.

The Church is Holy, in other words, the Church alone produces saints. When part of the Church persecutes saints or stops producing them, it is no longer the Church, it has fallen away from the Church and is spiritually impaired.

The Church is Catholic. This much misunderstood word means that, whatever ritual, outward or administrative variations, the Church always confesses the same inward Faith in all places and at all times.

The Church is Apostolic. This means that the history of the Church goes back directly to the apostles who, obeying the Holy Spirit at the Council of Jerusalem in 33 AD, began to organise the Church on earth.

From Church to Corporation, Ideology, Sect and Cult 

It is very sad to see part of the Church, however small, abandon these four qualities and thus become a sect and cult. This is especially so when you have dedicated decades to fighting against sectarianism and helping to implant the signs of the Church firmly (as we had thought) into the part that had been threatened by evil.

We can see that a part of the Church has renounced this Churchliness, when it ceases to be One and divides into many sects, each differing in the confession of the Faith and warring in hatred against one another. There is only one solution in this situation and that is flee to the uncontaminated Church which is in communion with all. Communion with all Orthodox is the guarantee of Unity.

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Holy, that is, when it ceases to produce saints and persecutes those who pursue Holiness. For example, there is a former part of the Church that finally produced its only saint 60 years ago, first having suspended him and put him on trial. We speak of St John of Shanghai and Western Europe (+ 1966).

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Catholic, part of the Catholic whole, and cuts off communion with other members of the Church. This is because its members declare like the pharisees their exclusiveness and superiority, that only they obey the canons and possess the truth.

We can see that a part has renounced Churchliness, when it ceases to be Apostolic, abandoning the practices of the apostles and inventing novel teachings, which are against the Creed, for example, rebaptising deluded Orthodox.

Church Life Degenerates as Sectarianism Takes Over

Once Love, which is the only message of Christ, the Head of the Church, is replaced by some secular ideology, for example, a commercial, political or ethnic ideology, Church life degenerates into purely secular modes of life. Thus, only careerists are left among the clergy and they bear no spiritual fruit, as they are opportunists. They are ‘flexible’ and will swim with the tide in return for tinsel awards. These careerists are used to ‘do the dirty work’, such as covering up the scandals, which occur at the decline and fall of all human organisations. The careerists are totally obedient to the heads of the totalitarian sect, for the heads insist on total and slavish obedience to themselves, as they have no spiritual or moral authority. And when they justify what they did wrong, ‘I was only following orders’, say the careerists. But that is too late.

At this point Church life is taken over by love of money. Those who have money, whether laypeople or clergy, take control and impose their perversions. All who do not ‘pay up’ are abused, bullied, intimidated, humiliated and slandered by the clerical extortioner. Money must belong to him and his total control.

Next come attempts at property grabs. All those who have built or restored Church properties, sacrificing themselves and their own money and time selflessly and resisting what is in fact attempted theft, are abused, bullied, intimidated, humiliated and slandered by the clerical extortioner. Property must belong to him and his total control.

Finally come the sexual perversions, homosexuality and pedophilia. These cases are duly covered up by the amoral careerists. See:

https://pokrovtruth.substack.com/p/explosive-new-audio-further-implicates

At this point, Love is replaced by their hatred, which becomes pathological because it is the end. The former part of the Church is controlled by the pathologically sick and has become a sect and cult.

Conclusion

It may sound obvious or naïve, but it is always best to make sure that candidates for the priesthood and the episcopate are both psychologically normal and are actually Christians, before ordaining and consecrating them. Not Christians in words (that can be forged), but in deeds. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them’.
