The head of the Russian Orthodox Church received a delegation from
the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople on May 24 and lamented the
secularization of Europe and the United States.
“We are deeply worried to see what is going on in the Christian
world,” said Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, who referred to the “ongoing
de-Christianization of the European and American civilization” as “an
apocalyptic scene: sin is affirmed by law.”
“As you know, we underwent a period of state atheism,” he said in
reference to over seven decades of Soviet Communist rule. “However, the
moral paradigm remained Christian in its major aspects. This is what
saved us: our literature and fine arts were permeated with Christian
ideas, hence the morality of our people remained Christian.”
Patriarch Kirill added that today the Russian Orthodox Church “has
universities of her own, as well as over 40 seminaries, a thousand
monasteries, Orthodox TV channels, journals, newspapers.”
From here.
It is certainly a sign that heralds the closing of this age. End of the world or opportunity rising, the Orthodox stand to gain from the coming great shakeup.Liberal dominion has an expiry date, and I think we will live to see it.
