EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis). Considering that we are living in the era of “Clash of Civilizations”, (the concept originating in the 1990s first in an article and then in a famous book by Samuel Huntington – on page 37 of this book, the war in Ukraine is described in detail 20 years earlier) it is remarkable that King Charles, the symbolic leader of the United Kingdom (that, as a country, is fervently anti-Russian) came out with such a statement!! Even though the statement was made in 1998, its revelation now by the Telegraph has a special significance. The statement is supported by many words and actions by King Charles over the years.
The war in Ukraine and the surrounding events are essentially a war against Orthodoxy; the Constantinople Patriarchate, with its support for homosexuality, its effort to unify with the Catholics and its other heresies, is acting as a tool of the globalists and is hell-bent on eliminating Orthodoxy as it existed for two millennia…
Yes, King Charles has solid family roots in Greece, which played a role in his preference for Orthodoxy. He is a regular visitor to Mt. Athos and has shown his respect for Orthodoxy in many ways. Of course, some may try to interpret his support in other ways as a counterbalancing act to the influence of Russian Orthodoxy. However, as more and more Westerners convert to Orthodoxy, it makes sense to use such a statement to promote our faith’s eternal truths. These are inexorably tied to the Classical and Stoic Greek philosophy – we should never forget this element…

King believed only one sect of Christianity ‘not corrupted by political correctness’, letter reveals
In private correspondence from 1998, the then Prince of Wales admitted feeling drawn to the ‘timeless traditions’ of the Orthodox Church.

The King once praised the Orthodox Church as the only Christians who are “not corrupted by loathsome political correctness”, a newly uncovered letter has revealed.
In private correspondence from 1998, the then Prince of Wales admitted he felt more drawn to the “timeless traditions” of the Orthodox Church as he grew older.
Writing to his friend Dudley Poplak, the late interior designer who worked closely with the Royal family, the King said: “Personally, the older I get, the more I am drawn to the great, timeless traditions of the Orthodox Church.”
He added: “They are the only ones that have not been corrupted by loathsome political correctness.”
The King, who became Supreme Governor of the Church of England upon ascending the throne like his mother before him, has always had strong ties to the Greek Orthodox Church.
His father, the late Prince Philip, was baptised a Greek Orthodox, although he later converted to Anglicanism before marrying Princess Elizabeth, the future Queen.
To mark his paternal heritage, the monarch had a choir perform Psalm 71 in Greek at his Coronation last May.
He has also been seeking support and spiritual advice from Archimandrite Ephraim, a Greek Orthodox monk, in the wake of his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
In 2004, it was claimed that he was so enamoured with the Orthodox faith that he adorned a section of his Highgrove home with prized Byzantine icons, many said to originate from the Mount – the Orthodox world’s holiest site.
Greek Orthodox Church worship focuses more on traditional sacrament and sacred scriptures as opposed to preaching and prayer.
The newly uncovered letter comes as the Church of England has faced accusations of being consumed by political correctness and failing to stand up for Christian values over the past 20 years.
In 2019, Dr Gavin Ashenden, the late Queen’s former chaplain, accused the Church of “swallowing political correctness wholesale” as he announced he was converting to Catholicism instead.
The King has long maintained a deep fascination with all religious faiths, however, from Islam to Buddhism, and has worked to bring different faith leaders together.
After he ascended the throne in September 2022, he pledged to protect the multiple faiths of a diverse Britain “no less diligently” than Christianity in his role as head of the Church.
The King’s typed letter, which has the Prince of Wales’ coat of arms stamped on the top, was written on Aug 24 1998, while he was staying at Balmoral Castle, and was marked “Private & Confidential”.
In the same correspondence to Mr. Poplak, the King also criticized the move towards genetically modified [GM] crops or “Frankenstein” food. He wrote that the use of GM crops filled him with “utterable gloom and despair”.
The then Prince said he was resigned to the fact that “money drives everything and wisdom has been banished in the face of seemingly unstoppable marketing”.
It was penned the same year that he first set out his public opposition to GM foods, when he said it “takes mankind into realms that belong to God, and to God alone”.
Mr Poplak died in 2005 and the letter was one of several royal-related correspondences in his possession to go under the hammer at Lay’s Auctions of Penzance, Cornwall.
The cache of six letters was sold for more than £1,700.
A spokesman for Lay’s said: “It is an interesting, candid and intriguing letter in which Charles expresses his despair at the prospect of GMO and his interest in the traditions of the Orthodox Church.
“The Royal family aren’t supposed to make political statements as a rule, certainly in public, but these remarks were made in private correspondence.”
Buckingham Palace said it does not comment on private correspondence.
King Charles: Orthodoxy is based.
Elpidophoros: Hold my beer.
Hahaha good one
Prince Charles is a globalist.
And his grandmother Princess Alice became Orthodox nun.
Too bad his degenerate son Harry is a despised, worldwide embarrassment leftist, was mentored by Obama; this dopey Harry is everything
King Charles disdains.
But great news:
Judas betrayer son Harry finally divorcing his liberal Suckabus wife who dismantled the Royal Family.
Actually prince Harry is the only normal person in an obviously dysfunctional royal family. I think we all suspect why he left the royal family, because they murdered his pregnant mother! Of course, he cannot say it openly, but sometime in the future everything will come to light…
PS. I hope the Greek origin of Philip and Charles is a joke. Philip never learned Greek, because he left Greece very young. The supposedly “Greek royal family” was actually Danish! And they still keep their Danish titles…
You are in serious delusion to defend Prince Harry’s nonstop evil against his royal family after they gifted him $100 million dollars.
And Diana was not pregnant with the Muslim. She never confided any such thing to any of her friends if she was lovers with him, and that is what women do:
Tell Their Friends!
Princess Alice was the only normal one. She lived a life according to God’s will, not her own. We all need to follow her righteous example.
King Charles is a global cabal believer and fool. I’m sorry, but Orthodoxy has gone woke. Elpidoktonas and the imaginary Papal Bartholomew are aligned with Promoting their own dysfunctional inability to control their sleeping mates.
