PHOTO: How many times did Mike Pompeo, former State Dept. Head and CIA Director, have private visits with Bartholomew in America, Istanbul, or elsewhere? Countless… And he was “honored” for his “globalist” policies a few times also… Yet the “Archons of Disaster” complain about Pat. Kirill of “politicizing” Orthodoxy…
ΕΑΝ ΠΡΟΤΙΜΑΤΕ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ ΠΑΤΗΣΤΕ ΤΗ ΣΗΜΑΙΑ ΣΤΟ ΚΑΤΩ ΜΕΡΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΟΘΟΝΗΣ
The Archons attack Moscow for politicizing Orthodoxy while refusing to examine their own side. Moscow is condemned as an instrument of state power; Constantinople’s ties to Washington remain conveniently unmentioned. Meanwhile, as we see Odesa’s naval blockade and Russian nightly heavy missile attacks on Kiev, Ukraine is expected to fall in the next few months…
By Nick Stamatakis
The latest Archon circular, reproduced below, is remarkable less for what it says about Moscow than for what it refuses to say about Constantinople.
Once again, Patriarch Kirill is denounced as an “instrument of Russian state power,” while the Ecumenical Patriarchate is presented as somehow above geopolitical manipulation.
That claim collapses under the weight of American diplomatic history.
In 1950, U.S. State Department officials openly discussed supporting the Ecumenical Patriarchate to counter Soviet influence and preserve American influence in the Orthodox world. That is not Russian propaganda. It is in the U.S. government’s own archives.
So spare us the sudden outrage over governments cultivating religious institutions for geopolitical purposes.
Apparently, church-state cooperation becomes scandalous only when Moscow does it.
When Washington supports Constantinople, receives its Patriarch at the highest levels, and treats the Patriarchate as strategically important, we are told this is merely diplomacy. When Moscow and the Russian Orthodox Church align politically, however, the Archons suddenly discover the mortal danger of a Church becoming an “instrument of state power.”
That is not principle. It is selective outrage.
Patriarch Kirill’s wartime rhetoric can certainly be criticized. But intellectual honesty requires applying the same standard to Constantinople’s relationship with Washington.
Instead, the Archons issue increasingly apocalyptic warnings about Russia threatening Ukraine, Orthodoxy, the West, and even the world.
The timing is revealing.
Ukraine has at the moment zero air-defense interceptors. Russia has practically occupied all of Donbas (except a couple of towns), while Odesa is under naval blockade and its port infrastructure is repeatedly attacked. In practical terms, Ukraine is already and will remain a landlocked country – until it is completely conquered. Whatever one’s political loyalties, the objective battlefield picture is far less favorable to Kyiv than the triumphalist predictions heard for years.
For years, Western political and ecclesiastical circles assumed Russia would be strategically defeated, isolated, and permanently weakened, while Constantinople’s intervention in Ukrainian Orthodoxy would be vindicated.
Events have not followed that script. So the rhetoric grows louder.
The Archons approvingly quote the claim that “Russian Orthodoxy’s leaders are instruments of Russian state power.”
Fine. Then let us discuss all instruments of state power.
Discuss Moscow and the Kremlin — and Constantinople and Washington.
Discuss Kirill’s political alliances — and the documented American effort to use the Ecumenical Patriarchate as a counterweight to Moscow.
You cannot spend generations comfortably aligned with one geopolitical camp and then condemn another Church simply because it operates within the opposing one.
Worse, the Archons are not merely undermining Orthodoxy. They are undermining Hellenism itself.
By weakening Hellenism’s historic ties to Russia — a country that played a decisive role in the struggle culminating in Greek independence — and by supporting the schism within World Orthodoxy, they are damaging two civilizational bonds at once.
As I have argued before, Hellenism rests on four ecumenical pillars: Orthodoxy, Navigation and Shipping, the Diaspora, and Cultural Heritage.
Yet the Patriarchate, with the support of the Archons, has weakened both Orthodoxy and the Hellenic Diaspora: Through the conduct of hierarchs in America, Australia, Canada, and elsewhere, the Diaspora is increasingly subordinated to priorities shaped not by global Hellenism but by Ankara and the Turkish Foreign Ministry. Just the fact that these hierarchs openly support “peaceful coexistence” with A Turkish state that threatens Greece with “casus belli” since 1996 is enough proof.
That is not the defense of Hellenism.
It is its erosion.
If the Archons genuinely want an Orthodox Church independent of government power, they should demand that independence consistently — from Moscow, Kyiv, Ankara, and Washington alike.
Until then, these lectures sound less like moral principle than frustration that their preferred geopolitical strategy has not gone according to plan.
And that increasingly looks like butt-hurt.
==================
‘Russian Orthodoxy’s Leaders Are Instruments of Russian State Power’
Dear Brother Archons and Friends of the Archons of the Ecumenical Patriarchate,
Please take a moment to read this brief article in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal. It explains clearly and concisely how Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war in Ukraine has just entered a cruel new phase, presenting new dangers not only to Ukraine, but to the world at large.
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church, has just published a book, War: Beyond the Visible Causes and Consequences, offering spurious spiritual justifications for what he has already claimed is a “holy war” between Russia and Ukraine.
In casting Putin’s savage war as one that will bring spiritual rewards to Russians who participate in it, Kirill has provided a foundation for the prolongation of that war, and for the senseless and tragic deaths of untold numbers of Ukrainians and Russians in pursuit of Russia’s neo-colonial, neo-Soviet global ambitions.
Standing in Kirill’s way is His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, who is, as the WSJ article says, “the ‘first among equals’ in world Orthodoxy.” The Ecumenical Patriarch “has criticized Russian aggression and specifically condemned Patriarch Kirill’s efforts to give a veneer of religious sanction to the war.”
Please note also that the WSJ article states that “Russian Orthodoxy’s leaders are instruments of Russian state power.” The Moscow Patriarch is not an innocent bystander, or a victim of Putin; he is, on the contrary, Putin’s willing collaborator in their efforts to destroy Ukraine.
If they succeed, the consequences will be catastrophic for the Orthodox Church worldwide, as well as for the West, and for the world at large.
Yours in the service of the Ecumenical Patriarchate,
Dr. Anthony J. Limberakis
Archon Grand Aktouarios
National Commander
Πονάνε τα παληκάρια; Πονάνε οι «άρχοντες» της συμφοράς;
Mr Stamatakis, I think the international Zio-masons are deeply worried, because the war in Ukraine is not going like they planned it. Russia is defeating single-handedly the whole NATO alliance! Their economy still standing and the war and the sanctions didn’t even isolate them. They found new friends and allies…
But the war in Ukraine and the war with Iran revealed also an unexpectedly big weakness of the NATO countries in the production of weapons and ammunition supplies!
The reaction of the international Zio-masons to the bad news from the battlefields, is planning attacks on Russian energy infrastructure and terrorist attacks on civilians!
And there is the moral advantage of the Russian leadership. By targeting civilians, they could have finished the war long time ago. But they don’t! They follow the principles of their Orthodox Christian tradition. It is painful for them, to suffer civilian casualties and not retaliate, but they have God in their side and Ukrainian civilians appreciate it…
From now on, the only hope of the Zio-masons and their puppet Zelensky, is surprise attacks against civilian targets and even Putin himself and other officials.
My opening Greek saying, is a reference to the mourning of the Zio-masons for their “brother” Lindsey Graham, who fell in action in Ukraine…
My contolences Bob…
No need for sending your “condolences” to me on the death of Lindsey Graham. As opposed to you, I am not a poodle to anyone. I dont sniff Zelensky’s butt as you do with Putin, or Lindsay Graham’s as you do with the Russian oligarchs. BTW, in our last exchange, you parrot whatever I say. Can’t you come up with your own put-downs?
You are continuing with your wrong, hard headed conclusions, which only reveal the depth of your ignorance and the degree that your mushy brain has been eroded by Putin’s propaganda. Russia hjas been attacking civilians for the whole time of the war. Why do you think Putin is a wanted man by the ICJ At the Hague? As is Netanyahou. The UN itself has condemned Russia’s attack on Ukrainian civilians. Here’s the link. United Nations in Ukraine. https://ukraine.un.org › en. Moreover, August of this year has been a particularly deadly one for Ukrainian civilians. UN News https://news.un.org › en › story
Now, you might say that the International Court of Justice and the UN are not legitimate, according to your Putin worshipping mind. . If you do that, send me a link that says that Russians do not attack Ukrainians civilians. Let’s see if your sources are any more legitimate than the UN and the ICJ
Then, you say that “I think the international Zio-masons are deeply worried, because the war in Ukraine is not going like they planned it. Russia is defeating single-handedly the whole NATO alliance! Their economy still standing and the war and the sanctions didn’t even isolate them. They found new friends and allies””
I need clarification on this nonsense. Russia, when she invaded Ukraine in 2022, was planning on occupying Kiev within a few days…Four and a half years later, she’s in possession of a territory shorter distance than from Washington DC to Baltimore. And at the cost of over 600,000 dead and more than a mllion injured. Russia is not defeating NATO. And she’s not fighting single handedly. Russia is over five times the land area of Ukraine and over 3 times in population. Russia has resources such as oil and gas and a manufacturing base which Ukraine does not have. She has the support of China, India, North Korea and Iran. There are soldiers fighting at the front from Africa and North Korea.
And I heard that you were getting ready to join Russia’s army. Here’s your chance to fight the “war mongers of NATO”. Prove that you actually walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Demand from Putin that he puts you on the front line. Putin would even send you the airplane ticket.
Bob,
All experts on Russia, all those who know the country and its history deeply, agree on one thing: Russia has no intention of attacking the West, and Russia did not voluntarily attack civilians in the Ukraine war. On the opposite the ukro-nazis attacked civilians in Donbas and forced Russia to intervene…
How many times will I ask you to study the basics of Russian history? In the last 400 years Russia has been attacked and invaded by the Vikings, Napoleon, Hitler and others. Can you name one case when Russia attacked the West?
I can name at least 4-5 occasions that the Russian Army paraded in Paris and Berlin after being victorious against the Western attackers…
You cannot comment here ignoring the basics and recargitating propaganda.
Nick. As I said, I know you have a special affinity with Putin and his actions. He is as innocent , as far as you’re concerned, and as pure as the newly fallen now. I am not trying to change your mind. I am merely answering PG–which stands for poodle guarddog–and his “condolences”” to me, in the death of Lindsay Graham. I answered each and every one of his assertions by referring to legitimate sources. All his assertions have to do with the Ukraine war. Not the history of Russia. Who attacked whom, who paraded where has nothing to do with today’s hppenings.
If you’re telling me that Russia is correct to harbor suspicions on the West, because of previous invasions, history shows also, that in every conflict, she had Western powers as allies. She didnt march to Berlin or Paris on her own strength.
On the other hand, if you are going to refer to historical suspicions, then, why not condemn the USSR for allying with Hitler to share Poland, thereby facilitating thew war, which cost her twenty million lives. Or Russia’s cowardly treaty of Litovsk, with the Germans, in WWI, abandoning her Western allies at the worst possible moment, which time American involvement saved Europe?
This is all past history. It should not have an impact today. But if you excuse Putin’s actions by invoking the invasions by Napoleon and Hitler, as if to excuse Putin’s aggression, then, consider the West’s justified suspicion at Russia’s ficklness.
You asked me if I can name one occasion where Russia attacked the West. Would it be alright if I mention more than one? Since you go back to the Vikings, I”ll go back to the era of Peter the great to as recently as the invasion of Ukraine. So, the worse invasion was of Finland, in the winter war of 1939.. A small nation, which stood strong against Russia but finally fell. As shameful as Italy’s invasion of Greece. The invasion of Georgia in 2008, the invasion of the land where Saint Petersburg is today located, during the reign of Peter the Great. Numerous wars against Turkey, using the yet uncreated nation of Greece, to help, during Catherine the great’s reign, the so-called Orlofika, and then, abandoning the Greeks to severe reprisals by the Turks. More than 50,000 Peloponisians were killed and exiled from Greece. Kolokotronis himself escaped to Zakynthos, where he served under the British. And of course, the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. You might object, but it is a fact and we all know who invaded whom.
Bob – I never said that Russia is blameless. What I said is that history shows that the West attacked Russia and not the opposite. Please leave the Greek case alone- if not for Russia’s victory over the Ottomans and the Kucuk Caynartze treaty of 1829, Greece would be paying taxes to the Sultans. Soviet rule offers some “diversions” but does not change hard historical facts. And yes, when it comes to ground war, the Russians have the upper hand – as Hitler’s Armies found out the hard way… Yes, we are talking about Hitler’s generals who were later brought to America to organize the US army (along with the Nazis of the German intelligence who organized the CIA and Herbert von Brown, who was in charge of NASA).
I was among the first – years ago – to point to a great classic, “Oriental Despotism” by Karl August Wittfogel, to explain why countries such as Russia and China are bound to be organized in authoritarian systems due to their size and other factors. The hard reality is that THE WEST CAUSED THE CURRENT WAR IN UKRAINE AND NOT RUSSIA. You need to go back and read the facts. As I promised I will soon post the longstanding position of Henry Kissinger on this issue. If you do not believe Kissinger, then the discussion will stop here. You are helpless..
Nick. I don’t know what Kissinger said. However, please, tell me why anyone should believe Kissinger. Do you believe him in everything he said and approve of everything he did? Kissinger was the epitome, exhibit A of the scheming Jew that you and others on here despise. He had blood on his hands with the Cyprus invasion. So, why should I believe him? Give me a reason.
As for the Orlofika massacres, you know Russians have the responsibility for abandoning the Greeks, after telling them to rise and massacre Turkish civilians, which was the excuse Turks used to massacre Greeks after the Russians left. Which means one thing. Russians backed Greece’s independence, because it suited their national interests. They were competing with Great Britain on having the newly formed state on their side. I dont blame a nation for prioritizing their national interests, because that’s what they should do.
So, Greece should be grateful for Russia’s interference on Greece’s behalf in 1828, just as they should be blames for the Orlofika.
Before Orlofika, Catherine the Great allowed the Greeks fly the Russian flag on their ships – that fact alone made the shiponers deeply wealthy and in essence gave us freedom.
We criticize Kissinger for other issues and esp. his role on the Cyprus problem. But nobody can say anything about his expertise on West-East geopolitics.
Bob, your assessment reeks of Russophobia. The Russian, whether you like them or not, did not initiate the current war (which began in 2014). Indeed, they pursued dialogue (Minsk 1 and 2) and in April of 2022, they and the Kiev regime were ready to sign on the dotted line in Istanbul. The West has been “poking the bear” for too long.
George, I agree the war started in 1914. But it was due to the Russian invasion of the Crimea. You conveniently forgot that. The Crimea is a part of Ukraine, which was and still is recognized as Ukrainian territory by the UN. I’ll have to give it to you people. You are all blind Russophiles.
And I can guarantee you that I am no Russophobe. While you all “love” Putin and treat him a a spoiled child which child has to get its way, or he’ll break the dishes, and you need to find excuses for Putin’s aggression, I have no phobia, because I’m not concerned that Russia will attack us and must be curbed. I just present the facts. You people present fallacies.
I’ll ask you George, as I ask PG– a.k.a poodle guardog–if the west is so bad, and Russia is taken advantage of by the warmongering West, why stay here, pay taxes that support the war-mongering West, while you bad mouth it. Ask to be installed on the front lines, prove that you really mean what you say. Putin accepts all comers and even pays their airfare. As long as you become cannon fodder. Dont wait. You waste your time by arguing with me. I am just as powerless to influence events as any of you are.
Bob, if you were Russia’s leader, you would act the same way Putin does. History and geography dictate that without Crimea, Russia is indefensible. The same holds true about Ukraine. This is why Kissinger supported that Ukraine be a “buffer” state. The West refused the idea and now (at least the East) Ukraine will beciome Rusian. If you ignore history and geography you cannot discuss geopolitics. And if you keep ignoring it as you do you offer nothing to this discussion. You just blubber bs.
As Americans, we are indebted to those countries (France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic) who helped us gain our independence 250 years in a war against Britain. Yet despite that war, and despite the independence we have, the U.S. and Great Britain are today some of the strongest allies.
Ukraine and Russia should be friends and close allies too. Yet this will only come through respect and trust, and right now there is none. Russia blames Ukraine for breaking that trust by threatening to join NATO, while Ukraine blames Russia for breaking that respect and trust by military invasion and annexation of Ukrainian territory. Both are to blame. Both are antagonizing each other. Yet what is the way forward?
The only solution the Russian Federation currently offers is forced repression, that Ukraine would no longer exist and would instead become Russia. To some extent, that may work, as long as Russia has the military might to enforce such repression, as in the currently occupied territories of Ukraine. Yet this would simply be “kicking the can down the road” for Ukrainian independence, waiting for the time when Russian might is again weakened and/or the Russian Federation collapses like the Soviet Union did.
The Orthodox Church, in her wisdom, offers a solution. When the autocephaly of independent countries is recognized by other Local Churches, a relationship of trust and respect is then established that helps to counter the destructive forces of war and nationalism. The time is now ripe to recognize Ukrainian autocephaly, as the only other outcome is the forced repression of Ukraine by Russia.
Joseph,
The time is ripe, yes…but for what exactly? Why not this list instead:
The time is now (over)-ripe for Constantinople to stop serving it’s “geopolitical masters”, and focus on Christ and the Unity of the Faith.
The time is ripe to understand that Bartholomew’s reversal of Constantinople’s anathematization of ethnophyletism in the Ukraine and elsewhere has resulted in a catastrophic Schism within Orthodoxy.
The time is now ripe for a Pan-Orthodox Synod to condemn and depose the “Schism creator-in-chief”, along with all bishops who willingly followed him (concelebrations with Epiphanios, etc). Bartholomew ignored all warnings not to issue that tomos to Epiphanios, and he ignored all those Primates who warned him, including at the time Theodoros of Alexandria, who famously went and concelebrated with Ounoufry just days before the tomos was issued (if you remember).
The time is ripe to stop this one-sided propaganda about “forced repression of Ukraine”, when everyone knows it was Zelensky who passed those “repressive laws” banning the use of Russian in the Ukraine, and Zelensky who “repressed” and threw out the monks of the Kiev Lavra (a violation of International Human Rights among other things), without a single complaint from Constantinople…
Markos. I agree. The time is ripe.
And also, the time is ripe to ask Bartholomew (and the rest of the world) if his word as a man, his own signature is worth anything at all, given that he signed his affirmation twice on letters to Moscow (1992 & 1997-8) that:
1) Philaret and his gang were Canonically deposed Schismatics
2) Kiev was in Moscow’s jurisdiction
The archons foolishly cite the equally foolish WSJ calling the man whose “YES does NOT mean YES” a “leader of all the Orthodox”? Give us a break with this nonsense!
When someone unilaterally reverses course on what he has previously affirmed with his own signature, he is the first one to have committed “Breach of Contract”…the first one who “can’t be trusted”, and the last one who can be called a “role model”… In this light, no one can call Russian retaliation in Africa “unprovoked”…when you provoke with initiating Schism, bad things happen. Bartholomew was warned not to issue the tomos, but he did anyway…and now, it’s a chaotic mess.
Joseph, Moscow has NO intention of “repressing” the Ukraine or forcibly taking it over. Read Putin’s own words on this. All they have asked for is that the Ukraine not become part of NATO. Which, btw, is what Gen Zaluzhny has already accepted. (Him being Kiev’s current ambassador to the UK and former supreme commander of the Ukrainian armed forces.)
George, Vladimr Putin formally annexed four regions of Ukraine in 2022 without having full control of them: Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia. Those “annexed” regions are still not fully under Russian control.
As for joining NATO, an occupied country is not eligible for membership, just as with Cyprus being ineligible since 1974 because of Turkish occupation.
Ukraine has been considered occupied since 2014 when Crimea was annexed by Russia, and that makes Ukraine ineligible for NATO membership.
Joseph – please give it up with “annexation of Crimea” and the rest. Especially for Crimea, Trump gave it up in his first term and declared – almost publicly – that “Russia has every right to occupy Crimea”… Almost 10 years later, you sing the same boring tune… Give it up… Crimea, for many centuries, was the main naval base for Russia. Only fools would expect Rusia to let its main naval base become a NATO-controlled territory…
Watch in the next few months what punishment will fall upon Turkey for pretending that it can close the Bosporus Straits…
The Ottomans ruled Cyprus for over 300 years, and North Turkey has now been occupied for over fifty. There’s the saying that possession is 9/10ths of the law, and now the Turks certainly won’t want to leave with all the off-shore oil reserves there. I still hope in God’s mercy that they abandon Cyprus nonetheless.
They will abandon Cyprus when we kick them out! But do not confuse Cyprus with Ukraine – they are totally different cases… The easy way is to invoke international law and beg for compliance. Invoking international law is always the choice of the weak. Hellenism has to get rid of the traitors in its leadership – and if we achieve this first step everything else will fall in place..
Do the Archons go to Confession? What a sham they all are.
Jane,
I don’t think they go to confession, because they are not real “orthodox”. They pretend they are, like all AHEPA Freemasons… The worst part is that they used the name of Saint Andrew to name their Masonic lodge!
By the way, I hope you don’t go for confession to a priest that has given oath to AHEPA and you expect that he won’t give your secrets to his lodge…
Nr. Thank you for the info re: Archon use of St. Andrew’s name to make themselves appear holy. I had no idea priests take a pledge to AHEPA. I learn more every time I read Helleniscope.
While, a criminal complaint for investigation of the Archidiocese, Archons, Ahepa , and State department has been filed against them for collaborating in the overthrow of the elected government and Church of the Ukraine, and the ethnic and religious cleansing of Russian Speaking Orthodox Ukrainian citizens and banning of their churches we have recent commentary from State Department–aligned voices like lipper, Karp Ahepa, Archons, Bartholomew , Epidophoros , repeat an unsubstantiated claim that Russia and the Moscow Patriarchate “use religion and oil to undermine democracy.” This narrative has been circulated for years without producing a single verified incident, investigation, or independent finding. Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary evidence; none has been provided.
By contrast, the persecution of canonical Orthodox Christians in Ukraine is a matter of public record. The Zelensky government has banned the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, raided monasteries, arrested clergy, and evicted monks from the Kiev Caves Lavra. These actions are documented in legislation, police operations, and statements by Ukrainian officials. Broadcasters such as Tucker Carlson have highlighted these facts, noting that an entire Christian denomination has been targeted.
The same pattern of documented pressure on Christian and Muslim communities is visible in Gaza, Palestine, Lebanon, and Jerusalem, where church leaders themselves have warned of escalating attacks on clergy, churches, and religious sites.
The State Department’s narrative about Orthodoxy is political speculation. The persecution carried out by U.S.-funded governments is documented reality.
A government cannot claim to defend religious freedom while financing the repression of Christians and other faith communities. A church cannot claim to uphold the Gospel while honoring political leaders accused of persecuting the faithful.
The public deserves honesty, evidence, and accountability. Produce proof — or karp, lipper, and others on this venue stop repeating propaganda and stop trolling for the State Department ..
“Butt-hurt” is an interesting title.
I gave it some thought, but in the end it seemed to reflect the reality of the situation. The “Archons of Disaster” have made multiple trips to many places (including Bulgaria and Romania), led by their “spiritual” leader – and State Dept/CIA agent Karloutsos – to try promoting the Ukrainian autocephaly… Their efforts have failed so far, and they will ultimately fail on the grounds of the war… The ominous signs are clear now with a naked eye…
I read the above article and the replies, and I’m deeply saddened. Why? Because it made me realize that the global leaders whose aim it is to split the Orthodox Church in two are succeeding. We are united by a common set of beliefs. We are one through the chalice. Yet some of us see the enemies of our Church as friends, and those who are defenders of the Church as enemies.
We can still have different opinions even though we are united in our Orthodox beliefs. But when it comes to
discerning who are the defenders of the Church and who are the enemies of the Church, there should be no question. But, that’s not the case..We are being manipulated by dark forces. The first step out of this is to pray that we may have the discernment to follow the right leaders. Secondly, even though we may be divided at this time, we should pray for those Orthodox brethren whom we disagree with on this issue
We can’t let the dark forces of this world destroy our Church unity.
Why does anyone, not review to study historical facts?? Why not ask US Sec of State
James Baker’s position (US/NATO’S) on the former USSR territories/nations -(“not to advance even ONE
inch”) ! No substantial interests in Ukraine Etc.? Regrettably, international agreements, treaties, UN, UNCLOS, serious diplomatic formal communicative developments are tabled ,thereby, lack institutional control on all levels. The historical forces that developed the Christian Character of Western
Civilization with Greece being its pivotal core source is not important anymore? “Times are a Changing”. No wonder the world is on fire!
