Eurabia Vaticana

For those who are even slightly interested in what's going down in Europe, I direct you to the Éllopos Blog link in my side panel. An article posted there on May 31, entitled Eurabia Vaticana, is particularly interesting. When you first link to this article, you'll see two links in the first paragraph which I recommend you to follow: Papal Chrislamism, and Patriarch Bartholomew. The first details the current pope's dealings with the Islamic community, and the second does the same for the ecumenical patriarch. I cannot comment on the pope's dealings except to say it's consistent with the papist approach to strong adversaries throughout history. Nothing new there. But it is disappointing to see how the Greek-Turkish patriarch is behaving. What else should we expect from a man who has been persecuting the monks of Esphigmenou Monastery on Mount Athos this many a year because they are defiant in their defense of Orthodoxy. The true Orthodox way has NEVER been to persecute those who disagree with us but, if we cannot see eye to eye, to live and let live. Or as patriarch Jeremiah responded to the Lutheran theologians who kept pressing him to join the Reformation, "Please don't write us anymore, except for love's sake." You see, love is still possible, especially among disciples of the Master, even when they don't see exactly eye to eye.

Anyway, check this out, brothers:
