How World Orthodoxy is Distorting The Teachings of The Holy Fathers – Part 2

In a previous article we tried to show how World Orthodoxy is making its own new religion as it goes. Today we can show you another effort in the same direction.

In a new book freshly released by the Humanitas publishing company in Romania, we are told that recently reposed (3 years ago) Elder Arsenie Papacioc may have written this about the Legion of Archangel Michael anti-communist movement in Romania’s early 20th century:

… this movement was a shame of the past that should disgust anyone with an illumined mind …

(sic !)

In other words, we are taught that Fr Arsenie has basically denied the very same movement which he had belonged to, and contributed to his persecution and incarceration for many years …

It is funny because we thought exactly the opposite about Fr Arsenie’s stance on this movement with which he gladly aligned himself in the past:
