Our Holy Fathers of Orthodoxy have always stressed the importance of doing the right thing for the right purpose, a principle outside of which there is no Orthodoxy. This understanding is very fundamental to the Faith, and one could say it really forms the base of Orthodox Christianity. We are often thought in the Church

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

Again we have to start by referring back to Blessed Seraphim Rose’s Orthodox Survival Course because this subject ties closely into this invaluable Orthodox resource. Fr Seraphim covered this sort of topic extensively in his work and we pray to him to not allow us to go astray from the direction he has shown us

While the ink is still wet on our previous post … http://orthodoxaustralia.org/2014/06/12/it-is-all-about-putin/ … if there has even been any news that fit our view better than a glove fits a hand, then this is it ! http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/does-putins-brain-believe-that-the-united-states-is-the-kingdom-of-antichrist “Alexander Dugin, the man known as “Putin’s Brain“, believes that the U.S.-led New World Order is the “kingdom

There has been a lot of talk about the ongoing efforts of getting Orthodoxy to bow down to the Pope. Judging by the way the events are developing we are inclined to believe the contrary – that the Pope and the Catholic Church bowing down to World Orthodoxy is a distinct possibility. We therefore are

The efforts of World Orthodoxy to infiltrate every place where traces of True Orthodoxy still remain, and “help” re-write the teachings of the Holy Fathers are relentless and omnipresent. We have seen how for example many passages in various books published by the Platina Monastery in recent years have had entire paragraphs removed or re-written

How easy it is, without a proper True Orthodox understanding, to fall victim to the charismatic revival spirit – the spirit of Francis of Assisi. The following story caught our attention and we believe it is important to make a few remarks around it, because it is characteristic even to mainstream Orthodoxy nowadays. The shepherds

If anyone asked us to define the mystery of iniquity and lawlessness unfolding in the end times (spoken of in the Bible and referred to by our Holy Fathers) in one sentence it would be like this: “through appearing of fighting against unspeakable iniquity, it shall be possible for the lawlessness to call itself righteousness”

The most important trait of Orthodox Christians under charismatic revival influences (the spirit of Francis of Assissi) is the desire to be seen by others, not by God, as being a “true believer”. Their image in the eyes of the people and the world is their primary concern. They do not do the good things

“During the times of Antichrist the place of idols will be taken by those in power through the promotion of worldly wisdom, and will demand worship for themselves; anyone who will obey the laws of civil society of those times, although without directly clashing with the faith, he/she will be a partaker into the dominion

More details have surfaced on the long awaited synod we briefly talked about in a previous post. The most important of all is probably the word “unanimous”! http://www.asianews.it/news-en/Fanar:-Churches-reach-agreement-on-pan-Orthodox-Holy-Synod-in-2016-30509.html “According to some reports, the great Synod of the Orthodox Churches will be attended by 20 bishops from each Church (if each church has that many), every

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/10/orthodox-church-council_n_4931391.html After being continuously postponed for many years, it is official, it has been finally decided: the first “Orthodox” Ecumenical Council in 1,200 years will be held in Istanbul in 2016. Which means that in 2 years time, all the “canonical” Churches will get together for what our Holy Fathers have warned so direly, saying

The Church is where the Truth is, not where the many are ! We are sheep, but we are reason-endowed sheep; therefore, we have a right to speak. As for shepherds, the Good Shepherd has forewarned us that many of them are robbers and thieves who do not enter by the gate. The rational sheep

In our previous article we have seen how Metropolitan Hilarion has appointed Vladimir Putin as the savior of Christianity. “RT online reported that Metropolitan Hilarion, foreign relation chief of the Russian Orthodox Church presented evidence and statistics that stated, “Every five minutes one Christian was dying for his or her faith in some part of

With every passing day, things turn more and more towards realizing our greatest fears. From the day we started this blog about a year ago we have been trying to show that the world is preparing to fight a “western antichrist” (who would in fact be the false antichrist). Today we hear, none other than

Michael Snyder of The Economic Collapse Blog, who’s articles we linked to in the past, has done something that should put to shame any Orthodox Bishop for their silence and complicity. Even a non-orthodox can see what an Orthodox Bishop can’t (or won’t). In an recent article Michael Snyder has shown how the Pope and

As we have witnessed just a few days ago, Blessed George’s calciu body was found completely incorrupt 7 years after being buried. In our previous article we mentioned how the Blessed’s hand is seen moving under the vestments as he lays in the coffin. What could this mean? The answer may be found in Blessed

Update Dec 15 2013: http://orthodoxaustralia.org/2013/12/15/why-was-blessed-george-calcius-hand-moving/ Update Dec 13 2013: It is now that the words of Blessed George Calciu on his dying bed are beginning to be fulfilled: “They are going to fight with us even when we are dead. But we are going to be with you and you will be defending us. And
