This moment is an unprecedented opportunity to: A) Expose the nature of Jewish power, and B) Discuss the appropriate, canonical, Patristic response it. The State of Israel is hard at work helping the entire world see (A), to the degree that it’s almost unnecessary to comment on it. As for (B), I’ve already provided this in a way that does not exist anywhere else in the English-speaking world. It’s more important now than it’s ever been before that we respond with a measured, Orthodox, Christian attitude since the temptation and opportunity to go off the Royal Path is going to be everywhere. We must resist the Devil’s trap, even - maybe especially - when it comes to dealing with those who hate us. The answers are compiled in this book.

I grew up watching “In Living Color,” a show that made fun of everyone in good spirits. Blacks and whites could insult each other for stereotypes and remain friends at the end of the day. It was a better time. https://youtu.be/hkQQGsOegv0?si=COVKbsxpi0dfAkr6

After highlighting some important benefits of 20th-century theology, St. Seraphim Rose notes in his "Blessed Augustine" book that “there has been a negative side also of this ‘patristic revival.’ For one thing, in the 20th century it has been and remains very largely an ‘academic’ phenomenon: abstract, remote from actual life, bearing the stamp of some of the petty passions of the modern academic world - superiority, smugness, lack of charity in criticizing the views of others, the formation of parties or cliques of those who are ‘in-the-know’ and are aware of which views are ‘in fashion’ and which are not. Some students have such an excessive zeal for the ‘patristic revival’ that they find ‘Western influence’ everywhere they look, become hypercritical of the ‘Westernized’ Orthodoxy of the past several centuries, and have an extremely disdainful attitude towards some of the most respected Orthodox teachers of those centuries (as well as of the present day, and even of antiquity) because of their ‘Western’ views. Little do such ‘zealots’ suspect that they are thus cutting away the Orthodox ground from under their own feet and reducing the unbroken Orthodox tradition to a little ‘party-line’ which a small group of them shares (supposedly) with the ‘Great Fathers’ of the past. In this case the ‘patristic revival’ comes perilously close to a kind of Protestantism...It is usually those who cry the loudest against ‘Western influence’ and are the least forgiving of those whose theology is not ‘pure’ - who are themselves the most infected by Western influences.”
