By “it” I mean they are finally overturning Roe v Wade, arguably one of the worst Supreme Court rulings of all time. Does this mean that babies will now be forever safe in their mothers’ wombs? No. This is not a ban on this horrendous procedure. At base, it means that this issue will be […]
Why Did the Pope Cancel His Meeting with Patriarch Kirill?
May 2, 2022 by
I think what really going on is the same thing that has always been going on: Pope Francis wants to be credited with unity with the Orthodox Church and he doesn’t care how it happens. He doesn’t care if it’s with Bartholomew, who is frankly looking a bit peakèd these days since he couldn’t get […]
Why We Should Care More about America (But Probably Won’t)
April 29, 2022 by
One of the hallmarks of mass hysteria is the loss of critical thinking. The flip side is the ability to swallow whole-hog absurdities. We’ve seen this in the recent war with Ukraine. So far, we’ve been told that “the Ghost of Kiev” shot down six Russian jets, sailors stranded on Snake Island told the Russian […]
Our Twisted Sister
April 28, 2022 by
It’s no secret that Ukraine is experiencing a militarized resurgence of Nazism, forming a neo-Nazi militia called Azov Battalion which was subsequently incorporated into the national guard, making it an official part of the Ukrainian military. They wear uniforms adorned with SS symbols, swastikas, and patches celebrating Nazism. Their stated intent is to “lead the […]
Christ is Risen!

A slightly belated Easter greetings to the Monomakhos family! (But it’s still Bright Week so it’s all good.) The icon was sent to me as a Paschal greeting by Fr A James Bernstein, the proud father of Heather Sommer (the iconographer). Khouria Heather (who is also the wife of Fr David Sommer) is a an […]
The EP Attempts to Overtake Largest Autocephalous Church in Russia [Edited]
April 23, 2022 by
One of our longtime contributors, Joseph Lipper, who frequently speaks on behalf of the Phanar, has announced the Ecumenical Patriarch decided to take back the territory of the Russian Orthodox Church, beginning with Ukraine. This action was prompted by a request from the Ukrainian government, headed by former President Poroshenko, a man who illegally overthrew […]

This Time the Fly is in the Ointment
April 19, 2022 by
As Petros, one of our commentators just pointed out, it looks like many of the autocephalous Churches which traditionally receive Holy Chrism from Istanbul are saying “thanks, but no thanks” this year. Ordinarily, this ritual takes place every decade or so to demonstrate the unity of the Orthodox Church. Several of the local Churches send […]
New Rome in Second Place
April 16, 2022 by
Much discussion has been raised lately on the blog about Moscow being the Third Rome. Modern partisans of the Phanar indicate that this is not the case, hence their insistence upon calling Constantinople (which is the present-day Turkish metropolis of Istanbul) the “New Rome,” as opposed to the “Second Rome”. Leaving aside the fact that […]
Provocations Difficult to Ignore
April 15, 2022 by
A contact of ours in Odesa confirmed that Ukrainian troops are donning the uniforms of Russian soldiers in an attempt to pull off yet another provocation. Since this is happening as we speak, we thought we’d provide the evidence before the attack. Given the fact that the Ukrainian Army’s main tactics as of late are […]
