Three Trojan Horses: Insider Attempts to Disorient the Orthodox
April 18, 2017 by
The Orthodox “left” is waging their offensive on three fronts. Since the vast majority of the Orthodox faithful in this country are unaware of such machinations by the few but determined intellectual elites—clergy and laity—engaged in this spiritual warfare, I shall borrow Orthodox columnist Rod Dreher’s use of Homer’s “Trojan Horse” as an apt metaphor for the primary tactic of those elites.1 In fact, I intend to triple-down on that metaphor. Like the celebrated tactical ploy of the ancient Greeks, the contemporary Orthodox Trojan Horses appear to be gifts but are, instead, full of clandestine theological warriors poised to sack the Church.

You would think that the Lavender wing of the various Orthodox jurisdictions would get the hint by now that the normalization of sodomy ain’t happening. No doubt this book was planned before the election. Judging by the responses of some of our correspondents, I’d say that the loss of the uber-compentent Hillary to an oafish, […]
American Psychological Association Course Correction: Sexual Orientation and ‘Gender Identity’ Not Fixed After All

I just saw this over at AIO and asked for permission to reprint it here. The comments above the essay are by Fr. Hans Jacobse.

More Pithy Thoughts From the Protodeacon

There is something unseemly about men who claim authority for their specious arguments because they studied under great teachers. They believe that because they were dutiful students that their ideas carry a weight that in fact they do not have. It’s self-indulgent, rooted in the belief that pedigree elevates them as spokesmen and as leaders. […]
The Memory Hole

Beginning today, readers of Monomakhos will notice a new heading where “Fr Robert Arida” used to be. We’re calling it “The Memory Hole.” The name comes from George Orwell’s prophetic book 1984. In that book, the reader learned that the Ministry of Truth was able to shut up all discussion about inconvenient facts by shunting […]
Shooting the Prisoners in Indiana

In case anybody had any misconceptions, the Culture Wars are now over. The Brownshirts have won in an overwhelming manner. As Rod Dreher has recently pointed out, Gay, Inc. is now the reigning orthodoxy of the American Republic. All that is left now are a few mopping-up operations and shooting the prisoners. Orthodox believers of […]
Preaching Another Gospel

Hitting a Nerve On more than a few occasions, we have used this cliche when it was deemed appropriate. We do a lot of that at Monomakhos. It’s not always intentional but we are not shy from proclaiming the truth as we see it. Taking this position will inevitably strike the proverbial nerve. As the […]
