Surprised he can't read the tea leaves any better than this. The Church's income largely comes from '3rd world' countries which are mostly on Russia's side in that they think USA and the 'West' provoked the war to destroy Russia.

I guess it's a measure of how much the Church hates Orthodox Christianity.

It has nothing to do with the Orthodox church; he's just a standard-issue liberal. And the Church's income still comes overwhelmingly from the West. Its adherents are increasingly found in the third world, as is also true of the Anglicans, but that's different.

It has everything to do with it. The Orthodox Church never sanctioned usury; the Roman Catholic Church outsourced it to the Jews.

The schism is very real and isn't reducible to a word.

It's about more than a single word, yes, but the schism has always been pretty one-sided. It's the Orthodox church that made a big deal out of it, and even they aren't that exercised about it these days. The idea that any Pope - and this Pope in particular, who is practically an atheist - wants to see Russia defeated and/or destroyed because of his hostility to the Orthodox church is ridiculous.

That's what I'm getting at.

I'm gonna paraphrase Dugin here. One way to look at the history of Liberalism: it is the successive destruction of humanity's collective identities. First they replaced Catholic Christianity as the unifying identity of Western Europeans with some artificial nonsense about nation states, which itself is being replaced by an an even more artificial loyalty to the civil institutions (i.e., the Open Society). Today it seems as if the are trying to erase they most important of man's collective identities, that of man and woman. And one day, humanity itself.

The Orthodox Churches stand in stark contrast to this. They are not universal. They are rooted in the civilizations they find themselves in: The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Russian Orthodox Church, &c.

It's not about the Pope's personal opinion on anything. For dialectics at least this is wrong.

He is simply the byproduct, perhaps even the culmination, of a line of historical development. He literally cannot help himself.

I mean we call Liberals NPCs for a reason.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I can agree with all of that, then. This would be Aleksandr Dugin who drew these interesting parallels? I haven't read anything by him, any recs?

I've only read Fascism: Borderless and Red.

I've purchased Templars of the Proletariat and The Great Awakening vs the Great Reset but haven't gotten around to them yet.

You can find his work on Arktos including ebook versions.

Think about the level of irony. The only thing remaining of Catholic Christianity in Europe after capitalism hollowed it out is their retarded obsession with the JQ. It's sad.
