“The rot of apostasy is a result of an attack of the unbaptized upon the Church, and the subterfuge of communists, atheists, and libertines working their way covertly through the monasteries and seminary system in the 1930’s to destroy the Church from within.”
That wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Now is the time, with the truly magnificent +BXVI, to cut out that rot.
The Orthodox know very well of attack from within, having experienced many decades of it under Soviet domination.
