Mr Paul Gottfried asks one of the most compelling questions of our day: ‘Why does the Right fold so readily?’ (https://amgreatness.com/2021/03/17/fighting-woke-tyrants/, via LewRockwell.com)
We offer an answer with equal earnestness: Because of her willful separation from the Orthodox Church, everything in the West is infected with the same poison of rebellion against God: from Roman Catholic to Quaker, from monarchist to Marxist. There is no essential difference between a conservative and a liberal/progressive/Woke tyrant in the West; that is why conservatives ‘fold so readily’: Their ideological enemies are actually their spiritual brethren, however dim the realization may be to all of them. Thus, when the Right acquiesces to the Left, it is only the outward manifestation of the inner reality. Those institutions that hew closest to what remains of Orthodoxy in the West decay the slowest, but all are dying, as may be readily seen in what is considered her most conservative institution, the papacy.
To paraphrase Fyodr Tyutchev, one of the leading men of letters in Russia in the 19th hundredyear, there are only two forces at work in the world: Revolution and the Orthodox Church. The West has rejected Orthodoxy for the past 1,000 years, so now she lives in throes of Revolution.
Outside the Orthodox Church, there is death; within, there is life. Repent and find life, men of the West.
