THE VOICE OF ORTHODOXY: METROPOLITAN SERAPHIM OF
PIRAEUS
By Protopresbyter Theodoros Zisis, professor of the
Theological School of the Aristotelian University of Hjessaloniki, From the
Greek Orthodox magazine “Theodromia” (©eoSgonCa), June 13,h, 2014 (the article
was initially composed in 2007). Translated by the Holy Monastery of
Pantokratoros (Melissochori, Tljessaloniki, Greece) and edited for
clarification by the Greek Orthodox Brotherhood of St. Poimen.
For decades now the pan-heresy of Ecumenism infects
the Orthodox faith and life. The shepherds, the guardians of the flock who
should be alert and chase away the wolves of the papist and protestant
heresies, many of them keep silent and hide, either out of fear and cowardice
or so that they may not fall in disfavor of the powerful, while others have
succumbed to the heresies and like wolves in sheepskins spiritually maul the
flock. Many presbyters and monks have assumed the protection of the faith but
so has the flock itself as well, all of them with spectacular candor.
