Not sure if Heer has unconsciously adsorbed America's individualistic streak and incorporated it into his idiosyncratic theology, but his thrice-holy-blessed-and-transubstatiated-spoon/temple theology is silly and non-normative. <br /><br />What he is taping into, correctly in my opinion, is the tendency among too many Orthodox bishops/priests/laity to compromise with the world and bring in secular assumptions (about this or that - including politics) into their thinking.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152024447008244670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-89635289731996782332020-11-06T10:47:31.925-06:002020-11-06T10:47:31.925-06:00Who is a fascist?

A catechumen told me he didn’t understand how the Church which owns the Truth could ‘bow to the state’ by adopting pandemic safety measures. He seems to be a fan of Jay Dyer, and the last time I saw him at church he didn’t even wear a mask.
