A basic element among the various neo-pagan groupings is their hostile, dismissive attitude towards the person of the Lord, the Prophets, the Holy Apostles and the Holy Fathers, which is fanatical to the point of egregiousness. It is, however, Saint Paul who is singled out for incredible malice and fanaticism, with all sorts of fabrications being levelled against him. These are motivated by spite, involve the misrepresentation of the historical record and have become an obsession. We shall now proceed to mention a cross-section of the neo-pagan claims about Saint Paul and comment on them briefly to reveal in a clear manner the hatred of contemporary pagans towards the person and work of Saint Paul. Among the unfounded and defamatory claims of ...

Death is a bridge that takes us to Christ. As soon as we close our eyes, we open them again in eternity. We’ll present ourselves before Christ. In the next life, we’ll experience the grace of God ‘in high definition’.

We shall make a few comments on a passage that Saint Sophrony wrote about Saint John the Baptist. The Lord exalted Saint John the Baptist and bore testimony that he is the greatest among them that are born of women, because he made himself the least (see Matt. 11:11). Although he had all the glory in Israel and many people even considered him to be Christ, he put himself under the shoes of the Lord and witnessed that he was unworthy to unloose the latchets of Christ’s shoes (see Luke 3:15-16, Mark. 1:7 and Acts 13:24-25), and that ‘Christ must increase, but I must decrease’ (cf.
