Archbishop Mark of Philadelphia and Eastern Pennsylvania
"So brothers and sisters, let us listen to the holy Gospel, and look at St. Tikhon of Zadonsk and all the saints. I was searching in my heart and wondering if is there any saint we simply recognize for their teaching, because as we listen to the Gospel today, those who teach and do not do shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, but those who do and teach, the doing before the teaching, and actually the doing is teaching—St. Paul talks about being living epistles—shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."

On one side is the whole Eastern civilization, and on the other is the so-called Western, Euro-American civilization, based on the imperial idea, a synthesis of pagan Rome that deified the emperor and the primacy of the Roman bishop.

Arrogantly assuming they know, when in fact they do not (having a gadfly’s appearance of knowledge), scientism fancies logic only when it suits it, quickly to discard and dispense with such rigors when the heat comes. “All human knowledge comes through sensory experience” sets their assumptions, yet when pressed as to whether this proposition itself is a fact of sensory data (which it obviously is not), universal claims suddenly dissipate and this great commandment is hailed as an obvious given. It’s a new maxim, a new commandment from the gods of the Enlightenment, and you dare not ask such questions. Yet if science is so groundbreaking and revolutionary in character, why are its high priests so afraid of these basic questions of epistemology?
