Lol... Insane admission if this is true.

Saint John of Kronstadt was fiercely against pacifism. He was once offered an honorary seat on the Council of the University of Dorpat, of which Tolstoy was also member. He responded: “[I decline] the degrading honor of being placed on the same footing as that Godless man, Count Leo Tolstoy, the worst heretic of our evil days, and surpassing in intellectual pride all former heretics. I do not want to be associated with Antichrist. Moreover, I am astounded that the Council burns incense to an author who is the personification of Satan.” Saint John of Kronstadt was also a supporter of the Union of Russian Peoples (URP), the largest group within the Black Hundreds. The URP, and Black Hundreds generally, were an ultra-nationalist counter-revolutionary militia dedicated to fighting communists wherever they could be found. The URP championed “Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality,” and saw fit to violently defend both God and country.

Some incredible news coming out of ROCOR regarding blessed Fr. Seraphim Rose! ☦️

For us who are Christ-believing, it is not given to know the Father as His Only-begotten Son knows Him. To us it is given and commanded that we believe. Our merit is in believing and not in knowing. If all of us knew God by seeing, no one would have any merit. For what kind of merit is there in seeing and recognizing? However, not to see and yet to believe--in this there is merit, in this there is virtue, in this is our salvation. We are not worthy to see God and by seeing Him to know Him, for we are weakened by sin and alienated from God. But the mercy of God gives us faith while in this life, which is able to bring us closer to God and lead us into the Eternal Kingdom of seeing and knowing in the life to come. O my brethren, let us believe in Christ the Lord, for He knows. He does not speak by faith but by knowing. ☦️Saint Nikolai Velimirovic
