Faith and Heritage is offering a new series on why its readers should reject Orthodox Christianity. There's no series on why its readers should reject any other denomination. There's also not a series on why it should accept its own. There's surprisingly not even a series against Catholicism to be found, which is peculiar given the size and power dynamics at play. But we have a frontal attack on one entire denomination by a site whose mission purports to be about defending and promoting our identity from globalism within Christianity.
Orthodoxy has much going for it that appeals to people interested in preserving their traditional, European heritage. Orthodoxy is inherently archaic. Its theology, morality, aesthetics, and worship are rooted in centuries long past. Compared to the fast-moving, ever-shifting ethos of our day, Orthodoxy seems like a breath of fresh air.
Is it not a breath of fresh air? It is.
It exudes stability and resistance to changing cultural pressures.
Yep.
In theory and aesthetics, Orthodoxy has much to offer Europeans and Americans longing for home. In practice and discipline, however, Orthodoxy has changed with the times and is not the implicitly pro-white spiritual home we are looking for.
Since our case is immediately brought up as the final proof that one should not become an Orthodox Christian, it's incumbent upon me to defend why I remain Orthodox despite being living proof why one shouldn't become Orthodox.
To put it plainly, Orthodoxy is as guilty of spiritually starving our sheep just as is every other Christian denomination. [emphasis added]
So why single that one pozzed denomination out among all the pozzed denominations? Are we to hold our breath for a series on why we should not seek belonging in Presbyterianism or Baptism, either? Of course not.
Unfortunately, the Orthodox leaders in the West have felt comfortable with putting us on the outside of Christ’s pasture. Woe unto them for doing so. We should not expect to find spiritual fellowship and nourishment if we venture into their folds. They’ll kick us out for one thing alone — being proudly white. That is a deal-breaker.
The proposition that my troubles are a "deal breaker" would be more compelling if there were a sizable denomination which weren't also aggressively degenerate, globalist, and viciously anti-white. As disgusting as it is that Western Orthodoxy has jumped in with both feet to embrace an overtly phyletist hostility toward and rejection of one racial identity and one racial identity alone may be, the problem's not unique to that denomination or even to Christianity or even religion itself. One can't even enjoy a burger at McDonald's without being reminded that it has a special 365Black program to favor one race over another, and institutional Orthodox Christianity in the West is just another cucked franchise.
Part of the problem here lies in a fundamental misunderstanding of Orthodoxy by many Reformed and Protestant observers, imagining that it's pretty much Catholicism without the Pope. What's missing is that the entire point of the schism of 1054 is that parishioners have not only a right but a duty to reject a corrupted clergy's demands when they're clearly antithetical to Holy Tradition. What many don't realize is that even the clergy in Byzantium aligned with the Pope against "schism" and it was only after centuries of pressure from parishioners and spirit-led priests that the clergy reluctantly did the right thing.
Many leftist Orthodox converts are chortling publicly about my having been "excommunicated" and "denied the Mysteries" as proof of my supposed failure to become and remain Orthodox. These are ephemeral victories, and there have been countless similar corruptions in Orthodoxy's long and complicated history which have also been corrected over time. Over a long enough timeline, authentic Orthodox Christianity always prevails over these local and temporal pressures, and I see no reason to believe this case will be any different. Not that I care. If institutional Orthodox Christianity will remain overtly and specifically anti-white until the Eschaton, I'm content with being contra mundum in perpetuity.
I do not believe God created a race of mankind whose will to survive is a grave sin beyond redemption. And if he did, it certainly wasn't mine.
The author points out that I don't have much of a parish life to rely on, not that the conundrum's unique to Orthodoxy. As our movement grows, our options will grow. With time, it'll become clear that the confused diocesan mess in North America was part of a divine miracle allowing a folk revolt against clerical corruption to once again prevail against the secret societies and elite social pressures working against the catholicity of the Church. As powerful as Cuckodoxy may appear, bear in mind that we only need one of the several dioceses to break the shield wall and that one will become the permanent home of the steadily growing number of non-ethnic "Amerikaner" converts who aren't allowed in the others.
Generally speaking, the problem of a lack of parish life is one which could and should be at least partially ameliorated by encouraging and supporting efforts at (the good kind of) ecumenical fellowship between Christian nationalists of different denominations. The steady growth of our cause has yet to reach a point where there are many plausible local options for families, but that will take time. It's a problem that's certainly not unique to Orthodoxy, and it's one that's exacerbated by encouraging a culture amaong ourselves where we tear one another down instead of trying to find intelligent means of mutual support that are respectful of our heartfelt and meaningful theological differences.
