He insinuates that the man was demonic, and even an Antichrist! I lack the expertise to parse his thoughts about Shememann, but it's hard to take him too seriously after reading that piece. My guess is that the Bishop has absolutized his reading of the tradition so much that even many of the most traditional of Orthodox walk around as suspected heretics in his eyes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345891202347274863noreply@blogger.com
