We have all been rather busy this past month so we have not had much time to update things. However, we just added three previously unpublished epistles of renowned contemporary Saint Luke of Crimea the Physician with kind permission for re-publication. We are glad to bring this English translation of these epistles to the public.

We have added a new chapter in the series on Masonism (the rest are still pending) and we will soon add a few previously-unpublished-in-English letters of the well-known Saint Luke of Crimea that are of great interest; we shall also finish off older sections of the site before we proceed to start a new section where we shall discuss the life and works of a recently reposed saintly figure of the Church, crazy-John the Fool for Christ. We shall do this for we have often discussed in this site what is not Orthodoxy; or used the words of contemporary and older Elders. The time has come however to examine the life of a simple man who was a lay person but (even though not canonised yet, of course) will prove without a doubt to be one of the greatest contemporary Greek saints. May he intercede for us with his prayers!

Christ is risen! Zealotism II is still pending although we have added important counsel on the problem of Zealotism by the late father of blessedness, the renowned saintly Epiphanios Theodoropoulos. As promised, we begin our study of Masonism by adapting a series of talks by the late ever-memorable metropolitan Mytilenaeus from Stomion, Larisa, Greece, as these were presented to students of theology in the past. The first two parts are already online.

We continue with yet another article against Ecumenism that connects it to the New Age movement. This artile leads us in a natural way to examine the Masonic rubrics and their offshoots. We shall then return to an examination of the final article (still pending) on Zealotism, which brings a historical perspective of what the Fathers of the Church did in similar periods of Ecclesiastical History and how that is very different from what they do. We expect the additional material to be completed in the next couple of months. A blessed Lenten struggle to all!

A number of articles against Ecumenism have been placed in the Patristic section with corrections. We also added an article on the "sister" of Ecumenism, New Age, and the way it views the Antichrist and the Pope's role expected to be played for the future of the movement. We will bring some important information that corroborates the information found in this article by N. Zisis (provided here with kind permission).

Two important articles against Syncretism have been added in the section of Dogmatics. The Patristic section has also seen the addition of patristic counsels on the topic of obedience to our Spiritual Father when he begins to heretise. We will also unmask the actions of the Ecumenists as these become available over the course of the various "theological proceedings" (*cough*). The first one is already in the Patristic Section (eventually these will be moved to a new Anti-Ecumenist section).

The Orthodox tradition is compared and juxtaposed with the Frankish tradition here.

We have an article on the way prayers are to be recited during the Liturgy.

We have added an article on the issue of Deaconesses and more general the problem on Ordination of Females.
