Also, it’s important to note that most of the extremism in Orthodoxy is not MAGA Trumpers but trad futurists who are interested in a monarchy. They will often say they are apolitical because “their worldview is Orthodoxy.” That’s not apolitical. That’s far right.
American Orthodoxy is becoming a haven for the far right. Bishops need to address the extremism problem that has taken hold both on and offline.

When I say that the far-right Orthodox contingent’s voice is outsized, this is what I mean. The fact that a young convert (with no official capacity) from America wants to interfere with a diocese that he is not part of, and encourages his followers to do the same, is a problem.

Kirill is a delusional religious authoritarian. His desire for control and power are resulting in deaths. We can only hope he is brought before a spiritual court by the other patriarchs.
Patriarch Kirill tells Putin the head of state sometimes "has to take fateful, formidable decisions" that "involve victims."
He compares Putin to Alexander Nevsky, the medieval ruler who defeated Teutonic knights, and prays he'll stay in power "until the end of the century."

It’s part of the embedded “tradition” discourse that must be understood in relationship to the way Orthodox engage with culture. George is right, sociology and anthropology can help us understand this calendar resistance much more effectively than theology.
The resistance to using an accurate calendar cannot be explained theologically. It can only be explained sociologically--i.e., there is something about that modern Orthodox mentality that insists on (illogical) difference to all things Western.
