And what does that have to do with anything?

That your claims of Orthodoxy being Enlightenment crazed is nonsense

First, orthodoxy isn't just "monasteries"

Second, I have just applied your logic that something is bad and must be hated if it doesn't magically protect you against enlightement nonsense. Nothing is going to make the world inmune against that

For the best understanding I am saying it is to be found in monasteries

Monasteries alone can't rule a country.

But without monasteries a country can’t be worth anything

and we look at fascism

and we see that tere were plenty of monasteries

Like during Franco's rule, for example

Plenty of them to steal from apparently

And do not say "those don't count because they are catholic"

Okay

What are you even talking about? Are you even aware of how much Franco promoted Christianity?

So according to your logic if the communists managed to destroy all monasteries in Russia, then it means that it wouldn't be worth saving anyway and might as well remain communist?

There is that magical idea

That something is terrible if it doesn't create some magical barrier

That protects you from anything in the future

It seems that to be good, you don't have to achieve true prosperity during your time, but during eternity

The Virgin Mary protected the church in Russia. Your hypotheticals don’t mean anything in a world where God prevents such things from happening

You doubt God’s providence

russia has been ridden with communist, ridden with abortions now too. the govenrment is democratic and protects muslims among many other things.

I don't doubt God's providence. I just don't assume anything good has to enjoy a protective providence for eternity.

And yet we know the whole world will become Orthodox, that even our saints say Rome will be corrected.

Big surprise, orthodox saints talk fondly about orthodoxy.

They speak truth

Not that there are not many things to correct about rome in the wordly sense.

St. John of Kronstadat spoke of the clown masses and the liturgical reform of Vatican II

Way before it even happened

And the children of Fatima already heard of inner fights etc etc.

So how do you think to change society with the churches in turmoil?

Well, either some righteous leader will somehow rise to a position of power, be it in wordly rule or the Church, or chaos will reuslt in a disaster and good people will have to rebuild

Which leads us to fascism

Is that not hoping in God’s providence?

Yes, I hipe that god will bring us a great fascist dictator that will implant a monarchy

Gotta go. Bye, my autistic compadres.

But you yourself can’t determine how God chooses to implement anything

If you manage to rise to the top then it means God has chosen you.

If you dont, nor do you want to, it means God hasn't chosen you to lead. But this means your job is to follow

You risk failing and being considered rebellious

Sounds kind of like Christ
