Knight in dark armor Aristomenis leapt again today to defend the doyenne of Fordham's stable of "scholars", Sarah Riccardi.
He wrote :
"What’s astounding is how online engagement, such as this very post, continues to provide data that affirms Prof. RiccardiSwartz‘s groundbreaking contributions to the fields of anthropology and religious studies"
To this facile statement one opponent quickly retorted. He summed up the inappropriateness of Sarah Riccardi's approach in a nutshell :
Jovan : The fact that you laud using anthropology to “study” Orthodox Christianity is in large measure the reason you and the other Fordhamites fail to understand the converts you condemn. We “dangerous Fundies” approach Orthodoxy from Tradition and Scripture, not from a survey course."
