St Philaret Epistle 1983 on preserving morals today

Post by Barbara »

I just found this while searching on youtube.
The background shows Metropolitan Philaret presiding at the Canonization of St Xenia in 1978 ;
the words on the screen are of an Epistle of his discussing moral topics.

The great Rocor First Hierarch quotes Khomiakov to amplify his instructions regarding Orthodox marriage.

So much of what St Philaret says is even more true today than it was then. But it is surprising to hear that these problems
had surfaced so plainly even by the early 1980s in America and the West that he felt it imperative to warn the flock about all these dangers.
