The abbot of the Agia Skepi Monastery of the Metropolis of Sidirokastro of the Church of Greece, Dositheos, spoke in an interview with the UOJ about the spiritual dangers of the modern world and cautioned against globalist trends directed against the Church and nations.
Abbot Dositheos stated that “the forces behind globalization” are seeking to destroy the spiritual and national foundations of peoples in order to create “a single global mix” and to impose a universal religion upon humanity.
According to the elder, these are “forces that hate faith and the homeland, striving to drive out native inhabitants and replace them with others.” He noted that millions of young Greeks have been forced to leave the country so that foreigners might take their place – with the goal of changing the nation’s spiritual and cultural identity.
“The world is ruled – outwardly, for above all is God – by heresies and by certain systems such as Freemasonry, the new world order, and other similar organizations,” the elder said. “They seek globalization so that there may no longer be nations, that all may be blended into one, in order to create a single, universal religion.”
According to Abbot Dositheos, this process involves not only politicians who obey external powers, but also some representatives of the Church hierarchy. “Instead of helping the people remain in their own land, the Church, on the contrary, facilitates their departure. The people have been left without spiritual enlightenment,” he remarked.
Fr. Dositheos emphasized that the ultimate goal of these global powers is to deprive people of spiritual grounding and make them easily controlled: “This is precisely what the world’s rulers desire, for when people are unhappy, they are easier to control – and thus globalization, a world government, and a universal religion can be established.”
Earlier, the UOJ reported that Metropolitan Seraphim of Kythera sent a letter of support to a Cypriot hierarch, criticizing the procedure of his condemnation.
