METROPOLITAN NEOPHYTOS: KEEP AWAY FROM IDEOLOGIES!
Readers of these pages and keen observers of geopolitics may have noted big changes in the works.
"The West in particular has identified itself with a failed paradigm: Modernism. We don't advocate a return to medieval times or to a theocracy, or even a monarchy. These have come and gone as well. What we do try to hammer home is that the present is not inevitable or our predestination. We must become aware that the Modernist paradigm is not the result of an act of God, the law of nature or even something as ridiculous and presumptuous as 'the end of history'. Everything that is man-made represents a choice. It does not have to be this way. Anything worth while, starts at home".

May 23, 2025 Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou Homilies: "Hide yourself for a very short while, until the anger of the Lord is past" (with subtitles).
As it happens, His Eminence, Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou has comments going in a similar direction. "Stay away from ideologies", he says. Indeed, we are watching the end of Modernist ideas. Another passage from the manuscript:
"The 20th century was the battleground where the two totalitarian branches of the collectivist Idealists (i.e. Kant and Hegel) vied for spiritual and physical control over humanity. The amount of death, destruction and misery they ushered in is perhaps unprecedented in human history.
"By the mid-20th century, the right-wing, or nationalist Hegelians, or National Socialists (or Nazis) had been defeated by an alliance of the left-wing Hegelians and liberalism. By the end of the century, the social systems favored by the Hegelians of the left had also been exposed to the world for the lie and deception it is.
"Liberalism at this point is so irredeemably bankrupt, that a return to even the most conservative form is no longer an option. The final stage of that relativist ideology has been exposed. Not even the freedom of the individual was ever a moral absolute. Liberalism in its ultimate iteration (globalism, wokeism) has proved it has failed too."
The video shows a segment from the Interview His Eminence gave to Father Kyprian from Romania on 8 August 2024 in Evrychou, the temporary see of the Holy Metropolis of Morphou. The permanent see is under Turkish occupation since 1974.
As war in being waged on Russia for the principle of having violated Ukraine's sovereignty, for the last fifty years the principle of Cyprus' sovereignty has played no major role in the world of geopolitics. So much for the post WW2 rules based order rooted in the liberal Open Society Project.
