As an Orthodox Christian, I sometimes get a (good hearted) kick reading these quotations from theology professors describing something as a phenomena that to us is just normal, everyday part of our faith. There is so much rich history.
i doubt it. The leaders of Orthodox church, like the Russian Patriarch Kirill seem to have successfully integrated their religion with Western materialism like $40K watches, Maybach cars, etc. and enjoy close spiritual, social and economical connections to the Russian political and economical elite who have openly fully embraced the Western materialism. I think any good Orthodox follower should just follow their example.
