Must We Struggle Against Heretics?

"If someone tells you that to be good Christians, you must engage in a fight against heretics and evil people, that person is leading you astray. We fight against the Antichrist by manifesting love toward our neighbor. We stand against demons through our love for one another. And our 'apocalyptic spirit' is born from the awareness that each of us could die at any moment and that we must make use of every minute in our lives to show love to others, not to judge them."

- Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna (+2019)


Translated from the online Bulgarian quote.
