In One Faith, in One Love, in One Church: A Moment of Hope and a Call to Return
by Bishop Zachaeous

Last Sunday, in commemoration of the 1,700th anniversary of the first ecumenical gathering at First Council of Nicaea (325 AD), Pope Leo XIV issued an Apostolic Letter titled In Unitate Fidei (“In the Unity of Faith”). In that letter he recalls the text of the Nicene‑Constantinopolitan Creed in its original form, without the addition of the Latin phrase Filioque. This is, for the Orthodox Christian mind and heart, no small thing.

⸻

The Creed: More Than Dogma, It Is Prayer

The Creed formulated at Nicaea and refined at Constantinople (381) has never been simply a theological statement among many; it is the living, liturgical, incarnational confession of the Church. It is sung in every Divine Liturgy; it is breathed into every Baptism; it is etched into the life of the Church. When we say, “I believe …” we are not uttering a summary of beliefs, but entering into a communal, historical, and transcendent proclamation of the one God who has revealed Himself to us.

For the Orthodox, the integrity of that text is not up for negotiation — it is for faithful proclamation. The words were crafted by the undivided Church of the first centuries as an act of worship, not as a marketing slogan or modern treaty. The words shape our understanding of Father, Son and Holy Spirit; our vision of salvation, the Church, and the world.

⸻

The Filioque: A Wound in the Creed’s Stream

The Latin term Filioque (“and from the Son”) was inserted into the Western version of the Creed to affirm that the Holy Spirit proceeds “from the Father and the Son.” Eastern Orthodox Christians object principally on two grounds: theological (the meaning of the Spirit’s procession) and canonical (the unilateral addition to the Creed). Scholars generally agree that although local Western churches had used the phrase earlier, it was first used liturgically in Rome under Pope Benedict VIII around 1014.

To the Orthodox mind this matters for several reasons:
1. It was not a decision of an ecumenical council of the undivided Church. The Creed, as finalized in the West and East, was meant to bind all Christians and its text shaped the Church’s unity.
2. It altered the theological balance of how the Trinity is confessed — Orthodox theology emphasises the Father as the single arche (source) of the Godhead, with the Son begotten and the Spirit proceeding from the Father alone, while admitting the “through the Son” notion in the economy of salvation (without the ex Filio clause).
3. It signalled a deeper strand of division — not only doctrinal, but ecclesiological and liturgical. The unilateral change became one contributing factor (among many) to the East–West Schism of 1054.

⸻

Why This Letter Matters for Orthodoxy

When Pope Leo XIV recalls the Creed without the Filioque insertion and emphasises that “the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed … is the common heritage of Christians” and “can be the basis and reference point for this journey [toward full communion].” , we Orthodox hear a hopeful note: the starting point of unity is our common prayer, not simply institutional compromise.

From the Orthodox vantage point, this carries at least three important implications:
• It affirms the original text of the Creed as central — not a modified version written later by one part of the Church.
• It invites a conception of ecumenism rooted in shared faith and worship, not only structural agreements.
• It implicitly acknowledges that when ecclesial unity is pursued, the foundation must be the one faith once delivered to the saints — not merely an alliance of convenience.

Thus, while we remain mindful of the many unresolved issues between East and West (jurisdiction, primacy, liturgy, theology of the Church, West’s theological developments, East’s perspective of tradition), this letter gives Orthodox Christians a reason to hope. Not hope in a superficial sense, but hope grounded in the historical faith of the undivided Church and the present possibility of repentance and reconciliation.

⸻

The Call for Real Reconciliation

However — and here the call is serious — reconciliation will not come through mere theological shortcuts or polite gestures. The Creed is not to be treated like a bill of sale or an aesthetic ornament of unity. True reconciliation demands:
• Repentance: Both East and West must be willing to examine how we may have trusted our own agendas over the unity of the Church. As the Pope writes: “The restoration of unity among Christians … will only be possible through a patient, long and sometimes difficult journey of mutual listening and acceptance.”
• Return to shared Tradition of the Undivided Church: Not simply outward agreement but inward fidelity to the faith the Fathers confessed.
• Honest acknowledgment of what has divided us: including the Filioque, but also broader ecclesiological and liturgical issues — not minimised, but cleared out.
• Willingness to receive one another as the Lord receives us: in truth and love: Catholic-Orthodox dialogue must not see one side as the “winner” and the other as the “weaker”, but both as sons and daughters who rejoice in Christ’s Body.

Pope Leo writes: “What unites us is much greater than what divides us.” We would add this important caveat: only if what unites us is Christ in His fullness — His Body, His Spirit, His Truth — will that unity bear fruit.

⸻

Our Response as Orthodox Believers

So where does this leave us, as Orthodox Christians who are committed to the fullness of the faith, yet longing for the visible unity of the Church?
• We give thanks, with gratitude, for the Pope’s acknowledgment of the Creed prior to the Filioque. It is a meaningful step.
• We pray, not for paper agreements, but for the grace of the Holy Spirit — Who proceeds from the Father — to gather us again.
• We commit ourselves, in our own life, as the Church of the Orthodox Tradition, to live the Creed, to sing it, to breathe it. Not as mere words, but in daily discipleship, in our liturgies, in our love for one another.
• We invite others, brothers and sisters in Christ of the West, to join us: not by sacrificing truth, not by abandoning patristic witness, but by walking together in humility, confession, and hope.

⸻

Reflection Questions & Invitation
1. When I recite the Creed, do I feel the weight and the reality of what I am professing — “one God, Father almighty … and the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life”?
2. What divisions within the Body of Christ pain me personally — and how might I pray and act for reconciliation (even in small ways) between East and West?
3. Where in my life is ecclesial unity more than institutional — and how can I participate in the unity of the Spirit by living love for my neighbour, liturgy, prayer and witness?
4. Will I join a moment of prayer this week specifically for Christian unity — not in abstraction, but in concrete love for those Christians whose path differs from mine?

⸻

In One Faith. In One Love. In One Church.

Let us pray:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, true God from true God, begotten, not made — You who for our salvation came down from heaven — may we be gathered into Your one flock. Eternal Spirit of God, come and renew us in faith, enkindle us with hope, inflame us with charity. Come, Love of the Father and the Son, unite our hearts and minds, so that with wisdom we become once again what we are in Christ: one. Amen.

In the unity of faith,
Bishop Zachaeous

THE CURTAIN HAS BEEN PULLED BACK
AND SOME OF US SAW IT START TO MOVE LONG BEFORE TODAY

A lot of people today feel shocked by the level of deception coming from the media, entertainment world, and political machine. But for some of us, the warning signs appeared decades ago. My own awakening began around the Vietnam era, and it deepened years later when I served in the U.S. Army after the war. There is something different about hearing the truth from men who lived it rather than from the television clips that shaped national opinion.

One thing I learned quickly is that combat veterans—real combat veterans—rarely talk about their experiences. Most of them carry the burden quietly, respectfully, and privately. But there was one exception I noticed again and again. If you mentioned the lies the media told during the war, something changed. Men who normally kept their trauma sealed behind thick walls would suddenly speak with conviction. Their voices were steady, their memories sharp, and their sense of betrayal unmistakable. The truth mattered too much to remain quiet. Their silence ended not for their own sake, but because the truth had been twisted—because the media had rewritten their sacrifice.

That brings me to the Tet Offensive, and Walter Cronkite’s declaration to the nation that it was an American defeat. The hardened veterans I served alongside knew the truth. Tet was, by all military measures, a decisive victory for the United States and South Vietnamese forces. North Vietnam suffered catastrophic losses. The Viet Cong never recovered. And the embassy breach—the clip shown endlessly on television as if the war were collapsing—lasted only minutes. Yet the media told the nation that the war was lost, and that changed everything. The men who were there could barely speak of their pain, but when it came to the lies told about what they lived through, their restraint broke. The truth had to be spoken.

Years later in seminary, during my studies in moral theology, I encountered a book that helped me understand exactly why these things weighed so heavily. M. Scott Peck’s People of the Lie explained the deeper spiritual psychology behind deception. Peck described how evil often hides behind respectability, how institutions maintain their power by projecting moral authority, and how lies wrapped in the language of virtue are the most destructive of all. That book made sense of what those veterans felt. It helped me recognize how the media had established itself not just as a reporter of events, but as a moral judge—willing to reshape truth for the sake of influence.

Fast-forward to today, and what we once called “bias” has grown into something far more brazen. We live in an age where the cherished freedom of speech has been twisted into a freedom to deceive. Public voices now hide behind constitutional protections as they manipulate, distort, and emotionally condition millions of people. The First Amendment was never intended to shield deliberate falsehood used as a political weapon, yet here we are.

Entertainment media has become one of the most effective tools of deception. Programs like “The View” routinely misrepresent events, manufacture outrage, and use emotional pressure to enforce conformity. Even more blatant was Jimmy Kimmel’s recent lie about the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk. Kimmel falsely claimed—confidently—that the attacker was a MAGA supporter. A total fabrication, directly contradicted by actual evidence. But he said it because the narrative was useful. When truth becomes inconvenient, many simply abandon it.

And the most revealing part of all this is the synchronized messaging we have witnessed in recent months. Politicians, news anchors, fact-checkers, late-night comedians, and activist influencers all echo the same talking points, often within hours. The same phrases, the same framing, the same emotional cues. This is not journalism. It is orchestration. And the public—finally—is beginning to see it.

Which brings me to one of the most fitting images of our time: Toto pulling back the curtain in The Wizard of Oz, revealing the frantic little man pulling levers and shouting, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!” That is what we are seeing today. The curtain has been pulled back, and the machinery is exposed. The booming voice of moral authority has been revealed for what it is: theatrics, manipulation, illusion.

The early Church understood this dynamic long before modern media existed. Scripture warns of times when many would believe the lie because they rejected truth. The Fathers wrote about smooth words used to deceive the simple, and St. Anthony foresaw a day when those who speak truth would be treated as insane. We are living in that kind of world. But God has not abandoned us to it.

The exposure of deception is not a defeat. It is a victory. Lies require darkness; truth requires only light. And right now, the light is breaking through. People across the nation—of all backgrounds—are waking up. They see the inconsistencies. They see the manipulation. They see the coordination. And once they see it, they cannot go back.

My encouragement to you is simple. Stand firm in truth. Be discerning. Question boldly. Don’t let loud voices bully you into silence. Stay rooted in Christ, who is the Truth, and who cannot be overshadowed by the noise of this age. The curtain is open. The machinery is visible. The illusion is ending. Truth is not losing; truth is shining. And those who love truth will always recognize its voice, even when the world screams at them to look away.

THE SCHUMER SHUTDOWN: When Ideology Overrides Duty — and Americans Pay the Price

By Bishop Zachaeous

Washington has seen shutdowns before, but this one is different. Not because it lasted longer or hit harder, but because of why it happened. What should have been a routine Continuing Resolution (CR) to keep essential services running was derailed in the Senate when Majority Leader Chuck Schumer tied government funding to a list of ideological reversals unrelated to domestic operations.

In short: the shutdown didn’t begin in the House or the White House.
It began in the Senate.
Many Americans are calling it exactly what it is — the Schumer Shutdown.

The Senate’s Ideological Demands

Instead of passing a clean CR, Senate leadership insisted on restoring foreign-aid programs cut under the Trump-era Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) delivered some of the most heated statements on the Senate floor, not about Americans losing services, but about foreign programs:

“We are causing death now. We are spreading disease now. We are deepening starvation now.”

“In the excess of DOGE’s deep cuts, they fired and laid off most of our experts capable of delivering world-class disaster relief.”

These weren’t arguments about feeding American families or paying federal workers.
They were arguments about restoring global projects.

Democrats also pushed for returning USAID funds for DEI-themed and LGBTQ-focused programs overseas — including items highlighted by the Cato Institute such as a DEI-themed musical in Ireland and millions spent on tourism projects and electric vehicles abroad.

Yet none of these were necessary to keep the U.S. government open.

Rural Hospitals Caught in the Crossfire

Another sticking point was rural healthcare funding tied to H.R. 1 (“the Big, Beautiful Bill”). Republicans warned that Democrats were trying to unravel crucial rural-hospital protections at the worst possible time.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) warned:

“They’ve got a bill… that forbids the $50 billion rural hospital fund we put in place… And they think that would pass.”

Schumer countered:

“Rural hospitals are already closing because of this ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.’”

Either way, rural communities were held hostage in a political fight that never should have been attached to a shutdown vote.

The Most Immediate Danger: America’s Skies

This shutdown has created a silent crisis that many Americans don’t fully appreciate:
our air traffic controllers are working unpaid, understaffed, and exhausted.

The National Airspace System was already strained. Now:
• mandatory overtime has increased,
• hiring and training pipelines have frozen,
• fatigue is rising,
• supervisors are stretched thin,
• and safety reporting is delayed.

During the 2019 shutdown, NATCA warned the system had reached “an unacceptable level of risk.”
We are once again living at that threshold — if not beyond it.

Every flight in America today depends on highly stressed, unpaid professionals.
It is not an exaggeration to say this shutdown has made our skies less safe.

Federal Workers and Security Personnel Have Been Left Behind

Across the nation:
• TSA agents
• Border Patrol
• Coast Guard
• Federal law enforcement
• Intelligence analysts
• Emergency-response staff

…are working without pay.

These are the people who keep America functioning and safe. And they’re doing it while politicians fight over foreign-aid restorations and ideological add-ons.

To His Credit — President Trump Kept the Military Paid

In the midst of the chaos, there is one stabilizing point:
✅ President Trump ensured military pay continues uninterrupted.

Millions of military families were spared tremendous hardship because of this decision.
It deserves recognition.

Meanwhile, the Media Misses the Point

Instead of investigating why the shutdown happened or what it is doing to American families, many mainstream outlets are criticizing the President for building a new White House ballroom — funded with private donations and his own money.

While media outlets talk about chandeliers, American families face:
• delayed benefits
• unpaid work
• risky air travel
• shuttered services
• rural-hospital uncertainty

It is a tragic misdirection.

The Immigration Healthcare Argument: The Truth Is More Complicated

A major talking point on both sides involves healthcare for undocumented immigrants.

Here’s the real picture:

✅ What the law says
Undocumented immigrants cannot enroll in Medicaid, Medicare, or ACA subsidies.

✅ What happens in reality
They do receive publicly funded healthcare through:
• Emergency Medicaid
• EMTALA-required hospital treatment
• Federally supported community clinics
• Public-health programs (vaccines, maternal care, etc.)
• State taxpayer-funded programs (CA, NY, IL, WA, and others)

California’s expansion alone is projected to exceed $8 billion.

How each side uses this
• Republicans: Democrats are prioritizing benefits for illegal immigrants over American citizens.
• Democrats: Federal law prohibits full coverage for undocumented immigrants, so GOP claims are misleading.

Both positions contain truth.
Both omit truth.
Both narratives feed the shutdown fight.

Who’s Really Paying the Price?

Not senators.
Not lobbyists.
Not commentators.

The people suffering are:
• federal workers now turning to food banks
• rural families facing hospital cuts
• seniors waiting for medical approvals
• disabled veterans
• families who rely on SNAP
• exhausted air traffic controllers
• TSA agents keeping the system moving
• parents worried about affording groceries

These are the people Congress forgot.

A Prayer for Our Nation

O Lord Jesus Christ, Lover of Mankind,
look with mercy upon this nation in its time of confusion.
Grant wisdom, humility, and clarity to our President,
to the Senate and House,
and to all entrusted with authority.
Turn their hearts toward justice, compassion, and truth.

Strengthen all federal workers laboring without pay.
Guard our air traffic controllers, our first responders,
our military families, and all who serve the common good.
Be near to the poor, the elderly, the sick,
and every family burdened by this shutdown.

Bring peace where there is conflict,
reason where there is stubbornness,
and unity where there is division.
For You alone are the Giver of Peace
and the Hope of all nations.
Amen.

Special Commentary
“When Truth Becomes Clickbait: The Dangers of Believing Everything You Read”
by +Bishop Michael-Zachaeous

⸻

A Modern Epidemic of Deception

Not long ago, the internet was ablaze with headlines claiming that Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars had been sentenced to life in prison. Social media filled with “breaking news” graphics and fake videos. The truth, however, is simple: it never happened.

Rick Harrison was not arrested, charged, or convicted of anything. The story was a complete fabrication—a hoax designed to generate clicks and outrage. In reality, Rick continues to manage his business in Las Vegas while grieving the loss of his son, Adam, who died tragically of an overdose in 2024.

This false report serves as a reminder that not every “news flash” deserves our trust.

The Machinery of Misinformation:
False stories spread quickly because emotion sells. Anger and shock drive engagement, and engagement drives profit. Many online pages exist for no other reason than to create sensationalism.

In recent years, similar hoaxes have claimed that:
• Morgan Freeman had died (he hadn’t).
• Denzel Washington was arrested for his beliefs (false).
• Pope Francis had resigned to join another faith (nonsense).

Each story was engineered to provoke clicks, not convey truth.

A Biblical Reminder:
“Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”
— 1 John 4:1

The “false prophets” of our day often come in the form of influencers, bots, or opportunistic content farms. They trade in outrage, exploiting the human appetite for drama.

Christians must resist this temptation. Like the Bereans of old, we are called to examine all things carefully and hold fast to what is true (Acts 17:11; 1 Thess 5:21).

Truth, Integrity, and Christian Witness:
Our credibility as followers of Christ depends on our relationship with truth. Sharing falsehood—even unintentionally—can wound our witness and confuse those seeking light in a world of noise.

Before you click “share,” ask:
1. Is this verified by reputable sources?
2. Does this honor truth, or exploit emotion?
3. Would sharing it glorify Christ?

“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure… think on these things.”
— Philippians 4:8

The Call to Discernment in a Noisy World:
In an age when deception spreads at the speed of light, truth needs defenders. Let your online presence reflect your faith—measured, discerning, and rooted in love.
• Verify before reposting.
• Read before reacting.
• Pray before posting.

Our role as Christians in the digital world is not to echo the mob but to embody the mind of Christ—even in comment sections.

Closing Reflection:
Rick Harrison’s false “prison” story is only one example in a flood of misinformation. The lesson is timeless: not everything viral is virtuous, and not everything trending is true.

Let us commit ourselves to being guardians of truth—men and women who prize honesty over hype, and discernment over distraction.

Synodality and Conciliarity: Diverging Paths

The Church of Rome’s Departure from the Norms of the Ancient Faith

By + Bishop Michael-Zachaeous
Senior Contributing Writer, Koinonia News

⸻
“The synodal journey calls all of us to listen more deeply to the Holy Spirit and to one another, so that our structures and ministries may be more agile, more transparent, and more responsive to the Gospel.”
— Pope Leo XIV, vatican.va
⸻

A Church in Motion—or in Drift?
In his recent address to more than two thousand participants at the Vatican’s “Jubilee of Synodal Teams,” Pope Leo XIV once again placed synodality at the heart of his pontificate. Speaking of “listening,” “agility,” and “structural transparency,” he portrayed synodality not as a process for occasional consultation but as a permanent way of being Church.

Yet, viewed through the lens of Orthodox ecclesiology and the teaching of St. Vincent of Lérins, this very language exposes the widening rift between Rome’s evolving self-understanding and the enduring norms of the Ancient Faith Church. What once described conciliar unity in the Holy Spirit has become, in modern Rome, a program for adaptive reform and doctrinal plasticity.

Conciliarity: The Ancient Pattern of Unity
In the early centuries, the Church’s synods—what we rightly call councils—were not mechanisms of innovation but instruments of fidelity. The First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea (A.D. 325) did not convene to discover truth, but to defend it against distortion. Bishops gathered in obedience to the Holy Spirit, proclaiming together that Christ is “of one essence with the Father.”

This is the true meaning of conciliarity: bishops united in the same faith, discerning together within the guardrails of Apostolic Tradition. As St. Vincent of Lérins taught in his Commonitorium, the measure of orthodoxy is that which has been “believed everywhere, always, and by all.” Conciliarity is thus the living witness of an unchanging faith—it does not create doctrine; it confirms it.

Synodality Redefined:
By contrast, the synodality now championed by Popes Francis and Leo XIV represents a decisive shift. Vatican reports describe synodality as “a journey of listening and dialogue,” seeking to make the Church “more responsive to the Gospel through the voices of all.” While that language may sound pastoral and participatory, it subtly re-centers the source of authority—from revelation preserved in Tradition to discernment achieved through consensus.

Where conciliarity sought fidelity to the faith once delivered, synodality seeks relevance in the modern world. Rome’s recent emphasis on inclusivity, cultural adaptation, and lay participation signals not merely pastoral openness but a theological reorientation: from divine revelation as immutable truth toward communal exploration as the source of meaning.

As Catholic News Agency recently reported, Pope Leo stated that “there is no single template for synodality across all places.” Such fluidity may suit democratic culture, but it departs radically from the conciliar conviction that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb 13:8).

The Slide from Stability to Restlessness:
St. Vincent anticipated this very error. In the fifth century he warned that the danger of heresy lies not in open rebellion but in “a perverse novelty under the name of development.” Authentic growth, he insisted, occurs in the same sense and the same meaning—never by alteration of substance.

Today’s synodal model, however, enshrines change as a virtue. It invites what St. Vincent would call “restlessness,” mistaking the heart’s yearning for divine love as license to redefine divine truth. Yet Orthodoxy teaches that our restless hearts find rest in the Truth, not by reshaping it.

This modern “journeying together” thus becomes an ecclesial pilgrimage without a fixed destination—a Church always moving, but no longer anchored.

The Orthodox Witness:
The Orthodox Church continues to live by the conciliar model of the ancient undivided Church. Councils remain the authoritative expression of the Church’s mind (phronema) precisely because they are bound to Scripture, the Fathers, and the unbroken Apostolic Tradition.

When Orthodox bishops gather, they do not vote on truth—they bear witness to it. The Holy Spirit does not whisper new doctrines to the age; He illumines the faithful to recognize the eternal Word within their own time. That is why the Orthodox Church remains unyielding: not obstinate, but faithful.

This faithfulness stands in stark contrast to the Church of Rome’s continued experimentation with synodal structures. Each new “listening session” and “synodal discernment” reveals an ecclesiology less governed by revelation and more influenced by sociology. The emphasis on agility, transparency, and responsiveness may suit modern bureaucracy, but it does not describe the nature of the Body of Christ.

The Consequences of Synodal Drift:
As Rome redefines synodality, it risks losing its tether to the Apostolic deposit of faith. What begins as consultation may end in doctrinal fluidity—where moral and theological boundaries blur under the banner of inclusivity. The so-called “restless heart in love with Love” becomes an emotional substitute for obedience to divine truth.

The danger is not that synodality encourages listening, but that it replaces revelation with dialogue. In seeking to hear every voice, Rome risks silencing the only Voice that matters—the unchanging Word of God.

Each step in this direction carries the Church of Rome further from the ancient norms it once shared with Orthodoxy, toward a model of Christianity defined by consensus rather than by confession.

A Call to Fidelity:
For the Church to be truly “responsive to the Gospel,” it must first be faithful to it. Renewal will never come through structural agility or democratic discernment, but through repentance and fidelity to Christ. The way forward is not found in reinventing the Church but in returning to the Faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

St. Vincent’s voice still resounds:
“Let the soul’s religion imitate the body’s growth, which develops and unfolds its parts, yet remains the same being.”

The Church’s mission is not to become something new—it is to become ever more fully Herself, the spotless Bride of Christ, purified through obedience, steadfast in truth, and aflame with divine love.

Closing Reflection:
Rome’s experiment with synodality may well shape her internal structures for generations to come, but it cannot reshape the eternal truth of the Gospel. The Orthodox Church, standing upon the conciliar foundation of the Fathers, continues to proclaim that truth not as a discovery of restless hearts, but as a sacred trust received, preserved, and lived.

“The Truth is not sought because it is unknown, but contemplated because it is known and loved.”
