"Witnesses say that when the prince arrived in Athos days after the death of Princess Diana almost seven years ago, it was Ephraim who induced him to join the faith. Closeted in a chamber alone with the abbot, Charles is believed to have made a "spiritual commitment" to Christian Orthodoxy"
I… what…?
uh, thoughts?

Good on him. Anglicans and Orthos were close to patching things up before:
en.m.wikipedia.org
maybe Anglicans will have some hope of getting less pozzed now.
Let us pray that England may begome.
It'd be great if he renewed the Church of England under Orthodoxy. I could only hope. His family has ties to it though. His father (Prince Phillip) was also baptized in the Orthodox church due to living in Macedonia/Greece, and Phillip's mother Princess Alice became a nun (and helped start an order) when she was widowed.
People have said similar things based on his connection to Islam and eastern religions. You wont find anything from him beyond the usual ecumenical nonsense
No
Orthodoxy and Anglicanism have a history and before 70s there was a chance to establish eucharistic union. In addition, Charles is head of organizations of "friends of mount Athos" or something like that.
He is a patron which essentially amounts to giving it publicity.His is also the patron of the Jewish Museum and World Jewish Relief organisations. Likewise if you look through his list of patronages he has a whole slew of them for preservation of historical christian buildings and sites.
Not to say that is not true but Im highly skeptical of that claim given the liberalising the Anglicans were going through around that time period and that they didnt even have consensus regarding the real presence.
Aren't the English elites pedophiles? I find it almost impossible that any of them believe in God.
One shouldn't believe things because he likes them to be true. Compared to the world population we Orthodox are few, but we're enough.
Prince Charles is an islamizer. He made an institute for islamic studies among other things.
Anyone interested in the information above should read the book by Mark Sedgewick.
This would fit in with the pedophilia quite nicely. This or a Catholic studies institute.
They're also involved with freemasonry.
Yeah but this time he apparently literally converted, has houses full of icons, frequents Mt. Athos, meets with Patriarchs…
Generally, but the Royal Family aren't really elites since the 50s. They meet whoever they're told to if told to, due to the Queen forcing them due to muh constitutionalism, and so forth.
...
I don't have enough solid evidence that "elites are pedophiles" except the circles they sometimes ran in. They should be wiser on who they're friends with, but associations don't make one guilty. One can go crazy thinking that elites are pedos just because of that. I'm definitely open minded to any evidence, but I don't want to be like David Icke or some Qanon people who make huge leaps about anyone and everyone famous, without any evidence.
Same goes with Freemason stuff. I've been hearing that from Catholics for a long time in order to smear the King James bible. When you can use a Strong's numbering system and compare KJV's renderings for yourself if it actually constitutes anything nefarious. It's just a translation!!! Ugh. And a good one at that.
As for Charles, he actually has a history in his family with Orthodoxy. As I pointed out earlier, his dad was baptized Orthodox and part of the Greek royal family. His grandmother also part of the Greek royal family, and then became a nun in widowhood.
I saw his helicopter when i was in Athos. He's friends with the abbot of Vatopedi monastery.
look into the Jimmy Savile case and the Franklin cover-up story.
I know about that, but there's no evidence of Charles himself doing what Savile did. Besides, he doesn't look like the brightest bulb on the planet, and maybe was just duped like many in the UK about Savile's harmlessness.
It's one thing to say he was friends with a scumbag and should be questioned about it… But another to think there's an elite vampiric pedo cabal (that also eats the pineal glands of frightened children and lives off of adrenochrome). If that's all true, people need to build a more airtight case and not just fuel themselves off of suspicions.
Almost every court case is a conspiracy, since conspiracy just means an agreement between two or more parties to do something which is against the law, or the common perception of morality, righteousness and order in the wider sense. There exist certain conspiracies that are not yet proven, or maybe never will be, but the whole point of conspiracy theories is to gauge which conspiracies are likely, and then to draw general conclusions. Consider also that the criminal elites are not idiots, they can buy off almost anyone, and they have the best possible lawyers, which means they don't get caught easily.
F.e. if loads of British politicians are suspected of child abuse, then it is almost certain that at least some are guilty of it, even though you can't prove which ones. Jimmy Saville is a proven child abuser and he had many politician friends, and it's very suspicious that this came to light only post mortem, considering British intelligence services are supposed to be the best in the world, no? Why can a British MP compose a pedophile dossier which mysteriously gets lost, but the police can't find out who these people are? en.wikipedia.org
I'm not British, so I don't care for this more than superficially, but I think it's yet another case for a conspiracy theory which is almost certainly true, like Jew conspiracies, sodomite conspiracies, etc.
Now you can refuse to believe anything unless you have 100% proof, but rest assured your understanding of the world will be very basic (bluepilled and without context), so I prefer to be wrong sometimes rather than limited in my outlook. Also, many of those things have strong circumstantial evidence (like the Jews financing/advocating communism, atheism, lgbt, feminism, racemixing). It is just intellectually dishonest to lump these legitimate conspiracy theories together with flat earth, reptilians, UFOs, etc.
For you OP
Prince Charles has Perennialist sympathies so he is more or less benevolent to every traditional religion.
Mmmh…Guenon 2: Royal Anglo Bogaloo
Be my guest then.
I don't need 100% proof. Just a better case than this. I don't even think he has accusers (does he?). Even "he said, she said" cases are on shaky ground, but this doesn't even reach that paltry level.
Oh, for the record, I'm not trying to be a hardass skeptic about this. I'm someone who thinks there's something to the pedogate stuff, for example. There's obviously some strange code in Pedosta's emails. And his associations (like James Alefantis) also have photographs of some disturbing things. There's something strange with Washington elites. If there's some equivalent evidence on Charles, I'd be willing to look at it. I just haven't seen anything.
The only thing Prince Charles is guilty of is being a goober and a lukewarm in the religion his family is owner of.
He is also, IIRC a traditionalist in the vein of Guenon, having started a traditionalist community and being the patron of a traditionalist journal.
I honestly cannot wait for Charles to become the British monarch.
He will hopefully return Anglicanism to Orthodoxy, and Britain to something of it's former self.
ALL HAIL BRITTANIA
A-user, I…
So he's going to convert to Islam lel.
No wonder NRX and Trads are retarded.
He wasn't a Gnostic, rather he repudiated them. It's true he had ties to Freemasonry early in life but later wrote a book against them. His conversion to Sufism is my only contention with the man, regardless he was extremely learned in world religions.
kek
What are the thesis and consideration/conclusions on it in the book? Or are you judging it by its title alone?
Basically shows the ties that Guénon had with Catholics that first were interested in his critique of theosophy, but also that they strongly rejected his metaphysics and even himself became a bit of a persona non grata due to his antirational orientalism.
Also shows his ties with esoteric sects, which are far from being anecdotical but rather intrinsically tied with his philosophical views (Maritain said in 1921, when he was still quite orthodox and not hostile to him, that "Guénon's metaphysics are radically inconciliable with the Catholic Faith".).
If you are interested in world religions and Primordial Revelation from an orthodox Catholic point of view, I'd like to suggest you Wilhelm Schmidt SVD.
If you read French or German, there also is Paul Schebesta SVD (Le sens religieux des primitifs / Ursprung der Religion).
Isn't this the guy who said he should have the title 'defender of the faiths' plural, because 'defender of the faith' was offensive?
Who cares? The royal family matters so little in the grand scheme of things now that they’re basically LARPing as more important versions of themselves (although I might have a bias being an American)
I keep holding onto a somewhat foolish hope we'll live to see traditionalist Anglicans become the "British Orthodox" instead, and let the pozzed faction just go merrily to hell without them.
He wants to change Defender of the Faith to Defender of the Faiths. Like all religions in including Islam.
