"The 'triumphant heresy' of our day no longer says that there are two separate natures in Christ: the divine and the human—it says the same thing, but in different and even more terrible words: religion...is just an ideal that cannot be realized in life.. Religion and life are incompatible... The 'triumphant heresy' is no longer trying to fight dogma. What need is there, when dogmas have already become lifeless words, and when life itself has already been defeated.... Our task - the task of all life - is to fight this terrible triumphant heresy. We realize that this struggle, first of all, must be individual, personal, in everyone's soul. Religion and life, God and man must merge first of all in the soul of each of us. In this individual task, everyone has their own individual path. One needs to go into the wilderness and there in solitude, in self-denial, in contemplation - to resurrect in his soul with the sword of the terrible heresy of the cut Christ; another has to go into the world, into the very thick of a poisoned life. To one a monastery, to another a marketplace. We know, we feel all the complexity, all the bottomless depth of that abyss that every person must overcome, the whole weight of each person's guilt both before himself and before others - but nevertheless, to the best of our ability, we will serve the cause of Christ." -St. Valentin Sventsitsky
