(p. 67) Thomas Merton’s view of the divine came from the East -- Zen and Russian Orthodoxy’s Sophia.

#Soloviev #Bulgakov #Evdokimov Image
(p. 69) Merton communicates with Zen master D. T. Suzuki who in return, “often cites Meister Eckhart with approval”. Image
(pp. 71-4) Merton goes down the rabbit hole of Russian Orthodoxy’s Kabbalistic Sophia never to return. ImageImageImageImage
(p. 74) Merton notes that he has been reading Paul Evdokimov, a student of Bulgakov’s and member of the first graduating class of St. Serge: “Here is a real theologian,” he comments, “one of the few.” Evdokimov describes sophiology as “the glory of present-day Orthodox theology” Image
(pp. 74-5) Merton has dreams/visions in which Sophia comes to visit him in the garb of a young Jewish girl named, “Proverb”. ImageImage
(p. 76) Merton writes Hagia Sophia after meditating on an icon of Holy Wisdom (aka Sophia) painted by Victor Hammer. Image
(pp. 79-80) “several years of meditation on the Russian theologians had brought Merton here to the rather striking insight that faith in Sophia is “the great stabilizer today for peace”—an intuition that would find its most sublime expression in Hagia Sophia.” ImageImage
(p. 83) Merton jokes that he is, “On the road to heresy... Certainly, it is a dangerous problem, and I am in danger. Thank God for it.” Image
(p. 84) The insanity of the theology of Merton Image
(p. 89) Bulgakov felt he was in heaven when he visited the Hagia Sophia (a mosque) in Constantinople and saw Moslems praying to allah, it was the power of Sophia. Image

From the ‘You Can't Make This Stuff Up Files’.

A Feeneyite who recently held a conclave to elect a new pope had a weekly online podcast/talk show with Chabadnik Rabbi Vladimir Zelenko hosted by Lowell Gallin a promoter of the noahide laws.
They discuss on this show how to resist the “Great Reset”, “Mark of the Beast”, and the “Globalist Terrorism Campaign”. Just what every Catholic needs, a bunch of rabbis, talmudists, kabbalists, and noahide law promoters explaining Catholicism to listeners.
The Feeneyites of St. Benedict Center (Charles Coulombe's buddies) promoting Bugnolo and his knightly order “Ordo Militaris Catholicus”. Got to go to Iraq and fight ISIS. Now it's Ukraine and fight the Moslems.

Kabbalah in Italy 1280-1510: A Survey - Moshe Idel
files.eshkolot.ru/Moshe-Idel-Kab…
(p. 288) “In the 1470s or 1480s Elijah del Medigo, originally from Candia, arrived in northern Italy and...was in close contact with Giovanni Pico della Mirandola”
“we should take into account a Jew who never came to Italy but whose influence there was perhaps greater than that of all the previously mentioned persons, the mysterious Elisha of Constantinople...it is possible that one of Plethon’s teachers in Byzantium was a Jew named Elisha”

Another excellent adventure in ROCOR clergy. Ryan Lozano was ordained a priest by a LARP-ing vagus 'bishop' Leo Michael as some sort of orthodox-anglican.
bit.ly/31bhFc9
Ryan left that group and hitched a ride with another LARP-er, Old Catholic vagus 'bishop', Rutherford Johnson who styles himself a ‘cardinal archbishop’ of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church. Ryan was ‘incardinated’ under this clown and later ‘consecrated’ a ‘bishop’ by him.
On 1 June 2012, Ryan Lozano becomes the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Southwest of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church. hierarchy.religare.ru/h-angl-arrcc.h…
