The Two Poles of Post-Schism Western Religion

By Walt Garlington for the Saker Blog One way we may be quite certain that the West has lost its contact with the uncreated Grace of the All-Holy Trinity is by considering the guideposts of those who believe themselves to be the champions of traditional Christianity there.
