Summary
Nikolaos Sotiropoulos, speaking in Toronto to the Orthodox faithful of the diaspora, grounds his theme in the apostolic phrase 'faithful is the word' from Titus 3:8, explaining that true faith means truth rather than mere religious language or outward loyalty. He warns that journalists, politicians, philosophers, and even scientists often speak partial or distorted words, and insists that clergy and hierarchs must equally be judged by the truth of the Gospel. He denounces modern ecclesiastical compromises, the attacks on Orthodox missionary brotherhoods, and ecumenism, presenting the Triune God as the only absolute truth, with Christ as the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) and the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth. He calls the faithful to trust the Word of God above every human authority and to remain steadfast amid slander and persecution.
