Why does all of the above matter? Sarkisian is not even canonically Orthodox, and he’s just some academic writing papers no one reads. It matters because he is not alone. He is just one of a collection of “Orthodox” hierarchs and academics who are committed to changing the Orthodox Faith. They present settled questions such as sexual morality as “open to further interpretation and dialogue.” At the same time, they present leftist dogma (Climate Change, diversity, equity, COVIDism) as if it were the dogma of the Church. They are seeking a world in which the only sins are those which transgress the commandments of leftism. Homosexuality, polyamory, kink, divorce, abortion, transhumanism, pedophilia, mandatory jabs – these things will be practically sacraments of their new Church. Whereas failing to take the jab, opposing open borders, or advocating traditional Orthodox sexual ethics will all be a rejection of the new Gospel. https://orthodoxreflections.com/academics-incorporating-leftist-dogma-into-orthodox-christianity/
