The Supreme Court's recent birthright citizenship ruling has reignited a national debate over sovereignty, citizenship, and the limits of governmental power. But these questions are far older than today's headlines.
In 1929, Saintly Martyr Ionel Moța delivered a remarkable lecture examining the League of Nations, warning that international institutions cannot secure lasting peace or justice unless they rest upon a shared Christian moral foundation. His reflections on national sovereignty, political authority, and the dangers of supranational governance remain strikingly relevant nearly a century later.

Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, this historical Orthodox Christian perspective offers valuable insight into debates that continue to shape our world today.
