What is the Royal Path?

About this sermon

Excerpted from Q&A Session on March 21st, 2023 by Fr. Peter Heers "As the Fathers say, the extremes from both sides are equally harmful... {We must} go on the royal path, avoiding the extremes on both sides." -St. John Cassian, "Conference II" "The spirit of 'reform' is so much in the air today that anyone whose views are molded by the 'spirit of the times' will regard true Orthodox moderation as close to 'fanaticism,' but anyone who looks at the question more deeply and applies the patristic standard will find the royal path to be far from any kind of extremism." -Fr.
