And today?
According to Metropolitan Hilaron of Volokolamsk, "Almost 1700 years have elapsed since the Council of Nicaea, but the
criteria that were used by the Church to distinguish truth from heresy
have not changed. And the notion of church truth remains as relevant
today as it did seventeen centuries ago. Today the notion of heresy,
while present in church vocabulary, is manifestly absent from the
vocabulary of contemporary politically-correct theology – a theology
that prefers to refer to “pluralism” and to speak of admissible and
legitimate differences."
