In this video recording, Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae (✝1993), one of the greatest Romanian Orthodox theologians, talks about the twisted intelligence, pride, and cunning of the antichrist who deceives many while still bearing traces of God’s image. He also talks about the subtle and deceptive nature of evil, and the stark contrast between false progress and true goodness according to Orthodox teachings.

Fr. Dumitru was imprisoned for 5 years due to his faith during the oppressive Communist Regime in Romania. The Romanian Orthodox Church has approved the canonization of 16 new saints during the synodal sessions held on July 11-12th 2024. Holy Confessor Priest Dumitru Stăniloae is one of them. They will be officially recognized as saints in 2025.
