The anti-confessional theologians, those referred to as orthodox in the study, misuse Christian teaching solely to speak of love for the "other," idolizing, however, the "love" within the closed human — certainly exchangeable boundaries of pseudo-love.
Thus, through their vacuous love orthodoxy, they oppose the ontology of Orthodox spirituality, which is built upon the faith of Christ's identity with the God Word and the acceptance of the Ever-Virginity of the Theotokos.
The Ever-Virginity of the Theotokos is now clearly underestimated in the post-patristic system of hedonistic glory. In this extratheological system, the specific "neighbor" becomes indifferent, and the abstract "other" becomes "beloved," which contradicts the evangelical truth of the theurgically active and selfless — not the exchangeable and utilitarian — love.
Consequently, the contemporary view of hedonistic glory has deliberately confused sexual ideologies and communistic complexes with theology, sidelining the scientific perspective of theological discourse that seeks salvific evidence. As a result, this anti-theological view, which devalues the Ever-Virginity of the Theotokos, leads to the devaluation of theology itself as a scientific discipline and as a trustworthy reference point for humanity to the love-giving God.
It appears to be unaware, nor does it show interest in learning, as it is an ideology that seeks to deconstruct theology, the deeper salvific spirit of Orthodox theology and its ascetical spirituality. The introduction of such doctrines into the applied New Religious Lesson teaches the corruption of the aforementioned living spirituality.
