Ἀπολυτίκιον – Ἦχος πλ. δ'
Εὐλογητὸς εἶ, Χριστὲ
ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν,

ἀλήθεια· διὰ τοῦτο
ἐκτήσω τῇ ταπεινώσει
τὰ ὑψηλά, τῇ
πτωχείᾳ τὰ πλούσια,
Πάτερ Ἱεράρχα Νικόλαε·
πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ
Θεῷ, σωθῆναι τὰς
ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

Μαθηταί
σου τὴν δόξαν
σου, Χριστὲ ὁ
Θεὸς ἐθεάσαντο, ἵνα ὅταν σε ἴδωσι σταυρούμενον,

ἑκούσιον,
τῷ
δὲ
κόσμῳ
κηρύξωσιν, ὅτι σὺ ὑπάρχεις ἀληθῶς,
τοῦ
Πατρὸς τὸ ἀπαύγασμα.
Τρισάγιον.

Εἴδομεν τό φῶς...
Εἴη τό ὄνομα Κυρίου…
Ἀπόλυσις·
Ὁ ἀναστάς ἐκ νεκρῶν....

When the angelic

saved.

Responses
from marriage proponents to the Supreme Court’s June 26, 2013 decisions in
two cases involving the (re)definition
of marriage seemed to come in three waves.
The
immediate reaction was that the friends of marriage had suffered a severe,
and perhaps lethal, blow. The next, more considered reaction went something
like this: “Hold on here. This is not another Roe v. Wade. The fight for
marriage rightly understood, and for an understanding of what government
simply cannot do, will go on in the states.” The third reaction tempered the
second: “Not so fast. The terms in which DOMA was struck down—defense of
marriage rightly understood involves an irrational bias—make it much more
difficult to fight this battle in state legislatures.” All three reactions
make sense. The initial reaction—these decisions were bad defeats for
marriage rightly understood—was correct, both in terms of the defense of
marriage and a proper understanding of
|
constitutional
order. But it’s also true that the proponents of marriage and limited
government rightly understood—indeed, the defenders of reality-based law and
public policy—have not been denied the opportunity to continue the fight at
the state level. And yet, on the other, other hand, those of us who propose
to do precisely that have been labeled bigots and enemies of civility by a
majority of the United States Supreme Court. The Court has implicitly
accepted the absurd and offensive mantra which identified the defenders of
marriage rightly understood with those who manned the fire hoses, wielded the
billy clubs, and unleashed the attack dogs against peaceful civil rights
demonstrators in the sixties. If some
way isn’t found to counter that false analogy between racial bigotry and
marriage rightly understood, we are not going to win many state-level battles
in this period when we’re permitted to conduct them. GEORGE WEIGEL (2013)
