Say NO to extremism in religion

Before, i want to be extreme or fanatic when i want to be an orthodox Christian. However, a Greek priest told me, stop that fanaticism and siding with what God did not taught us.

He alluded to those Orthodox Christians that made such schismatical moves(Old calendarists, Old believers, and those with political ambitions like the Ukrainian Orthodox Church-Kiev Patriarchate, Macedonian church, Montenegrin Church and others) that are not within church canons and hiearchy. To be fair, extremism is like attending interfaith meetings, to which i am opposed to. I am not saying what Patriarch Bartholomew did with Pope Francis is right but when some crosswd the line, it would be wrong. Or supposed nationalist Bishop Artemije met with NATO leaders who bombed his country and made anti-church moves that lead to his defrocking.

Not to mention the fights between Sunnis and Shias everywhere, notably Syria, Lebanon and diaspora countries, blaming each other of extremism, this, that and divinding Islam more. Or in Liberal or Conservative Jews. Pope Pius society against the liberalization of the whole Catholic church because of the Tridentine mass.

What leads me to that, no matter how good or bad you are, be strong always and let not others contradict or put extremism on your faith.
