Quotes on Orthodoxy / St. Isidore of Pelusium

“Crafty allies of the heresies hide their evil teachings and corrupt understanding with piety.”

Just as the fishermen hide the hook with bait and covertly hook the fish, similarly, the crafty allies of the heresies hide their evil teachings and corrupt understanding with piety to hook the more simple, bringing them to spiritual death.

St. Isidore of Pelusium
