On the Sunday of the Blind Man, Abp. Irineos looks to the next verse that follows the Gospel reading, where Christ, having revealed His divinity to the man born blind, declares "For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." Explicating Christ's meaning, Abp. Irineos then contrasts the life of an Orthodox Christian - one who is born blind but comes into the light - with those "spiritual but not religious" modernist who, like the Pharisees of old, are so beholden to their own wisdom, they fall into the darkness of their own spiritual delusion.
