The Anti-Church Fathers and the Hellenization of Christianity by Richard Joseph Michael Ibranyi, Christmas 2014 Beware of Greeks bearing gifts! As Gentiles entered the Catholic Church, many of them were false or insincere converts. St. John said, “And every spirit that dissolveth Jesus is not of God: and this is Antichrist, of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.” (1 Jn. 4:3) Many of these false or insincere converts dissolved Jesus by mixing the Catholic God and Christianity with the gods and philosophies of the pagan Greeks. At first they were put down quickly. But their influence grew in the 3rd and 4th centuries. And when they were put down, they festered underground until they re-appeared in the 11th century when the Great Apostasy began. The most influential Hellenizers were so-called Church Fathers, such as Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Basil, and Jerome, who were actually apostates and Anti-Church Fathers. Indeed, these Anti-Church Fathers said some strange things! These strange things are heresies and idolatries that they picked up from the pagan Greeks whom they idolized.
