 This decline in spiritual life is, unfortunately, a phenomenon common to the entire Christian world and to all mankind as a whole. It no less characterizes the state of the other Local Orthodox Churches and the incomparably greater state of the Western heterodox confessions, where the "new commandment" has openly become the basis of Christian (!) life: "Seek first of all what to eat, what to drink, and what to wear, and the Kingdom of God shall be added to you" (cf. Matt. 6:31-33).
