>I got tired of all the anti-Western bias that I found in Orthodox writers. It's like Western is used as a pejorative term in Orthodoxy.
This originates in Russia and is spread to Greece in the 19th and early 20th centuries. I don't know if you've ever read Gregory Freeze's The Russian Levites: Parish Clergy in the Eighteenth Century, but he details the Latinization of Russian seminaries under Peter the Great and Empress Anna in the 20s and 30s. When the clergy finally revolted against these impositions, there began the creation of an anti-Western (=anti-novel reforms) sentiment in Russian theology. This found its way over to Greece eventually. You can see it especially in people like Fr. John Romanides.
