Racism, in its various manifestations (e.g., philetism, ethnophiletism, racial segregation, racial discrimination, racial extermination) – as a mere sentiment or conviction as well as a systematic and organized ideology or politics in its origin – is a spiritual tendency of fallen human nature. The purpose of this systematic-dogmatic reflection is to prove from the perspective of Orthodox theology that this harmful propensity of the human race is a direct consequence of original sin and particular passions created in the soul. Racism has extended to the present day on a wider social level, and its only cure is mainly ascetic-spiritual in nature. This spiritual therapy should be performed through and by all the means the church has at its disposal to erase the stigmata of humankind’s primitive negation and ultimate distance from God.

种族主义是灵魂的激情

种族主义以其各种表现形式（例如，哲学，民族主义，种族隔离，种族歧视，种族灭绝）–仅仅是一种情感或信念，以及起源于系统和有组织的意识形态或政治–是堕落人类的精神倾向。自然。这种系统的教条式反思的目的是从东正教神学的角度证明，人类的这种有害倾向是原罪和灵魂中特定激情的直接后果。种族主义已经在更广泛的社会层面上延伸到了今天，其唯一的治疗方法主要是苦行僧精神。这种精神疗法应通过教会竭尽所能来消除人类对原始的否定和与上帝的最终距离的污名化。
