ro lie to Nazis. God knows it was done often enough in WWII! Do you not understand that we are now at war?

Here is a story for you. There is an Orthodox saint (his name escapes me at the moment) whose door was knocked on by the Gestapo. He was told to "bring out the Jews he was hiding". He came back with icons of Jesus and the Mother of God. The Nazis were baffled but left...at least for that moment.

And this (lying to the Gestapo) is exactly what we will go on doing.
