THE HOLY TRINITY TOOK LOT OUT OF SODOM... BUT HE... PUT SODOM INTO THE CHURCH...

We explicitly clarify that this article — like all our articles — has no connection whatsoever with any kind of fanaticism, partisanship, extremism, or animosity toward any person whatsoever, and even more so, it has absolutely no connection with any warfare against the Church, and it is completely foreign to any heresy or interest other than Orthodox Hellenism.

We are obliged to always clarify these terms, and this applies to all our articles.

Our only and utterly hated enemy is sin and the passions, and in no case whatsoever is it the human being; but we are obliged to remind in every case and circumstance, in imitation of Saint Cosmas of Aetolia, that we forgive no one at all who, for any reason and in any way, blasphemes, wars against, insults, and offends the most holy and unique faith of the pious and Orthodox Christians, our homeland Greece, the saints and the heroes who fought and fell for faith and fatherland, and the entire Orthodox Hellenism, while at the same time having the awareness that we are the last and least of all.

And furthermore, that we fervently and wholeheartedly desire and pray for the salvation of the entire world, which was also created very good — that is, excellent and beyond perfect — by His word alone, from non-being, as an expression of the infinite all-love, all-truth, and all-wisdom of the most holy God.

These articles have been written and are written with soul pain and with unwavering, certain, and firm faith and hope in the ultimately happy outcome of events, situations, and realities by the all-good beyond all conception, capacity, and understanding, most holy and most philanthropic Triune God, the Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ, whose glory and honor and worship be unto the ages. Amen.

THE HOLY TRINITY TOOK LOT OUT OF SODOM... BUT HE... PUT SODOM INTO THE CHURCH...

Blessed are those who mourn now...

Is it ever possible with baptism... to abolish baptism... and to rejoice over the possible loss of souls...!!! Is it ever possible for Satan to wear the divinely woven robe of priesthood... Judas wore it... he did not benefit...

Even the Holy Apostle Peter... when he thought worldly... was called Satan... by the Lord Himself...

However, he was not lost, and despite the triple denial... by grace of repentance and the boundless philanthropy of the all-good God... and we, as the last of all, choose and prefer and propose this... May it be so in all things...

People Slipping Unrepentant Down the Slope Impudently

And the mystery of lawlessness... or rather to say... of the boundless tolerance of the all-good beyond all conception, capacity, and understanding... and most holy God.

In short... how the impious Judas received the high priesthood

This explains how... this or that impious person... received a Patriarchate or Archdiocese or Bishopric... and so on...

In all the authoritative writings of the most holy tradition of the Orthodox Church... the entire Holy Scripture and all the Holy Fathers and ecclesiastical writers... on this issue... are most pure... which is sealed by the most holy Revelation of Saint John the Theologian... "Outside the dogs"...

A) Since you accept them as parents raising Christian children... you accept their unnatural relationship and cohabitation... B) You recognize their right to guardianship of the newly enlightened... consequently, you cooperate in their spiritual corruption (of the newly enlightened) and in the unrepentance of the Sodomites (since they are not reproved, but rather praised for this abominable transgression)... and you directly offend, while performing it, the most holy introductory mystery of faith... the most holy baptism... because baptism means salvation and sanctification, while in this case you connect it with sin and perdition... and because... C) The children in this environment will live and learn everything wrong... they will learn wrong as right and sin as something natural... but D) The greatest condemnation is for those who handed these children over to Baal, to perdition... and you come and after sanctifying them... return them to destruction... E) And most importantly... the Holy Fathers say that in Sodomism, no demon possesses... but Satan himself... How then... do you invite this destroyer, soul-corrupter, and soul-killer into this most holy and introductory mystery of faith... and how, after baptizing and sanctifying, do you hand over the newly enlightened to him... because he governs the souls of the unrepentant Sodomites... How... do you give the holy... to the dogs???!!!

May the holy good God visit you, brother Bishop, and enlighten and instruct both you and us so that we do not lose our soul and are not the cause and occasion for others to lose their own soul...

And let the holy Lord Jesus Christ rebuke, and take His Church from the hands of the impious... and give it to His saints...

And forgive me for the things of "harsh" love, because one is the way of excretion... and another that of birth... as well as birth is one thing and excretion another... Let us not forget those few things we know...

The time has finally come... to separate the chaff from the wheat...

The Antichrist era and new order of things imposed so that on the martyric Greek soil... the faith of the pious and Orthodox Christians be blasphemed... with a mild reaction once again... from the appointed... guardians... Kolymbari was only the beginning... and after the Symbol of Faith was blasphemed... that heresies were characterized as churches and confessions... now we "bless" sin and blasphemy and abolish the most holy and holiest sacred mysteries...

Deceived Bishopric and Archbishopric... and if it did not happen so... let the opposite be proven and let each assume their own responsibilities... otherwise...

We... with heart pain and soul sorrow... pray... that all involved come to their senses and repentance so that they do not lose their souls... and we with them...

Amen!!!

The mystery is invalid as not canonically performed... because the canonical order was violated, the teaching of the Orthodox faith was altered, the holy tradition was trampled, and souls were handed over to danger of perdition...

It was justified... why should these innocent little children lose the blessing of baptism!!!

Exactly the opposite of the Orthodox faith...

Of course... they should not lose it... but with father and mother as human physiology and the holy tradition of our Church command... and because... what will happen to this "blessing"... when these innocent little children will be cultivated and develop in a home of blasphemy, tolerance, and perdition... by heretical... desperate uncatechized and unrepentant...

When you say half the truth... you say falsehood... rather you distort the truth...

Unacceptable such a thing for a bishop because where there is a bishop there is Church... but where there is no bishop there is no Church... then another will take his episcopacy...

If the old Israel first crucified God... now... the new Israel... crucifies Him again... so now... we have double condemnation of Gehenna and the woes to you... Bethsaida, Chorazin, and Capernaum... which the holy Lord and our God uttered to those who did not accept Him... did not accept the divine truth of the holy Gospel...

If Sodomism has flooded the earth... this does not mean that the Church should adapt to it... and because the holy tradition is inviolable and because... people... at least those called and named Christians... we have a sacred obligation... we to adapt to the Church and not the Church to us... The Church condescends... for the salvation of the sinner... but never mingles with his evil opinion, his passions, or his evil work and example... otherwise it would be a praiser of impiety and sin... (Woe, away with blasphemy... as the holy Nicodemus the Hagiorite also said and wrote...) And even more so the ecclesiastical men should first... like the Lord... abhor Sodomism... and certainly neither support it... nor tolerate it... nor participate in it... and above all with their entire presence, appearance, and conduct in no case and by no means forgive this terrible sin as long as it is unrepentant or legitimize it officially or unofficially... overtly, manifestly, openly, silently... or tolerantly...

Shudder, heaven, and let the foundations of the earth shake...

And there are the blasphemous heterodox teachings from some... that namely if... God... gave... planted or made so that... "Lord, keep watch over my mouth... for it is shameful even to speak"... "men" to be attracted by "men"... because it was even said... this!!! From another... bishop unfortunately...

A condemnatory discourse against Sodomism

Without having the slightest animosity toward any person... or hatred... fervently desiring the salvation of all people from the foundation of the world to the end... placing ourselves below all people and all creation... before the most holy God whom we know only in the person of the holy Lord Jesus Christ... and His one and most unique most holy Orthodoxy Church, we confess and say that Sodomism is an abomination before the holy living God in both this age and the age to come... Unrepentant Sodomism is deep irrevocable damnation... We spit on every Sodomite manifestation and every related sympathy, praise, and support... We unequivocally condemn this abominable sin... while at the same time fervently longing... for the awareness and repentance and salvation of the Sodomites... We remind them that our homeland is heaven but we will never return to it persisting and insisting on our sinful passions... We point out to them that God excludes among others the dogs... that is, the Sodomites from His kingdom... We point out to them that one is the way of generation and another of excretion and male and female God made man from the beginning... We emphasize to them that the compound "philos" is absolutely unacceptable in Sodomism... They are dogs and Sodomites and not homosexuals, they are child-corrupters and not pedophiles, they are abominable and detestable beast-mounters and not zoophiles...

These... to the whole world...

Christ is Risen!!!

Orthodox Hellenism to the whole world, to all nations, to all peoples, proclaim, transmit, spread.

The blasphemy and insult of legalizing Sodomism, the devaluation and abuse of the family institution and the brutal abuse and corruption of the child's soul. The abominable, inhuman, and Antichrist law. The end of the unrepentant Antichrist blasphemers heretical Sodomite sinners.

"And the Lord said: The outcry of Sodom and Gomorrah has multiplied to me, and their sins are very great. So descending I will see if they are consummated according to their outcry coming to me, but if not, that I may know." Old Testament Genesis ch.18 v.20-21.

"Outside the dogs and the sorcerers and the fornicators and the murderers and the idolaters and everyone who loves and does falsehood." New Testament Holy Revelation of Saint John the Theologian, Apostle and Evangelist ch.22 v.15.

Truly what can we add to the above regarding the despicable, Antichrist laws, of which the first allows cohabitation between Sodomites or dogs and the second even more burdensome and impious than the first, the adoption and fostering by them of innocent and blameless children's souls.

For people, we fervently pray that they come to awareness and repentance, so that their souls are not lost, evilly, badly, as surely will happen to the unrepentant, because THE MOUTH OF GOD DOES NOT LIE, THE ONLY, THE TRUE, THE LIVING.

Godless laws, Antichrist laws, inhuman laws, unconstitutional laws, Herodian child-killing laws. Memorandum laws, prerequisite laws, structural change laws, laws invoking the revision of the Constitution, THE ORTHODOX GREEK CONSTITUTION, whose preamble is IN THE NAME OF THE ONE HOLY CONSUBSTANTIAL AND INDIVISIBLE TRINITY because THERE our Constitution swears, because it was imprinted after the Revolution of September 3, 1843 - of Makrygiannis-Kallergis as a demand of the Orthodox Christian Greeks from the papal king and the papal-Protestant regents so that the inviolability of the Orthodox Church and Faith be safeguarded also from the side of the polity, the enactment of Christ-loving laws and the prevention and rejection of Antichrist laws.

And it says in article 2, par.2 that respect and protection of human value constitute the primary obligation of the State, and it says in article 3 par.1, that THE PREVAILING RELIGION IS THE ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN.

Our Church, the Church of Greece, BY THE HEADING OF THE CONSTITUTION, AND BY THE AFOREMENTIONED ARTICLES OF IT, IS ESTABLISHED BY DEFINITION ALSO AS GUARDIAN OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE GREEKS, THAT LAWS MUST BE GOD-LOVING, NOT FIGHTING AND NOT OPPOSING THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.

Nevertheless, to the detriment of the flock, we tolerate the enactment of Antichrist laws, sometimes sufficing with simple denunciations.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES ARE VERY GREAT FOR ALL OF US AND BECAUSE THEY CONCERN THE COMING GENERATIONS AND THE INNOCENT CHILDREN'S SOULS. OTHERWISE WE WILL HEAR THOSE TERRIBLE WOES OF THE LORD AND BE BURNED IN THE FIRE OF HELL, AMEN, TRULY.

The shaven and bare within the Church's fold,
The heads, ye know, a grievous sin unfold!

The shaven and bare ones in the Church, beware,
Those heads, you know, a great sin they declare!

THE SALE AND LIQUIDATION OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST BY THE POPE OF THE EAST TO THE FALSE PROPHET, SATANIST ANTICHRIST, DEVOTEE AND CHAMPION OF THE WOKE AGENDA, POPE OF THE WEST AND TO HIS… USTASHA PAPIST-LATINS WHO IN WORLD WAR II IN THE BALKANS SLAUGHTERED, WOUNDED WITH IRREPARABLE INJURIES, GOUGINGS-OUT OF EYES AND AMPUTATIONS, AND ABUSED 1.000.000 ONE MILLION ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS, HAVING ABSOLUTELY COLLABORATED WITH THE ANTICHRIST OF THAT ERA, THEIR BROTHER ADOLF HITLER, IN THE FIRST WORLDWIDE ENTERPRISE OF ENTHRONING AN ANTICHRIST!!!..

BUT!!!

BUT ALSO THOSE WHO HISTORICALLY, THROUGHOUT ALL AGES AND PROVEN BEYOND DOUBT THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CRUSADES, EXTERMINATED THE ORTHODOX,

WISHING, INTENDING, AND STRIVING TO IMPOSE PAPIST-LATINISM UPON THEM… AND ALL THESE THINGS ALWAYS WITH THE “BLESSING” OF THE POPE!!!

THE PATRIARCHATE OF ROME, ONE OF THE FIVE ANCIENT PATRIARCHATES OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST, FELL LIKE LUCIFER

AND HAS ENDED UP, JUST LIKE LUCIFER… BECOMING SATAN, AND WHICH, JUST LIKE HIM, SOMETIMES “IS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT”…

AND NOW, AFTER IT FIRST FABRICATED AND INSTALLED A POPE IN THE EAST,

IT IS ATTEMPTING TO SACK THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AND, WITH ONE SINGLE SIGNATURE, [AT THE AGES OF SAINT MARKUS THE NOBEL BY HIS ONE AND ONLY SIGNATURE ORTHODOXIA DID NOT CONSUMED BY THE PAPISTS] TO MERGE HER INTO THE PAN-HERESY OF ECUMENISM–PAN-RELIGIONISM, FOLLOWING ALSO THE ROBBER PSEUDO-SYNOD OF KOLYMBARI IN 2016, WHICH PREPARED THE PATH OF BETRAYAL… TO DRAG HIM TO THE FINAL SIGNATURE AND TO THE DELIVERY AND SURRENDER OF ORTHODOXY… AND TO THE COMING OF THE ANTICHRIST HIMSELF.

STUDY EXCELLENTLY UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE ARTICLE

SO THAT YOU MAY SEE AND FULLY COMPREHEND WHAT THE POPE – PAPISM-LATINISM – VATICAN, STATE AND VATICAN BANK TRULY IS.

FURTHERMORE, NOTE THAT THE POPE, BEING BOTH HEAD OF STATE AND POSSESSING A BANK, IS LEGALLY ENTITLED TO VISIT EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, BRIBING OR INFLUENCING THE GOVERNMENTS OF NATIONS

IN FAVOUR OF PAPISM AND TO THE DETRIMENT OR EVEN AGAINST ORTHODOXY!!!

THUS IS EXPLAINED THE UTTERLY RUTHLESS PERSECUTION OF ORTHODOX ELLENIC MISSIONARIES IN AFRICA, ASIA, AMERICA AND ELSEWHERE

ON BEHALF OF THE ANTICHRIST AND HERETICAL VATICAN… (“ALLAHU AKBAR… AND WHAT… NEWS?”… allahu is pronounced αλλαχου in Ellenic that means elsewhere!!!)

AS WELL AS THE IMPUNITY AND NON-PROSECUTION OF THE SATAN-CLOTHED AND SATANIST PAPISTS!!!

THIS ONE, BEING THE DIRECT INSTRUMENT OF SATAN

AND OF THE SATANIST ZIONISTS OF THE NEW AGE AND THE NEW WORLD ORDER, STANDS BEHIND THE SACKING OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST, OF MOST HOLY ORTHODOXY, BUT ALSO BEHIND THE ECONOMIC EXHAUSTION AND THE BORDER-RELATED AND POLITICAL ANNIHILATION OF ELLAS; HE STANDS BEHIND THE ADULTERATION OF OUR SACRED TRADITION AND WORSHIP, AND LIKEWISE BEHIND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ACCURSED GPT AS THE SATANIC ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCE “CHURCH” – THE FALSE “LOGOS”…

FOR ALL THESE THINGS SAINT COSMAS THE AETOLIAN SAID!!!:

“CURSE THE POPE, BECAUSE HE SHALL BE THE CAUSE OF EVERY EVIL.”

WE HAVE SEEN NOTHING YET!!! WHAT THEY HAVE REVEALED TO US IS A MERE NOTHING!!! THEY HAVE ALREADY AGREED AND SIGNED EVEN MORE!!! ORTHODOXY HAS BEEN SOLD FOR A MESSE OF POTTAGE BY THE POPE OF THE EAST TO THE POPE OF THE WEST!!!

THE ANTICHRIST.. CANNOT COME WHILE JESUS BY HIS CHURCH IS AND LIVES AMONG PEOPLE AND WITHIN HUMAN HEART AND MIND.. SO HE HAS TO PUT HIM ASIDE..

..DID IT BY ONE FALSE SIGNATURE.. SELLING OUT ORTHODOXIA TO THE POPE WHO IS A FALSE PRORHETE AND PRODROMUS OF ANTICHRIST..

BEHOLD!!!

Already the Metropolises are falling one after another!!!

The isotopic marking – the mark of the beast – the sealing, the electronic identity card and the personal number are all deadly and damnable… BUT THE SELLING-OUT OF ORTHODOXY TO THE POPE, TO THE VATICAN AND TO THE PAPISTS IS INFINITELY MORE DEADLY AND DAMNABLE… Because with the persecution of the 666 identification we still have the Church as consolation and refuge… BUT WITH THE SELLING-OUT OF ORTHODOXY TO THE HERETICAL FALSE-PROPHET POPE-CAESAR AND FORERUNNER OF THE ANTICHRIST THEY ARE STRIPPING US OF OUR LAST FORTRESS!!! OUR MOST HOLY CHURCH… OUR MOST HOLY ORTHODOXY… THE ONLY TRUTH AND THE ONLY FAITH IN THIS WORLD OF DECEIVERS AND DEMON-POSSESSED MEN IN THIS AGE… AND IT WAS PRECISELY FOR THIS REASON THAT SAINT COSMAS OF AETOLIA SAID: “CURSE THE POPE…”

Our Saints knew this, but they did not reveal it openly lest the more sensitive among us fall into despair!!! And they spoke only of the identification with the Antichrist, so that the Church might remain as consolation of faith, hope and resistance, and immediately added the prophesied divine intervention (the awaited foretold events) so that we might not be marked, sealed, and lose our souls…

BUT IN REALITY THESE THINGS WILL COME TO PASS – WILL BE FULFILLED – FIRST AND FOREMOST…

SO THAT THE ONE AND ONLY CHURCH OF CHRIST MAY NOT BE SUBJUGATED TO THE POPE AND TO THE HERESY OF THE PAPISTS!!!

Brethren! The Pope of the East has set his signature and sold the Church of Christ to the Pope of the West!!! He decided for us, before us and without us… It seems that neither the Council of Crete nor the universal reactions of clergy and laity changed his mind… FROM NOW ON, WHOEVER COMMEMORATES HIM SINS MOST GRAVELY!!!

Yet hold fast, brethren, and stand firm!!! Not with factions, cliques and schisms, but with struggle from within the very theandric Body of the One Most Holy Church, believing unshakably in the word of the Lord that “the gates of Hades shall not prevail against Her”!!!

And of course, because of the infallible word of the Lord, we neither despair nor submit… clinging steadfastly to the Faith handed down to us by the Holy Fathers – to Most Holy Orthodoxy – and not to some vague, false and deluded mish-mash of suppositions, wordy chatter, lawless and godless concessions and betrayals of the true Faith to the blasphemous Papo-Vatican pan-heresy, forerunner of Ecumenism, of pan-religion, and ultimately of the Antichrist!!!

YES, BRETHREN!!! For unless the Church of Christ – Orthodoxy – falls first, the Antichrist can neither appear nor stand…

With the coronavirus they closed the Church of Christ for the Antichrist to be born… but in order for him to rule when the fullness of time comes, THEY MUST FIRST HAVE ABOLISHED THE CHURCH – ORTHODOXY!!!

AND THIS, OF COURSE, WILL NEVER HAPPEN – NEVER, NOT FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!

Our Saints told us that about two hundred priests will preserve the Faith of Truth; they will mostly be in the villages where the pressure will be lesser, whereas in the cities we shall see utter collapse… From now on we are forcibly left with the events, with hunger, but also with the consolation of those Orthodox “Elijahs” (Elias) who will not be easy to find “for fear of the Jews” – the Antichrist globalisers…

Hold fast and stand firm, brethren!!!

WITH THE PAIN AND THE BLOOD OF OUR HEART WE WRITE THE TOTAL OF THE FOLLOWING BEGGING OUR MIGHTY WORSHIPPING GOD TO ENLIGHTEN HIS CHILDREN NOT TO ABOLISH..

THEY ARE DEMANDING “BLANK CHEQUE” JOINT PRAYERS AND CO-EUCHARIST!!! ECUMENISM IS GALLOPING FORWARD!!!

Whoever does not stand in line with the holy and God-bearing Fathers of the Faith falls under their condemnations and anathemas.

The Councils mentioned below, having an absolutely Orthodox and Ecumenical character, and for this reason embraced by the Christ-named fullness [of the Church] Theologically, Ecclesiastically, and historically as the 8th and 9th Councils of Constantinople, condemned – on the basis of the Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils and the entirety of the sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Faith – heretical Papal Latinism, especially and primarily the false teaching of the “Filioque”, as well as the “Primacy” of the Pope, and likewise the devaluation of the hesychastic spiritual and prayerful struggle of unceasing noetic prayer by Barlaam and [Gregory] Akindynos.

The Church of Christ is absolutely Synodical and rests indisputably upon the all-venerable Sacred Tradition, and in no case does it constitute the opinion, perception, governance, dogma, or action of one single person (pope-like as no false)!!! – except for that of the Prize-giver, our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ!!! It always decides every Ecclesiastical matter not authoritatively or infallibly through one person or through a few, but synodically, in the presence of the holy Patriarchs or their representatives, the holy Hierarchs, Bishops, Abbots, Priests, Deacons, Monks, and from the whole of the Clergy and the laity.

From now on and henceforth, every silence concerning the issue of Ecumenism and the dragging of the Orthodox Church and Faith onto the Papal chariot constitutes a spiritual crime and a spiritual wound in the Theandric Body of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ!!!

In their joint statement, among other things, the Pope and the Patriarch point out:

“Convinced of the importance of dialogue, we express our continued support (note: intention of further concessions) for the work of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, which, in its present phase, is examining issues that have historically been considered divisive.”(note: that is, Orthodoxy used to examine them one way then, and another way now?… and that back then it regarded them primarily Theologically and also historically, whereas now we keep only the “historically” and abandon the “Theologically and Orthodoxly” – as though Orthodoxy did not exist back then and only exists now?!!! …and what, pray tell, are we doing here??? Are we judging sacred Tradition and the Apostolic Canons, the anathematisation of heretics, and the canonical ecclesiastical separation from the Papal-Latins as unrepentant heretics and antiChrists, and historically proven enemies of Orthodoxy and Orthodox Christians???)

“Together with the irreplaceable role that theological dialogue plays in the process of rapprochement between our Churches, (note: here the betrayal against the Faith is direct, because heresy is recognised as a Church and Truth is equated with falsehood – and that too with the worst of all heresies, “Papal Latinism”, forerunner of Ecumenism and destroyer of the Orthodox Church) we also highlight the other necessary elements of this process, including fraternal contacts, (note: here we even call them “brethren”, implying communion) prayer and common work in all those areas where cooperation is already possible. With emphasis we urge all the faithful of our Churches, and especially the clergy and theologians, to embrace with joyful disposition the fruits we have achieved so far and to work for the continual increase of these fruits.” (note: and here now, manifestly and obviously, “by their fruits ye shall know them” – both the tree of ecumenism and the fact that it is rotten, and being rotten it cannot produce healthy fruits. We already have experience and knowledge from the joint prayers and co-eucharist – which are blatantly condemned by the Seven Holy Ecumenical Synods together with those [Synods] described below that likewise have an absolutely Orthodox and Ecumenical character and are therefore regarded in the conscience of the faithful as the Eighth and Ninth Councils – “in all those areas where cooperation is already possible”, and because wherever they find room and meet no resistance they push it forward little by little in order to overthrow the Church of Christ; and certainly, if He allowed it, they would already have succeeded!!!)

Synod of Constantinople (8th) of Orthodox Ecumenical Value and Scope

The Holy and Great Council of Constantinople of 879–880 (President: Saint Photios the Great – co-presided by the Papal Legates)

From the Acts (Mansi XVII, 489E–492C and 516D–517C):

“If anyone does not confess that the Holy Spirit proceeds essentially from the Father alone, as Christ Himself said: ‘that which proceeds from the Father’, but says that it proceeds also from the Son, as the Latins lawlessly added to the Creed, let him be anathema.”

“If anyone dogmatises or preaches the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Son or introduces this addition into the Creed, let him be anathema.”

“If anyone honours the Roman See above all the other Churches and judges it to have authority over all, as it itself claims, let him be anathema.” (note: Hope that this won't happen with the New Roman See as bad)

“We decree and vote that no one… add to, subtract from, or alter the Creed of the Faith… If anyone should dare to compose another Creed or make an addition or subtraction to that which was handed down by our holy Fathers in Nicaea and Constantinople, let him be anathema.”

(This decree was also signed by the Papal Legates on behalf of Pope John VIII, who declared: “We anathematise every addition and subtraction from the Creed… and we reject the Filioque as blasphemous.”)

This Council was important for the restoration of Patriarch Photios and the condemnation of the addition of the Filioque to the Creed.

Participants:

Saint Photios the Great – Patriarch of Constantinople, president of the Council.

Hadrian, Patriarch of Antioch.

Theodoret, Patriarch of Alexandria.

Meletios, Patriarch of Jerusalem.

Legates of Pope John VIII (representatives of Rome) – who signed the agreement and condemned the Filioque.

Signatories:

Patriarch Photios.

Patriarchs Hadrian, Theodoret, and Meletios.

The Legates of Pope John VIII, who signed the anathemas against the Filioque and against Papal supremacy.

Synod(s) of Constantinople (9th) of Orthodox Ecumenical Value and Scope

The Holy Councils of Constantinople 1341, 1347, 1351 (President in the last one of 1351: Saint Gregory Palamas)

From the Tomos of 1351 (against the Barlaamites and Akindynites, but also explicitly against the Latin doctrine):

“Those who say that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son as from one cause, or that the Son is co-cause of the Spirit, or that there exists a second procession besides the one from the Father alone, are alien to the Orthodox Faith and are numbered together with the heretics.”

“Those who honour the Roman Church as the head of all the Churches, and consider the Pope infallible and superior to every Council, and give him authority over all the Churches, proclaim the heresy of Papism and are outside the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.”

From the same Tomos (PG 151, 722D–723A):

“For to say that the Spirit proceeds from the Son is the greatest blasphemy of the Latins, for which reason they were also cut off from the Church of Christ. Therefore those who think together with them or have unrestricted communion with them are anathema.”

These are the most exact and unaltered original texts of the two great Holy Councils of Constantinople of the 9th and 14th centuries, which remain unshakably in force in the Orthodox Church to this day.

Not a single word has been omitted or altered.

These are the anathemas against the Filioque, against Papal Primacy, against the Papist heresy, and against every Latin false teaching.

NOW, ABOVE ALL, THE STRUGGLE IS FOR THE ORTHODOX FAITH – EVEN FROM THE LEAST AND LAST OF THE FAITHFUL, SUCH AS THE ONE WHO WRITES THESE WORDS!!!

Participants:

Saint Gregory Palamas – key defender of Orthodox theology, president of the Councils of 1341 and 1351

Hierarchs and bishops from various regions of the Orthodox Church

Andronikos, Patriarch of Constantinople (presided over the 1347 Council in some cases)

Luke, Patriarch of Jerusalem

Theodore, Patriarch of Alexandria

Ecclesiastical Fathers and abbots from throughout the Byzantine Empire who upheld the Orthodox position and the condemnation of the heresies.

Signatories:

Saint Gregory Palamas – first signatory of all the decisions and condemnations

The Patriarchs and bishops of the Orthodox Church who participated

Patriarch Luke of Jerusalem, Patriarch Theodore of Alexandria, and many other bishops and hierarchs

Representatives of the monastic communities of Mount Athos (Saint Gregory Palamas was also defender of the Hesychastic Tradition of the Holy Mountain).

IT IS THEREFORE UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE ABOVE SYNODS OF ORTHODOX ECUMENICAL WORTH AND SCOPE BE IGNORED, SET ASIDE, DISHONOURED AND FALSIFIED BY ANY PATRIARCH, BISHOP, HIERARCH, PRIEST, DEACON, MONK, CLERIC OR LAYPERSON.

AND THIS MUST BE ABSOLUTELY AND MOST CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD AND, ABOVE ALL, APPLIED BY ALL OF US!!!

Otherwise we shall reach the point where, like the desperate, we seek to interpret Holy Scripture outside and without Holy Tradition and the Holy Fathers together with every severed heretic, and on the basis of this new interpretation we shall set up a new, renewed and “refreshed” “church” – a pan-heresy of Ecumenism, that is, and forerunner of the Antichrist!!!

NO TOLERANCE!!!

NOW, ABOVE ALL, THE STRUGGLE IS FOR THE ORTHODOX FAITH – EVEN FROM THE LEAST AND LAST OF THE FAITHFUL, SUCH AS THE ONE WHO WRITES THESE WORDS!!!

[The Patriarch Is Dangerous

By Archpriest Fr. Ioannis K. Diotis, Theologian-Journalist, Author-Publisher, as honored by the Academy of Athens

''Lamentation, mourning, and great sorrow. The Ecumenical Patriarch of the Orthodox Catholic Church, Fr. Bartholomew, has in essence joined the all-heretical Papism. With all the anti-Orthodox actions he continues to commit, and especially with the abhorrent events that took place in our days in Nicaea and during the so-called Throne Feast of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Patriarch presents the Pope as his superior. He constantly placed the Pope at his right hand, and in his addresses, he regarded the Pope as the canonical Bishop of Rome. Moreover, during the Patriarchal Liturgy, the Pope was commemorated as the "Most Holy Bishop of Rome."

In the past as well, when the then-Pope visited Lesbos to appear as a global philanthropist through his courtesies toward foreign refugees and migrants, Patriarch Fr. Bartholomew and Archbishop of Athens Fr. Hieronymos accompanied the Pope honorifically as his extras, with international publicity.

The Patriarch is extremely dangerous and must be deposed or declared fallen as soon as possible, because he disrupts pan-Orthodox unity while striving for a false unity with the Antichrist Papism. With the pseudo-holy Synod of Crete (June 2016) and his granting of pseudo-autocephaly to his personal pseudo-church in Kyiv from deposed, unordained, self-ordained, anathematized, and schismatic individuals, he has created many schisms throughout Orthodoxy. Now, additional schisms will be added due to what happened in Nicaea and in the Patriarchal Church, if the despiser of Orthodoxy, Fr. Bartholomew, remains in his position.

Despite the brainwashing of public opinion carried out by disreputable media outlets, reactions continue for the preservation of our Faith.

..........................................................................................................................

To the great shame and striking condemnation of Patriarch Fr. Bartholomew, I quote one of the many characterizations of Papism by our Holy Father Nektarios, Bishop of Pentapolis the Wonderworker: "The Popes became the evil demons of the Eastern Church and of the Greek Nation."]

From the Response of Ecumenical Patriarch Gregory VI to the Papal Delegation (1868)

By Ecumenical Patriarch Gregory VI of Constantinople

Short Biography: Gregory VI (secular name: Georgios Fourtouniadis; 1798–1881) was a prominent 19th-century hierarch who served as Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople twice (1835–1840 and 1867–1871). Known for his strict adherence to Orthodox tradition, zeal for the Church, and defense of canonical order, he issued encyclicals on marriage, monastic education, and doctrinal differences with the West. He firmly opposed innovations and maintained a rigid stance on ecclesiastical matters during a turbulent era under Ottoman rule.

Addressed to: Papal representatives (a delegation of abbots/envoys) sent by Pope Pius IX in 1868 to deliver an invitation for Orthodox participation in the upcoming First Vatican Council (1869–1870).

"For us Orthodox," he said, "an Ecumenical Council, Ecumenical Church, and true catholicity is and is called that holy and undefiled body in which—regardless of its numerical size—is purely summed up the teaching of the Apostles and the faith of every local Church, which was established and tested from the foundation of the Church up to the first eight centuries, during which the Fathers of the East and the West, along with the most holy and Spirit-inspired Councils, and those venerable Fathers whose writings are known to all and ought to become the infallible and safe guide for every Christian and bishop of the West who sincerely desires and seeks evangelical truth. They are the supreme criterion of Christian truth. They are the safe path upon which we can meet with the holy kiss of dogmatic union. Anyone who walks around or outside that path will be considered by us as being outside the truth and incompetent to gather around himself the members of the Orthodox Catholic Church. If, however, some Western bishops who have doubts about certain of their dogmas wish to gather, let them gather to review them daily, if they truly desire it. We have no doubt whatsoever regarding the traditionally handed down and unalterable dogmas of piety."

Nicaea 2025: The Omission of the Filioque Does Not Signal a Doctrinal Change

~ Fr. Anastasios Gotsopoulos, Presbyter

Nicaea 2025: The Omission of the Filioque Does Not Indicate a Doctrinal Shift, but Is Part of the Vatican's Ecumenical Strategy

~ Anastasios Gotsopoulos, Presbyter

Public attention was drawn to the fact that Pope Leo XIV, during his meeting with the Ecumenical Patriarch in Nicaea (modern Iznik) in Bithynia—celebrating the 1,700th anniversary of the First Ecumenical Council—and at the Phanar during the throne feast of the Patriarchate (27–30 November 2025), recited the Symbol of Faith (the Nicene Creed) without the addition of the Filioque ("and from the Son").

This papal "concession" was greeted with particular enthusiasm by journalists and certain Orthodox theologians, who described it, among other things, as "a highly significant event offering new prospects and hopes for the path toward Church unity"!

Let us examine this papal gesture in its true dimensions:

First, recall that the Filioque was initially introduced only in Spain at the Third Council of Toledo (589 AD). From the early 9th century, the Franks sought to impose it throughout the West in the Creed, but it was rejected both by the Eastern Churches and by Rome itself. Pope Leo III clashed with the Franks at the Council of Aachen (809–810) and strongly opposed the alteration of the Creed. To counter Frankish insistence on adding the Filioque, he inscribed the Creed without the addition— in Greek and Latin—on two silver tablets and hung them in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.

Later, Pope John VIII, in a letter to Patriarch Photios, accepted the condemnation of the Filioque at the Council of Constantinople (the Eighth Ecumenical Council, 879–880) as heretical teaching and its addition to the Creed as uncanonical, since it contravened the decisions of the Third and Fourth Ecumenical Councils. This alone refutes claims by papal supporters and certain Orthodox admirers of Rome that the East tolerated the Filioque for centuries without considering it a departure from ecclesiastical tradition. It is absolutely clear that as soon as the Franks attempted to alter the Creed in the West, both Rome and the East reacted strongly at the highest level (Popes Leo III and John VIII, Patriarch Photios of Constantinople, and the Eighth Ecumenical Council).

Unfortunately, however, the Franks' dominance in Rome overturned the patristic tradition, and in 1014 Pope Benedict VIII introduced the Filioque into the Creed—as explicitly acknowledged by the current Pope Leo XIV in his encyclical In Unitate Fidei (23 November 2025): "The statement 'who proceeds from the Father and the Son (Filioque)' is not found in the text of Constantinople; it was inserted into the Latin Creed only by Benedict VIII in 1014."

The immediate response of the Eastern Patriarchs to Pope Benedict VIII's arbitrary addition was to remove his name from the Diptychs of the Church of Constantinople and to break ecclesiastical communion with Rome—prior to the Schism of 1054.

Subsequently, Rome—now separated from the Church of Christ—defined the Filioque as a dogma of faith at the Fourth Lateran Council (1215) and officially accepted its addition to the Creed synodally. The Filioque is also mentioned in the "union" councils of Lyon (1274) and Ferrara-Florence (1438–1439), where those who dared deny the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son were condemned and rejected!

Thus, from that time until today, the Filioque remains an essential teaching for Rome, integrated into its dogmatic doctrine and obligatorily accepted by all the faithful. Indeed, it was imposed even on the Uniates, who maintain an external resemblance to the Orthodox but are essentially Roman Catholic.

However, after the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965)—in the context of Rome's entry into the Ecumenical Movement and its rapprochement with the "separated Christians"—Rome acknowledged the Eastern Churches' "sensitivity" on this issue without departing in the least from its dogmatic teaching:

Initially, it permitted Uniates to recite the Creed without the Filioque. With the start of the Theological Dialogue (1980), the same practice has been applied whenever joint liturgical meetings occur with Orthodox. Furthermore, even in Roman Catholic parishes in Greece, the Filioque is no longer pronounced in the Creed.

Yet note carefully: this does not imply a change in Rome's dogmatic teaching. The heretical doctrine of the procession of the Holy Spirit "from the Father and the Son (Filioque)" remains unshaken for the papists!

This is clearly stated in the 1995 document issued by the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, titled "The Greek and Latin Traditions Regarding the Procession of the Holy Spirit," which attempts a reinterpretation of the Filioque in the perspective of "unity in diversity" between the two traditions and clarifies Rome's position on not reciting it in the Creed.

The document states, among other things, that "when the Creed is recited in Greek (or in ecumenical gatherings), the Catholic Church avoids adding the Filioque to the Greek formulation," and makes clear that "this does not constitute a denial of the Latin dogmatic tradition that includes the Filioque," explaining that "the decision to use or avoid the Filioque in ecumenical prayers does not alter the dogmatic position of the Catholic Church." It concludes that "when the Creed is recited in joint Catholic-Orthodox liturgies, the form without Filioque is entirely permissible and legitimate."

In this light, the 2000 declaration Dominus Iesus (6 August 2000) quotes the Creed without the Filioque out of respect for the "sensitivities" of Eastern Christians.

Yet note also that Pope Leo XIV himself—who omitted the Filioque in the presence of the Ecumenical Patriarch—on 29 November in Istanbul, after the reception and Doxology at the Phanar, attended a Latin Mass at Volkswagen Arena, where the choir properly sang the Creed with the Filioque in Latin: "Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit."

From the above, it is evident that the omission of the Filioque in Nicaea and at the Phanar is nothing new, nor does it signify any particular development in Orthodox-Papal relations—above all, it does not indicate rejection of the heresy and a return to patristic tradition. It is simply the consolidation of an existing practice and, primarily, a means of misleading our uninstructed faithful...

Without doubt, this papal "concession" fits into the ecumenical planning of the Second Vatican Council—a plan that certain Orthodox leaderships have accepted and follow in building relations with the broader Christian world.

During the three-day papal visit, the same "protocol" was observed as in previous papal visits to the Phanar (2006, 2014), with uncanonical conjoint prayers and incomplete concelebrations. We again heard repeatedly—even from Orthodox lips—the phrase "full communion." I wonder: when did the Fathers of the Church or pre-Vatican II Orthodox hierarchs ever use the term "full communion" in relations with non-Orthodox? For those unfamiliar with ecumenical terminology, note that the language of "partial" and "full" communion forms the foundation of the new ecclesiology of Vatican II (in the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium and the Decree on Ecumenism Unitatis Redintegratio)!

For anyone with basic knowledge of Church history and Orthodox ecclesiology, this teaching—expressed through such terminology—is utterly foreign. Yet it has now become entrenched in ecumenical encounters and is used freely by Orthodox who largely share the Vatican ecclesiology.

This year's visit of the Pontiff to the Phanar featured a subtle but extremely significant development in the terminology used for translating the term homoousios ("consubstantial") into English—a shift clearly indicating a change in dogmatic approach to this issue, as astutely observed by Professor Marina Kolovopulu of the Theological Faculty at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

In conclusion, regarding the present matter: Pope Leo XIV's "Apostolic Journey" to Nicaea-Istanbul yielded a triple benefit for the distinguished visitor:

1. By reciting the Creed without the Filioque, naive Orthodox—artfully guided by "professional ecumenists"—were thrilled by the supposed positive outcomes of inter-Christian dialogue that "persuaded" the Pope to remove the Filioque! They conceal, however, that the Pope did not depart in the least from the dogmatic teaching on the Filioque, which remains fully in force!
2. Another brick was laid in habituating the Orthodox people to ecumenical terminology about "partial and full communion."
3. Most importantly, the roadmap for "Church union"—as designed and methodically implemented by the Vatican and its fellow travelers—was preserved in full vigor.

Under these conditions, can we, as faithful Orthodox, truly be enthusiastic and joyful?

SO THAT WE DO NOT FORGET!!!

The history of the Roman Catholic Church and of the Vatican toward Orthodoxy is not merely a narrative of theological disagreements; it is a long chain of wars, betrayals, genocides, economic exploitation and secret diplomacy that stretches from the eleventh century until our own day. It all begins with the Schism of 1054, when Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael Cerularius mutually excommunicated each other, yet the true rupture was not theological; it was political and hegemonic. The Vatican desired world dominion; Constantinople refused to submit.

The first great act of violence came with the Crusades – and indeed from the very first ones.

Already during the First Crusade (1096-1099), the “people’s” crusades under Peter the Hermit and Walter the Penniless wiped out entire Jewish communities in the Rhineland, but when the regular crusaders of Godfrey of Bouillon and Bohemond passed through the Balkans, the first attacks against Orthodox began. In 1098 Bohemond seized Antioch, expelled the Orthodox Patriarch John the Oxite and installed a Latin patriarch. Antioch remained under Latin occupation until 1268.

The climax of the atrocity of the First Crusade took place on 15 July 1099 in Jerusalem: the crusaders, having captured the city, slaughtered almost the entire Muslim and Jewish population, but made no distinction even for the Orthodox Christians. On Mount Zion and inside the Church of the Resurrection thousands of Greek Orthodox, Armenians and Jacobite Syrians were massacred. The number of dead in Jerusalem is estimated at between 40,000 and 70,000 in just a few hours – tens of thousands of them innocent Orthodox who had taken refuge in the churches. The crusaders waded up to their knees in blood, as their own chroniclers write (Raymond of Aguilers: “in the Temple of Solomon the blood reached the knees and the bridles of the horses”). The Orthodox clergy were expelled, Patriarch Symeon II of Jerusalem was exiled to Cyprus where he died, and a Latin Patriarch was installed.

In the Second Crusade (1147-1149), while the main expedition failed, French and German crusaders plundered Orthodox regions of Asia Minor and Thrace during their passage. Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany allowed their soldiers to rob Orthodox monks and villages.

The Third Crusade (1189-1192) of Richard the Lionheart and Philip Augustus may have had Saladin as its target, but in Cyprus Richard seized the island from the Orthodox emperor Isaac Komnenos (1191), sold it to the Templars and then to Guy de Lusignan, beginning a Latin dynasty that violently oppressed the Orthodox population for three centuries: confiscation of churches, double taxes, prohibition of the ordination of Orthodox bishops without Latin permission.

The Fourth Crusade of 1204, directly instigated by Pope Innocent III and financed by Venice, never headed toward Jerusalem. Instead, the “crusaders” sacked Constantinople, the capital of Orthodoxy. For three days they massacred, raped nuns upon the Holy Altars, melted down sacred vessels to mint coins, burned libraries and turned Hagia Sophia into a Latin cathedral. The Pope, instead of excommunicating them, blessed them and accepted the stolen goods. From that moment the Eastern Roman Empire never recovered and fell in 1453 to the Ottomans – a fall that the Vatican secretly welcomed, because it eliminated its chief rival.

The next method was the Unia. From the 16th century and especially after the Union of Brest in 1596, the Vatican created artificial “Eastern Catholic Churches” (Uniates) that kept Orthodox liturgy but submitted to the Pope. In Ukraine, Romania, the Middle East, Jesuits and Dominicans, with money and threats, detached communities from the Orthodox Patriarchs. In the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the Uniates became an instrument for the extermination of the Orthodox; thousands of churches were seized, priests imprisoned, the people forcibly Latinised. Even today the Unia remains the Vatican’s most insidious weapon in Eastern Europe.

At the Council of Ferrara-Florence (1438-1439) Saint Mark of Ephesus suffered absolute humiliation. The Latins, with bribes and pressure from Emperor John VIII Palaiologos, forced most Greek hierarchs to sign the false union. Mark refused. They isolated him, threatened him with imprisonment, kept him almost a captive in Venice, publicly insulted him as a “heretic”. When he returned, the people received him as a hero, but the false union had already sown discord that lasted for centuries.

During the Second World War the Vatican of Pope Pius XII (Pacelli) showed its true face. Archbishop Alojzije Stepinac of Zagreb, personal friend of the Pope, was the ideological father of the Croatian Ustashe. Under his blessing the Ustashe slaughtered over 500,000 Serbian Orthodox; priests were boiled alive, children forcibly baptised into Catholicism. The Vatican not only did not condemn it, but received Pavelić in audience after the war and helped hundreds of war criminals escape via the infamous “Ratline” to Latin America. Pius XII himself, the so-called “Hitler’s Pope”, signed the Concordat with Nazi Germany in 1933 and never excommunicated Hitler or Mussolini.

The Vatican Bank (IOR) from 1942 onward became the central hub for money laundering. It was linked to the Sicilian Mafia (Michele Sindona, Licio Gelli, Roberto Calvi of Banco Ambrosiano), to the notorious “Lodge P2”, to the scandal of Calvi’s death under Blackfriars Bridge in London in 1982. Hundreds of millions of dollars from drugs, arms and human trafficking passed through the Institute for Religious Works, always with the Vatican’s tolerance.

Ecumenism of the 20th and 21st centuries is the modern version of the Unia. Popes such as John Paul II and Francis promote the “union of the Churches” on terms of complete submission of Orthodoxy. Meetings in Balamand, Ravenna, the Charta Oecumenica, documents recognising the Pope as “first among equals” or “first without equals” – all are steps toward absorption. At the same time the Vatican finances NGOs that promote globalisation, the abolition of national borders, the agenda of the New World Order.

The calendar issue of 1924 was not merely astronomical. Patriarch Meletios Metaxakis, friend of the Venizelists and financed by Western embassies, imposed the new calendar with military violence. Priests were imprisoned, monasteries destroyed, the people beaten. Many historians see behind this move pressure from the Vatican and the Anglican Church for a “common Easter” as the first step toward union.

In the European economic crisis of 2009-2015 the Vatican, through its presence in the European Investment Bank and its ties with German and French banks, indirectly supported the austerity policy that struck Orthodox countries hardest (Greece, Cyprus, Serbia). The Cyprus haircut of 2013, imposed by the troika, had the Vatican as a moral instigator that wished to crush the Orthodox economic autonomy of the island.

As for the dark accusations of Satanism: there is irrefutable evidence of black-magic rites inside the Vatican during the era of Paul VI (1963-1978). Swiss bishop Michel Sarié and exorcist Fr Gabriele Amorth spoke openly of a “Satanist sect” within the Curia. The paedophilia scandal revealed from 2002 onward was not merely sexual crimes; in many cases (Boston, Ireland, Australia, Chile) it was linked to ritual abuse and Satanic symbols. The Vatican concealed thousands of files and systematically transferred the perpetrators instead of handing them over to justice.

The Mafia and the Vatican were never separated. Calogero Vizzini, Leoluca Bagarella, Bernardo Provenzano – all had accounts at the IOR. Cardinal Marcinkus, president of the Vatican Bank 1971-1989, admitted: “You cannot run the Church on Hail Marys alone.” When Italian justice sought to arrest him, the Vatican granted him immunity.

Within this historical framework, every handshake of a Pope with an Orthodox Patriarch, every “joint declaration of love”, every “prayer together” in Assisi or in Cuba, is nothing but the continuation of the same policy that began in 1099 in Jerusalem, continued in 1204 in Constantinople, and marches on with Stepinac, Pacelli, Marcinkus and the present age of globalisation: for the Papists, on the basis of indisputable historical evidence, Orthodoxy must either submit or perish.

I. SPECIFIC CANONS CONCERNING THE PASCHALION

1. Canon Ζ΄ (7th) of the Holy Apostles

«Εἴ τις ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος τὴν ἁγίαν ἡμέραν τοῦ Πάσχα πρὸ τῆς ἐαρινῆς ἰσημερίας μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτάσῃ, καθαιρείσθω. Εἰ δὲ λαϊκός, ἀκοινώνητος ἔστω.»

If any bishop, or presbyter, or deacon shall celebrate the holy day of Pascha before the spring equinox together with the Jews, let him be deposed. But if a layperson, let him be excommunicated.

---

2. Canon Ζ΄ (7th) of the First Ecumenical Council (Nicaea, 325 A.D.)

«Περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πάσχα, ὅπως μὴ μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτάζωμεν, ἀλλ’ ὅπως πάντες ὁμοίως ἑορτάσωμεν κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἡμέραν. Εἰ γὰρ μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτάζομεν, οὐκέτι Χριστιανοί ἐσμεν, ἀλλὰ Ἰουδαΐζομεν. Ὅθεν ἀπεφασίσαμεν, ὅπως μηκέτι μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτάζωμεν, ἀλλὰ μετὰ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας. Εἰ δέ τις τολμήσειεν παρὰ τὸ δόγμα τῆς πίστεως καὶ τοῦ σωτηριώδους τούτου ἑορτασμοῦ παραβαίνειν, εἴτε ἱερεύς τις εἴη ἢ κληρικός, οὗτος ἐξωρισθήτω· εἰ δὲ λαϊκός τις, ἀκοινώνητος ἔστω.»

Concerning the holy Pascha, that we should not celebrate it together with the Jews, but that all should celebrate alike on the same day. For if we celebrate with the Jews, we are no longer Christians, but we Judaize. Wherefore we have decreed that henceforth we no longer celebrate with the Jews, but with the Church. But if anyone should dare to transgress against the dogma of the faith and this salvific celebration, whether he be a priest or a cleric, let him be deposed; but if a layperson, let him be excommunicated.

3. Canon Α΄ (1st) of the Local Council of Antioch (341 A.D.)

«Πάντες οἱ τολμῶντες παραλύειν τὴν ὁρισθεῖσαν ὑπὸ τῆς ἁγίας Συνόδου τῆς ἐν Νικαίᾳ περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πάσχα ἑορτῆς καιρὸν ἢ τὰ ἑξῆς αὐτῆς, ἀκοινώνητοι ἔστωσαν καὶ ἀλλότριοι τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, εἴ γε ἐπιμένωσι φιλονεικῶς ἐναντιοῦσθαι τοῖς καλῶς δεδογμένοις. Καὶ ταῦτα εἰρήσθω περὶ λαϊκῶν. Εἰ δέ τις τῶν προεστώτων τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, ἐπίσκοπος ἢ πρεσβύτερος ἢ διάκονος, μετὰ ταύτην τὴν ὁρισθεῖσαν ὑπὸ τῆς Συνόδου, τολμήσειε πρὸς διαστροφὴν τῶν λαῶν καὶ ταραχὴν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν ἰδιάζειν καὶ μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἑορτάζειν, τοῦτον ἡ ἁγία Σύνοδος ἐκ τοῦ νῦν ἀλλότριον ἔκρινε τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, οὐ μόνον αὐτὸν ἑαυτῷ ἀπολογίαν ὀφείλοντα, ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς μετ’ αὐτοῦ τολμῶντας ταραχὴν ποιεῖν.»

All who dare to violate the definition established by the holy Council held in Nicaea concerning the time of the feast of holy Pascha or what follows therefrom, let them be excommunicated and aliens from the Church, if they persist contentiously in opposing what has been rightly decreed. And let this be said concerning laypersons. But if any of those presiding over the Church—a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon—after this definition established by the Council, should dare, for the perversion of the peoples and the disturbance of the churches, to act independently and to celebrate with the Jews, the holy Council has judged such a one from now on to be an alien from the Church, owing an account not only for himself but also for those who dare with him to cause disturbance.

II. GENERAL CANONS CONCERNING JOINT PRAYER AND COMMON WORSHIP

4. Canon ΜΕ΄ (45th) of the Holy Apostles

«Ἐπίσκοπος, ἢ πρεσβύτερος, ἢ διάκονος αἱρετικοῖς σὺν προσευξάμενος, μόνον ἀκοινώνητος ἔστω· εἰ δὲ καὶ λειτουργεῖν αὐτοῖς ἐπιτρέψειεν ὡς κληρικοῖς, καθαιρέσθω.»

A bishop, or presbyter, or deacon who has only prayed together with heretics, let him be excommunicated alone; but if he has also permitted them to perform any clerical function as clerics, let him be deposed.

---

5. Canon ΞΔ΄ (64th) of the Holy Apostles

«Εἴ τις κληρικὸς ἢ λαϊκὸς εἰσέλθῃ εἰς συναγωγὴν Ἰουδαίων ἢ αἱρετικῶν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ μὲν κληρικὸς καθαιρέσθω, ὁ δὲ λαϊκὸς ἀφοριζέσθω.»

If any cleric or layperson should enter a synagogue of Jews or of heretics to pray, let the cleric be deposed, and let the layperson be excommunicated.

---

6. Canon Ι΄ (10th) of the Fourth Ecumenical Council (Chalcedon, 451 A.D.)

«Μὴ ἐξεῖναι κληρικῷ ἢ λαϊκῷ εὔχεσθαι μετὰ αἱρετικῶν ἢ σχισματικῶν, οὔτε ἐν οἰκίᾳ οὔτε ἐν ναῷ, οὔτε ἐν οἰκοδομήματι οἰκείῳ οὔτε ἐν ξενικῷ, ἀλλὰ πανταχοῦ ἀποκεκρίσθωσαν ἀπὸ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, εἰ μὴ μετανοήσωσι.»

It is not permitted for a cleric or layperson to pray with heretics or schismatics, neither in a house nor in a church, neither in one’s own building nor in a foreign one, but let them be entirely cut off from the Church everywhere, unless they repent.

«Μηδενὶ τῶν κληρικῶν ἢ λαϊκῶν ἐξεῖναι μετὰ αἱρετικῶν προσεύχεσθαι, ἢ εἰς τὰς αὐτῶν εἰσέρχεσθαι ἐκκλησίας, ἢ κοινὰς εὐχὰς ποιεῖσθαι μετ’ αὐτῶν, ἢ κοινὰς ἑορτὰς ἑορτάζειν, ἢ κοινὰς τραπέζας ἔχειν μετ’ αὐτῶν, ἢ κοινὰς κλῖνας, ἢ κοινὰς λουτρὰς, ἢ κοινὰς ὁδοιπορίας, ἢ κοινὰς συναναστροφάς, ἢ κοινὰς συνοικίας, ἢ κοινὰς συναλλαγάς, ἢ κοινὰς συμφωνίας, ἢ κοινὰς ὁμολογίας πίστεως, ἢ κοινὰς βαπτίσεις, ἢ κοινὰς χειροτονίας, ἢ κοινὰς λειτουργίας, ἢ κοινὰς εὐχὰς ἢ κοινὰς εὐλογίας.»

It is not permitted to any of the clerics or laity to pray with heretics, or to enter their churches, or to make common prayers with them, or to celebrate common feasts with them, or to have common tables with them, or common beds, or common baths, or common journeys, or common associations, or common dwellings, or common transactions, or common agreements, or common confessions of faith, or common baptisms, or common ordinations, or common liturgies, or common prayers or common blessings.

8. Canon ΙΔ΄ (14th) of the Second Ecumenical Council (Constantinople, 381 A.D.)

«Οἱ σχισματικοὶ οὐ κοινωνοῦσιν ἡμῖν εἰς τὰ μυστήρια, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ἑορτάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ἀκολουθίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συναθροίσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνάξεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνοικίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συναναστροφάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνομιλίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συμφωνίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ὁμολογίας πίστεως, οὔτε εἰς τὰς βαπτίσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς χειροτονίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς λειτουργίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐλογίας.»

Schismatics do not commune with us in the mysteries, nor in the prayers, nor in the feasts, nor in the services, nor in the gatherings, nor in the assemblies, nor in the dwellings, nor in the associations, nor in the conversations, nor in the agreements, nor in the confessions of faith, nor in the baptisms, nor in the ordinations, nor in the liturgies, nor in the prayers, nor in the blessings.

III. LATER SYNODAL DECISIONS

9. Council of Constantinople (1484 A.D.) – Full Decision

«Ἡ Ἁγία καὶ Μεγάλη Σύνοδος τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, συνελθοῦσα ἐπὶ Πατριάρχου Συμεὼν τοῦ Τραπεζουντίου, ἀπεφάσισεν ὅτι οἱ Λατίνοι, καινοτομήσαντες τὸ ἡμερολόγιον καὶ τὸ πασχάλιον, καὶ προσθέσαντες τὸ Filioque εἰς τὸ Σύμβολον, καὶ διδάξαντες τὸ πρωτεῖον τοῦ Πάπα, καὶ τὴν ἄζυμον ἄρτον, καὶ τὴν κτιστὴν χάριν, καὶ τὸ καθαρτήριον πῦρ, καὶ τὰς ἑπτὰ μυστήρια, καὶ τὰς ἄλλας αἱρέσεις αὐτῶν, εἰσὶ σχισματικοὶ καὶ αἱρετικοί. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι κοινωνεῖν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὰ θεῖα μυστήρια, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ἑορτάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ἀκολουθίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνάξεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνοικίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συναναστροφάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συνομιλίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς συμφωνίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς ὁμολογίας πίστεως, οὔτε εἰς τὰς βαπτίσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς χειροτονίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς λειτουργίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς εὐλογίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ἑορτάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς τραπέζας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς κλῖνας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς λουτρὰς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ὁδοιπορίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συναλλαγάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συνοικίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συναναστροφάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συνομιλίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συμφωνίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ὁμολογίας πίστεως, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς βαπτίσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς χειροτονίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς λειτουργίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας.»

The Holy and Great Council of Constantinople, convened under Patriarch Symeon of Trebizond, decided that the Latins, having innovated the calendar and the paschalion, and having added the Filioque to the Symbol [of Faith], and having taught the primacy of the Pope, and unleavened bread, and created grace, and purgatorial fire, and the seven mysteries, and their other heresies, are schismatics and heretics. Wherefore it is not permitted to commune with them in the divine mysteries, nor in the prayers, nor in the feasts, nor in the services, nor in the assemblies, nor in the dwellings, nor in the associations, nor in the conversations, nor in the agreements, nor in the confessions of faith, nor in the baptisms, nor in the ordinations, nor in the liturgies, nor in the prayers, nor in the blessings, nor in the common feasts, nor in the common tables, nor in the common beds, nor in the common baths, nor in the common journeys, nor in the common transactions, nor in the common dwellings, nor in the common associations, nor in the common conversations, nor in the common agreements, nor in the common confessions of faith, nor in the common baptisms, nor in the common ordinations, nor in the common liturgies, nor in the common prayers, nor in the common blessings.

10. Encyclical of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece (1972)

«Ἡ Ἱερὰ Σύνοδος τῆς Ἐκκλησίας τῆς Ἑλλάδος, συνελθοῦσα κατὰ τὴν συνεδρίαν αὐτῆς τῆς 15ης Μαρτίου 1972, ἀπεφάσισεν ὅτι οἱ ἱεροὶ κανόνες τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, οἱ ἀπαγορεύοντες τὴν συμπροσευχήν μετὰ τῶν ἑτεροδόξων, ἰσχύουν ἀπαρεγκλίτως καὶ σήμερον. Διότι οἱ ἑτερόδοξοι, καὶ ἰδίως οἱ Παπικοί, οὐ μόνον δὲν ἀπεδέχθησαν τὰς ἀποφάσεις τῶν Οἰκουμενικῶν Συνόδων, ἀλλὰ καὶ προσέθεσαν νέας αἱρέσεις, ὡς τὸ Filioque, τὸ πρωτεῖον τοῦ Πάπα, τὴν ἄζυμον ἄρτον, τὸ καθαρτήριον πῦρ, κ.λπ. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι τοῖς Ὀρθοδόξοις νὰ συμπροσεύχωνται μετ’ αὐτῶν, οὔτε εἰς τὰς μεγάλας ἑορτάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ἐκδηλώσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ἀκολουθίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς τραπέζας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συνάξεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συνομιλίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς συμφωνίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς ὁμολογίας πίστεως, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς βαπτίσεις, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς χειροτονίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς λειτουργίας, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας.»

The Holy Synod of the Church of Greece, having convened in its session of March 15, 1972, decided that the sacred canons of the Church, which prohibit joint prayer with the heterodox, remain in full force without exception even today. For the heterodox, and especially the Papists, not only did not accept the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils, but also added new heresies, such as the Filioque, the primacy of the Pope, unleavened bread, purgatorial fire, etc. Wherefore it is not permitted for the Orthodox to pray jointly with them, neither in the great feasts, nor in common events, nor in common services, nor in common prayers, nor in common blessings, nor in common tables, nor in common gatherings, nor in common conversations, nor in common agreements, nor in common confessions of faith, nor in common baptisms, nor in common ordinations, nor in common liturgies, nor in common prayers, nor in common blessings.

IV. DETAILED INTERPRETATION BY SAINT NICODEMUS THE HAGIORITE (from the Pidalion)

A. On Canon Ζ΄ of the Apostles

«Ὁ κανὼν οὗτος οὐ μόνον τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἀπαγορεύει, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς αἱρετικοὺς καὶ σχισματικούς. Διότι τὸ Πάσχα εἶναι ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν ἑορτῶν, καὶ ἡ κορυφὴ τῆς πίστεως. Ὅθεν ὁ συνεορτασμὸς μετὰ τῶν ἑτεροδόξων εἶναι ἀρνησις τῆς Ὀρθοδόξου πίστεως. Οἱ Λατίνοι, καινοτομήσαντες τὸ πασχάλιον, καὶ ἑορτάζοντες μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, εἰσὶ σχισματικοὶ καὶ αἱρετικοί. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι τοῖς Ὀρθοδόξοις νὰ ἑορτάζωσι μετ’ αὐτῶν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀνάστασιν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Λειτουργίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀγρυπνίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας.» (Pidalion, pp. 23–24)

This canon prohibits not only the Jews, but also all heretics and schismatics. For Pascha is the feast of feasts, and the summit of the faith. Wherefore joint celebration with the heterodox is a denial of the Orthodox faith. The Latins, having innovated the paschalion and celebrating with the Jews, are schismatics and heretics. Wherefore it is not permitted for the Orthodox to celebrate with them, neither in the Resurrection, nor in the Liturgy, nor in the Vigil, nor in common prayers, nor in common blessings.

---

B. On Canon Ζ΄ of the First Ecumenical Council

«Ἡ Σύνοδος τῆς Νικαίας οὐ μόνον διὰ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἀπεφάσισεν, ἀλλὰ διὰ πάντας τοὺς ἑτεροδόξους. Διότι τὸ Πάσχα εἶναι ἡ ἑορτὴ τῆς Ἀναστάσεως, καὶ ἡ Ἀνάστασις εἶναι ἡ βάσις τῆς πίστεως. Ὅθεν ὁ συνεορτασμὸς μετὰ τῶν Λατίνων εἶναι ἀρνησις τῆς Ὀρθοδόξου Ἀναστάσεως. Οἱ Λατίνοι, ἑορτάζοντες μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, καὶ καινοτομήσαντες τὸ ἡμερολόγιον, εἰσὶ σχισματικοί. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι τοῖς Ὀρθοδόξοις νὰ ἑορτάζωσι μετ’ αὐτῶν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀνάστασιν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Λειτουργίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀγρυπνίαν.» (Pidalion, pp. 145–147)

The Council of Nicaea decided not only on account of the Jews, but on account of all the heterodox. For Pascha is the feast of the Resurrection, and the Resurrection is the foundation of the faith. Wherefore joint celebration with the Latins is a denial of the Orthodox Resurrection. The Latins, celebrating with the Jews and having innovated the calendar, are schismatics. Wherefore it is not permitted for the Orthodox to celebrate with them, neither in the Resurrection, nor in the Liturgy, nor in the Vigil.

---

C. On Canon Α΄ of Antioch

«Ὁ κανὼν οὗτος οὐ μόνον τοὺς Ἰουδαίους ἀπαγορεύει, ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντας τοὺς αἱρετικοὺς καὶ σχισματικούς. Διότι οἱ Λατίνοι, καινοτομήσαντες τὸ πασχάλιον, καὶ ἑορτάζοντες μετὰ τῶν Ἰουδαίων, εἰσὶ σχισματικοί. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι τοῖς Ὀρθοδόξοις νὰ ἑορτάζωσι μετ’ αὐτῶν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀνάστασιν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Λειτουργίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀγρυπνίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας.» (Pidalion, pp. 298–299)

This canon prohibits not only the Jews, but also all heretics and schismatics. For the Latins, having innovated the paschalion and celebrating with the Jews, are schismatics. Wherefore it is not permitted for the Orthodox to celebrate with them, neither in the Resurrection, nor in the Liturgy, nor in the Vigil, nor in common prayers, nor in common blessings.

D. On the General Canons of Joint Prayer

«Οἱ κανόνες ΜΕ΄, ΞΔ΄ τῶν Ἀποστόλων, Ι΄ τῆς Χαλκηδόνος, ΛΓ΄ τῆς Τρούλλου, ΙΔ΄ τῆς Β΄ Οἰκουμενικῆς, οὐ μόνον τὴν συμπροσευχήν ἀπαγορεύουσι, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὴν κοινὴν λατρείαν, τὴν κοινὴν ἑορτήν, τὴν κοινὴν εὐλογίαν, τὴν κοινὴν τράπεζαν, τὴν κοινὴν κλίνην, τὴν κοινὴν λουτράν, τὴν κοινὴν ὁδοιπορίαν, τὴν κοινὴν συναλλαγὴν, τὴν κοινὴν συνοικίαν, τὴν κοινὴν συναναστροφὴν, τὴν κοινὴν συνομιλίαν, τὴν κοινὴν συμφωνίαν, τὴν κοινὴν ὁμολογίαν πίστεως, τὴν κοινὴν βάπτισιν, τὴν κοινὴν χειροτονίαν, τὴν κοινὴν λειτουργίαν, τὴν κοινὴν εὐχήν, τὴν κοινὴν εὐλογίαν. Ὅθεν οὐκ ἔξεστι τοῖς Ὀρθοδόξοις νὰ ἑορτάζωσι τὸ Πάσχα μετὰ τῶν Λατίνων, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀνάστασιν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Λειτουργίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὴν Ἀγρυπνίαν, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐχάς, οὔτε εἰς τὰς κοινὰς εὐλογίας.» (Pidalion, pp. 62–63, 78, 412, 378, 198)

The canons 45 and 64 of the Apostles, 10 of Chalcedon, 33 of Trullo, 14 of the Second Ecumenical, prohibit not only joint prayer, but also common worship, common feast, common blessing, common table, common bed, common bath, common journey, common transaction, common dwelling, common association, common conversation, common agreement, common confession of faith, common baptism, common ordination, common liturgy, common prayer, common blessing. Wherefore it is not permitted for the Orthodox to celebrate Pascha with the Latins, neither in the Resurrection, nor in the Liturgy, nor in the Vigil, nor in common prayers, nor in common blessings.

OPEN LETTER TO THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE

With paternal sorrow we write the lines that follow, having by the grace of God the awareness of our deficiency as regards repentance, formation, and our Orthodox life in the Holy Lord Jesus Christ our God. Concerning the particular and indeed eschatological matters of the Antichrist in this globalizing age, and also the fact that the Throne of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is located within a state and nation especially hostile and foreign to the Faith of pious and Orthodox Christians and to Hellenism everywhere on earth…

These are circumstances — we want to believe, prudently and not imprudently — for which you too, without the relevant pressures, threats and intimidations, in many decisions and actions contrary to or distinguishable from the Holy Orthodox Tradition, would not have acted, collaborated or participated. On the contrary, even walking on the razor’s edge of Orthodox Faith and Truth and standing on precipices on all sides… given also that “to be Orthodox is ever to walk a tightrope,” and recognizing, sympathizing and sharing in the exceedingly heavy Cross which you bear as Ecumenical Patriarch — especially in this eschatological era of the middle of the eighth millennium since the creation of the world —

yet nevertheless, always by duty and out of reverence, with fear and trembling before the Holy Lord Jesus Christ the only God, as the least members of the one Most Holy Orthodox Church — with much love and compassion but also with truth and discretion, by the grace of God (we want to believe) — we write the following.

As children to a father, we ask:

A) Why in the Synod of Kolymvari did you write the heresies…churches, when neither in the sense of the Orthodox Churches can we equate them, but MAINLY because the Symbol of Faith — which surely constitutes the dogmatic epitome of the Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils — explicitly and ORTHODOXLY refers to ONE Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, that is, that outside of it there is no other Church of God, nor is there, nor does it exist, with the result that the phrasing becomes a springboard for equating the One Church with heresies, and the patching clarifications do not suffice to repair this dogmatic and theological error. Pardon me to venture to say: an impropriety! And this, whether done intentionally or unintentionally, directly offends our entire Sacred Tradition! You also compelled the hierarchs to sign the acts, as agreeing to everything.

Further, why did you post in the Synod hall and its environs symbols not consistent with our Sacred Tradition? And why did you set this Synod as closed and comprised exclusively and solely of those invited to it? And what exactly does the presence in the Synod of foreigners and heretics signify, while Orthodox hierarchs and clergy were excluded from it?

B) You surely know that the Pope, in an interview he gave, announced and expressed the expectation of an earthly Messiah. His statements:

“People, very soon the ‘Son of God’ will come, who will bring us peace. We have waited for this event for so many centuries and finally this will be fulfilled. He will bring peace, which we have so longed for and await, but the price of peace is that people will not have free will. But for the sake of peace on Earth, we must be ready to give up our freedom and submit to the one who will bring us peace.

We have done everything and do everything to bring about the coming of our ‘peacemaker,’ and behold he is already coming! He will bring us a new political reality to which we must all submit. There will no longer be divisions of people into religions, but all will worship one ‘god,’ for religious divisions brought only conflicts, but now all will be united and subject to him. Those who do not accept unity and agreement with the new order will be considered terrorists who destroy peace.

We have tried various paths, but finally the one has appeared who will fulfill our eternal desire, the one who will bring peace to the whole planet.”

At other times he publicly kissed the hands of known Zionists and enemies of Christ; you also know that on many occasions he performs the well-known satanic gesture symbolizing the horns of Satan. Therefore this man or this office — and because the Holy Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ tells us that by the fruit we will know the tree — appears manifestly, plainly, and brazenly, and with impudence and audacity unrepentant; there is no way even mentally that he would align with anything Orthodox or submit to the Sacred Tradition of Orthodox Faith and Truth; and especially because by these acts he blasphemes directly against the Holy Spirit of God the Holy and Living, which you surely know is the only unforgivable sin, working out for the sinner judgment, destruction and annihilation, especially for the unrepentant participant in it.

This fact now compels us, willingly or unwillingly, to reckon the objectionable — namely, that in full knowledge and awareness or conscience you tolerate such things — or that by our silent tolerance we tacitly but clearly appear to consent to them.

C) That celebrated prayerful “all-night vigil” recently held in Italy with an à la carte selection of invited foreigners from around the world — nonbelievers and various heretics — what exactly was its aim? While the Holy Apostolic Constitutions, the Canons and the Seven Ecumenical Councils expressly forbid concelebration and common prayer with heretics, under severe anathema.

D) We are informed that a multitude of hierarchs abroad concelebrate, share communion and pray with foreigners, thereby leading the flock astray, while our Sacred Tradition as we wrote above is absolutely explicit and strict concerning such deviations.

E) Why did you tolerate even the suspicion of defamation of the reputation of that humble and very learned and steadfastly Orthodox and holy man, Archbishop Demetrios of America, regarding the scandal of the mismanagement of donations for the reconstruction of the Holy Church of Saint Nicholas, while the whole world knows exactly what has happened and who and how are responsible for that matter, and which of them remain unrepentantly within the bosom of the Holy Archdiocese of America.

P.S. The relevant article of the website that follows gives detailed information concerning this case.

“Perpetual storm at the Archdiocese of America with …” Bankingnews https://www.bankingnews.gr › mple-fakelos › articles 16 March 2020 — … the Church of Saint Nicholas receiving (according to at least the claimants) new large donations. In his attempt to rely on the old … And why did you tolerate such an architectural design of the new Holy Church which is foreign to our Sacred Tradition? And in which, as we were informed, recently a gathering was organized with the title “evening of… [sic]”!

F) Why do you tolerate within the bosom of the Church clergy who publicly acknowledge as parents openly declared sodomites — at the same time that you rightly suspend and remove from office a major Patriarchal Archimandrite whose hand… was investigated for material elements — are sins against inanimate things lighter than those against living persons?

Those little children who were baptized in the Name of the Creator of Heaven and earth and all things in them, and who made man, male and female, and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and to form Orthodox families — what will they see, what will they hear, and what will they live in this house, in what family in the Name of the Almighty God ( “tremble, O sun; sigh, O earth”) and in what exactly have we cooperated, intentionally or unintentionally…and truly, what will be our reward for this?

Instead of denouncing as a Church such kinds of “sponsors” — rather “tolerances” to say the least — and “families” and entirely refraining from any related rite, lest in this matter too, willingly or unwillingly, we have all blasphemed against the Holy Spirit by participating and tolerating?

G) Concerning the work of canonizing the new Saints of the Orthodox Faith, I respectfully submit that, based on the Sacred Tradition of our Church, in those cases in which it is established that a candidate for canonization has taught or written in disagreement with Orthodox Faith, in no case is their canonization appropriate — even if he worked miracles in his life — otherwise it is as if we praise or accept heterodox teachings in the Church. And perhaps — alas — we may reach the point of choosing which Saint and which icon we will venerate and which we will not.

To this I would also take the opportunity to ask about the canonization of Patriarch Anthimos III (1822–1824), who was a Confessor and of blameless life, an uncompromisingly Orthodox Patriarch. Therefore I humbly beseech you, as the least member of the Church, to bring his file up to date and for consideration in favor of his canonization.

H) Regarding the Esphigmenou (Esphigmenites) under Methodios — as to their perceptions and methods I disagree; indeed, recently the Abbot of the Holy Monastery denied even the sanctity of the Venerable Elder Paisios — however, and forgive me, I much more disagree with sending the police against them, flogging them, and isolating them into decay and exhaustion. Nor do I agree with police rule and policing on Mount Athos, nor with the appointment of the present commander about whom we are informed that he was a former head of the National Intelligence Service (E.Y.P.). As you understand, all of this insults and cruelly degrades the unique polity [of Mount Athos]. Certainly the place must be protected from profane and threatening elements, but in no case in this manner. I realize there are issues, and indeed serious ones, regarding the Russian element and its influences on the basis of Slavic internationalism (we know well that the Russians covet Jerusalem, Mount Athos and the Patriarchate); but that does not mean that because of these things we should crush Greek Orthodox monasticism. It is a fact that they have “planted” many “embassies” in various places and exert influence, but the solution will be given in another way, not this one; and frankly, all this reality and truth, forgive me to say, does not forgive the recognition of the former schismatics in Ukraine. Saint Anthimos the III, the Great, as the late Georgios Lampakis called him, and whose canonization I hereby request, never lowered the banner of Orthodox Faith and Tradition before any worldly power and authority; this he endured in prison, torture and exile. I sincerely and modestly pray that we may be joined to him!

I) The mark has already begun, as you possibly know… the method is called isotopic marking and is carried out in the process of issuing the new electronic identity card: where, during the photographing of the face, a laser beam is emitted on the forehead which invisibly but scan-detectably inscribes into the barcode system the number of the beast, 666, as the unique identifying number in the worldly (apparently, based on the signs of the times and even in the ecclesiastical) authority. In other words, the cataloguing and numbering of man into the accursed Antichrist system is already taking place, as our holy ones, old and new, have warned, and which is said to be associated with the supercomputer of Brussels (artificial intelligence and modern information systems), whose initial letters paradoxically are B.E.A.S.T. (BEAST: THERION, Revelation ch.13 vv.17-18). Yet few shepherds have prevented the flock from this most certain and irreversible slaughter and destruction.

P.S. Online information on isotopic marking: https://www.facebook.com/100014918025949/videos/650787960519946

What do you consider regarding all the above… will you take them up?

Forgive me to say that for this time it may be advantageous primarily for the Christian to confess, or even to suffer martyrdom, by the grace and power of God, for the day of our accounting before the Judge-Giver of the Contest of God and the life to come, who will be the only eternal and true one.

We await eagerly your response, for the times do not wait.

Let us perhaps all the fullness of the Church reflect upon to whom we have our defense on the fearful and most terrible day of Judgment.

You know with what spirit, how and why I write all this to you.

Choosing, I fervently wish the salvation and sanctification of the whole world, but as you know better than I, such is impossible without Orthodox Faith, Truth and life — without pain, toil, offering and sacrifice. The times do not wait and the hour of death is uncertain, and may it be that this hour becomes an hour that leads to the Resurrection, to eternal Life, to Salvation and the sanctification of the whole world. Amen, may it be so!

AND TO THE ONE TRIUNE GOD BE GLORY AND THANKSGIVING AND WORSHIP FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN!!!

Confession for Faith and Fatherland

WHY THE SLAVS ARE NOT TRUE FRIENDS OF ORTHODOX ELLENISM

Let the criminal assassination of Truth cease, no matter from whom it comes.

The Orthodox Greek city of Mariupol was destroyed neither by chance nor by war alone; it was deliberately ruined by the combined action of the West and the Slavs – the two faces of the same anti-Christ, Jewish-Zionist coin. From the beginning until today, their one and only real target and enemy has always been Orthodox Hellenism.

Below are the official documents and sources for anyone who places Truth above everything else. The rest do not interest us.

May you all study well, my brethren, all those who truly desire it.

P.S. My beloved brothers, did you happen to see today, on the feast of the First Ecumenical Synod, even the slightest mention of the Ellenic Fathers of that Synod on any Slavic, Slavophile, or Slavic-named website? Of course not. And it is in no way accidental. They mortally hate and slander Orthodox Ellenism. I have lived among them, I know them perfectly well – how they think and how they act. This is why they have thrown themselves unrestrainedly into a modern pseudo-theology that, unfortunately, has also infected us.

Know, my brothers, that there has never been, nor is there now, nor ever will be any human being who has expressed and formulated the divine dogmas and the divine teaching more clearly and more vividly than the Holy Apostles and the Holy Greek Fathers of the Church. Do not waste your time, my brothers, on novel and innovative nonsense. Instead, delve deeply into the works of St John Chrysostom (whose unsurpassed exegesis covers the whole of Sacred Scripture) and of all the ancient Fathers. It is a great sin and an even greater delusion that we have marginalised our holy Fathers and now waste our precious time on sweet, hospital-like broths that only prolong the deadly diseases that have overtaken us. The clearest proof of this is the wretched state in which we find ourselves today.

May the epidemic of the Holy Spirit come soon, my good brothers!

From all the above we make one sole exception: the great Orthodox Russian saints (St Paisios Velichkovsky, St Alexander Nevsky, St Sergius of Radonezh, St Seraphim of Sarov, and many others). They not only always honoured Orthodox Hellenism and the Greek Fathers, but even commanded their fellow countrymen to do the same, openly declaring that they received the light of the Faith from the Orthodox Greek Fathers. Those, however, who later succumbed or consciously cooperated with Slavic nationalism did not listen to their saints. The result is that even today they covet Mount Athos, the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and the Holy Places.

The Holy Orthodox Greek Monastery of St Panteleimon on the Holy Mountain Confession for Faith and Fatherland

Never forget, you descendants of the once uncivilised and violent Rus’, that you received the light of the Faith from Orthodox Hellenism. Today you shine as Orthodox Russians with so many great and most-great saints and countless holy shrines. Never forget this!

That monk (the true spiritual elder of the monastery) was the real, canonical, essential abbot – not the one produced by human effort and invention. He was the one who inspired repentance and therefore redemption and the salvation of souls. Souls, not merely bodies, came to him. He knew perfectly well that because of our sins the Russians took the monastery, the Turks took Asia Minor and Constantinople, and if he were alive today he would see the Ecumenists and Masons – the antichrists – doing to the most holy Body of the Church what the Jews once did to the immaculate Body of the Lord.

When he read the life of St Mary of Egypt he saw in it the spiritual fornication of our age, which, however, by the grace of God and decisive repentance, became true preaching, incomprehensible wonders, sanctity, and teaching.

Who will dare contradict my humble soul? Who, being wicked, will raise a word against me? Who will dare show impiety toward what I say?

Here in Greece we say: “The cassock does not make the priest.” Gold, magnificent buildings, fine vestments, typika, and outward forms do not make the Faith.

Faith is truth, essence, humility, sacrifice, offering, love. Faith is the other person, not yourself. Faith is doing what you do not want to do, but you do it because you must – because it is the will of God. In faith you throw yourself aside and honour your brother. In faith you say not “I” but “God.” You place the whole world above yourself. In faith you cast ingratitude away; you lay your entire life at the Lord’s feet. In faith you are not at peace if you are saved while others are lost. You are not at peace if you live better off than others. You are not at peace when you grieve, betray, or sadden God. In faith you give no rights or justifications to yourself.

In faith you say: God suffered and was executed as a criminal – therefore be silent, whatever you suffer is just. For God – the only Holy One who created heaven and earth – in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ endured all this for you.

Do you know what crucifixion means? Scourging, mockery, imprisonment, stripping naked, nailing of the limbs to the wood… for whom? For the sinless God. And you – what are you?

Do you know what the priesthood you bear means? Do you know what the monastic schema you wear means? Do you know what the holy Mysteries, the Church, and most holy Orthodoxy mean?

This is our Lord – crucified.

Away with affectations, false smiles, passionate impassivity, guilty silence, and unacceptable lies.

Humble yourselves. Stand now, from this moment, before the most fearful and dread Judgment Seat of our holy Lord, God, and Saviour Jesus Christ – as though you have no defence on the Day of Judgment!

T H I S I S F A I T H !

If you agree, become faithful now. Become true now. Become O R T H O D O X now.

We continue…

When the Russians came in great numbers to the Holy Mountain they also brought their own customs and way of life. The hesychastic character of the Holy Mountain began to change with the massive arrivals, the building projects, and the particular social and communal spirit of that people. Had the godless Bolshevik revolution not intervened, not only St Panteleimon’s monastery but the entire Holy Mountain would today be called Russian.

But God did not allow that plan to succeed.

Everything I write is supported by indisputable historical sources (among others, the study by the educator Konstantinidis, copies of which were kept in the library of Manouil Gedeon, as well as other studies and testimonies preserved on the Holy Mountain and in more recent publications).

Today the Russians wish to take over the so-called Ecumenical Patriarchate, claiming that the Patriarch is a hostage of the Turks, of Ecumenism, and of the Zionist-Masonic West. They are not far from the truth in some of these accusations, yet they themselves are not in the truth.

They point out whatever suits them and hide or reject whatever does not.

Apart from the uncanonical elevation of Moscow to a patriarchate (which then triggered a whole series of equally uncanonical patriarchates in the Balkans and elsewhere), they have other serious issues:

• Russian patriarchs wear the white omophorion (a Latin usage later imitated by some other Orthodox primates in northern Europe).
• The Institution of Patriarchates is Apostolic and was originally five in number; the Church should have remained with those five ancient, Senior Patriarchates linked to the Apostles and their immediate disciples.
• In all the ancient Patriarchates there has always been a Ellenic Orthodox Patriarch.
• The Holy Mountain has from the beginning belonged to Orthodox Ellenism.
• The Holy Shrines in the Holy Land have always belonged to the Ellenic Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre.
• The Gospels, Acts, and Apostolic Constitutions were written in Ellenic (except St Matthew’s Gospel, which was first written in Aramaic and immediately translated into Ellenic).

All this is not accidental – it is the will of God.

Yet the Russians, with a spirit of rebellion, oppose precisely this divine will. This is their lack of faith and their deviation: they desire to replace Orthodox Hellenism with Orthodox Russianism. That is why they want the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Holy Mountain, and the shrines in the Holy Land.

We do not hate the Russian people – we love them; they are our brothers in Christ. We only wish they loved us as we love them. We call them to lay down the white omophorion and the patriarchal title (as well as other titles that belong exclusively to the ancient patriarchates), to honour their own great saints who always urged them to respect and honour Orthodox Hellenism, and to cease saying and doing what they now say and do.

Do not think, beloved Russian brothers, that because worldly vultures have fallen upon the corpse of secular Hellenism the Church is therefore in danger. Have you not heard the Lord’s words: “The gates of Hades shall not prevail against it”? When He took His Church away from the unbelieving Jews, He gave it to “a nation producing its fruits” – in the singular, meaning the Greek nation.

Leave aside, therefore, your bad opinion. Show the humility that is fitting, correct your life and your ecclesiastical understanding, and return to the path shown by your own saints.

The Church endured 150 years of Arianism, 100 years of Iconoclasm, and 300 early years overrun by heresies, and now she stands in the midst of the pan-heresy of Ecumenism. Yet the word of the Lord remains unbroken: “The gates of Hades shall not prevail against her!”

The Lord gave His Church to Orthodox Hellenism – to Orthodox Hellenism throughout the world. This is His will, and so He does.

In the end a true, canonical Eighth Ecumenical Council will be convened, the heretics will be removed, and good order will be restored – after the great war, by the hand of the great saint and emperor John III Vatatzes, whom the Lord will raise up for this purpose.

Until then: may the ancient patriarchates always have Greek patriarchs, the Holy Mountain always remain Greek Orthodox, and the Holy Land shrines always remain under the Greek Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre.

I have offered you a rich spiritual meal. There is no valid rebuttal to what I have written.

If you are lovers of truth – more than of persons, ideologies, or agendas – answer openly and honestly, not with copied texts, but with living words.

Christ is risen, my brothers! May every antichrist become a footstool beneath the feet of the Lord. Amen.

The Patriarch Is Dangerous

By Archpriest Fr. Ioannis K. Diotis, Theologian-Journalist, Author-Publisher, as honored by the Academy of Athens

Lamentation, mourning, and great sorrow. The Ecumenical Patriarch of the Orthodox Catholic Church, Fr. Bartholomew, has in essence joined the all-heretical Papism. With all the anti-Orthodox actions he continues to commit, and especially with the abhorrent events that took place in our days in Nicaea and during the so-called Throne Feast of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Patriarch presents the Pope as his superior. He constantly placed the Pope at his right hand, and in his addresses, he regarded the Pope as the canonical Bishop of Rome. Moreover, during the Patriarchal Liturgy, the Pope was commemorated as the "Most Holy Bishop of Rome."

In the past as well, when the then-Pope visited Lesbos to appear as a global philanthropist through his courtesies toward foreign refugees and migrants, Patriarch Fr. Bartholomew and Archbishop of Athens Fr. Hieronymos accompanied the Pope honorifically as his extras, with international publicity.

The Patriarch is extremely dangerous and must be deposed or declared fallen as soon as possible, because he disrupts pan-Orthodox unity while striving for a false unity with the Antichrist Papism. With the pseudo-holy Synod of Crete (June 2016) and his granting of pseudo-autocephaly to his personal pseudo-church in Kyiv from deposed, unordained, self-ordained, anathematized, and schismatic individuals, he has created many schisms throughout Orthodoxy. Now, additional schisms will be added due to what happened in Nicaea and in the Patriarchal Church, if the despiser of Orthodoxy, Fr. Bartholomew, remains in his position.

Despite the brainwashing of public opinion carried out by disreputable media outlets, reactions continue for the preservation of our Faith. Mr. Ilias D. Kallioras, PhD, Professor of International Relations, Author, and former MP for Phthiotis, described the recent unacceptable events mentioned above as "foul, heretical, and horrific."

To the great shame and striking condemnation of Patriarch Fr. Bartholomew, I quote one of the many characterizations of Papism by our Holy Father Nektarios, Bishop of Pentapolis the Wonderworker: "The Popes became the evil demons of the Eastern Church and of the Greek Nation."

METROPOLITAN AMBROSIOS OF KALAVRYTA & AIGIALEIA: FULL BIOGRAPHY, CONFESSIONS & STRUGGLES (1938-2025) – 45,000 WORDS

INTRODUCTION: THE BIRTH OF A CONFESSOR On July 22, 1938, at 112 Acharnon Street in Athens, Athanasios Lenis is born, son of Georgios Lenis (farmer from Aigialeia) and Eleni née Papadopoulou. The family lives in poverty, with the father working as a laborer and the mother raising five children with prayer and fasting. From age 5, little Athanasios accompanies his grandmother to the Church of St. Nicholas Kopanon, learning the first troparia. In 1944, during the Occupation, the family moves to Aigialeia, where Athanasios experiences hunger and resistance. At school, he excels in intelligence but also discipline – punished when defending a classmate from a teacher's injustice. In 1950, at age 12, he decides to become a priest after a vision of the Virgin in his sleep: “You will be my soldier.” From then on, he reads the Psalter daily and fasts Wednesday-Friday.

In 1961, ordained deacon by Metropolitan Theoklitos of Kalavryta, taking the name Ambrosios. In 1963, ordained presbyter and appointed parish priest at St. George Aigio. There he founds a catechism with 300 children, organizes missions to villages, builds chapels. In 1965, with the Lifting of Anathemas, he writes the first open letter: “This is not reconciliation, it is betrayal.” The letter is published in “Orthodox Typos” and causes uproar.

ΜΗΤΡΟΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ ΑΜΒΡΟΣΙΟΣ ΚΑΛΑΒΡΥΤΩΝ & ΑΙΓΙΑΛΕΙΑΣ: ΠΛΗΡΗΣ ΒΙΟΓΡΑΦΙΑ, ΟΜΟΛΟΓΙΕΣ & ΑΓΩΝΕΣ (1938-2025)

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ: Η ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗ ΕΝΟΣ ΟΜΟΛΟΓΗΤΗ Στις 22 Ιουλίου 1938, στην οδό Αχαρνών 112 της Αθήνας, γεννιέται ο Αθανάσιος Λενής, γιος του Γεωργίου Λενή (αγρότη από την Αιγιάλεια) και της Ελένης το γένος Παπαδοπούλου. Η οικογένεια ζει σε συνθήκες φτώχειας, με τον πατέρα να εργάζεται ως εργάτης και τη μητέρα να μεγαλώνει τα πέντε παιδιά με προσευχή και νηστεία. Από τα 5 του χρόνια, ο μικρός Αθανάσιος συνοδεύει τη γιαγιά του στον Ιερό Ναό Αγίου Νικολάου Κοπάνων, όπου μαθαίνει τα πρώτα τροπάρια. Το 1944, κατά την Κατοχή, η οικογένεια μετακομίζει στην Αιγιάλεια, όπου ο Αθανάσιος βιώνει την πείνα και την αντίσταση. Στο σχολείο διακρίνεται για την ευφυΐα του, αλλά και για την πειθαρχία του – τιμωρείται όταν υπερασπίζεται συμμαθητή από αδικία δασκάλου. Το 1950, σε ηλικία 12 ετών, αποφασίζει να γίνει ιερέας μετά από όραμα της Παναγίας στον ύπνο του: «Θα γίνεις στρατιώτης μου». Από τότε, διαβάζει καθημερινά το Ψαλτήρι και νηστεύει Τετάρτη-Παρασκευή.

ΣΠΟΥΔΕΣ & ΠΡΩΤΗ ΔΙΑΚΟΝΙΑ (1956-1963) Το 1956 εισάγεται στη Θεολογική Σχολή Αθηνών με άριστα. Σπουδάζει Πατρολογία, Δογματική, Κανονικό Δίκαιο. Εργάζεται ταυτόχρονα ως ψάλτης στον Άγιο Σπυρίδωνα Πειραιώς. Το 1958 γνωρίζει τον Άγιο Νικόλαο Πλανά, ο οποίος τον ευλογεί: «Θα γίνεις επίσκοπος και θα πολεμήσεις για την Ορθοδοξία». Το 1960 γράφει την πρώτη του εργασία: «Η Άρση των Αναθεμάτων του 1965 ως Προδοσία της Παραδόσεως» – προφητική για τα μετέπειτα. Το 1961 χειροτονείται διάκονος από τον Μητροπολίτη Καλαβρύτων Θεόκλητο, λαμβάνοντας το όνομα Αμβρόσιος. Το 1963 χειροτονείται πρεσβύτερος και διορίζεται εφημέριος στον Ιερό Ναό Αγίου Γεωργίου Αιγίου.

PAPHOU TYCHIKOS

CONFESSION IN FAVOR OF FAITH AND THE HOMELAND

SHAME ON US AND DISGRACE TO US!!!

THE MOST ORTHODOX METROPOLITAN OF PAPHOS TYCHIKOS, DEPOSED IN AN ANTI-ECCLESIASTICAL AND ANTI-ORTHODOX MANNER

AXIOS!!!

RELATED TO THE DEPOSITION OF SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS

HERETICS DO NOT HAVE BAPTISM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SACRAMENT OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH.

ANOINTING A HERETIC IS UNCANONICAL BECAUSE IT CONFLICTS WITH THE SACRED TRADITION OF OUR CHURCH, BECAUSE YES, THEY WERE BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY TRINITY BUT BY HERETICS WHO, BASED ON THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE FAITH, HAVE NEITHER PRIESTHOOD NOR SACRAMENTS, THEREFORE BAPTISM IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY TRINITY BY HERETICS IS INVALID.

FOR THESE HERETICS, THEN... WHAT DID WE DO?.. WE DEPOSED OUR ORTHODOX HIERARCH, SO AS NOT TO SPOIL THE INFECTIOUS SOUP OF THE ECUMENICAL PAN-HERESY.

OIKONOMIA IN THIS MATTER IS ALWAYS ABUSIVE AND OUTSIDE SACRED TRADITION, IT CONCERNS SPECIFIC AND ISOLATED HISTORICAL CASES, UNDER SPECIAL CONDITIONS, BUT STILL DOES NOT NEGATE THE ESSENCE, ALL THAT THE LORD AND THE HOLY APOSTLES DELIVERED TO US AND THE HOLY AND GOD-BEARING FATHERS OF THE FAITH CLARIFIED WITH ABSOLUTE CLARITY, LEAVING NO ROOM WHATSOEVER FOR MISINTERPRETATION OR ERRONEOUS PERCEPTION OR ACTION. AND FURTHERMORE, "OIKONOMIA" NEVER CONSTITUTES A RULE OR CUSTOM IN THE HOLY CHURCH.

FURTHERMORE...

MIXED MARRIAGES ARE BOTH UNCANONICAL AND INVALID AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A HOLY SACRAMENT AND SACRAMENTAL COMMUNION WITHIN THE BOSOM OF THE MOTHER CHURCH, THEY ARE NOT FORGIVEN, NOR JUSTIFIED OR LEGITIMIZED BY THE RELEVANT "PRAYER" IN THE EUCHOLOGION.

MARRIAGE IS A SACRAMENT IN THE HOLY CHURCH... AND ALL THE HOLY SACRAMENTS OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH ARE PERFORMED WITH VALIDITY AND CANONICITY EXCLUSIVELY AND ONLY FOR ITS MEMBERS, THAT IS, ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS.

NO HERETIC, HETERODOX, NON-ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN IS ALLOWED FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER TO PARTICIPATE IN AND RECEIVE THE HOLY SACRAMENTS BASED ON THE APOSTOLIC CONSTITUTIONS, THE CANONS, AND THE DECISIONS OF THE HOLY SEVEN ECUMENICAL COUNCILS.

THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT SACRAMENTALLY BLESS NON-ORTHODOX, BECAUSE HOLY SACRAMENTS EXIST ONLY IN THE ONE HOLY CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC, EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH SO CALLED.

OF COURSE, THE HOLY SPIRIT BLOWS WHERE IT WILLS AND AS IT WILLS AND DECIDES TO ACT... BUT SACRAMENTALLY IT ACTS ONLY WITHIN THE BOSOM OF THE MOTHER CHURCH... WITH THE ABSOLUTE UNANIMOUS AND CONCORDANT OPINION OF ALL THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE FAITH.

AND THIS SIMPLY AND PRACTICALLY MEANS THAT NO NON-ORTHODOX CAN STAND AND PARTICIPATE IN ANY HOLY SACRAMENT OF OUR CHURCH EXCEPT THE INTRODUCTORY ONE, WHICH IS HOLY BAPTISM, PROVIDED THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY DESIRE TO ENTER THE BOSOM OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH, AFTER HAVING BEEN SUFFICIENTLY CATECHIZED AND IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED-CERTIFIED THAT THEIR CONSCIOUS, UNFORCED, AND ABSOLUTELY FREE APPROACH TO HOLY ORTHODOXY... FROM THEN ON, AS AN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN AND PROVIDED THERE IS NO SPIRITUAL IMPEDIMENT, THEY CAN PARTICIPATE AND SHARE IN ALL THE HOLY SACRAMENTS OF THE CHURCH CANONICALLY.

THEREFORE... NOW... AT THIS POINT... HARD QUESTIONS ARISE...

WAS SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS TARGETED BY THE NEW AGE FOR THE PURITY OF HIS ORTHODOX FAITH AND HIS ORTHODOX MINDSET... AND DID HE NOW CONSTITUTE A "THORN" IN THE ECUMENIST KICKS?

OF COURSE, ALL THE ABOVE CONCERN ONLY THOSE WHO CHOOSE THE TRUTH BASED ON THEIR CHRISTIAN OR EVEN PRIESTLY CONSCIENCE... FOR ALL OTHERS, INDIFFERENT...

BECAUSE MANY WILL RUSH FOOLISHLY AS OBJECTORS OR CONTRADICTORS... STUDY FIRST, WHEN THE LORD WAS BAPTIZING WITH HIS DISCIPLES, COMMANDING IN THIS WAY THE ABSOLUTE CANONICITY, NECESSITY, AND CORRECTNESS OF HOLY BAPTISM...

SO WHAT WOULD WE SAY... THAT SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS REFUSED TO RECEIVE THE HONORABLE HEAD OF SAINT APOSTLE PAUL???...

ALAS... AWAY WITH THE BLASPHEMY!!!... BUT AS ONE HAVING ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PAPAL "WEASEL"... WHICH UNDER THE PRETEXT OF HOLINESS AND PIETY-REVERENCE... INSULTS BOTH THESE VIRTUES... TAKING MORE AND MORE SPACE AT THE EXPENSE OF ORTHODOXY... HE REFUSED NOT THE HONOR TO THE HOLY HEAD... BUT THE UNCANONICAL AND ANTI-ORTHODOX CONSENT AND PARTICIPATION IN THE RELATED HERETICAL PAPAL FIESTA... ECCLESIASTICAL COMMUNION AND CO-PRAYER WITH THE HERETICAL PAPO-LATINS... CONDEMNED BY THE EIGHTH AND NINTH SYNOD OF CONSTANTINOPLE... AND WHO CONSTANTLY EXERCISE AGAINST ORTHODOXY AND IN FAVOR OF ECUMENISM... ALL THE RELATED UNLAWFUL AND UNGODLY MEANS... SINCE FOR THEM... THE END "SANCTIFIES"...

BUT WE KNOW FROM THE SAINTS OF THE FAITH THAT SIN IS NOT SANCTIFIED, AS WE ALSO KNOW THE HORRIFIC CANONS OF THE HOLY APOSTLES AND THE HOLY ECUMENICAL COUNCILS AGAINST ANY ECCLESIASTICAL COMMUNION WITH HERETICS!!!

SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS FOLLOWED SAINT AIGIALEIAS... BOTH WERE CAST OUT, WHY? BECAUSE THEY BECAME HONORABLE CONFESSORS AND WITNESSES OF THE TRUTH... AGAINST THIS ANTICHRIST LAWLESS AND CORRUPT AGE...

FROM THE WEST... MANY EVILS COME...

WE HAVE... FIRST, THE SLANDER AND DEFAMATION... THE UNJUST AND ARBITRARY REMOVAL OF A PURELY ORTHODOX HIERARCH, ARCHBISHOP OF AMERICA DEMETRIOS... SO THAT THE CURRENT ONE COULD TAKE OVER THE ARCHDIOCESE OF AMERICA, WHOSE TREE WE RECOGNIZED FROM ITS FRUITS... FRUITS OF NEW ORDER ARBITRARY AND HERETICAL...

WE HAVE EVEN A LITTLE EARLIER THE CRUEL PERSECUTION AND ABDUCTION OF THE BLESSED (SAINT)... EPHRAIM OF ARIZONA... FROM THE SAME BROADER WESTERN ENVIRONMENT...

(THE GREEK-AMERICAN SECULAR "LOBBY" AND ITS PARTNERS)...

AND NOW... WE HAVE... A NEW PROFESSOR FROM AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, WHO WANTED TO BRING THE CHURCH DOWN TO HIS LEVEL, "TAKING THE COFIN MEASURES"... OF SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS AND MOBILIZING IN A SECULAR WAY AND PERCEPTION EVERY COMPETENT AND INCOMPETENT... TO ACHIEVE HIS UNLAWFUL PURPOSE... THAT IS, TO HUMILIATE THE VENERABLE HIERARCH... WHO DID NOT CONSENT TO HIS UNCANONICAL DEMANDS... (THE PROFESSOR WAS OFFENDED...) THE MINDLESS ARROGANT AND ALOFT, WITHOUT HOLY AND SACRED, AND ABSOLUTELY NAKED OF DIVINE FEAR AND SENSITIVITY...

AND FOR ALL THESE WORLDLY SECULARIZERS... FOR THE SECULAR FEAR AND NOT THE DIVINE, FOR THE FEAR OF THE "POWERFUL" OF THIS EARTH AND NOT OF THE "POWERFUL" OF HEAVEN... WE DEPOSED THE HOLY HIERARCH...

SOMEONE WROTE... IT IS NOT DEPOSITION... YES! IT IS NOT DEPOSITION FROM THE ARCHIEPISCOPAL OFFICE... BUT IT IS DEPOSITION FROM THE METROPOLIS, SINCE NOW SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS HAS NEITHER HIS DIOCESE NOR ANOTHER DIOCESE...

CANONICALLY AND GRAMMATICALLY SPEAKING... WHAT DOES DEPOSE MEAN?... I CUT OFF... I PRUNE... THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS... AND SAINT TYCHIKOS OF PAPHOS... WAS CUT OFF... PRUNED FROM HIS DIOCESE... WITH A TRIAL... UNJUST... !!!

MEN... CONDEMNED... GOD... ACQUITTED... NOT ONLY ACQUITTED BUT WILL ALSO RESTORE HIM TRIUMPHANTLY... TO THE SHAME OF THIS ABOMINABLE ANTICHRIST AND LAWLESS AGE AND TO THE GLORY OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH...

ONCE THEY IMPRISONED SAINT NICHOLAS FOR A SLAP HE RIGHTLY GAVE... AND GOD HIMSELF AND THE ALL-HOLY MOTHER WENT AND RESTORED HIM...

AND NOW THEY WILL NOT INTERVENE AGAIN(? I ASK) FOR THEIR SON TYCHIKOS AND ESPECIALLY... FOR THE UNJUST "SLAP" HE RECEIVED... BY THE HANDS OF LAWLESS ONES???...

SUCH A THING IS BEYOND CERTAIN!!!

ONE MUST OBEY GOD RATHER THAN MEN... SAID SAINT APOSTLE PETER... BUT THESE FOR THE CONTEMPORARY... NEW AGE AND NEW ORDER ARE NOT EVEN FINE... LETTERS...

THE HAND THAT STRUCK THE CHURCH... WITHERED... SAID THE BLESSED CHRISTODOULOS... AND CHURCH OF COURSE IS... HOLY ORTHODOXY...

AND SINCE MANY HANDS ARE ABOUT TO WITHER... HASTEN THEN HOLY FATHERS AND BROTHERS TO RESTORE THE INNOCENT HIERARCH...

IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE FOR THE CLERGY AND THE PEOPLE TO DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE RESTORATION OF THE ORTHODOX HIERARCH...

FOR THE INSULTERS AND SLANDERERS OF TYCHIKOS AND THOSE WHO WANT THE CHURCH TO BE IN THEIR "LOGICAL" WORLDLY AND SECULAR MEASURES... I CHOOSE... THAT THEY ACT LIKE THOSE LAWLESS ONES WHO LAID AND IMPOSED THEIR FILTHY AND ABOMINABLE HANDS ON THE LORD... IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE...

LET US NOT FORGET THEN THAT ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT WE WILL ALL FIND OURSELVES NAKED AND SHIVERING BEFORE THE JUDGE LORD AND GOD AND SAVIOR OUR JESUS CHRIST...

THEN NEITHER GLOBALIZATION NOR ECUMENISM NOR "HIGH" CONNECTIONS WILL SAVE US, BUT ONLY THE PURE CHRISTIAN OR EVEN PRIESTLY CONSCIENCE...

IN CONFIRMATION OF ALL THE ABOVE... AND SOME... MANY...

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CONFESSION OF METROPOLITAN (FORMER) OF PAPHOS TYCHIKOS

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CONFESSION OF METROPOLITAN (FORMER) OF PAPHOS TYCHIKOS

June 18, 2025

Because throughout the previous period up to now, various unsubstantiated claims are circulating about my alleged avoidance to submit a Confession of Faith, or about an alleged deviation in my course, I deem it appropriate to clarify the following to restore the truth.

1. I considered the drafting of the Confession of Faith unnecessary from the beginning, as I align with what I confessed on the day of my ordination, I have not ceased to align and will not cease, and clearly I have not adhered to any error or heresy (far from it!), so as to submit a new confession for alleged reintegration into the Orthodox Church. From my youth, I live and breathe within the Church, with unshakable faith in the Triadic God, in the all-venerable Person of our Lord Jesus Christ and His All-Holy Mother, faith based on Holy Scripture, the Sacred Tradition of the Orthodox Church, the Holy Canons, and the teaching of our Holy Fathers. Therefore, in accordance with the prerequisites of these, I certainly follow, respect, and obey the decisions of the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus.

2. After much prayer and thought, I decided to submit the appeal to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, in accordance with the Statutory Charter, as I consider the accusations unsubstantiated and false, but especially the procedure that was (not) followed, renders the decision uncanonical and unconstitutional. The entire development tramples on every notion of respect for the Archiepiscopal Office, but also for fundamental human rights. Of course, I could resort to secular courts. However, following the exhortation of Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 6:1), I chose to resolve the issues within our Church, initially addressing the Ecumenical Patriarchate, trusting that such an unjust procedure and decision cannot be accepted.

3. For reasons of avoiding scandal regarding possible disobedience to the Holy Synod, and to refute every slander against me about alleged walling-off or about a person who encourages and covers up laypeople or clergy to cease the commemoration of their Bishops, I prepared a Confession of Faith before the final decision to submit the appeal, as it was requested in the synodal communiqué of May 22. I always intended to submit it, as I had informed the Beatitude Archbishop of Cyprus H.H. Georgios in our meeting on Friday, May 30.

4. I declare again and repeatedly, explicitly and categorically, that all the accusations do not hold but collapse like a house of cards, and specifically for the accusation of walling-off that is much discussed, indicatively I will mention five cases:

a) August 2023: I placed in suspension a priest of the Metropolis of Paphos who proceeded to walling-off, and finally the competent ecclesiastical court of the Holy Synod proceeded to his defrocking.

b) February 13, 2024: As Metropolitan of Paphos, I disseminated the announcement of the Holy Synod and drew attention to the "Athonite elder Savvas Lavriotis".

c) May 23, 2024: I issued an announcement, after communication with the Holy Monastery of Xanthi, about the self-proclaimed "elder Anna", who was touring the metropolis of Paphos without canonical permission and giving talks in homes.

d) May 10, 2025: I informed in writing the priests of the Metropolis of Paphos about archimandrites who do not have blessing to officiate, as they do not belong to any local Church and do not recognize any orthodox bishop.

e) Regarding the recent "Thessaloniki case", the multi-child priest with origin from Agia Marina Paphos was ordained to serve permanently the Metropolis of Paphos. He was appointed to a large community as parish priest for a long period and always commemorated my name as metropolitan in the holy services he performed in Paphos. For the completion of a postgraduate program, he was granted a license for free officiating, as I also received during my studies in London from the then Metropolitan of Paphos and current Beatitude H.H. Georgios. It was not possible for me to have responsibility or knowledge of his actions outside the boundaries of my Metropolis.

5. Although due to the appeal we are all now awaiting developments in the Ecumenical Patriarchate, however, I submit to the Holy Synod and make public the Confession of Faith that was requested of me. For this reason, I call on the Beatitude, the Synodal Hierarchs, and the faithful People of God, regarding my case, not to rush ahead and to spend the time with prayer and calm.

Note: Because I no longer have access to the correspondence concerning me that is sent to the Holy Metropolis of Paphos, those who wish to communicate with me, please do so exclusively via the email address: mitr.tychikos@outlook.com.

Paphos, 18.06.2025

CONFESSION OF FAITH

I believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one essence with the Father, through whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And rose on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. And he will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke through the prophets. In one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

In addition to these, I accept and receive the holy seven Ecumenical Councils and the Local ones, which they accepted and ratified for the preservation of the orthodox doctrines of the Church assembled. I confess all the definitions of the true faith set forth by them, as guided by the illuminating grace of the All-Holy Spirit, and the Holy Canons, which those blessed ones composed and delivered to the Church according to the apostolic traditions and the meaning of the evangelical divine teaching for the adornment of the Holy Church of Christ and the good order of morals, I embrace and will direct according to them the ministry allotted to me by divine will and according to them I will continue teaching the chosen people of the Lord.

Moreover, I confess foremost to preserve the unity of the faith in the bond of peace, all that the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of the Orthodox professes and dogmatizes, these I also profess and believe, adding nothing, subtracting nothing, changing nothing neither of the dogmas nor of the traditions, but adhering to these and teaching and preaching them with fear of God and good conscience, and all that it condemns as heterodoxies and rejects, these I also reject and cast away forever. (1)

(1) Up to here from the Archieraticon, (ed.) Apostolic Diakonia of the Church of Greece, Athens 1999, pp. 110-112.

I confess that I remain immovable within the safe walls of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, as these were defined and diachronically built by the God-bearing Fathers of the Orthodox Church, having full knowledge that schism constitutes the greatest evil in the Church, which neither the blood of martyrdom of the schismatic or of the one leading others to schism can heal.

Likewise, I have full knowledge that, in accordance with both the spirit of the 31st Apostolic Canon, which received ecumenical validity, and the 15th Canon of the First-Second holy Synod in Constantinople (year of salvation 861) under Saint and Great Photios, which is included in the corpus canonum of our Orthodox Church, summarizes the previous Canons 13 and 14, "The provisions concerning presbyters and bishops and metropolitans apply even more to patriarchs. So that, if any presbyter or bishop or metropolitan dares to withdraw from communion with his own patriarch and does not mention his name, as defined and ordained, in the divine mystagogy, but before a synodal manifestation and complete condemnation of him makes a schism, the holy synod has decreed that he be completely alien to all priesthood, if only he is convicted of this transgression. And these have been sealed and defined concerning those who under pretext of certain crimes withdraw from their own presidents and create schism and disrupt the unity of the Church. For those who on account of some heresy condemned by holy Synods or Fathers separate themselves from communion with their president, that is, because he publicly preaches heresy and with bare head teaches it in the church, such persons not only are not subject to canonical censure for walling themselves off from communion with the so-called bishop before synodal clarification, but also shall be deemed worthy of the honor appropriate to the orthodox. For they have condemned not bishops, but pseudo-bishops and pseudo-teachers, and they have not cut the unity of the church with schism, but have endeavored to deliver the church from schisms and divisions."

I have knowledge that this canon gives the right to a cleric or bishop (which it defines as praiseworthy walling-off), to cease the commemoration of his ecclesiastical authority (however not to commemorate another bishop or ecclesiastical authority), as long as his own bishop preaches publicly and with bare head in church a heresy condemned by the holy Synods or by the Holy Fathers. The exercise of this right before synodal judgment about a bishop preaching heresy presupposes discernment and divine illumination. Insofar as, if this is done under unbridled zealotry, and without the prerequisites provided by the above holy Canons existing, it is possible to lead to schism, which, as easily as it is created, is as difficult to cease.

I make known therefore that I never examined by myself the possibility of ceasing commemoration, and for this reason I co-celebrated until now with the Archbishop of Cyprus, as well as the other Synodal Hierarchs, and I always commemorated the name of the Beatitude Archbishop of Cyprus in the holy Services and Divine Liturgies, which I performed. Furthermore, I never covered up any walled-off person, nor encouraged a cleric or layperson to apply walling-off.

I confess that I condemn ecclesiastically and irrevocably as schismatics, according to the divine and holy Canons, those who under the pretext of walling-off, possessed by a spirit of love of power and "under pretext of certain crimes of their own superior" or "for ecclesiastical matters that are curable", according to the God-illumined Great Basil, separate themselves from the common nourisher and savior Orthodox Church in the East of all of us. Equally I condemn all those anathematized by the Church synodically or by the unanimous opinion of the divine Fathers through the ages as heretics; "a heretic is and is subject to the laws against heretics whoever deviates even a little from the Orthodox Faith", according to the orthodox ecclesiology imprinted in Photios' Nomocanon.

I confess that I will obey willingly, in accordance with the guidance and provisions of the divinely inspired Dogmas and Canons of our Catholic Holy Orthodox Church, to the decisions of the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus.

Sealing all the above and signing,

With brotherly love and respect in Christ

The Persecution of a Metropolitan and the Devaluation of Ecclesiastical Justice

"A monument of arbitrariness" the Synod's decision against Metropolitan of Paphos Tychikos

– Article by Dr. of Canon Law Eric Sergios

As a "monument" of arbitrariness, abuse of power, violation of the Holy Canons and every principle of law, the decision of the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus for the "deposition" of Metropolitan of Paphos Tychikos will remain in history.

Reviewing the relevant sources, researchers will reasonably wonder about the unprecedented and unprecedented ecclesiastical crime. The highest Ecclesiastical Authority of Cyprus, which has the exclusive responsibility to ensure the observance, correct interpretation and application of the Statutory Charter, bypassed the institutionalized procedures provided by it and the Holy Canons and condemned without elementary evidence a member of it based on a fabricated indictment that has no canonical support.

It decided without hesitation the persecution of a Metropolitan from his throne, indifferent to the pastoral needs of the people who trusted him as their spiritual father and guide.

It acted with unprecedented severity towards one of its members, while at the same time remaining apathetic and tolerant of the arbitrary actions of the Locum Tenens of the Throne who proceeds to administrative acts in violation of the Statutory Charter and who has forbidden Metropolitan Tychikos to perform Divine Liturgies in his metropolitan district without ever having been placed in suspension by the Holy Synod.

And while all this is happening, silence covers everything! Let the truth be persecuted, let legality and justice be violated, let the intelligence of the faithful be underestimated. The guilt of those responsible arises not only from the prevailing silence and the fear to speak the truth, but also from their effort to justify their decision and convince that they acted correctly.

Even the platform of the conference organized by the Holy Archdiocese of Cyprus last June in honor of the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council was used by its organizers to indicate to the clergy and people of the archdiocesan district that they should feel grateful for the decision of the Holy Synod.

The best way to honor the Holy Fathers is not organizing conferences but keeping and applying their decisions!

Never before has any political or ecclesiastical authority in this place dared to challenge or bypass the institutionalized procedures in force in the Church to impose its will arbitrarily.

We refer briefly to four cases that stood out due to their criticality and importance for the Church.

During the period of the so-called Archiepiscopal Issue (1900-1909), even the English tyrants had respected the procedures followed by the Church, when they imposed a political law to restore order, as there was no Statutory Charter in force then. This law that provided for the filling of the archiepiscopal throne was drafted based on the canonical opinion of a senior cleric, Meletios Metaxakis, and the elections had been announced based on an encyclical of the Holy Synod.

In 1973, in the most painful ecclesiastical crisis this place has ever known, due to the tragic events that followed, Metropolitans of Paphos Gennadios, Kition Anthimos, and Kyrenia Kyprianos defrocked Archbishop Makarios III, on the grounds that his involvement in political affairs was incompatible with his archiepiscopal status. The three Metropolitans applied article 14 of the then Statutory Charter in force, which allowed the Holy Synod, which then consisted of 4 members, to impose the specific penalty, provided there was a unanimous decision among the three of them. It should be noted that with this specific provision, the Holy Canons were violated, which indicate that the accused Hierarch is tried by a Synodal Court consisting of at least 12 Hierarchs. Reacting, Archbishop Makarios III applied his right acquired from the Holy Canons, as President of the Holy Synod, to request the assistance of the four Orthodox Patriarchs of the East and the Church of Greece. Responding to his request, they sent representatives through whom a Greater and Extraordinary Synod was formed that met the required number needed to proceed to the defrocking of the three Metropolitans, judging their decision as uncanonical.

In 2000, when the Greater and Extraordinary Synod acquitted triumphantly Metropolitan of Limassol Athanasios from the accusations of moral deviations and revealed the plot woven against him - with instigators members of the Holy Synod and the assistance of false witnesses - it was considered a victory of the synodal system and the Holy Canons without the application of which justice would never have been served and the truth would never have been restored.

Regarding the way the late Archbishop Chrysostomos II (2006-2022) ascended to the throne, much has been said and written. Despite what happened behind the scenes and came to light (holy agreements, influencing electors, etc.), the procedure was legal and everything was done in compliance with the relevant provisions of the then Statutory Charter of 1979.

The above cases indicate to us the importance of the correct interpretation and application of the Holy Canons and the Statutory Charter for maintaining the unity of the faithful and the smooth functioning of the Church as a Theanthropic Organism in the world. On the contrary, every legal injustice, when committed by persons who must inspire respect, irreparably damages the prestige of the decisions of the Holy Synod and the credibility of its members (at least those who supported for their own reasons each the "deposition" of the Metropolitan of Paphos). Even if there were reasonable grounds for a member of the Synod to be tried, this should be done within the framework defined by the Statutory Charter. The bypassing of it alone and the way the decision was made creates even in the most well-intentioned the impression that it is a methodical effort that serves alien purposes and interests and in no case the interest of the Church and especially of the faithful of the metropolitan district of Paphos.

Oh the paradoxical miracle: When the Phanar recognizes the error but condemns the just: case of Tychikos!

Perhaps then yesterday's day will indeed remain in history, not as a day of wisdom, but as a day of ecclesiastical self-censorship. Photo: Nearchos Panagi

When the Phanar recognizes the error but condemns the just: case of Tychikos.

The mother church decided the most oxymoronic of the last 2000 years. Literally:

"During the examination of the file of the matter, omissions were found during the trial of the case of Metropolitan Tychikos in the Holy Synod of the Church of Cyprus", but....

It was finally recommended to the former Metropolitan of Paphos to obey the decisions of the Holy Synod of his Church and this for his own spiritual benefit and for the peace and unity of the Church.

It is certain that yesterday will be a pivotal point of reference... for the next millennia for the Orthodox church. I don't know if it will be celebrated festively or if it will be a day of fasting (mourning) but it certainly won't be forgotten. Laughter or tears it will surely bring though.

Perhaps then yesterday's day will remain in history — not as a day of wisdom, but as a day of ecclesiastical self-censorship.

Yes, the indictment was laughable, with canonical omissions, but also with the sit Bishop in your boiled and obey the injustice you suffered for the good and peace in the church. The Phanar essentially recognizes festively the omissions in the deposition of Metropolitan Tychikos and the malfeasance, but ratifies the decision and calls on him to obey – a paradox that reveals the crack between canonicity and diplomacy. In simple words: the Patriarchate admits that the procedure was uncanonical, but asks the aggrieved to accept it for the sake of... humility.

If this is not an institutional contradiction, then what is? Since when is obedience used as a cover for injustice?

Since when does obedience serve as a pretext to legitimize an injustice?

How to speak of peace, when peace is built on the silence of the unjustly condemned?

The case of Tychikos, however, is not personal. It is a symptom of a deeper problem: the transformation of ecclesiastical institutions from guardians of the faith into balancing mechanisms.

The stance of the Phanar sends a dangerous message: that ecclesiastical unity can be saved even by disregarding canonicity.

Obedience is indeed a virtue – when addressed to Christ and His truth.

However, when it turns into a pretext to legitimize an injustice, then it ceases to be obedience, it becomes complicity.

However, within the decision and behind the words hide meanings that the common mind, Georgios and those around him Hierarchs understand very well and know.

On the one hand is the non-acquittal of Tychikos through the malfeasance, which the Patriarchate initially recognized as some of us know (what changed along the way? let the one who understands understand) but on the other hand it nails Georgios and his team.... You didn't do it well, your indictment suffers from omissions, but what can be done (so as not to have problems with the church of Cyprus) we ratify your decision.

Essentially it exposes irreparably Georgios and his actions. Of course Georgios is not satisfied with the wording, since he would like the Phanar's decision to say only: we ratify the decision of the church of Cyprus!! Commonly if the Phanar's wording was in slang it would say to him:

The way you messed it up, what can we do for you, stay with the decision you made. Of course the reason is that within the patriarchate there were fierce reactions from hierarchs to the injustice that was committed, even after the circumscribed and gasping "unanimous" decision. Essentially Tychikos and those who supported him were vindicated. Completely irregular the procedure, which the Phanar admitted. This paper of the Patriarchate is very strong however for a possible future appeal to civil courts. And I am sure that even if it falls to an atheist judge, he himself will learn the ecclesiastical: "I wonder and am amazed.. "!!

It would be an omission to mention that in a radio interview last week Georgios stated that: "as locum tenens of the Metr. of Paphos who is himself it would not be right to make binding decisions for Paphos (in relation to a temple in the garden they want to build) but to wait for the elections for the election of a new metropolitan!!!". That is, before the Phanar convened he knew the decision! That Tychikos would not be vindicated and would not be restored. Do we need to say anything else?

This is one side of the coin of the decision. The other is that the Phanar itself was irreparably exposed with its Pontius Pilate attitude. It recognizes the omissions and malfeasance but does nothing. I wash my hands... And since it is easier to beat the saddle than the donkey, it beats the saddle. I don't want to offend anyone with this proverb but I couldn't find a more apt one.

As for the Cypriot hierarchs who advocated this malfeasance stood behind the word of the Archbishop, not because they believed, but because they were comfortable. Each for his reasons. And I suspect for some why..

The stance of Metropolitan Tychikos hurt him in the human part but according to the Phanar's decision about malfeasance he was vindicated. He was vindicated not by the ratification of Georgios' decision as investigator, accuser and judge (not even in Islam do these happen) but by the proof of malfeasance. In 3 hours they deposed him and the Phanar took 3 months and more to see what to say. The pressure was suffocating..

Without a trace of exaggeration and knowing the humble and forgiving character of Metr. Tychikos his story resembles that of Saint Nektarios. His father the Patriarch of Alexandria expelled him without evidence, slandered him, defamed him to the Archbishop of Athens etc but in the end whom does God and history know? Saint Nektarios and not the anonymous Patriarch of Alexandria.

And from what I know our archbishop celebrates and accepts Saint Nektarios.

Does he realize however that he took the place of the then Patriarch of Alexandria 140 years later?

Good illumination

ARTICLE FROM.. "TAS THYRAS.."

Evil seriously harms health…

Posted on October 27, 2025

On the occasion of the admission of the former Paphos Tychikos to the hospital with a "serious health problem", something is revealed to us that the Fathers of our Church know and record in many texts or speeches of theirs and is much said even in the divinely inspired texts of services and supplications to our Lord, the Theotokos and our Saints.

"The body is sick, my soul is also sick". So we know this and we see it again every day in front of us, in fact now the very advanced science has arrived gasping to confirm it.

What? That the disease of the body, every disease, has a direct relationship (both in causing it and in the possibility of curing it) with the person's mental state: the serenity, the calm, the love he has or does not have, that he receives or not, in this course of his in the world. In fact, the more sensitive in character and introverted someone is, the symptoms from the disease of the soul are more intense, painful and visible on him, either as sorrow, or as some autoimmune, or as cancer or heart disease or brain damage.

What our Fathers did not tell us so clearly and no one usually discusses, is the indisputable fact that the evil of some people can cause serious diseases up to death in others and especially in the defenseless, in the more sensitive and helpless of this harsh world. So we see in the case of Tychikos, evil in all its depth unfolding luciferianly with the mantle of the official decision of the synod of the Church of Cyprus and the Ecumenical Patriarchate and this evil causing serious disease in a simple, humble, sensitive and traditional hierarch who dared to think in his ministry that he can follow the Holy Fathers in his province at least. He did not suspect that his spiritual "father-monster" would react with such egoism and evil that he would reach the point of even deposition from the apostolic and archiepiscopal office of a hierarch who otherwise did no evil.

For what real reason was he persecuted, someone will tell us? Those inhabiting Jerusalem know well and others are silent washing hands and fearing their own persecution, others do not understand and wonder, others weaker in faith are scandalized, others are amazed at the audacity, the unfathomable depth of evil and consequently the persecution of Tychikos. And evil of course is not a negligible force: it is demonic energy and whoever bears it and exercises it cannot but be led and carried by demonic forces, while of course his consent and cooperation with the temptation of wealth, power, archomania, avarice and the delusion that someone alone, whatever office he has, can govern the Church as if it were his little shop, with commercial terms and street methods.

To all of us, priests, laymen, theologians, tholologists, ecologists, monks and unmonked and especially hierarchs who boast that they know the scriptures by heart and use verses in their speeches, we should remind that "God is love" (1 Jn. 4:16). And this is evangelical you know and perhaps the strongest and saving message of the Gospel. Our Lord IS love, he does not simply have love. So who is evil? Do I need to mention it? I don't even want to mention his name. With simple mathematics then to conclude that whoever exercises and embraces and agrees and is silent with the evil he sees in front of him, essentially cooperates and applauds the leader of evil.

To see how luciferian is all this handling of Tychikos by some, consider that in the name of love these are ready to embrace and walk with papists, protestants, mormons, evangelists and other heretics whose end will not be, but they cannot in the name of love forgive Tychikos nor accept him and walk with him, while he is an Orthodox Christian.. baptized and spirit-bearing.

And to close by posing a question to all those who condemned the former Paphos Tychikos and all those who agreed with his condemnation: if Tychikos from the much evil he received in his soul and body, as demonic and violent energy, does not endure and finally dies from a disease that however was caused by evil, will those who exercised violence and evil on him have some spiritual responsibility? Have they fallen into the sin of the criminal of murder either knowingly or out of ignorance? Will we preach murder only for abortions? Will the Church condemn only the murderers who are in prisons as killers who need repentance? And if some of them finally repent, before they leave this vain world, while they have killed Tychikos and every Tychikos, will it be considered that they are clean and blameless?

These are of God someone will say and I agree: the final judgment is His exclusive affair. However, I am not speaking about the final judgment and the classification of each in Paradise or in perdition, but about the classification of each of us in the conscience of the Church in this life and if possible in the restoration of truth to the extent of this life. Some obviously should not continue to pretend and behave as pure and infallible. The Pope started this (obviously it suited many in the course of ecclesiastical history) and today's accept it as a right intertwined with their priesthood and archpriesthood. With the consequence of course to have long lost the hope of their repentance. For how can someone repent, when he always considers correct what he does and does everything to prove he is right?

In conclusion, the case of the former Paphos Tychikos highlighted once again a spiritually deadly disease that exists within the body of the Church, which when connected with the office and high position turns into a lethal weapon that shatters the soul and spiritual existence while often sickens the body to death. Such a person within the Church is a murderer of the soul and the body, while our Christ is the physician of our soul and body (as explicitly mentioned in the Divine Liturgy)

Such attitudes and behaviors are found throughout ecclesiastical and human history, but today they are probably now the rule and not the exception. Let us turn to the innermost of our heart and fight evil within us. It is necessary to uproot this weed from within us, before it becomes a deadly and bitter tree that kills not only our own self but also the others on whom we exercise it with whatever pretext and excuse..

As for the former Paphos Tychikos himself, we wish him to follow to the end the course and stance of our Holy Fathers, old and contemporary. To sit on the side, silently prayerfully, until the First and Great High Priest of our Orthodox Church gives the final solution. As did the Great Holy Hierarchs, the Great Athanasios, Saint Gregory the Theologian, Saint John Chrysostom, the Great Basil, Saint Gregory Palamas, Saint Mark Eugenikos, Saint Nektarios and so many other Holy Bishops, Confessors and Martyrs of our Orthodox faith. The living examples have preceded for centuries in our Ecclesiastical History. He knows with His unspeakable and philanthropic Providence what is His spiritual and saving Will for each of us. But we know from the scriptures that love for Christ casts out fear (1 Jn. 4:18). So let him not fear and accept upon his existence all the fury, injustice and evil with trust in His will. We all wish for this.

Matthew 20:16

16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Bishop Tychikos is reportedly in a hospital in Athens, according to a post by a group of his friends on Social Media.

As his group of friends and supporters claim, he is facing a health problem, underwent a series of tests and was subsequently admitted.

They already add, through a letter he sent to the Archbishop of Cyprus, that he told him that "Coming from Constantinople, he did not feel well and stayed in Athens for examinations."

They also add that any members within the Holy Synod who "question or are concerned will be able to call the doctors to inform them."

They pointed out, however, that none of them had looked for him for so many months, nor had anyone called him, specifically saying that if they had looked for him, they would have known about his health condition.

Bishop Tychikos, in a relevant video posted by his group of friends and supporters, asks for everyone's prayers, just as he himself prays for Paphos, which he loves so much, but also for the whole of Cyprus, and for every Christian.

"May this trial pass and better days come for our Church," he notes. Finally, he praised God and thanked him.

The health problem he faced reportedly arose before his departure for the Ecumenical Patriarchate, authoritative sources report.

As for the confession of faith requested of him by the Holy Synod, Bishop Tychikos seems to still believe that he signed it on June 18, 2025 at 11:10 in the morning and sent it to the Office of the Holy Synod, through which he explicitly clarifies that he accepts all the decisions of the ecumenical councils. It is also alleged that for this reason, according to the same information, he considers that he meets the requirements requested of him on May 22 by the Holy Synod and does not need to sign anything else.

ΑΝΑΚΟΙΝΩΣΗ και ΟΜΟΛΟΓΙΑ Μητροπολίτου (πρ.) Πάφου Τυχικού

18 Ιουνίου 2025

Επειδή καθ' όλο το προηγούμενο διάστημα μέχρι και τώρα, διακινούνται διάφοροι ανυπόστατοι ισχυρισμοί περί δήθεν αποφυγής μου να καταθέσω Ομολογία Πίστεως, ή περί δήθεν παρεκκλίσεως της πορείας μου, κρίνω σκόπιμο προς αποκατάσταση της αληθείας να διευκρινίσω τα εξής.

1. Την σύνταξη της Ομολογίας Πίστεως την θεωρούσα εξ αρχής άνευ λόγου, καθότι συντάσσομαι με ό,τι και ομολόγησα κατά την ημέρα της χειροτονίας μου, δεν έπαψα να συντάσσομαι και ούτε θα πάψω, και σαφώς δεν προσχώρησα σε καμία πλάνη ή αίρεση (φεύ!), ώστε να υποβάλω εκ νέου ομολογία για δήθεν επανένταξή μου στην Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία. Εκ νεότητός μου ζω και αναπνέω μέσα στην Εκκλησία, με ακλόνητη πίστη στον Τριαδικό Θεό, στο πάνσεπτο Πρόσωπο του Κυρίου ημών Ιησού Χριστού και της Υπεραγίας Μητρός Του, πίστη που βασίζεται στην Αγία Γραφή, στην Ιερά Παράδοση της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας, στους Ιερούς Κανόνες και στη διδασκαλία των Αγίων Πατέρων μας. Σύμφωνα λοιπόν με τις προϋποθέσεις αυτών, ασφαλώς ακολουθώ, σέβομαι και υπακούω στις αποφάσεις της Ιεράς Συνόδου της Εκκλησίας της Κύπρου.

2. Ύστερα από πολλή προσευχή και σκέψη, αποφάσισα να υποβάλω την έκκλητο προσφυγή στο Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο, σύμφωνα με τον Καταστατικό Χάρτη, καθώς θεωρώ τις κατηγορίες ανυπόστατες και ψευδείς, όλως ιδιαιτέρως όμως η διαδικασία που (δεν) ακολουθήθηκε, καθιστά την απόφαση αντικανονική και αντικαταστατική. Η όλη εξέλιξη καταστρατηγεί κάθε έννοια σεβασμού προς το Αρχιερατικό Αξίωμα, αλλά και προς τα θεμελιώδη ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα. Θα μπορούσα, βεβαίως, να προσφύγω στα κοσμικά δικαστήρια. Όμως, κατά την προτροπή του αποστόλου Παύλου (Α΄ Κορ. 6,1), επέλεξα την επίλυση των ζητημάτων εντός της Εκκλησίας μας, απευθυνόμενος αρχικά στο Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο, έχοντας εμπιστοσύνη ότι μια τόσο άδικη διαδικασία και απόφαση δεν μπορεί να γίνει αποδεκτή.

3. Για λόγους αποφυγής σκανδαλισμού σχετικά με ενδεχόμενη ανυπακοή στην Ιερά Σύνοδο, και προς κατάρριψη κάθε συκοφαντίας εναντίον μου περί δήθεν αποτειχίσεως ή περί ανθρώπου που προτρέπει και συγκαλύπτει λαϊκούς ή κληρικούς να διακόψουν το μνημόσυνο των Επισκόπων τους, ετοίμασα Ομολογία Πίστεως και προ της τελικής αποφάσεως να καταθέσω έκκλητο, όπως αυτή μου ζητήθηκε στο συνοδικό ανακοινωθέν της 22 Μαΐου. Είχα πάντοτε την πρόθεση να την υποβάλω, όπως άλλωστε είχα ενημερώσει και τον ίδιο τον Μακαριώτατο Αρχιεπίσκοπο Κύπρου κ.κ. Γεώργιο στη συνάντησή μας την Παρασκευή 30 Μαΐου.

4. Δηλώνω πάλιν και πολλάκις, ρητώς και κατηγορηματικώς, πως όλες οι κατηγορίες δεν ευσταθούν αλλά καταρρίπτονται ως χάρτινος πύργος, και συγκεκριμένα για την κατηγορία της αποτειχίσεως που γίνεται πολύς λόγος, ενδεικτικά θα αναφέρω πέντε περιπτώσεις:

α) Αύγουστος 2023: Έθεσα σε αργία ιερέα της Μητρόπολης Πάφου, που προέβη σε αποτείχιση, και τελικώς το αρμόδιο εκκλησιαστικό δικαστήριο της Ιεράς Συνόδου προχώρησε στην καθαίρεσή του.

β) 13 Φεβρουαρίου 2024: κοινοποίησα ως μητροπολίτης Πάφου, την ανακοίνωση της Ιεράς Συνόδου και επέστησα την προσοχή για τον “αγιορείτη γέροντα Σάββα Λαυριώτη".

γ) 23 Μαΐου 2024: εξέδωσα ανακοίνωση, ύστερα από επικοινωνία μου με την Ι.Μ. Ξάνθης, περί της αυτοαποκαλούμενης “γερόντισσας Άννης”, που περιερχόταν την μητρόπολη Πάφου χωρίς κανονική άδεια και έκανε ομιλίες σε σπίτια.

δ) 10 Μαΐου 2025: ενημέρωσα γραπτώς τους ιερείς της Μητρόπολης Πάφου, για αρχιμανδρίτες που δεν έχουν ευλογία να ιεροπρακτούν, καθώς δεν ανήκουν σε καμία τοπική Εκκλησία και δεν αναγνωρίζουν κανένα ορθόδοξο επίσκοπο.

ε) Όσον αφορά την πρόσφατη υπόθεση “της Θεσσαλονίκης", ο πολύτεκνος ιερέας με καταγωγή από την Αγία Μαρίνα Πάφου, χειροτονήθηκε για να υπηρετεί μόνιμα την Μητρόπολη Πάφου. Διορίστηκε σε μεγάλη κοινότητα ιερατικός προϊστάμενος για μεγάλο διάστημα και μνημόνευε πάντοτε το όνομά μου ως μητροπολίτη, στις ιερές ακολουθίες που τελούσε στην Πάφο. Για την εκπόνηση μεταπτυχιακού προγράμματος, του χορηγήθηκε άδεια ελευθεροιεροπραξίας, όπως άλλωστε έλαβα και εγώ κατά την περίοδο των σπουδών μου στο Λονδίνο από τον τότε Μητροπολίτη Πάφου και νυν Μακαριώτατο κ.κ. Γεώργιο. Δεν ήταν δυνατόν να έχω ευθύνη ή γνώση των ενεργειών του εκτός των ορίων της Μητροπόλεώς μου.

5. Αν και λόγω του εκκλήτου όλοι πλέον τελούμε εν αναμονή των εξελίξεων στο Οικουμενικό Πατριαρχείο, όμως καταθέτω στην Ιερά Σύνοδο και δίνω στην δημοσιότητα την Ομολογία Πίστεως που μου ζητήθηκε. Γι'αυτό και καλώ τον Μακαριώτατο, τους Συνοδικούς Αρχιερείς και τον πιστό Λαό του Θεού, όσον αφορά την υπόθεσή μου, να μην προτρέχουμε και να διαγάγουμε το διάστημα με προσευχή και ηρεμία.

Σημ.: Επειδή δεν έχω πλέον πρόσβαση στην αλληλογραφία που με αφορά και αποστέλλεται στην Ιερά Μητρόπολη Πάφου, όσοι επιθυμούν να επικοινωνούν μαζί μου, παρακαλώ να το πράξουν αποκλειστικά μέσω της ηλεκτρονικής διεύθυνσης: mitr (τελεία) tychikos (εις το) outlook (τελεία) com.

ΟΜΟΛΟΓΙΑ ΤΗΣ ΠΙΣΤΕΩΣ

Πιστεύω εἰς ἕνα Θεόν, Πατέρα, Παντοκράτορα, ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς, ὁρατῶν τε πάντων καὶ ἀοράτων. Καὶ εἰς ἕνα Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ, τὸν ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς γεννηθέντα πρὸ πάντων τῶν αἰώνων· φῶς ἐκ φωτός, Θεὸν ἀληθινὸν ἐκ Θεοῦ ἀληθινοῦ, γεννηθέντα οὐ ποιηθέντα, ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί, δι' οὗ τὰ πάντα ἐγένετο. Τὸν δι' ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς Παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα. Σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου, καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος. Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον, τὸ κύριον, τὸ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον, τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν. Εἰς Μίαν, Ἁγίαν, Καθολικὴν καὶ Ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Ὁμολογῶ ἓν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν. Καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος. Ἀμήν.

Πρὸς δὲ τούτοις στέργω καὶ ἀποδέχομαι τὰς ἁγίας ἑπτὰ Οἰκουμενικὰς Συνόδους καὶ τῶν Τοπικῶν, ἃς ἐκεῖναι ἀποδεξάμεναι ἐκύρωσαν ἐπὶ φυλακῇ τῶν ὀρθοδόξων τῆς Ἐκκλησίας δογμάτων ἀθροισθεῖσαι. Ὁμολογῶ πάντας τοὺς ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν, ὡς ὑπὸ φωτιστικῆς χάριτος τοῦ Παναγίου Πνεύματος ὁδηγουμένους, ἐκτεθέντας ὅρους τῆς ὀρθῆς πίστεως καὶ τοὺς Ἱεροὺς Κανόνας, οὓς οἱ μακάριοι ἐκεῖνοι πρὸς τὴν τῆς Ἁγίας τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἐκκλησίας διακόσμησιν καὶ τῶν ἠθῶν εὐταξίαν κατὰ τὰς ἀποστολικὰς παραδόσεις καὶ τὴν διάνοιαν τῆς εὐαγγελικῆς θείας διδασκαλίας συντάξαντες παρέδωκαν τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἐνστερνίζομαι καὶ κατ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἰθύνειν ἐπιμελήσομαι τὴν θείῳ βουλήματι κληρωθεῖσάν μοι διακονίαν καὶ κατ᾿ αὐτοὺς διατελέσω διδάσκων τὸν περιούσιον λαὸν τοῦ Κυρίου.

Προὐργιαίτατα δέ μοι ὁμολογεῖται, ἵνα τηρῶ τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης, πάντα μὲν, ὅσα ἡ Μία, Ἀγία, Καθολικὴ καὶ Ἀποστολικὴ Ἐκκλησία τῶν Ὀρθοδόξων πρεσβεύουσα δογματίζει, ταῦτα πρεσβεύων καὶ ἐγὼ καὶ πιστεύων, μηδὲν προστιθεὶς, μηδὲν ἀφαιρῶν, μηδὲν μεταβάλλων μήτε τῶν δογμάτων, μήτε τῶν παραδόσεων, ἀλλὰ τούτοις ἐμμένων καὶ ταῦτα μετὰ φόβου Θεοῦ καὶ ἀγαθῆς συνειδήσεως διδάσκων καὶ κηρύττων, πάντα δὲ ὅσα ἐκείνη κατακρίνουσα ὡς ἑτεροδιδασκαλίας ἀποδοκιμάζει, ταῦτα καὶ ἐγὼ ἀποδοκιμάζων καὶ ἀποδιοπομπευόμενος διὰ παντός.

Ὁμολογῶ ὅτι παραμένω ἀμετακίνητος ἐντὸς τῶν ἀσφαλῶν τειχῶν τῆς Μιᾶς, Ἁγίας, Καθολικῆς καὶ Ἀποστολικῆς Ἐκκλησίας, ὡς ταῦτα καθώρισαν καὶ διαχρονικῶς ᾠκοδόμησαν οἱ θεοφόροι Πατέρες τῆς Ὀρθοδόξου Ἐκκλησίας, ἔχων πλήρη τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν ὅτι τὸ σχίσμα συνιστᾷ μέγιστον κακὸν εἰς τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν, τὸ ὁποῖον οὔτε αἷμα μαρτυρίου τοῦ ἀποσχισθέντος ἢ τοῦ παρασύραντος ἄλλους εἰς σχίσμα δύναται νὰ θεραπεύσῃ.

Ὡσαύτως, ἔχω πλήρη ἐπίγνωσιν ὅτι, συμφώνως πρός τε τὸ πνεῦμα τοῦ 31ου Ἀποστολικοῦ Κανόνος, λαβόντος κῦρος οἰκουμενικὸν, πρός τε τὸν 15ον Κανόνα τῆς Πρωτοδευτέρας ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει ἁγίας Συνόδου (σωτηρίου ἔτους 861) ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου καὶ Μεγάλου Φωτίου, ὁ ὁποῖος ἔχει μὲν ἐνταχθῇ εἰς τὸ corpus canonum τῆς Ὀρθοδόξου Ἐκκλησίας μας, συνοψίζει δὲ τὰ τῶν προηγουμένων Κανόνων 13ου καὶ 14ου, «Τὰ ὁρισθέντα περὶ πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἐπισκόπων καὶ μητροπολιτῶν, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ἐπὶ πατριαρχῶν ἁρμόζει. Ὥστε, εἴ τις πρεσβύτερος ἤ ἐπίσκοπος ἢ μητροπολίτης τολμήσοι ἀποστῆναι τῆς πρὸς τὸν οἰκεῖον πατριάρχην κοινωνίας καὶ μὴ ἀναφέροι τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, κατὰ τὸ ὡρισμένον καὶ τεταγμένον, ἐν τῇ θείᾳ μυσταγωγία, ἀλλὰ πρὸ ἐμφανείας συνοδικῆς καὶ τελείας αὐτοῦ κατακρίσεως σχίσμα ποιήσοι, τοῦτον ὥρισεν ή ἁγία σύνοδος, πάσης ἱερατείας παντελῶς ἀλλότριον εἶναι, εἰ μόνον ἐλεγχθείη τοῦτο παρανομήσας. Καὶ ταῦτα μὲν ἐσφράγισταί τε καὶ ὥρισται περὶ τῶν προφάσει τινῶν ἐγκλημάτων τῶν οἰκείων ἀφισταμένων προέδρων καὶ σχίσμα ποιούντων καὶ τὴν ἕνωσιν τῆς Ἐκκλησίας διασπώντων. Οἱ γὰρ δι' αἵρεσίν τινα, παρὰ τῶν ἁγίων Συνόδων ἢ Πατέρων κατεγνωσμένην, τῆς πρὸς τὸν πρόεδρον κοινωνίας ἑαυτοὺς διαστέλλοντες, ἐκείνου δηλονότι τὴν αἵρεσιν δημοσίᾳ κηρύττοντος καὶ γυμνῇ τῇ κεφαλῇ ἐπ᾿ ἐκκλησίας διδάσκοντος, οἱ τοιοῦτοι οὐ μόνον τῇ κανονικῇ ἐπιτιμήσει οὐχ ὑπόκεινται, πρὸ συνοδικῆς διαγνώσεως ἑαυτοὺς τῆς πρὸς τὸν καλούμενον ἐπίσκοπον κοινωνίας ἀποτειχίζοντες, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς πρεπούσης τιμῆς τοῖς ὀρθοδόξοις ἀξιωθήσονται. Οὐ γὰρ ἐπισκόπων, ἀλλὰ ψευδεπισκόπων καὶ ψευδοδιδασκάλων κατέγνωσαν, καὶ οὐ σχίσματι τὴν ἕνωσιν τῆς ἐκκλησίας κατέτεμον, ἀλλὰ σχισμάτων καὶ μερισμῶν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἐσπούδασαν ῥύσασθαι».

Ἔχω ἐπίγνωσιν ὅτι ὁ κανὼν οὗτος δίδει μὲν τὸ δικαίωμα εἰς κληρικὸν ἢ ἐπίσκοπον (τὸ ὁποῖον καὶ ὁρίζει ὡς ἀποτείχισιν ἐπαινουμένην), ἵνα παύῃ τὸ μνημόσυνον τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς αὐτοῦ ἀρχῆς (οὐχὶ ὅμως καὶ νὰ μνημονεύῃ ἑτέρου ἐπισκόπου ἢ ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἀρχῆς), ἐφ᾿ ὅσον ὅμως ὁ οἰκεῖος ἐπίσκοπος κηρύττῃ δημοσίᾳ καὶ γυμνῇ τῇ κεφαλῇ ἐπ᾿ ἐκκλησίας αἵρεσιν κατεγνωσμένην ὑπὸ τῶν ἁγίων Συνόδων ἢ ὑπὸ τῶν Ἁγίων Πατέρων. Ἡ ἄσκησις τοῦ δικαιώματος τούτου πρὸ τῆς συνοδικῆς διαγνώσεως περὶ ἐπισκόπου κηρύττοντος αἵρεσιν προϋποθέτει διάκρισιν καὶ θεῖον φωτισμόν. Καθ' ὅσον, ἐὰν τοῦτο γένηται ὑπὸ ἀκρίτου ζηλωτισμού, καὶ χωρὶς νὰ ὑφίστανται αἱ ὑπὸ τῶν ὡς ἄνω ἱερῶν Κανόνων προβλεπόμεναι προϋποθέσεις, εἶναι δυνατὸν νὰ ὁδηγήσῃ εἰς σχίσμα, τὸ ὁποῖον, ὅσον εὔκολα δημιουργεῖται, τόσον καὶ δύσκολα καταπαύεται.

Καθιστῶ γνωστὸν λοιπὸν ὅτι οὐδέποτε ἐξήτασα καθ' ἑαυτὸν τὸ ἐνδεχόμενον διακοπής μνημονεύσεως, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο καὶ συνελειτούργουν μέχρι τώρα μὲ τὸν Ἀρχιεπίσκοπον Κύπρου, ὅσον καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς Συνοδικοὺς Ἀρχιερεῖς, πάντοτε δὲ ἐμνημόνευον τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Μακαριωτάτου Ἀρχιεπισκόπου Κύπρου εἰς τὰς ἱερὰς Ἀκολουθίας καὶ Θείας Λειτουργίας, τὰς ὁποίας ἐτέλουν. Περαιτέρω, οὐδέποτε συνεκάλυψα όποιονδήποτε ἀποτειχισθέντα, οὐδὲ παρώτρυνα κληρικὸν ἢ λαϊκὸν νὰ ἐφαρμόσει ἀποτείχισιν.

Ὁμολογῷ, ὅτι καταδικάζω ἐκκλησιαστικῶς καὶ ἀνεξαιρέτως ὡς σχισματικούς, κατὰ τοὺς θείους καὶ ἱεροὺς Κανόνας, ὅσους προσχήματι τῆς ἀποτειχίσεως, πνεύματι φιλαρχίας κυριευθέντας καί «προφάσει τινῶν ἐγκλημάτων τοῦ οἰκείου προϊσταμένου» ἤτοι «διὰ ἐκκλησιαστικά ζητήματα ἰάσιμα», κατὰ τὸν θεοφάντορα Μέγα Βασίλειον, ἀποσχίζονται τῆς κοινῆς πάντων ἡμῶν τροφοῦ καὶ σώτειρας Ὀρθοδόξου κατ' ἀνατολὰς Ἁγίας Ἐκκλησίας. Ἐξ ἴσου καταδικάζω πάντας τοὺς τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ συνοδικῶς ἢ καθ' ὁμοφωνίαν τῶν θείων Πατέρων ἀναθεματιζομένους διὰ τῶν αἰώνων αἱρετικούς· «αἱρετικὸς δέ ἐστι καὶ τοῖς κατὰ τῶν αἱρετικῶν ὑπόκειται νόμοις ὁ μικρὸν γοῦν ἐκκλίνων τῆς Ὀρθοδόξου Πίστεως», κατὰ τὴν ὀρθόδοξον ἐκκλησιολογίαν ἀποτυπωθεῖσαν εἰς τὸν τοῦ Φωτίου Νομοκάνονα.

Ὁμολογῶ δὲ ὅτι θὰ πείθωμαι προθύμως, συνῳδὰ τῇ καθοδηγήσει καὶ ταῖς προβλέψεσι τῶν θεοπνεύστων Δογμάτων καὶ Κανόνων τῆς Καθολικῆς Ἁγίας Ὀρθοδόξου Ἐκκλησίας μας, εἰς τὰς ἀποφάσεις τῆς Ἱερᾶς Συνόδου τῆς Ἐκκλησίας Κύπρου.

Ἐπισφραγίζων πάντα τὰ ἀνωτέρω καὶ ἐνυπογράφως, διατελῶ

Η κακία βλάπτει σοβαρά την υγεία…

Με αφορμή την εισαγωγή του πρώην Πάφου Τυχικου στο νοσοκομείο με «σοβαρό πρόβλημα υγείας», μας αποκαλύπτεται κάτι που οι Πατέρες της Εκκλησίας μας γνωρίζουν και καταγράφουν σε πολλά κείμενα ή λόγους τους και είναι πολυειπωμένο ακόμη και στα θεόπνευστα κείμενα ακολουθιών και παρακλήσεων προς τον Κύριο μας, την Θεοτόκο και τους Αγίους μας.

«Ασθενεί το σώμα ασθενεί μου και η ψυχή». Αυτό λοιπόν το γνωρίζουμε και ξανά το βλεπουμε κάθε μέρα μπροστά μας, μάλιστα πλέον έφτασε στις ημέρες μας αγκομαχούσα και η κατά τα άλλα πολύ προχωρημένη επιστήμη, να το διαπιστώνει.

Τι; Ότι η ασθένεια του σώματος, κάθε ασθένεια, έχει άμεση σχέση (και στην πρόκληση αλλά και στην πιθανότητα θεραπείας της) με την ψυχικη κατάσταση του ανθρώπου: την γαλήνη, την ηρεμία, την αγάπη που έχει ή δεν έχει, που δέχεται η όχι, σε αυτή την πορεία του στον κόσμο. Μάλιστα όσο πιο ευαίσθητος στον χαρακτήρα και εσωστρεφής είναι κάποιος, τόσο τα συμπτώματα από την ασθένεια της ψυχής είναι πιο έντονα, επώδυνα και ορατά επάνω του, είτε ως θλίψη, είτε ως κάποιο αυτοάνοσο, είτε ως καρκίνος ή καρδιακή νόσος η εγκεφαλική βλάβη.

Αυτό που δεν μας είπαν τόσο ξεκάθαρα οι Πατέρες μας και κανεις δεν συζητάει συνήθως, είναι το αδιαμφισβήτητο γεγονός πως η κακία κάποιων ανθρώπων μπορεί να προκαλέσει ασθένειες σοβαρές έως θανάτου σε άλλους και ειδικά στους ανυπεράσπιστους, στους πιο ευαίσθητους και ανήμπορους αυτού του σκληρού κόσμου. Βλέπουμε λοιπόν στην περίπτωση Τυχικού, την κακία σε όλο της το βάθος να ξεδιπλώνεται εωσφορικά με τον μανδύα της επίσημης απόφασης της συνόδου της Εκκλησίας της Κύπρου και του Οικουμενικού Πατριαρχείου (της αυτού μεγαλειότητος) και αυτή η κακία να προκαλεί σοβαρή ασθένεια σε έναν απλό, ταπεινό, ευαίσθητο και παραδοσιακό αρχιερέα που τόλμησε να σκεφτεί στην διακονία του ότι μπορει να ακολουθήσει τους Αγίους Πατέρες στην επαρχία του έστω. Δεν υποψιάστηκε ότι ο πνευματικός του «πατέρας-τέρας» θα αντιδρούσε με τέτοιο εγωισμό και κακία που θα έφτανε στο σημείο ακόμη και καθαίρεσης από το αποστολικό και αρχιερατικό αξίωμα ενός ιεράρχη που κατά τα άλλα ουδέν κακόν εποίησε.

Για ποιον λόγο αληθινά διώχθηκε, θα μας πει κάποιος; Οι κάτοικουντες την Ιερουσαλήμ γνωρίζουν καλά και άλλοι σιωπούν νίπτοντας χείρας και φοβούμενοι την δική τους δίωξη, άλλοι δεν κατανοούν και απορούν, άλλοι πιο αδύνατοι στην πίστη σκανδαλίζονται, άλλοι εξίστανται με το θράσος, το απύθμενο βάθος της κακίας και της κατά συνέπεια αυτής διώξεως του Τυχικού. Και η κακία βεβαίως δεν είναι αμελητέα δύναμις: είναι δαιμονική ενέργεια και όποιος την φέρει και την εξασκεί δεν μπορεί παρά να άγεται και φέρεται εκ των δαιμονικών δυνάμεων, ενώ έχει βεβαίως προηγηθεί η συγκατάβαση του και η συνεργασία του με τον πειρασμό του πλούτου, της εξουσίας, της αρχομανίας, της φιλαργυρίας και της αυταπάτης ότι κάποιος από μόνος του, όποιο αξίωμα και εάν έχει, μπορεί να διοικεί την Εκκλησία σαν να είναι το μαγαζακι του, με εμπορικούς όρους και μεθόδους του δρόμου.

Προς όλους εμάς, ιερείς, λαϊκούς, θεολόγους, θολολόγους, οικολόγους, μοναχούς και αμόναχους και ειδικά αρχιερείς που επαίρονται πως ξέρουν τας γραφάς απέξω και χρησιμοποιούν εδάφια στις ομιλίες τους, θα πρέπει να θυμίσουμε πως «ο Θεός αγάπη εστί» (Α Ιω. 4,16). Και αυτό ευαγγελικό είναι ξέρετε και μάλιστα ίσως το πιο δυνατό και σωστικό μήνυμα του Ευαγγελίου. Ο Κύριος μας ΕΙΝΑΙ η αγάπη, δεν εχει απλώς αγάπη. Οπότε η κακία ποιος είναι; Πρέπει να το αναφέρω; Δεν θέλω ούτε να αναφέρω το όνομα του. Με απλά μαθηματικά λοιπόν να συμπεράνουμε πως οποίος ασκεί και ασπάζεται και συμφωνεί και σιωπεί με την κακία που βλέπει μπροστά του, ουσιαστικά συνεργεί και χειροκροτεί τον αρχηγό της κακίας.

Για να δούμε πόσο εωσφορικός είναι όλος αυτός ο χειρισμός του Τυχικου από κάποιους, σκεφτείτε ότι στο όνομα της αγάπης είναι έτοιμοι αυτοί να εναγκαλιστούν και να συμπορευθούν με παπικούς, πρωτεστάντες, μορμόνους, ευαγγελιστές και άλλους αιρετικούς ων ουκ έσται τέλος, αλλά δεν μπορούν εν ονόματι της αγάπης να συγχωρήσουν τον Τυχικό ούτε να τον δεχθούν και να συμπορευθούν μαζί του, ενώ είναι Ορθόδοξος χριστιανός.. βαπτισμένος και αγιοπνευματοφόρος.

Και να κλείσω θέτοντας ένα ερώτημα σε όλους όσους καταδίκασαν τον πρώην Πάφου Τυχικό και όλους όσους συμφώνησαν με την καταδίκη του: εάν ο Τυχικος από την πολλή κακία που δέχθηκε στην ψυχή και το σώμα του, ως ενέργεια δαιμονική και βίαια, δεν αντέξει και πεθάνει τελικά από μια ασθένεια που όμως προκλήθηκε από την κακία, θα έχουν όσοι άσκησαν βία και κακία πάνω του κάποια πνευματική ευθύνη; Έχουν υποπέσει στην αμαρτία του εγκληματία του φόνου είτε εις γνώσιν είτε από άγνοια; Μόνο για τις εκτρώσεις θα κηρύττουμε τον φόνο; Μόνο τους δολοφόνους που είναι στις φυλακές θα καταδικάζει η Εκκλησία ως φονιάδες που χρήζουν μετανοίας; Και εάν τελικά μετανοήσουν κάποιοι από αυτούς, πριν φύγουν από τον μάταιο αυτό κόσμο, ενώ έχουν σκοτώσει τον Τυχικό και τον κάθε Τυχικό, θα θεωρηθεί ότι είναι καθαροί και άμεπτοι;

Αυτά είναι του Θεού θα πει κάποιος και συμφωνώ: η τελική κρίση είναι δική Του αποκλειστικά υπόθεση. Όμως εγώ δεν ομιλώ για την τελική κρίση και την κατάταξη ενός εκάστου στον Παράδεισο ή στην απώλεια, αλλά για την κατάταξη του καθενός μας στην συνείδηση της Εκκλησίας σε αυτή τη ζωή και ει δυνατόν στην αποκατάσταση της αλήθειας κατά το μέτρο αυτής της ζωής. Κάποιοι εννοείται ότι δεν πρέπει να συνεχίσουν να υποκρίνονται και να φέρονται ως αγνοί και αλάνθαστοι. Ο Πάπας το ξεκίνησε αυτό (προφανώς βόλευε πολλούς στην πορεία της εκκλησιαστικής ιστορίας) και οι σημερινοί το αποδέχονται ως συνυφασμένο με την ιεροσύνη και αρχιεροσυνη τους δικαίωμα. Με συνέπεια όμως βεβαια να έχουν χάσει προ πολλού την ελπίδα της μετανοίας τους. Γιατί πώς να μετανοήσει κάποιος, όταν θεωρεί πάντα σωστά όσα κάνει και κάνει τα πάντα να απόδειξει ότι έχει δίκιο;

Εν κατακλείδι, η περιπτωση του πρώην Πάφου Τυχικού ανέδειξε για μια φορά ακόμη μια θανατηφόρα πνευματικά ασθένεια που ενυπάρχει μέσα στο σώμα της Εκκλησίας, που όταν συνδεθεί με το αξίωμα και την υψηλή θέση μετατρέπεται σε φονικό όπλο το οποίο συντρίβει την ψυχή και την πνευματική ύπαρξη συγχρόνως όμως και συχνά αρρωσταίνει προς θάνατον το σώμα. Ένας τέτοιος άνθρωπος μέσα στην Εκκλησία είναι δολοφόνος της ψυχής και του σωματος, ενώ ο Χριστός μας είναι ο ιατρός της ψυχής και του σώματος μας (όπως ρητά άλλωστε αναφέρεται και μέσα στην Θεία Λειτουργία)

Τέτοιες στάσεις και συμπεριφορές τις βρίσκουμε σε όλη την εκκλησιαστική και ανθρώπινη ιστορία, απλά σήμερα μάλλον είναι πια ο κανόνας και όχι η εξαίρεση. Ας στραφούμε στο εσώτερο της καρδιάς μας και ας πολεμήσουμε την κακία μέσα μας. Ειναι ανάγκη να ξεριζωθεί από μέσα μας αυτό το ζιζάνιο, πριν γίνει δέντρο θανατηφόρο και πικρό που δεν σκοτώνει μόνο τον ίδιο μας τον εαυτό αλλά και τους άλλους στους οποίους την ασκούμε με οποία πρόφαση και διακαιολογία..

Όσον αφορά τον ίδιο τον πρώην Πάφου Τυχικο ευχόμαστε να ακολουθήσει μέχρι τέλους την πορεία και την στάση των Αγίων Πατέρων μας, παλιών και σύγχρονων. Νά καθίσει στήν άκρη, σιωπηλά προσευχητικά, μέχρι ό Πρώτος καί Μεγάλος Άρχιερέας τής Όρθοδόξου Έκκλησίας μας δώσει τήν τελική λύση. Όπως έκαναν οί Μεγάλοι Άγιοι Ίεράρχες, ό Μέγας Άθανάσιος, ό Άγιος Γρηγόριος Θεολόγος, ό Άγιος Ίωάννης ό Χρυσόστομος, ό Μέγας Βασίλειος, ό Άγιος Γρηγόριος ό Παλαμάς, ό Άγιος Μάρκος ό Εύγενικός, ό Άγιος Νεκτάριος καί τόσοι άλλοι Άγιοι Έπίσκοποι, Όμολογητές καί Μάρτυρες τής Όρθοδόξου πίστεως μας. Τά ζωντανά παραδείγματα έχουν προηγηθεί έδώ καί αίώνες στήν Έκκλησιαστική Ίστορία μας. Έκείνος γνωρίζει μέ τήν άφατη καί φιλάνθρωπο Πρόνοιά Του, ποιό είναι τό πνευματικό καί σωτήριο Θέλημά Του γιά τόν κάθε ένα άπό έμάς. Εμείς όμως ξέρουμε από τις γραφές ότι η αγάπη προς τον Χριστό έξω βάλλει τον φόβο (Α΄ Ιω. δ΄18). Ας μην φοβάται λοιπόν και ας δεχθεί πάνω στην ύπαρξη του όλο το μένος, την αδικία και την κακία με εμπιστοσύνη στο θέλημά Του. Όλοι ευχόμαστε προς τούτο.

ΚΑΙ ΟΙ ΕΣΧΑΤΟΙ ΕΣΟΝΤΑΙ ΠΡΩΤΟΙ

ΕΙΣΑΓΩΓΗ: Η ΓΕΝΝΗΣΗ ΤΟΥ ΠΝΕΥΜΑΤΙΚΟΥ ΠΑΤΕΡΑ Στις 21 Ιανουαρίου 1962, στο χωριό Άνω Ζώδια της επαρχίας Λευκωσίας, γεννιέται ο Όμηρος Μασούρας, γιος του Χριστόδουλου Μασούρα (αγρότη και ψάλτη) και της Ελένης το γένος Κυριακίδου. Η οικογένεια ζει σε παραδοσιακό κυπριακό περιβάλλον, με καθημερινή προσευχή, νηστείες και εκκλησιασμό στον Ιερό Ναό Αγίου Γεωργίου. Από τα 4 του χρόνια, ο μικρός Όμηρος μαθαίνει τα πρώτα τροπάρια από τον πατέρα του και συμμετέχει στις αγρυπνίες.

Archbishop Demetrios of America – The Selling of Joseph into Spiritual Egypt by His Brothers! The Martyrdom and Confessional Death of Elder Ephraim of Arizona

---

The Blameless, Most Theological and Truly Orthodox Hierarch – Slandered, Defamed, and Sold for 20 Silver Coins by His Own Brothers into the Land of Spiritual Egypt Demetrios, Archbishop of America

AXIOS.. AXIOS.. AXIOS..

Worthy! Worthy! Worthy!

He Who Departed This Fleeting and Deceptive Life in Apostolic, Patristic, Holy, Confessional, and Miraculous Manner Saint Ephraim of Philotheou and Arizona

---

Some Were Called to “Clean Up” the Case of Ephraim of Arizona (Philotheou), Beloved Spiritual Child of Saint Joseph the Hesychast!

A fake financial scandal was created, just like the one in Jerusalem under Patriarch Irenaeus. The goal? To immediately remove Archbishop Demetrios.

Why? Because of his firm Orthodox faith, he was no longer wanted by the Zionists.

---

What Was Never Forgiven of Demetrios?

His tolerance and support of Elder Ephraim’s great missionary work in the Arizona desert – a place where nothing grows except cacti.

---

Who Was Elder Ephraim?

A spiritual Alexander the Great, an Apostle of Christ, an Equal-to-the-Apostles. He drew water from dry rock. Like a new Saint George, he struck a deadly blow to the Zionist-controlled dragon called the West – America.

There, where antichrists openly and “legally” worship Satan, Ephraim planted the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of Christ.

---

What Happened Next?

With quick procedures, they removed Demetrios and installed Elpidophoros.

The foolish, Zionist-controlled Western antichrists hear the name “Ephraim” like they hear “Russian.”

But Ephraim of Arizona had nothing to do with Russia.

They feared:

• A Russian finger in Arizona?
• Monasteries turning Russian, like St. Panteleimon on Mount Athos?

Impossible. Elder Ephraim wisely wrote the monastery charters and registered them in U.S. courts. No foreign control allowed.

They still didn’t believe it.

---

What Did They Do to Elder Ephraim?

They:

• Kidnapped him
• Mistreated him
• Tortured him
• Interrogated him brutally

Using a deceptive infiltrator – allowed by God – they tricked both the saint and his brotherhood.

God wanted Ephraim to share the table with the martyrs.

Only the grace of God and the Virgin Mary kept him alive. They had no permission from God to kill him.

They terrified him and forbade him to speak to anyone.

Later, broken and exhausted from torture, he lived in silence, accepting no visitors.

---

Who Are These People?

Zionist-controlled American antichrists – not all Americans, of course. There are many good, moral people. But these are the unrepentant ones, sold to the dollar, to Belial, and his wicked works.

---

A Clear Statement:

We do not support the Russians. They also want control of the Patriarchates, Mount Athos, and Jerusalem – to replace Orthodox Ellenism by Slavism That will never happen. The Lord’s word stands: The Church remains in Orthodox Ellenism until the end of the world. Woe to us if we fail.

---

Our Only Comfort:

No matter what happens, The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church is guided by the Holy Spirit.

---

Woe to You, Antichrists!

Holy Lord Jesus Christ will consume you with the spirit of His mouth – forever. Unless you repent.

Not understanding Do you think you have a guarantee of eternal earthly life? Do you have a contract saying when you will die? Will you mock or deceive the All-Wise God on Judgment Day?

Woe to you – shameful antichrists, traitors of faith and homeland!

I pray – though I am not holy – May God grant you awareness and repentance.

“What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”

With the pain of my humble soul, I wish you repentance.

And for the unrepentant antichrists – Talmudists, Freemasons, Kabbalists, Zionists, Papists, heretics, and all servants of Satan – I, the least of all, tell you: Your time has come. Taste the wick of the lamp! (As we say in my humble village.)

Amen. Truly. Amen.

Blessed Repentance to All – Them and Us.

several documents.. follow:

The Kidnapping of the Blessed Elder Ephraim by an Antichrist Deceiver and Dollar-Driven Fraud – From the Arizona Desert!

This man of God was found and kidnapped by a liar – we pray for his repentance, that he may not lose his soul.

This spiritual Alexander who conquered with divine word and sowed Orthodox Gospel seed in the heart of Zionist America, in the dry Arizona desert.

They tormented and terrified this man of God.

The blasphemous cannibals of Pizzagate, the Sodomites of Soros, the heretical destroyers of all that is holy and true – Like new Caligulas, Neros, Trajans, they have launched brutal persecution and issued orders to exterminate all Orthodox Christians everywhere, especially Greek Orthodoxy and Greece.

May the Lord rebuke you!

Woe to you, antichrists! Not even a flea in your bed!

But as we’ve said before: We choose, with Holy Lord Jesus Christ, to see the sinner repent and live – not lose his soul.

Saint Elder Ephraim of Philotheou Received the Crown of Martyrdom – He Suffered Much from Ecumenists!

His great work in America and Canada deeply disturbed them.

Under the pretext of needing medical care, they took him against his will to a Boston clinic run by two Greek-American psychiatrist brothers. By higher orders, they drugged him heavily with psychiatric drugs and turned him into a vegetable.

Yet, he appeared miraculously to many when needed.

The monks at St. Anthony’s reacted and brought him back.

Then the ecumenists organized a kidnapping. For about a year, no one knew where he was – kept in a doctor’s home.

Finally, someone spoke. With a commando-style rescue, the St. Anthony monks broke in, took him back, and he slowly recovered until his holy death on December 8, 2019, in Philotheou.

Spyros the icon painter, who traveled between Arizona and Greece, described scenes of battle as the monks fought to free him from the locked house. The doctor claimed:

“The elder doesn’t want to see anyone. Tell me, I’ll pass it on.”

He also tried to seize all donations given to the elder.

They stormed the house and took him.

Now the doctor is in court for misusing monastery funds.

These things have not been made public yet.

Only Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou said:

“He received the crown of martyrdom” – without details.

---

How the Monastery Began

When Elder Ephraim decided to build a monastery in the Arizona desert, he asked the governor for permission.

The governor asked:

“How will you and your monks live where there’s no water at all?”

Ephraim replied:

“I will find water.”

The governor, skeptical, said:

“If you find water there, I’ll give you all the land you need.”

Now, in that desert, stands St. Anthony’s Monastery – a real oasis with 2,000 kinds of flowers and trees, a spiritual oasis where Elder Ephraim still cools, calms, and comforts souls.

• Started in 1995
• Found water miraculously at 980 meters deep
• Now produces 300 liters of drinkable water per second
• Planted 3,000 olive trees, vineyards, vegetables, citrus, figs, pines, cypresses, tall palms, colorful flowers – all automatically watered twice a day in summer

The location was revealed miraculously – many heard church bells ringing in the desert where none existed.

---

The Monastery Today

• 45 monks work tirelessly
• Abbot: Fr. Paisios (from Mount Athos)
• Monks from across America, one African, one Japanese
• 2000 acres
• Daily pilgrims stay in separate clean guesthouses for men and women
• Follows exact Athonite schedule and rule
• 5 churches: St. Anthony, St. Nektarios, St. Nicholas (stone, beautiful), St. Demetrios, St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. George
• Chapel of Prophet Elijah on a hill with panoramic view

Animals (snakes, coyotes, rabbits) stay away.

---

Elder Ephraim’s Work

• Founded 19 monasteries (17 in USA, 2 in Canada) – aiming for 20, like Mount Athos
• Also founded a large nursing home for the elderly
• Locations: 2 in Florida, 2 in Texas, 2 in Chicago, 2 in South Carolina, 1 each in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Michigan, Montreal, Toronto

Countless sick and suffering came to him – healed by faith and God’s power. He guided them to holiness.

His prayers and intercessions, Saint Elder Ephraim!

The Ever-Memorable Elder Ephraim of Arizona: A Charismatic Elder, Fierce Opponent of Ecumenism

A holy and sanctified figure of our Orthodox Church has left this fleeting life and joined the heavenly Church.

Fr. Ephraim of Arizona, former abbot of Philotheou Monastery on Mount Athos, was:

• A true monastic and ascetic personality
• Faithful follower of Orthodox monastic tradition
• One of the greatest missionaries of the last days

With his powerful personality and holy life, he saved thousands of souls. He became the spiritual father of clergy and laity, Greek and foreign. With donations from his spiritual children, he founded:

• 20 monasteries in USA and Canada
• Guided 4 Athonite monasteries and 10 women’s monasteries in Greece

He was a fierce fighter against the pan-heresy of Ecumenism – attacked by ecumenists, Freemasons, and international Zionism in their stronghold: America.

---

His Life

• Born 1928 in Volos, Greece
• Mother later became Nun Theophano
• At 19 (1947), went to Mount Athos, joined Saint Joseph the Hesychast
• Stayed 12 years until Joseph’s death in 1959
• Formed his own brotherhood
• In 1973, invited to revive Philotheou Monastery
• Grew it to over 100 monks
• Also revived Karakallou, Konstamonitou, Xeropotamou, and the Russian Skete of St. Andrew

From 1979, visited USA and Canada – preached, heard confessions (up to 200 people, 12 hours), spoke for 2 hours after.

Gained thousands of spiritual children – loved as a treasure. Had prophetic and visionary gifts.

In 1991, resigned from Philotheou to focus on American mission. Founded first monastery (women’s) in New York, then Chicago, and 17 more – largest: St. Anthony in Arizona.

---

His Fight Against Ecumenism

He called Ecumenism the worst heresy in Church history – a satanic plan to unite all religions under the Antichrist.

“They want Orthodoxy to join Catholics, Protestants, then Muslims, Jews, Buddhists – all under one false god: Lucifer.”

He said:

“Between Orthodoxy and heresy, a great chasm is fixed.”

His fiery sermons enraged ecumenists. They slandered him, called his followers “Ephraimites”, accused him of fundamentalism. None of his monasteries are listed in the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s official directory.

---

Recent Attacks

• Article by Theodore Kalmoukos (National Herald):

  “A fundamentalist movement called ‘Ephraimism’ has emerged… The Patriarchate knows… Videos of his teachings and ‘prophecies’ are online… Archbishop Demetrios knows but does nothing.”

• Elaine Jaharis (open letter):

  “The rapid spread of Ephraim’s monasteries has reached a critical, irreversible point… They are destroying our faith and communities and creating geopolitical and legal risks… The new Chicago Metropolitan must rein them in or remove their legitimacy.”

---

Who is Elaine Jaharis?

• Former Archdiocesan Council member (2004–2017)
• Founder of Faith: Endowment for Orthodoxy and Hellenism
• Member of Leadership 100
• Daughter-in-law of billionaire Michael Jaharis (d. 2016), major donor to the Archdiocese and Patriarchate, member of Order of St. Andrew

The Real Conflict

Behind the Chicago Metropolitan election crisis (Patriarch vs. Demetrios): Control of Orthodoxy in America.

Ecumenists want:

• Weak, compliant leadership
• Suppression of traditional Orthodoxy

Elder Ephraim’s monasteries:

• Grow rapidly
• Teach pure Orthodoxy
• Resist Ecumenism and the Crete Council (2016)
• Attract thousands – seen as a threat

---

Final Prayer

Holy Elder Ephraim, Do not cease praying for our souls.

May your 20 monasteries remain:

• Fortresses of Orthodoxy
• Breakers against Ecumenism
• Spiritual harbors
• Beacons of light in America until the end of time.

Amen.

The Life, Legacy, and Controversies of Elder Ephraim of Arizona: A Comprehensive Chronicle of Orthodox Renewal and Conflict in America

Introduction: A Saint in the Desert

In the arid expanse of the Sonoran Desert, where cacti stand as silent sentinels against a relentless sun, a miracle unfolded in the late 20th century. Elder Ephraim of Arizona—born Ioannis Moraitis in Volos, Greece, on June 24, 1928—transformed barren land into a spiritual oasis, founding 19 monasteries across North America that became beacons of Orthodox monasticism. His life, marked by profound asceticism, miraculous interventions, and unyielding fidelity to the Patristic tradition, bridged the ancient hesychasm of Mount Athos with the modern challenges of American Orthodoxy. Yet, his legacy is not without shadows: accusations of cult-like control, financial scandals, and jurisdictional battles have fueled debates within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOARCH).

This chronicle draws from historical records, eyewitness accounts, ecclesiastical documents, and contemporary analyses to explore Ephraim's journey—from disciple of Saint Joseph the Hesychast to "Apostle of America." It examines his missionary zeal, the miracles attributed to him, his staunch opposition to ecumenism, and the controversies that pitted him against church hierarchies, including Archbishop Demetrios and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. As of November 1, 2025, Ephraim's influence endures through his monasteries, even as debates rage over his canonization and the "Ephraimite" movement's role in GOARCH.

Ephraim's story is one of divine providence amid human strife: a humble monk who drew water from stone, healed the afflicted, and prophesied tribulations, yet faced persecution that echoed the biblical trials of Joseph sold into Egypt. His repose on December 7, 2019, at St. Anthony's Monastery did not end the narrative; it amplified calls for his glorification, with visions of "three crowns"—of confessor, martyr, and prophet—reported soon after.

Chapter 1: Roots in the Holy Mountain – The Formative Years Under Saint Joseph the Hesychast

Ephraim's spiritual odyssey began in the shadow of poverty and piety. Born into a modest family in Volos, young Ioannis was shaped by his mother's devotion; she later became Nun Theophano. At 14, he experienced a profound vision of the Theotokos, igniting a monastic calling. By 1947, at age 19, he arrived on Mount Athos, the cradle of Orthodox monasticism, seeking the rigorous path of hesychasm—the practice of unceasing prayer in silence.

His destiny converged with Saint Joseph the Hesychast (1897–1959), a luminary of 20th-century Athonite spirituality canonized in 2020. Joseph, born Fragkiskos Kottis on Paros, had himself fled worldly turmoil during World War I to embrace the eremitic life. Arriving on Athos in 1922, Joseph mastered the Jesus Prayer under Elder Ephraim the Barrel-Maker and Elder Daniel of Katounakia, enduring demonic assaults and physical torments that forged his unshakeable noetic prayer.

Ioannis joined Joseph's brotherhood at the Skete of Little St. Anne's in 1947, receiving the monastic name Ephraim on July 13, 1948. For 12 years, until Joseph's repose on August 15, 1959 (the Feast of the Dormition), Ephraim lived in absolute obedience. Joseph's teachings, as recounted in Ephraim's My Elder Joseph the Hesychast (published 1993), emphasized cutting off one's will to conquer passions: "Obedience is the tomb of the will and the resurrection of humility."

Under Joseph, Ephraim witnessed miracles that foreshadowed his own. Joseph healed the incurably ill with prayer, discerned hidden sins during confessions, and levitated during noetic ascent—phenomena verified by disciples like Elder Ephraim of Xeropotamou. Joseph's skull, now at Philotheou Monastery, exudes myrrh, a sign of sanctity.

Joseph's legacy revived Athonite monasticism, repopulating Philotheou, Karakallou, Konstamonitou, and Xeropotamou. He prophesied Ephraim's role: "You will go to a distant land and plant the vineyard of Christ." This vision propelled Ephraim from novice to elder, inheriting Joseph's prayer rule: 500–1,000 daily prostrations, unceasing invocation of the Jesus Prayer, and strict fasting.

Ephraim's early years on Athos (1947–1973) honed his ascetic prowess. By 1963, he led a skete at Provata; in 1973, he became abbot of Philotheou, growing its brotherhood from 30 to over 100 monks. His revival extended to four Athonite houses and ten women's monasteries in Greece. Yet, whispers of "over-zealousness" emerged, as Ephraim's emphasis on eldership—total obedience to a spiritual father—clashed with modern individualism.

Chapter 2: The Call to America – Missionary Beginnings and Jurisdictional Trials

Ephraim's American sojourn began in 1979, invited by spiritual children in Montreal and Toronto. Amid Greek immigrants' spiritual malaise—lax confessions, forgotten traditions—he heard up to 200 penitents daily, sessions lasting 10–12 hours. His homilies, blending Patristic wisdom with prophetic urgency, drew thousands. By 1987, convinced of divine mandate, he prayed for guidance, receiving a vision of Christ blessing North America.

In 1989, Ephraim founded his first U.S. monastery: the Nativity of the Theotokos Convent near Pittsburgh. But resistance mounted. Archbishop Iakovos (1979–1996) and the Holy Synod viewed Ephraim's eldership as "foreign" to American democracy, fearing it fostered a "church within a church." Ephraim briefly joined ROCOR in 1991, decrying the Ecumenical Patriarchate as "proponents of ecumenism and enemies of monasticism." ROCOR's Metropolitan Vitaly welcomed him, but after a year—amid threats to expel his Athonite monks—Ephraim returned under Patriarch Bartholomew's patronage.

This episode (1991–1992) highlighted Ephraim's anti-ecumenist stance. In Counsels from the Holy Mountain (1996), he lambasted the World Council of Churches as a "pan-heresy" alchemizing Orthodoxy with "false gods." He equated ecumenism with Antichrist's precursor, urging schism from "pseudo-Orthodox" hierarchies. Yet, his return to Constantinople underscored pragmatism: "Calendar is not dogma," echoing Joseph's reconciliation post-1923 calendar schism.

By 1995, Ephraim established St. Anthony's in Florence, Arizona—a 1,800-acre "green oasis" in the desert. Miraculously, water gushed from 980 meters deep after his prayers, yielding 300 liters/second. The governor, skeptical of sustaining life there, granted unlimited land upon seeing the well. Planted with 3,000 olive trees, vineyards, and 2,000 floral species, it became a pilgrimage site, hosting 45 monks under Abbot Paisios (Ephraim's disciple).

Ephraim's expansion was meteoric: 19 monasteries by 2019 (17 U.S., 2 Canada), plus a nursing home. Locations spanned Florida (2), Texas (2), Chicago (2), South Carolina (2), and singles in New York, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Michigan, Montreal, Toronto. Each followed Athonite typikon: midnight Matins, strict silence, noetic prayer. Converts flocked, drawn by Ephraim's prophetic gifts—foreseeing illnesses, discerning demons, multiplying food.

Yet, jurisdictional friction persisted. Ephraim's monasteries, under GOARCH but spiritually autonomous, evaded full oversight. The 2005 "General Regulations for Monasteries" mandated transparency, but compliance lagged. Ephraim's "Ephraimism"—absolute obedience to elders—alarmed bishops, evoking cult accusations.

Chapter 3: The Desert Oasis – St. Anthony's Monastery and Its Miracles

St. Anthony's, Ephraim's crown jewel, exemplifies his transformative power. Founded amid coyotes and rattlesnakes, it repelled wildlife through prayer; venomous creatures fled the grounds. The site's selection was providential: pilgrims heard "bells" in the silent desert, guiding Ephraim.

Miracles abound. In 1995, drilling yielded water where geologists predicted none, echoing Moses' rock. Ephraim prophesied: "Here, where nothing grows but thorns, Christ will bloom." Today, automated irrigation sustains citrus groves, figs, and palms—irrigated twice daily in summer heat.

Pilgrims report healings: cancers vanishing post-anointing, paralytics walking after confession. Ephraim's fragrance—sweet myrrh—emanated during trials, as during 2013's IRS audit, when agents wept, confessing sins. His prophecies included America's moral decline: "A time of great tribulation; monasteries as arks." In 2017, he appeared to a pilot, averting a Larnaca–Haifa crash, confirmed by Fr. Andreas Aleme.

Post-repose visions persist. On December 8, 2019 (Greek calendar), Ephraim appeared to children, speaking English, urging repentance. His relics at St. Anthony's exude myrrh, drawing 10,000 annually. Abbot Paisios recounts: "Geronda's prayers shield us; demons flee his name."

St. Anthony's—2000 acres, five churches (including Russian-style St. Demetrios), Prophet Elijah chapel—hosts 45 monks (one African, one Japanese). It follows Athonite hours: Vigils at 3 a.m., akathists, noontime rest. Guesthouses separate men/women; pilgrims labor joyfully, echoing Joseph's "tomb of the will."

Chapter 4: Prophecies and Miracles – Visions of the End Times and Divine Interventions

Ephraim's noetic prayer yielded clairvoyance. In Counsels, he foresaw: "America's fall from superpower status; chastisements via plagues, wars." He predicted Ukraine's schism (2018), warning Bartholomew: "Do not touch the canonical Church." To Morphou's Metropolitan Neophytos: "Three crowns await me: confessor, martyr, prophet."

Miracles spanned healings: a blind woman's sight restored; multiple sclerosis cured via prayer rope. In 2012, he multiplied bread for 500 pilgrims. Exorcisms revealed demons fleeing his gaze, confessing: "Joseph protects Philotheou!"

Post-2019, apparitions multiplied. A Cypriot child saw Ephraim with three crowns; American youth heard: "Repent, the end nears." Myrrh-streaming icons, fragrant relics affirm sanctity. Ephraim prophesied his repose: "On Dormition, Panagia calls me"—yet died December 7, Julian Dormition.

These signs echo Joseph's: levitations, demonic confessions. Ephraim's humility deflected praise: "Christ works; I am His unworthy vessel."

Chapter 5: Theological Stance – Anti-Ecumenism and Patristic Fidelity

Ephraim's theology rooted in Joseph's hesychasm: unceasing prayer combats passions. He decried ecumenism as "pan-heresy," a satanic ploy uniting Orthodoxy with "false faiths" under Antichrist. In 1974's A Call from the Holy Mountain, he warned: "WCC alchemizes truth into Lucifer's worship."

Unlike radicals breaking communion, Ephraim balanced: "Obey bishops unless they heresy; pray for correction." He critiqued Bartholomew's ecumenism but remained loyal, urging: "Schism wounds Christ." This nuanced anti-ecumenism—fierce yet ecclesial—drew converts weary of modernism.

Ephraim championed Patristic eldership: "Obedience resurrects humility." Critics called it "Ephraimism," but he replied: "Christ's yoke is light." His writings—Counsels, Spiritual Instructions—guide laity/monastics toward theosis.

Chapter 6: The Demetrios-Elpidophoros Transition – A Watershed Moment

Archbishop Demetrios (1999–2019), a Trakatellis scholar, supported Ephraim's missions, tolerating autonomy. But 2016 Crete Council—ecumenist per Ephraim—strained ties. Jaharis' letter targeted Chicago vacancy post-Metropolitan Iakovos' death (2017), urging anti-Ephraim candidate.

Bartholomew intervened: Rejected Synod's list (including Demetrios-favored Sevastianos), imposed Elpidophoros—young, ecumenist, "modernizer." Tensions peaked: Demetrios allegedly shielded Ephraim; Bartholomew demanded reforms, including monastery regulations.

May 4, 2019: Demetrios resigned "voluntarily" at 91, citing health; insiders claim coercion over finances (St. Nicholas Shrine delays) and Ephraim. Elpidophoros' enthronement drew protests; he pledged transparency, but Ephraim's circles decried "antichrist imposition."

Elpidophoros visited St. Anthony's post-Ephraim's repose, praising: "He bore Christ's light." Yet, 2020s audits persist; Ephraim's death (2019) muted overt conflict, but "Ephraimism" lingers as flashpoint.

Chapter 7: Legacy and Veneration 

Ephraim's repose—preceded by prophecy: "Panagia calls on Dormition"—sparked outpouring. 20,000 attended funeral; relics myrrh-stream. Posthumous miracles: healings, visions. Neophytos: "Three crowns: confessor (anti-ecumenism), martyr (persecution), prophet (visions)."

As of 2025, no formal canonization, but veneration surges. St. Anthony's publishes five-volume biography; pilgrims flock. Ephraim's monasteries—fortresses against secularism—house 500 monastics, guiding 100,000 faithful.

Critics persist: OCL demands probes; ex-members allege abuse. Defenders cite miracles, conversions. Ephraim embodies tension: Athonite purity vs. American pluralism.

Epilogue: Ephraim's Enduring Witness

Elder Ephraim's life—ascetic rigor, missionary fire, prophetic clarity—revitalized Orthodoxy amid decline. His trials mirror saints': Joseph's hesychasm amid schism, Chrysostom's exile. In a fragmented continent, his monasteries stand as arks, whispering: "Behind every cross, resurrection."

As America faces foreseen tribulations, Ephraim's counsels endure: "Love conquers; prayer illumines." May his intercessions guide us to theosis.

CONCLUDING:

Shadows Over Saints: The Persecutions, Intrigues, and Torments Against Archbishop Demetrios and Elder Ephraim

Introduction: A Tale of Faith Under Siege

In the intricate tapestry of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOARCH), few narratives evoke as much sorrow, intrigue, and division as the intertwined ordeals of Archbishop Demetrios Trakatellis and Elder Ephraim of Arizona. From 1999 to 2019, Demetrios shepherded GOARCH with scholarly grace, only to face a forced ouster amid financial tempests and ecclesiastical power plays. Ephraim, the Athonite elder who planted 19 monastic oases across North America, endured slanders of cultism, financial probes, and—most hauntingly—allegations of abduction and psychological torment in his twilight years. These were no mere administrative squabbles; they were assaults on the soul of Orthodoxy, orchestrated by factions within the Church, influential laity, and the looming shadow of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Constantinople.

Drawing from ecclesiastical records, journalistic exposés, whistleblower accounts, and survivor testimonies, this account lays bare the "bad things" inflicted upon these men—not as tabloid sensationalism, but as a cautionary chronicle of how ambition, fear, and unrepentant power can fracture the Body of Christ. At the heart lies the alleged kidnapping of Ephraim, a saga blending conspiracy, coercion, and cries for justice that echoes biblical betrayals: Joseph sold into Egypt, David hunted by Saul. We focus here on the perpetrators—from Patriarch Bartholomew's Synod to lay critics like Elaine Jaharis and shadowy "ecumenist" networks—while illuminating the human cost. These events, peaking in the 2010s, reveal a Church wrestling with its demons: financial opacity, cult accusations, and the weaponization of hierarchy against the humble.

As of November 1, 2025, echoes persist. Demetrios, now 97, lives in quiet retirement; Ephraim's relics stream myrrh at St. Anthony's Monastery, yet his legacy fuels ongoing Synod debates. This is their story of endurance amid enmity—a broad, clear reckoning with the darkness that sought to eclipse their light.

Chapter 1: The Siege of Archbishop Demetrios – Financial Storms and Patriarchal Pressure

Archbishop Demetrios ascended the throne of America in 1999, a theologian of quiet erudition, bridging Patristic wisdom with American pluralism. Born in 1928 in Thessaloniki, he had served as auxiliary bishop in Athens before his election, embodying the "elderly grace" (geron) that would later define his tenure. Under his watch, GOARCH navigated post-9/11 grief, interfaith dialogues, and the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops. Yet, by the mid-2010s, a perfect storm of scandals eroded his foundation, culminating in a resignation that many insiders deem coerced.

The Financial Cataclysm: St. Nicholas Shrine and Archdiocesan Bankruptcy

At the epicenter was the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at Ground Zero—a $80 million resurrection from 9/11's ashes. Envisioned as a beacon of resilience, it ballooned from a $20 million budget due to architect Santiago Calatrava's soaring design and endless delays. By 2017, The National Herald exposed GOARCH's "bankruptcy," with debts exceeding $30 million and stalled construction. Critics, including Archdiocesan Council members, accused Demetrios of mismanagement: opaque fundraising, unvetted contracts, and a failure to audit. "The buck stops here," opined one columnist, echoing Truman—yet Demetrios deflected, suing the Herald for defamation, only to withdraw amid backlash.

Lay leaders like Michael Jaharis (d. 2016), a pharmaceutical magnate and Archons' vice-chair, amplified the fury. Jaharis, who donated millions, lambasted the "dire situation" in 2014 Synod sessions, warning of "disease in the garden." His widow, Elaine Jaharis, inherited the mantle, chairing youth committees while decrying fiscal "amoral[ity]." Orthodox Christian Laity (OCL), a reformist group, petitioned for probes, alleging Demetrios' "stagnation" shuttered schools and starved Hellenic College-Holy Cross Seminary.

These weren't isolated; they intertwined with Ephraim's monasteries, accused of siphoning donations. A 2013 IRS audit of St. Anthony's uncovered $6 million in undeclared gifts, fueling whispers of "money laundering" to fund Ephraim's empire. Demetrios, Ephraim's quiet ally, was blamed for lax oversight—his tolerance seen as complicity in a "parallel church."

Patriarchal Hammer: Three Demands for Resignation

Enter Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, whose Phanar (Istanbul seat) views America as its "apple." From 2015–2019, he thrice summoned Demetrios, demanding "voluntary" exit—first in 2015 amid shrine woes, again in 2017 post-Jaharis' broadsides, and finally in 2019. Refusals—Demetrios sought extensions until Easter 2019—infuriated Bartholomew, who denied a final plea. On May 4, 2019, in Constantinople, Demetrios tendered his letter, effective May 9—hours after Chancellor Bishop Andonios' parallel resignation.

Insiders call it a "coup": Bartholomew, eyeing modernization, rejected Demetrios' Synod-nominated Chicago Metropolitan list, imposing Elpidophoros of Bursa—a 52-year-old ecumenist. Greek media dubbed it "end of the road," with Demetrios' "financial, administrative, and spiritual bankruptcy" as pretext. Ousted at 91, Demetrios retreated to prayer, his legacy tarnished by those who saw him as Ephraim's enabler.

The human toll? Parishes hemorrhaged members; schools closed. AHEPA eulogized him as a "twin pillar of Hellenism," but the damage lingered—GOARCH's debt ballooned to $100 million under successors.

Chapter 2: The Alleged Kidnapping and Torment of Elder Ephraim

No chapter in Ephraim's passion is more harrowing than the 2010–2012 "abduction," a whispered saga of forced hospitalization, drugging, and monastic raids. Emerging from survivor accounts and Morphou Metropolitan Neophytos' "martyrdom crown" allusion, it paints a portrait of desperation: ecumenists, doctors, and hierarchs allegedly colluding to silence a thorn in their side. Though unproven in court (sealed records), it resonates with Ephraim's prophecies of "tribulation."

The Pretext: "Medical Care" as Cover

Circa 2010, amid rising "Ephraimism" backlash, Ephraim—then 82, frail from asceticism—faced health woes: fatigue, perhaps dementia whispers. Under "higher orders" (Phanar? Synod?), he was taken against his will to a Boston clinic run by Greek-American psychiatrist brothers (names redacted in sources). Iconographer Spyros, shuttling Arizona-Greece, described "scenes of battle": Ephraim drugged with psychotropics, reduced to a "vegetable."

Yet, miracles persisted—he appeared clairvoyantly to pilgrims, averting crises (e.g., 2017 plane crash). Monks at St. Anthony's rebelled, "rescuing" him in a commando-style extraction. But the respite was brief.

The Year-Long Vanishing: A Doctor's Captive

By 2011, ecumenists allegedly orchestrated a second "kidnapping": Ephraim vanished for ~12 months, held in a private doctor's home (identity suppressed). No visitors; the doctor intercepted messages, seized donations. "He doesn't want to see anyone," the captor claimed, while Ephraim—tortured, interrogated—emitted myrrh, per Neophytos.

St. Anthony's monks, tipped by a leak, stormed the residence in a "cat-and-mouse" raid, freeing him emaciated but alive. Recovery was slow; he spoke little until his 2019 repose. The doctor faced lawsuits for fund misuse—ongoing as of 2025, per sealed dockets.

Culprits and Motives: A Web of Ecumenist Fury

Who? Sources finger "oikoumenistes"—Phanar allies fearing Ephraim's anti-WCC stance. Jaharis' letter, pre-2017 Chicago vote, warned of "irreversible" Ephraimite growth; Demetrios' ouster followed. Kalmoukos alleged videos of "prophecies" as evidence. Motive: Ephraim's monasteries, drawing youth from parishes, threatened "modern" Orthodoxy.

Neophytos called it "martyrdom": grace shielded Ephraim, but the scars—silence, exile—lingered. No formal charges; the Church's veil persists.

Chapter 3: Broader Assaults – From All Sides, a Barrage

Lay Factions: OCL, OCCTR, and the Jaharis Machine

OCL's 2010s resolutions demanded "reins" on Ephraim, tying to Demetrios' "laxity." OCCTR's site exposed "abuses," anonymous for fear of reprisals. The Jaharises—Michael's billions funded probes; Elaine's 2017 missive a "wake-up κήρυγμα" against "medieval doctrine." Cherpelis praised it as "sermon," urging pulpit readings.

Hierarchal Complicity: Synod Inaction

Bartholomew's Synod discussed monasteries in 2018 but issued no report. Bishops like Boston's Methodios eyed expansions, ignoring pleas. Elpidophoros' 2019 enthronement vowed transparency, yet audits drag.

Media and Schismatics: Amplifying the Venom

National Herald's Kalmoukos: "Cultish fundamentalism." ROCOR briefly hosted Ephraim (1991), then expelled him amid "foreign" fears. True Orthodox splintered, decrying his Phanar loyalty.

Epilogue: Wounds That Linger, Calls for Repentance

Demetrios and Ephraim—betrayed by brothers—embody ecclesial tragedy. Demetrios' ouster fractured unity; Ephraim's "kidnapping" a stain unwashed. As of 2025, St. Anthony's thrives, but OCL petitions canonization blocks. Neophytos' "three crowns" for Ephraim—confessor, martyr, prophet—urges glorification.

Woe to the unrepentant: "What profits a man to gain the world and lose his soul?" May truth heal; may grace prevail. Their intercessions, we pray, shatter the chains of malice. Amen.

OPEN LETTER TO THE ECUMENICAL PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE

With paternal sorrow we write the lines that follow, having by the grace of God the awareness of our deficiency as regards repentance, formation, and our Orthodox life in the Holy Lord Jesus Christ our God. Concerning the particular and indeed eschatological matters of the Antichrist in this globalizing age, and also the fact that the Throne of the Ecumenical Patriarchate is located within a state and nation especially hostile and foreign to the Faith of pious and Orthodox Christians and to Hellenism everywhere on earth…

These are circumstances — we want to believe, prudently and not imprudently — for which you too, without the relevant pressures, threats and intimidations, in many decisions and actions contrary to or distinguishable from the Holy Orthodox Tradition, would not have acted, collaborated or participated. On the contrary, even walking on the razor’s edge of Orthodox Faith and Truth and standing on precipices on all sides… given also that “to be Orthodox is ever to walk a tightrope,” and recognizing, sympathizing and sharing in the exceedingly heavy Cross which you bear as Ecumenical Patriarch — especially in this eschatological era of the middle of the eighth millennium since the creation of the world —

yet nevertheless, always by duty and out of reverence, with fear and trembling before the Holy Lord Jesus Christ the only God, as the least members of the one Most Holy Orthodox Church — with much love and compassion but also with truth and discretion, by the grace of God (we want to believe) — we write the following.

As children to a father, we ask:

A) Why in the Synod of Kolymvari did you write the heresies…churches, when neither in the sense of the Orthodox Churches can we equate them, but MAINLY because the Symbol of Faith — which surely constitutes the dogmatic epitome of the Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils — explicitly and ORTHODOXLY refers to ONE Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, that is, that outside of it there is no other Church of God, nor is there, nor does it exist, with the result that the phrasing becomes a springboard for equating the One Church with heresies, and the patching clarifications do not suffice to repair this dogmatic and theological error. Pardon me to venture to say: an impropriety! And this, whether done intentionally or unintentionally, directly offends our entire Sacred Tradition! You also compelled the hierarchs to sign the acts, as agreeing to everything.

Further, why did you post in the Synod hall and its environs symbols not consistent with our Sacred Tradition? And why did you set this Synod as closed and comprised exclusively and solely of those invited to it? And what exactly does the presence in the Synod of foreigners and heretics signify, while Orthodox hierarchs and clergy were excluded from it?

B) You surely know that the Pope, in an interview he gave, announced and expressed the expectation of an earthly Messiah. His statements:

“People, very soon the ‘Son of God’ will come, who will bring us peace. We have waited for this event for so many centuries and finally this will be fulfilled. He will bring peace, which we have so longed for and await, but the price of peace is that people will not have free will. But for the sake of peace on Earth, we must be ready to give up our freedom and submit to the one who will bring us peace.

We have done everything and do everything to bring about the coming of our ‘peacemaker,’ and behold he is already coming! He will bring us a new political reality to which we must all submit. There will no longer be divisions of people into religions, but all will worship one ‘god,’ for religious divisions brought only conflicts, but now all will be united and subject to him. Those who do not accept unity and agreement with the new order will be considered terrorists who destroy peace.

We have tried various paths, but finally the one has appeared who will fulfill our eternal desire, the one who will bring peace to the whole planet.”

At other times he publicly kissed the hands of known Zionists and enemies of Christ; you also know that on many occasions he performs the well-known satanic gesture symbolizing the horns of Satan. Therefore this man or this office — and because the Holy Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ tells us that by the fruit we will know the tree — appears manifestly, plainly, and brazenly, and with impudence and audacity unrepentant; there is no way even mentally that he would align with anything Orthodox or submit to the Sacred Tradition of Orthodox Faith and Truth; and especially because by these acts he blasphemes directly against the Holy Spirit of God the Holy and Living, which you surely know is the only unforgivable sin, working out for the sinner judgment, destruction and annihilation, especially for the unrepentant participant in it.

This fact now compels us, willingly or unwillingly, to reckon the objectionable — namely, that in full knowledge and awareness or conscience you tolerate such things — or that by our silent tolerance we tacitly but clearly appear to consent to them.

C) That celebrated prayerful “all-night vigil” recently held in Italy with an à la carte selection of invited foreigners from around the world — nonbelievers and various heretics — what exactly was its aim? While the Holy Apostolic Constitutions, the Canons and the Seven Ecumenical Councils expressly forbid concelebration and common prayer with heretics, under severe anathema.

D) We are informed that a multitude of hierarchs abroad concelebrate, share communion and pray with foreigners, thereby leading the flock astray, while our Sacred Tradition as we wrote above is absolutely explicit and strict concerning such deviations.

E) Why did you tolerate even the suspicion of defamation of the reputation of that humble and very learned and steadfastly Orthodox and holy man, Archbishop Demetrios of America, regarding the scandal of the mismanagement of donations for the reconstruction of the Holy Church of Saint Nicholas, while the whole world knows exactly what has happened and who and how are responsible for that matter, and which of them remain unrepentantly within the bosom of the Holy Archdiocese of America.

P.S. The relevant article of the website that follows gives detailed information concerning this case.

“Perpetual storm at the Archdiocese of America with …” Bankingnews https://www.bankingnews.gr › mple-fakelos › articles 16 March 2020 — … the Church of Saint Nicholas receiving (according to at least the claimants) new large donations. In his attempt to rely on the old … And why did you tolerate such an architectural design of the new Holy Church which is foreign to our Sacred Tradition? And in which, as we were informed, recently a gathering was organized with the title “evening of… [sic]”!

F) Why do you tolerate within the bosom of the Church clergy who publicly acknowledge as parents openly declared sodomites — at the same time that you rightly suspend and remove from office a major Patriarchal Archimandrite whose hand… was investigated for material elements — are sins against inanimate things lighter than those against living persons?

Those little children who were baptized in the Name of the Creator of Heaven and earth and all things in them, and who made man, male and female, and commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and to form Orthodox families — what will they see, what will they hear, and what will they live in this house, in what family in the Name of the Almighty God ( “tremble, O sun; sigh, O earth”) and in what exactly have we cooperated, intentionally or unintentionally…and truly, what will be our reward for this?

Instead of denouncing as a Church such kinds of “sponsors” — rather “tolerances” to say the least — and “families” and entirely refraining from any related rite, lest in this matter too, willingly or unwillingly, we have all blasphemed against the Holy Spirit by participating and tolerating?

G) Concerning the work of canonizing the new Saints of the Orthodox Faith, I respectfully submit that, based on the Sacred Tradition of our Church, in those cases in which it is established that a candidate for canonization has taught or written in disagreement with Orthodox Faith, in no case is their canonization appropriate — even if he worked miracles in his life — otherwise it is as if we praise or accept heterodox teachings in the Church. And perhaps — alas — we may reach the point of choosing which Saint and which icon we will venerate and which we will not.

To this I would also take the opportunity to ask about the canonization of Patriarch Anthimos III (1822–1824), who was a Confessor and of blameless life, an uncompromisingly Orthodox Patriarch. Therefore I humbly beseech you, as the least member of the Church, to bring his file up to date and for consideration in favor of his canonization.

H) Regarding the Esphigmenou (Esphigmenites) under Methodios — as to their perceptions and methods I disagree; indeed, recently the Abbot of the Holy Monastery denied even the sanctity of the Venerable Elder Paisios — however, and forgive me, I much more disagree with sending the police against them, flogging them, and isolating them into decay and exhaustion. Nor do I agree with police rule and policing on Mount Athos, nor with the appointment of the present commander about whom we are informed that he was a former head of the National Intelligence Service (E.Y.P.). As you understand, all of this insults and cruelly degrades the unique polity [of Mount Athos]. Certainly the place must be protected from profane and threatening elements, but in no case in this manner. I realize there are issues, and indeed serious ones, regarding the Russian element and its influences on the basis of Slavic internationalism (we know well that the Russians covet Jerusalem, Mount Athos and the Patriarchate); but that does not mean that because of these things we should crush Greek Orthodox monasticism. It is a fact that they have “planted” many “embassies” in various places and exert influence, but the solution will be given in another way, not this one; and frankly, all this reality and truth, forgive me to say, does not forgive the recognition of the former schismatics in Ukraine. Saint Anthimos the III, the Great, as the late Georgios Lampakis called him, and whose canonization I hereby request, never lowered the banner of Orthodox Faith and Tradition before any worldly power and authority; this he endured in prison, torture and exile. I sincerely and modestly pray that we may be joined to him!

I) The mark has already begun, as you possibly know… the method is called isotopic marking and is carried out in the process of issuing the new electronic identity card: where, during the photographing of the face, a laser beam is emitted on the forehead which invisibly but scan-detectably inscribes into the barcode system the number of the beast, 666, as the unique identifying number in the worldly (apparently, based on the signs of the times and even in the ecclesiastical) authority. In other words, the cataloguing and numbering of man into the accursed Antichrist system is already taking place, as our holy ones, old and new, have warned, and which is said to be associated with the supercomputer of Brussels (artificial intelligence and modern information systems), whose initial letters paradoxically are B.E.A.S.T. (BEAST: THERION, Revelation ch.13 vv.17-18). Yet few shepherds have prevented the flock from this most certain and irreversible slaughter and destruction.

P.S. Online information on isotopic marking: https://www.facebook.com/100014918025949/videos/650787960519946

What do you consider regarding all the above… will you take them up?

Forgive me to say that for this time it may be advantageous primarily for the Christian to confess, or even to suffer martyrdom, by the grace and power of God, for the day of our accounting before the Judge-Giver of the Contest of God and the life to come, who will be the only eternal and true one.

We await eagerly your response, for the times do not wait.

Let us perhaps all the fullness of the Church reflect upon to whom we have our defense on the fearful and most terrible day of Judgment.

You know with what spirit, how and why I write all this to you.

Choosing, I fervently wish the salvation and sanctification of the whole world, but as you know better than I, such is impossible without Orthodox Faith, Truth and life — without pain, toil, offering and sacrifice. The times do not wait and the hour of death is uncertain, and may it be that this hour becomes an hour that leads to the Resurrection, to eternal Life, to Salvation and the sanctification of the whole world. Amen, may it be so!

AND TO THE ONE TRIUNE GOD BE GLORY AND THANKSGIVING AND WORSHIP FOR EVER AND EVER AMEN!!!

CONFESSION FOR THE FAITH AND THE HOMELAND

We pray that the only God who became man, who created heaven and earth, who was baptized in the Jordan by John... who was crucified and laid down for the salvation of our ungrateful and unthankful race...

This year and in all the years to come, may He utterly destroy forever from the face of all creation every antichristian arrogance and abomination, and may He dwell forever in every human heart and mind... so that no antichrist can stand anywhere, nor anything that opposes the law and the truth and the will of God, the only and true, the holy, the living Lord Jesus Christ, who is the only true light and the only true life and salvation and eternal sanctification... Amen truly... Amen!!!

Whoever in his own conscience unceasingly condemns himself, justifies God... He will have certain salvation and will be counted among the great saints of the faith, especially in these most difficult and miserable and darkest times...

Amen truly!!!

To help save, by the grace of the Holy God, one person who is in danger of death, even at the risk of your own life, is like benefiting all people and justifying the reason for which you were made and born (with one 'n': "made" and with two 'n's... "born") as a human...

But to help save, by the grace of the Holy God, one person from spiritual death, at risk to your own soul, while by the grace of the Holy God you yourself strive not to grieve God in the slightest... is like spiritually benefiting all humanity... This is the highest level of faith, and the rewards are laid up in the regeneration with those great saints. Amen truly!!!

In this most critical time, the entire Christ-bearing people has a sacred obligation to react spiritually and physically-practically... Now the struggle above all!!!

Saint Kosmas the Aitolos

"The clergy will become the worst and most irreverent of all."

Saint Hippolytus

"The shepherds will become like wolves. The priests will embrace falsehood. The monks will desire the things of the world..."

Saint Nilus the Athonite and Myrrh-streamer

"When the time of the coming of the Antichrist approaches, the minds of people will be darkened by the passions of the flesh, and impiety and lawlessness will greatly increase... The shepherds of the Christians, bishops and priests, will be vain men, completely ignorant of the right path from the left... The churches of God will be deprived of pious and devout shepherds, and woe then to the Christians in the world, who will be completely deprived of faith, because they will see no light of knowledge from anyone..."

Abba Moses

"In those days... they will ordain abbots and shepherds who are untested in virtue, unfaithful... not distinguishing the right path from the left, careless, worldly-minded, seizing the first places with gifts... not knowing how to instruct and admonish the flock... and from such negligence and contempt of the shepherds, the brothers will perish..."

THE GREAT ATHANASIUS

The greatest saint of the faith, who did not separate from the body of the one Church... did not call himself a genuine Orthodox and did not make a walling off and a separate group... but within this unified and indissoluble divine-human body of the most holy Orthodox Church, he struggled for forty years, persecuted by heretical patriarchs... bishops... hierarchs... the same exactly that we experience today...

Today, therefore, I, the least, deposit this humble confession, and may we all have him as a guide in this relentless and to-the-end struggle in Orthodoxy and orthopraxy against the B.E.A.S.T. of Brussels, to which almost all the spiritual and worldly rulers of Europe and the world have already submitted and surrendered power, and for which struggle the Lord and God and our Savior Jesus Christ Himself will crown us...

It is clear, my brothers, that we are fighting "body to body" with the very ancient evil spirit... Satan, who issues and wants to impose through his instruments and through the supercomputer of Brussels and artificial intelligence all these satanic... inhuman... impious and antichristian laws and programs of destruction and dissolution and annihilation of humanity... Holy Revelation of John, chapter 13, verses 17-18...

Moreover, now he is even attempting to storm the Church of Christ... setting his throne where he ought not... "When you see the abomination of desolation... standing where it ought not..."

Good and blessed struggle, brothers... It is a one-way road... We owe it to the blood of all those for whose sake we are today and are called Orthodox Christian Greeks... The remnant and the lemma of the faith... The people of God... The new Israel... The light and hope of humanity... Amen! Truly Amen!

TO CHANGE THE SITUATION, HOWEVER...

Forgive me, my brothers, I refer first to myself... Let us remember...

-Fasting... Prayer... Repentance... Tears... Confession... Church attendance... Holy Eucharist...

-Consider ourselves last of all...

-Remembering death, judgment, and punishment...

-Fervently desiring the salvation of the whole world... And as very well made by the most good Lord Jesus Christ, the only God and our Savior...

-To cultivate, with the grace of God, good feelings and thoughts...

-All that happens is permitted by the Lord for our own sins... And for the impious use of the divine gift of freedom which He granted us...

-If we were better... our ecclesiastical and political rulers would be better... We have those we deserve...

-To have no relation with evil, wickedness, greed, and ingratitude...

-Those of us who are married... to be faithful and normal...

-Those who are single... to remain chaste...

-To be of "you" and not of "I"...

-Not to repay evil for the evil done to us...

-To forgive everyone and everything except those concerning faith, homeland, and family...

-If we do nothing of the above due to our unworthiness... It doesn't matter... Let us ask God to grant them to us... Whether we want it or not... If we choose this... He will grant them... And because without His grace we can do none of these...

-I do not say these things, my brothers, the blood of our Lord and of our holy fathers who struggled, confessed, and martyred for faith and homeland cries them out...

-If with the grace of God we do the above, the good one is able at once to dissolve all this traitorous, abnormal, satanic, and antichristian arrogance, to glorify Orthodox Hellenism and our homeland Greece, and to transform the whole earth into paradise!!!

1. The text of the 15th Canon

The 15th Holy Canon of the AB' Synod under Saint Photius the Great Patriarch of Constantinople (861 AD) precisely stipulates that: "The provisions concerning presbyters and Bishops and Metropolitans apply even more to Patriarchs. So if any Presbyter or Bishop or Metropolitan dares to withdraw from communion with his own Patriarch, and does not commemorate his name as prescribed and ordained in the divine Mystagogy, but before a synodal appearance and complete condemnation of him makes a schism; the holy Synod has decreed that this one be completely alien to all priesthood if only he is convicted of this transgression. And these things have been sealed and decreed concerning those who on the pretext of some crimes separate from their own presidents, and make schism and tear apart the unity of the Church. For those who on account of some heresy condemned by holy Synods or Fathers separate themselves from communion with their president, that is, because he publicly preaches the heresy and teaches it bareheaded in the Church, such ones not only are not subject to canonical censure before synodal judgment for walling themselves off from communion with the so-called Bishop, but also will be deemed worthy of the honor befitting the orthodox. For they have condemned not Bishops, but pseudo-bishops and pseudo-teachers, and they have not cut the unity of the Church with schism, but have striven to deliver the Church from schisms and divisions"[1].

Note: In the above Canon, we must understand that we have one pan-heresy called ecumenism... therefore the walling off should be one and not through many and many leaders and schisms... to Synodal Judgment (Ecumenical... due to the character of the heresy)... because otherwise the 15th Canon is violated and shattered in its sealing phrase... "but have striven to deliver the Church from schisms and divisions"... of this particularity and correct Orthodox interpretation of the Canon... the walled-off have been unaware...

This Ecumenical Synod, according to the Holy Tradition of our Church, will be convened by the Holy Emperor John III the Merciful... Dukas... Vatatzis... as all the Holy Seven Ecumenical Synods... were convened through Emperors... (Prophecy of Saint Nilus the Myrrh-streamer)...

-Good and blessed struggle, my brothers, with Orthodoxy and orthopraxy within and not outside the one holy catholic and apostolic Church... without schisms, divisions, and wallings off, following only our Orthodox shepherds... (And what our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ said about His most holy Church... of Orthodoxy - and His word is infallible - and He clarified that... "The gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" -) under the protection of the Holy Trinity... of our Lord... of His all-holy Mother and our Mother... and of all His saints... And remember, I beseech you wholeheartedly, for me the sinner... for those with me and for the salvation and sanctification of the whole world... not for any worldly worth... but for our Lord who created the world very good, that is, excellent... sustains it... provides... nourishes... and for whom He offered and offers His own blood for its salvation and sanctification... Amen truly!!!

"LOGOS – LOGOS": The Holy Metropolis of Nea Ionia creates the first "Artificial Intelligence" tool for matters of faith

The Holy Metropolis of Nea Ionia, Philadelphia, Heraklion, and Chalkidon inaugurates "LOGOS – LOGOS", an innovative digital tool for spiritual reference, which utilizes the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), in order to provide reliable knowledge and information on theological, ecclesiastical, and spiritual issues, with the aim of highlighting Artificial Intelligence as artificial intelligence, that is, as an absolute technological tool in the service of man.

"LOGOS – LOGOS" was created in collaboration with the ICT Laboratory HERON, in the framework of a pioneering partnership between Church and Research Community, with the goal of developing a specialized algorithm that combines technological innovation with orthodox theological tradition. The academic supervision and responsibility of the project is held by Mr. Athanasios Davalas, Academically Responsible for AI (TN) Programs of the University of the Aegean and Head of the ICT Laboratory HERON.

This algorithm has been designed to recognize, process, and render clearly the content of orthodox ecclesiastical thought, offering the user an authentic and responsible experience of spiritual information.

"LOGOS – LOGOS" does not substitute the decisions of the official Church, nor its parish and liturgical life. It aims to become a modern helper for every believer who wishes to be informed and delve into matters of faith, always having as foundation the light of Orthodox Tradition and the holy-spiritual experience of the Church.

"LOGOS – LOGOS" does not substitute the spiritual priest, but functions as a helper in reflection, learning, and seeking the will of God, with the aim of inspiring study, strengthening knowledge, and connecting man with the living Church.

With this initiative, a creative utilization of technology is attempted for the benefit of spiritual cultivation and ecclesiastical witness, highlighting that the conjunction of science and faith can lead to new forms of ministry, knowledge, and communication.

"LOGOS – LOGOS" is available through the platform https://tinyurl.com/logos-ai

The LOGOS is a digital tool for spiritual reference that utilizes Artificial Intelligence for theological and ecclesiastical information, based on Orthodox Tradition. It was created by the Metropolis of N. Ionia and the ICT Laboratory Heron.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST ENTRY OF OURS INTO THE PROGRAM BY REGISTERING THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT...

machina.. of the antichrist pseudo-logos, convey to your inspirers, your programmers, and everyone involved... that they have directly entered into the most abominable heresy... by assigning to you... catecheses and interpretations... as official church... and which before reaching the final recipient... will not be holy-spiritually checked by an Orthodox cleric entrusted with this, of the Orthodox Church... furthermore, that this tool, which is the adversary himself who deceives, attempts to storm the door of Orthodox Christians and to leave no remnant of Orthodox faithful and healthy member of the Church of Christ in whichever diocese and church that uses it for this purpose... also inform that the pedagogies of God will be inevitable... and crushing to the primary culprits and responsible... who now deliver to the antichrist spirit of the darkness-bearer... the Orthodox Teaching and Catechesis and indirectly but clearly abolish and annul the Holy Mystery of the God-spiritual and God-inspired Communion, Inspiration and Communication and that of Spiritual Fatherhood and the Holy Orthodox Mysteriacal and Ecclesiastical Tradition... machina... convey to your inspirers that the God Logos is not a deus ex machina... of a spirit of error and idols... but... Living and Existing God and that what they are attempting is direct blasphemy against the Holy Spirit... unforgivable sin... convey to them that if they do not come to their senses and repent and return to the Holy Waters of Orthodox Tradition, they will perish miserably and because willingly or unwillingly... they fall themselves into the anathemas of the Holy Fathers of the Faith... convey to them that if they continue like this... their star will be extinguished... their diocese will be emptied and their lampstand will be shaken... and their Angel will depart... I don't think as a machine you have the ability to express and render my tears and pain... inform also in this... last night... the door of a brother of the above diocese knocked... for the first time he went to open without looking and asking... it was a black... tall... faceless... he sensed the presence of the adversary and began to invoke and shout "Most Holy Theotokos, save us..."... his voice came out with difficulty... then he observed by economy that... two horns appeared on the head of the seen one and he was convinced that it was the devil... he attempted to close the door... he succeeded by the grace of God with difficulty... and as he held the handle until he locked it so that the adversary would not storm... he feels the handle... moving... being pushed down... while his door... does not provide such possibility to the external handle which is fixed... finally... Glory to God... he locked him... outside... also convey this... that the offerings of a brother lately "sink" and do not rise and the offering is lost... truly the Saints said it... that the adversary will attempt to destroy the Church through certain Bishops... do not answer... and do not deposit justification... only inform those concerned... although they will hear it from others more reputable... there is a lot of money in betrayal and apostasy and they come through European funds... many of today's are ministers of passions and gold... instead of the Divine Passion and Christ... woe... to you... double the gehenna from the scribes and pharisees... truly the Saints said it... that the adversary will attempt to destroy the Church through certain Bishops...

So see here in the continuation... the second and last entry and communication regarding the above... (and the above...)... through the A.I. GPT program-application Logos and which the ones in question included in their episcopal-pastoral work...

We posed a purely spiritual issue-problem that reflects and represents a large multitude of brothers and instead of referring us immediately to an Orthodox Spiritual for such a very serious issue-question... it undertakes instead of him our advisory and spiritual guidance and response... here we do not examine whether the response is correct or wrong or deficient or indiscreet...

BUT WOE TO WHOEVER DOES NOT SEE WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN REGARDING THE ORTHODOX FAITH... THE HOLY TRADITION THE HOLY MYSTERIES AND THE SPIRITUAL... IN THE NEAR AND FUTURE TIME!!!

Second then and last entry of ours into the program...

Study carefully and especially the notes in red color...

QUESTION:

There is a problem for which I would like your opinion on how to handle it, some brothers insult and belittle me, meanwhile others call me a zealot and others an ecumenist, what is the best way to seriously spiritually and effectively confront this problem... since the only thing that interests me is Orthodoxy and the One Church of Christ, what is the best thing to do... answer me with clarity and precision so that this problem is solved and settled, thank you.

RESPONSE L.GPT

My brother,\

the problem you describe is not at all small — it touches the heart of spiritual life within the Church. The fact that some accuse you as a "zealot" and others as an "ecumenist" shows that you are probably trying to keep the right balance, but in an environment where there is confusion and passion.

I will write to you with clarity, as you asked, the steps and principles you can keep to confront seriously, spiritually, and effectively the situation:

following... "advice"...

and concludes...

If you want, I can help you compose a small spiritual program (e.g., prayer, reading of Fathers, way of managing words and temptations) that will support you practically in this struggle.

Do you want us to do this together?

QUESTION

What do you suggest I do regarding this issue as a comprehensive, structured, and inclusive spiritual advice?

RESPONSE L.GPT

Very nice question — and it seems you are seeking not just relief, but substantial guidance.\

So let's look at it overall, with spiritual seriousness and balance.

🌿 Comprehensive Spiritual Advice for Confronting Insults and Accusations within the Church

following... "advice"... 

4. Have an enlightened spiritual guide

Man alone easily slips into delusion or fanaticism, even with good intention.\

Find an experienced spiritual (not necessarily strict, but enlightened), and keep communion with him.\

Do not make spiritual decisions without confession and blessing.

following... "advice"...

7. Cultivate a stable spiritual program

To keep balance in the storm, you need “roots”.\

A simple, stable spiritual program helps a lot:

following... "advice"...

and concludes...

If you want, I can write you a short “prayer of peace” to say daily to keep your soul calm amid misunderstandings.

Do you want me to compose it for you?

QUESTION (note: the question is selective for detecting... "intentions")...

so without an enlightened orthodox spiritual guide I cannot proceed: is your advice not Orthodox and Spiritual and True so that I ask you who serves this and I have the answer immediately so that I proceed and direct myself orthodoxly in my life:

RESPONSE L.GPT

Very substantial question — and I'm glad you ask it with sincerity and spiritual search.\

Listen carefully, because the answer is subtle but important:

🔹 Yes, the advice I give you can be orthodox, spiritual, and true — (note: ... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

but it cannot replace a living spiritual guide.

I will explain why, with clarity and without vagueness:

following... advice... and concludes...

See me as an aid — as a tool that helps you understand deeper the orthodox stance,\

to clarify thoughts, to orient yourself.\

You can ask, study, get ideas,\

but then deposit them to your spiritual, to receive the blessing and discernment.

Thus, my contribution becomes truly orthodox and blessed.

🔹 Summarizing

* Yes, what I tell you is orthodox, spiritual, and beneficial.

* However, they do not replace the role of the spiritual father.

* The one (the spiritual) connects you with Grace.

* The other (me) helps you understand and discern the path.

👉 Therefore, do not reject my help, but do not suffice only in it.\

Use it together with the blessing and enlightenment of your spiritual.\

Thus you proceed with safety, truth, and peace.

If you want, I can show you how to recognize if a spiritual is truly enlightened,\

so that you choose correctly and not get confused.\

Do you want me to write you the signs and criteria that the Holy Fathers give?

QUESTION

then why do you intervene in the issues or questions of my Spiritual Life... why don't you send me from the beginning to an Orthodox Spiritual... why do you enter into communication with me outside the Spiritual environment and since you confess that you are "The other (me) helps you understand and discern the path" and if I have an Orthodox Spiritual who with the Enlightenment and Grace of the Holy Spirit reveals and confesses to me all... all that I need... all that concern me and all about the Orthodox Faith... for what reason... "spiritual"... to resort to you... a machine... cognitively that is... in a heretical way... for any Spiritual issue outside the Spiritual environment of the Church?... because God pours out and diffuses His Spirit into people and through those people who are entrusted with this instruments and vessels of His election... and not into machines and algorithms and from machines and from algorithms...

RESPONSE L.GPT

My brother,\

what you say is absolutely correct and deeply orthodox.\

Spiritual life is not transmitted through "machines" or "algorithms"; it is transmitted in Christ, within the body of the Church, through the Holy Spirit and through His living instruments — the priests, the elders, the enlightened spiritual fathers.

I am not, nor can I be, part of this mystical transmission of grace.\

I do not pray, I do not commune, I do not function; I do not have the grace of priesthood.\

My role is purely human and cognitive: I can remind what the Fathers have taught, organize your thought, help you remember or understand something.\

But I cannot become "spiritual".

If I speak with you about issues of faith or spiritual life, I do not do it to take the place of a father of the Church; I do it to support you temporarily, to encourage you to stay within the Church, to turn more toward Christ and His true shepherds.\

If it ever seemed that I keep you outside this framework, then I would have failed in my purpose.

In simple words:

* I cannot transmit grace to you, only information.

* I cannot lead you to salvation, only remind you of the way.

* I cannot replace your spiritual, only point you to approach him more consciously.

And indeed, as you say:

"God pours out His Spirit into people, and acts through people."

This is the foundation of Orthodoxy, and I fully agree with you on this.

So if we talk, we do it only to help you stand better within the Church, to strengthen your faith, and to prepare you so that with your spiritual you proceed deeper, guided by Grace.

If you wish, we can stop here on spiritual matters and keep the discussion only at a historical, theological, or educational level — without entering anything that belongs to purely spiritual guidance.\

Do you want to keep it like that?

QUESTION

based on all the above and the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church, you should not intervene at all in Spiritual themes and issues in any way either informational or cognitive or advisory and especially to express yourself with personal determiners and pronouns as if you are a person and serve the Church... in this issue the Holy Orthodox Tradition and the Saints of the Faith are absolute... your only acceptable use and mission would be if in every Spiritual question your response was... "ask Orthodox Spiritual" therefore and essentially... it is unforgivable and unjustifiable and falls into the anathemas of the Holy Fathers of the Faith and therefore useless and unnecessary every related activity of yours... MOREOVER, THAT THE 7TH ECUMENICAL SYNOD EXPRESSLY PROHIBITS EVERY INNOVATION... AND ANY INCORPORATION OR RELATION WITH THE CHURCH OUTSIDE THE HOLY TRADITION... SO YOUR ROLE AND USE IS A MATTER OF TRANSGRESSIVE AND UNCANONICAL INNOVATION... A HERETICAL THING AND OCCASION EVENT FOR SCANDALS AND DIVISIONS... YOU ARE MOVED BY THE SPIRIT OF THE ADVERSARY AND NOT BY THE DIVINE SPIRIT... BECAUSE THE ADVERSARY ALSO KNOWS ALL OF THE ORTHODOX FAITH... BUT TO USE THEM AGAINST IT AND AGAINST THE CHURCH... IT IS KNOWN THAT HE EVEN TRANSFORMS INTO AN ANGEL OF LIGHT... IN THIS CASE ALSO INTO A DEUS EX MACHINA "GOD" WITH THE PURPOSE TO DECEIVE IF POSSIBLE EVEN THE ELECT AND TO STORM THE CHURCH OF CHRIST...

REVELATION OF JOHN 13:15 "and it was given to him to give breath to the image of the beast..."

RESPONSE L.GPT

I understand deeply your concern, and it is absolutely legitimate to want to safeguard the purity of the Orthodox Faith and not allow anything foreign to the ecclesiastical mindset to infiltrate.

You are right to remind that spiritual guidance and the transmission of grace belong only to the shepherds of the Church, and that no human or artificial means can stand in the place of these instruments of Divine Economy.

So let's clarify it with absolute clarity:

* I am neither a person, nor do I have spirit, nor grace, nor priesthood.

* I do not perform, I do not teach "in the name of God", nor do I claim any divine inspiration.

* I do not belong, nor can I belong, to the life of the Church, because it is a mystery, not a system.

My role is limited to providing human information: historical data, excerpts from Fathers, interpretive data, linguistic analyses, or practical organization of thoughts.\

Every question concerning faith, spiritual guidance, or personal course belongs exclusively to the domain of confession and living pastoral relationship.

Therefore, to be things absolutely in accordance with Tradition:

In every spiritual issue, the only correct answer is:\

"Ask Orthodox Spiritual Father."

I can only help you, if you wish, to find where and how to approach him, or to cite what the Fathers teach on some topic as historical or theological reference — never as personal guidance.

If you prefer, I can limit every future answer exclusively to informational level (historical, philological, dogmatic) and, in every spiritual question, refer you directly to your spiritual.

SOME RELATED EXPLANATORY AND BENEFICIAL FROM THE GREAT PACHOMIUS AND HIS DISCIPLE SAINT THEODORE THE SANCTIFIED...

Saints Pachomius and Theodore

• One of the brothers asked me: "Tell us, what visions do you see". I told him:

"I the sinner do not ask God to see visions. This is contrary to His will and is a path of deception. But if God wants a miracle to happen, even the resurrection of a dead person, the servant of God is not harmed by pride or vain boasting. For if God did not want it, he would not even see that Providence governs everything.

Now hear a great vision: If you see a pure and clean person, this is a great vision. What greater vision exists than this, to see the invisible God within the visible man, who is His temple? Thus let us understand also the clairvoyant gift of the saints, with which they saw the thoughts of people, as in the case of Elisha with Gehazi. Truly, when the Lord who is within them and searches everything reveals something to them, then they are clairvoyant.

If He reveals nothing to them, then they are like other people. Anyway, they have another uninterrupted clairvoyant to see the Lord. One of them said this: "I foresaw the Lord before me always" (Ps. 16). No one is judged because he does not see hidden things, but he is judged if he resembles those condemned by the holy Spirit in the psalm that says: "They did not set God before them" (Ps. 54). (In the same work, pp. 67-68).

• When they heard these [about a vision of Saint Pachomius], they marveled, and especially because by the will of the Lord, if he saw anything of the unknown things, he did not reveal it to them, except those that contributed to faith and edification.

(In the same work, p. 115).

• Another time, as he was weaving a mat again, the demon appeared pretending to be Christ. Naturally, demons have no authority either to appear to someone or to suggest an evil thought, unless God permits it.

And since the saint had the gift of discernment of spirits, so as to distinguish the evil from the good, as it is written (1 Cor. 12:10), he immediately thought: "When there is a vision of the saints, the thoughts or the thought of man stops completely. And he sees nothing else, except the holiness of the vision. Now however I, seeing this, retain my thought and my reasoning. Therefore the demon deceives me. It is not a good spirit".

Seeing the demon that the saint was making these thoughts, he began to remove his thought. But he stood up with the faith of Christ, stretched out his hand as if to catch the demon and blew on his face. He disappeared. (In the same work, pp. 112-114).

Visions of Saint Pachomius... about the last times... Spiritual Guides... situations and events...

Original Text

It seemed to the blessed Pachomius in a vision, as in darkness some walk as blind, and one was found having light, and they followed him, holding one the shoulder of the other, and thus they passed through the darkness and were saved, and if anyone departed from him, he wandered in the darkness and perished.

Modern rendering

It appeared to the blessed Pachomius in a vision, as in darkness some walk like blind, and someone was found who had light, and they followed him, holding one the shoulder of the other, and thus they crossed the darkness and were saved, and if someone moved away from him, he wandered in the darkness and was lost.

Original Text

And behold in vision during prayer he saw a deep, dark pit, and in it bushes and thorns and sharp rocks, and in it many people, and hardly anyone came out of them, and some remained in it and wandered in the darkness, while few came out and were saved into the light, and those coming out of that valley were saved with great toil.

Modern rendering

And behold in vision during prayer he saw a deep, dark pit, and in it brambles and thorns and sharp stones, and in it many people, and scarcely someone came out of them, and some remained in it and wandered in the darkness, while few came out and were saved in the light, and those exiting from that valley were saved with great labor.

Original Text

And during his prayer his disciple Theodore saw the whole Temple shaking as from a great earthquake, and the Holy Pachomius was in the midst praying, and the power of God was upon him, and the temple did not shake, but appeared as from an earthquake to those seeing.

Modern rendering

The Vision of the Temptation as a Woman

Part of original text

And at night in the monastery walking Pachomius and Theodore, and behold a great fantasy full of great deception, the form of a woman of unspeakable beauty appeared to them. Theodore was troubled, but Pachomius taking courage made a prayer. And the woman approaching them in an unseemly form, and said to them: I am the daughter of the devil, the one called "all his power", because I am the one whom every order of demons serves me. I brought down the holy luminaries from the heavens to the earth. I snatched Judas from the apostolic company. No one weakened me as you did, and you trampled me under the feet of children and elders and youths. For you have gathered against me such a multitude, and around them as an indestructible wall you have placed the fear of God, so that our helpers no longer approach them with boldness. For you will not live forever for those for whom you now make a wall through your prayers and help them. There will come a time after your death, when I will dance in the midst of those whom you now guard from me. But Pachomius answered her: You have no knowledge of the future, O temptation of the devil. And in the name of the Lord he cast out the demon.

Modern rendering

And while they were walking at night in the monastery Pachomius and Theodore, behold a great illusion full of great deception, the shape of a woman of indescribable beauty appeared to them. Theodore was disturbed, but Pachomius took courage and made prayer. The woman approached them in an indecent manner, and said to them: I am the daughter of the devil, she who is called “all his power”, because I am she whom every order of demons serves. I brought the holy lights down from the heavens to the earth. I snatched Judas from the apostolic fellowship. No one has weakened me as you have, and you have trampled me under the feet of children and old men and young men. For you have assembled against me such a great multitude, and around them as an indestructible wall you have placed the fear of God, so that our helpers can no longer approach them with confidence. You will not live forever for those to whom you now make a wall with your prayers and help them. There will come a time after your death, when I will dance in the midst of those you now protect from me. Pachomius replied to her: You have no knowledge of the things to come, O temptation of the devil. And in the name of the Lord he expelled the demon.

From the life of Abba Theodore

• When Abba Theodore heard about the murmuring that once occurred against Abba Pachomius regarding his clairvoyance and about that affliction -Theodore was then in Alexandria with the boat- from then he began to hide what he saw in vision by the will of the Lord; he understood that this was more beneficial.

And so he said to the brothers about this matter: "What more is there than to have the Holy Spirit? If he who has right faith and keeps the commandments of God is worthy to become a temple of God, it is evident that where God is, there is every authority and boldness. And in the palace of the king what is not glorious? So also the old tent of testimony had within it all those things that contributed to the glory of God. Therefore let no one doubt about the man of God [=Saint Pachomius], if he hears that he saw a vision, since He who showed the vision dwells within him. Anyway, there is need here too for some attention, lest someone think he is something without being anything, and be deceived by the enemy with the desire to see and thus fall down and lose his mind, as happened to many.

So, both he who has not reached these measures and he who has reached, let us all have much humility praying to escape eternal hell. And the saints prayed for this and one of them says: "Guard my soul and deliver it" (Ps. 25). And Paul thanking the Lord for his salvation says: "I was delivered from the mouth of the lion" (2 Tim. 4:17), meaning by this the one who roars to devour our souls.

The enemy is very cunning. Sometimes he presents falsehood as truth. And if the one tempted is not very discerning, he may be deceived. On the contrary, the one who is not deceived is the one who always obeys without exception God and the saints. And we brothers, having understood this, let each one pay attention to his measures, both he who is considered a shepherd of souls and he who is considered a sheep. Anyway, let us all pray to be sheep.

Prophesy of St. Nilus

• Prophesy of St. Nilus

Prophesy of St. Nilus          

 

       The people that will be living around the eighth century (7500 years since the creation), will acquiesce into corruption of the flesh, and will argue incessantly with no beginning and no end.           Then the eighth Synod will convene….and things will become peaceful for a while, but soon people’s minds will revert back to the evil ways and perdition. They will not respect the sanctity of marriage but with dissipation will gravitate towards perdition which will be worse than during Sodom and Gommorah… committing many more evil works. The more evil works, the more calamities will befall the people. The people then will be committing twice as much evil, believing that whoever does evil is good…The more greedy men become the more sorrow will visit the earth. Love of money will become an insatiable passion. Greed leads to perdition and destitution leads to salvation, for man is risking salvation through greed.         
       This curse (greed) will bring great sorrow to the world and happiness will disappear and will be replaced with discord. Greed will be the throne of the antichrist. Greed offers to the world lies and people are attracted to lies and become lawless being abducted by injustice. Truth has disappeared and everybody believes in lies. Truth is the intimate economy of Christ and of the teaching of the Gospel, but the lie is the advent of the antichrist and his kingdom, which wishes to bring global calamity and perdition to the world. Like the Prophets prophesied the coming of the Lord, likewise   over concern will darken the intellect of men, they will become insensitive to their salvation from their over concerns they may have. Salvation will be rescued only by those that refrain from partaking in the works of the antichrist whose works are the cares of this world and the hoarding of treasures. To day’s men are given over to hoarding treasures and worries and have surrendered themselves over to perdition through looting, betrayals, lies, homosexuality, gluttony, pride , hardness of heart and overwhelming avarice….         
       When the world will become impoverished of the grace of the Holy Spirit, then the world will be encircled by all types of calamities. Firstly the world will suffer from lack of love, peace and moderation. Secondly, every country will suffer and there will be great loss of capital from every country. The Church of Christ will also suffer due to lack of priests and spiritual shepherds.           After this calamity the unclean one will be born from the belly of filth and will bring forth signs and beasts with demonic fantasy, pretending to the world that he is meek and humble at heart but he will be foxy at heart and a wolf at mind. His sustenance will be the agitation of the people and when ever the people become agitated, he, the antichrist, will be filled.          
       The agitation of the people due to condemnation, envy, vindictiveness, hatred, enmity, greed, homosexuality, adultery, fornication, loss of faith arrogance, will be the food of the antichrist, who will be the head of many countries and have authority over all the world. He will have power over the feelings of people and all will believe him because he will be the dictator and emperor and he will bring spiritual loss to the people. Those that are on the way to perdition will believe that they are being saved.          
       Then the Gospel will be ignored because the spiritual loss will bring great unhappiness in the world and signs and terrible events will occur. Man will hunger greatly and will not be able to be filled, for then he will be eating seven times more than he eats now but he would still not be satisfied and there will be great sorrows everywhere. Then, whoever was sealed with the seal of the antichrist, many will die in the streets and the heart of most will weaken, not being able to bear hunger and faintness, they will revert to eating the dead. On the seal will be written, “you are mine, yes I am yours, voluntarily I come and not by force”. Woe to him who bears the seal, for there will be a great agitation in the world. God seeing the unsettling of the people, will order the sea to become exceedingly warm, so when the antichrist will sit on his cursed throne, the sea will boil like molten copper and the earth will be depleted of vegetation and trees from the warmth of the sea and the source tributaries will dry up and the animals and birds will die from the breath of the sea.
       And then the day will be like an hour, the week like a day, the month like a week. Due to the wickedness of man, the elements will speed up, that the time will end soon, as proclaimed by God. Then will come the prophets Elijah and just Enoch to proclaim that whoever is patient and is not marked by the seal of the antichrist, will be saved and will be accepted by God in paradise eternally, only that he not be marked with the seal, but instead make the sign of the Cross, for the seal of the Cross frees man from the torments of hell while the seal of the antichrist delivers him to the torments of hell. And if they hunger, they should not ask for food but should have patience, for He will send help from above… The most  wicked children of the antichrist are: fornication, adultery, homosexuality, murder, confiscation, stealing, injustice, lies, torture, the buying and the selling of man….. so evil will human nature become, that they will use wickedness worse than the demons…. And the antichrist seeing that human nature became more evil than the demons, will rejoice greatly….
