Document: "We call Cyril a false patriarch, a heretic, an apostate." An open letter from Athos monks of the Russian Orthodox Church and MP in connection with the "new course" of Patriarch Kirill

“I express my heartfelt thanks to His Holiness Francis…”

From the speech of Patriarch Kirill at the meeting of relics

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker

From the very beginning of his reign, the Jesuit Francis, calling not to focus on canonical norms and aspects of the dogma, began to actively seek "renewal" of the forms of priestly service, setting his own behavior as an example. Having abandoned the traditional style of communication and form of behavior, the pontiff began to allow himself the most extravagant acts and statements that confuse devout Catholics and shock unbelievers.

He visits priests who have left the ministry to start a family in order to demonstrate his "closeness and love" to them. He meets with same-sex couples, as he did during his trip to the US in September 2015, when he granted an audience to his former homosexual student and his "partner" and deliberately kissed them in the presence of the media (while dad himself called before visiting his student, expressing a desire to meet, and this meeting was clearly intended for the public and looked like a symbolic gesture). Just as openly, on camera, during his visit to Sicily, he entered the temple, holding the hand of the Italian priest Luigi Ciotti, a well-known fighter for the rights of perverts. In the presence of journalists, he kissed the hand of another ardent supporter of homosexuality - the priest Michele de Paolis, during the celebration of his anniversary in the House of St. Martha. The pontiff embraced him with the words "everything is possible", so that the hero of the day left, being extremely touched. De Paolis is a co-founder of a gay organization called AgedoFoggia (2010), which opposes Catholic teachings on family and marriage. His approach to this issue is based on the usual assertions of perverts: homosexuality is not chosen, it is an orientation and part of personal identity, it is not a disease or a perversion, so homosexuals can enter into close relationships. Since the fact of the meeting of the pontiff with such a figure aroused bewilderment among a certain part of the believers, they asked the head of the press service of the Vatican to clarify the meaning of what happened, but did not receive an answer.

Francis appoints as his advisors liberal archbishops who speak out in support of same-sex marriage. He makes increasingly radical statements in support of sodomites, as he did in June 2016 at a meeting with journalists, when, commenting on the words of Cardinal Marx that the church should apologize to the gay community, he said: “ We have to apologize for many things, not only to gay people. But we should not just apologize, but ask for forgiveness". Not surprisingly, the pope remained silent when Cardinal Marx was heavily criticized in August 2016 for the publicizing of a case of sexual abuse in the diocese of Trier, which he ruled from 2001 to 2007.

His words and deeds so impressed the pervert community at the beginning of the pontificate that in 2013 four American magazines, known for their commitment to decadent libertarian culture, chose him as "Person of the Year". This was first done by the Italian edition of the American magazine Vanity Fair, on the pages of which sodomite singer Elton John stated: “ Francis is a marvel of humility in an age when vanity flourishes. I hope he gets his message across to people on the margins of society, such as homosexuals. This pope seems to want to bring the Church back to the ancient values ​​of Christ... ". Another sodomite, the famous German couturier Karl Lagerfeld, also admitted in turn that he “loves the new pope very much, who has a wonderful look and a great sense of humor”, while admitting that he himself “does not need the Church” and “the concept of sin and hell." In December, "man of 2013" Francis has been proclaimed by Time and The Advocate, the oldest publication in the US advocating gay rights. It explained to its readers that the pontiff's proposals are "the most hopeful ever put forward against gays and lesbians" and that thanks to him "LGBT Catholics are now full of hope that the time has come for change." With the same title (“Pope Francis: Times Are Changing”), an article about the pontiff was also published in the pop magazine Rolling Stone, with his photograph on the cover.

So the destroyers of traditional values ​​made the pontiff a symbol of change, the embodiment of absolute openness towards the modern era, which became another insult to the dignity of devout Catholics. But "tolerant" bishops and priests felt much freer.

Against the background of such a deep interest in perverts, the indifference of the pontiff to the Liturgy and the neglect of liturgical norms and liturgical singing became especially provocative. He made changes in liturgical practice, refusing to take part, together with the Christian people, in the procession with the Most Holy Gifts during the celebration of the Body and Blood of Christ, and did not kneel during the entire service. But in the rite of washing the feet on Maundy Thursday, he began to allow not only male parishioners to participate, but also women, among whom was a transsexual. In fact, the pontiff took advantage of the priesthood in order to promote feminism. He shocked even long-suffering believers when, in 2016, he went to celebrate Maundy Thursday Mass at the Center for Migrants, many of whom were not Christians, but Muslims. Even Catholics accustomed to multicultural shows were struck by the spectacle of the pope celebrating mass on a makeshift altar in front of a crowd of onlookers who do not understand the essence of what is happening, chewing gum and listening to the player, crossing his legs and filming it on expensive smartphones.

Moreover, Francis made it clear that liturgical practice would be subject to further changes. Already in October 2013, the pontiff purged the Congregation for Divine Worship, surrounding its head, Cardinal Sarah, with his people and introducing into it, including Archbishop Piero Marini, who is a supporter of a radical modernization of the liturgy. Then, at the behest of Francis, a commission was set up to destroy, as observers say, “one of the strongholds of resistance to the excesses of post-conciliar liturgists,” the 2001 Liturgiam authenticam instruction, which established the criteria for translating liturgical texts from Latin into modern languages. Some believe that with the establishment of this commission, the most radical ideas of modernizing the liturgical language will meet with support, and the instruction itself will be destroyed, which will pave the way for the revision of the document Summorum pontificum, developed under Benedict XVI, which removed restrictions on the celebration of mass in the ancient rite.

The pope’s rude words cannot help but amaze the laity, such as, for example, about the parishioners, with insufficient joy, from his point of view, those present at the liturgy: “ How disgusting - these Christians with twisted faces, sad Christians. Muck, muck, muck. Yes, they are not quite Christians. They consider themselves as such, but they are not fully»; or how about the dissemination of fake news in the media: " People have a morbid tendency to coprophagia».

The statements of Francis in sermons, interviews and conversations, his thoughts set forth in his books are imbued with moral and ideological relativism and even indifference, testifying to his rejection of the Catholic faith. Here are just a few of them.

With regard to atheists, he "has no proselytizing intentions," since "proselytism is pompous nonsense that makes no sense. We must be able to get to know each other, listen to each other and increase knowledge about the world that surrounds us.” " Each person has their own understanding of what is good and evil. Let him follow the good as he understands it ... This is enough to live in a better world. "People who do not believe in God will also be saved." “The Lord saved us all with the blood of Christ: everyone, not only Catholics. Everyone! “Father, and even atheists?” Yes, them too. Everyone!" “The Church is not against sex education. Personally, I believe that it should accompany the development of children, adapting at each stage. “I am not interested in whether the child is studying with Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox or Jews. I'm interested in being trained and fed».

Many were shocked by the sensational statement of Francis, sounded during a sermon about St. Peter, who baptized the Gentiles, regarding aliens: “St. Peter converted the barbarians to God's faith, despite the fact that they did not treat Christians very well. I fully support his act ... Imagine that Martians will fly to us tomorrow. They will be green and with big ears, like in children's drawings. And suddenly one of them will say: “I want to be baptized.” What are we to do then?" Declaring that the Bible does not discriminate against believers on any grounds, he continued: When the Lord shows us the way, do we say, “No, God, this is unreasonable! We'll do it our way." Who are we to close our doors to anyone?» . It seems that when Bergoglio's team reformulates the dogma of papal infallibility, the question "Who am I?" or "Who are we?" he won't have it again.

One of the characteristic features of the "teaching" of Francis was the blasphemy that he commits, absolutely arbitrarily interpreting the text of the Gospel. In one of his speeches, he stated: When Jesus complained “My God! Why did you leave me?” - Did he blaspheme? This is the secret. Very often I listened to people who have experienced difficult, painful situations, who have lost so much or feel alone and abandoned, and who asked: “For what? For what?". They rebelled against God. And I answered them: "Keep praying like that, because this is also a prayer." Since when Jesus said to the Father: “Why did you leave me?”, it was precisely a prayer". That is, according to Francis, it turns out that Christ, turning to God with such a prayer, rebelled against God.

We see the same conjectures, which do not correspond to the traditional interpretations of Holy Scripture, in relation to the Mother of God. During one of his sermons, Francis stated that the Holy Virgin Mary experienced rebellious feelings at the foot of the Cross after His death and considered that the promises of the Angel during the Annunciation were false and that she was deceived. Here is what Francis says: She was silent, but in her heart how many words she spoke to the Lord! You told me that day that he would become great; You told me that You would give him the throne of David, his father, that he would reign forever, and now I see here! Virgo was human! And, probably, she wanted to say: Lie! I was deceived!».

Francis loves to give free interpretations and personality of Judas, about whom he spoke many times with sympathy and pity, in the spirit of the Gnostic "Gospel of Judas", which has become popular since the time of Benedict XVI. In one of his sermons, he stated: He was a bishop, one of the first bishops, right? Lost sheep. Poor thing! Poor brother Judas, as Don Mazzolari called him in his beautiful sermon: “Brother Judas, what is going on in your heart?”". On another occasion, referring to the same Don Mazzolari, Francis, completely incorrectly explaining the significance of the sculptural image on the capital of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene in Vézelay (France), concludes: " On the one hand, there is depicted a strangled Judas ..., and on the other side of the capital - Jesus the Good Shepherd, Who carries him on his shoulders, carries him with Himself. It's a secret. But these people in the Middle Ages who taught the catechism with images, they understood the mystery of Judas. And Don Primo Mazzolari had a good speech... This priest... well understood the complexity of the logic of the Gospel. The one who got the most dirty hands is Jesus. Jesus messed up the most. He was not “clean”, but he came out of the people, was among the people and accepted people as they were, and not as they should have been.».

So, hiding behind the meaningful word "mystery", in this case referring to "poor Judas", Francis, passing off an unknown figure as Christ, casually again committed blasphemy. As one of the Catholic bloggers wrote, commenting on this "merciful" interpretation of the image of Judas, " one should not be surprised if sooner or later Bergoglio expresses doubts about the devil himself: he will tell us that in the end the devil was good and God will forgive him, in accordance with the aspirations of Origen and the delusions of the Cainites».

When evaluating the statements and behavior of Francis, it is important to note that he understands very well what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is not an ignoramus or a superficial and mediocre intellectual with no experience in the performance of high official duties. As a Jesuit, he studied Catholic doctrine well, which is evident from the fact that all his heresies and false ideas are accompanied by the correct provisions of traditional teaching, which makes it difficult for an illiterate person to understand the essence of distortions. We are dealing with the cunning and insidious enemy of Christianity, whose words and deeds are deliberately subversive and provocative and are aimed at desecrating Christianity and destroying those spiritual and moral principles that still remain in the life of orthodox Catholics.

Francis himself stated his mission thus: The Second Vatican Council ... decided to look into the future in the spirit of modernity and open up to modern culture. The Council Fathers knew that this openness to contemporary culture was synonymous with religious ecumenism and dialogue with non-believers. Since then, little has been done in this direction. I have a humble and ardent desire to do so.».

Indeed, we see that the "dialogue" led by Francis is effective only in relation to non-Christians and enemies of Christianity, while in relation to those who are trying to somehow resist the destructive processes in the Catholic Church, there is not even a hint of mercy. Francis is irritated by traditional morality, dogma, liturgy, which he perverts, resorting to his favorite methods - defilement, ridicule, scandal and profanity, plunge into despair of Catholic believers. As researcher Miles Christie writes, “ a person who blasphemes and commits blasphemy systematically, openly and skillfully, having deeply studied Catholic dogma, perfectly managing the media space, cynically using the moral influence that provides him with the enormous prestige of his religious authority, such a person, I would say, can only act under direct and by the voluntarily accepted influence of the prince of darkness, the prince of this world, the father of lies...».

Sooner or later, this connection between Francis and the father of lies was bound to come to light, which happened during his morning sermon on April 4, 2017 at St. Martha's Hotel. Significantly, the Vatican Radio report on this speech removed the most shocking statements from it, but they are present in the presentation of L'Osservatore Romano, published on the Vatican website and translated by the Free Catholic Gazette. Speaking about the attitude of Christians to the cross and the sign of the cross, the pontiff correlated the words of Christ " When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am”(John 8, 28) with the first reading of the Mass (Numbers 21, 4-9), which tells the story of a bronze serpent made by Moses in the wilderness, so that those stung by snakes, whom the Lord sent against the people of Israel as a punishment for their grumbling and unbelief, looking at him, could be healed. Explaining this parallel, Francis turned to that passage from the Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, which says of Christ: For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that in Him we might become the righteous before God."(2 Corinthians 5:21). However, he used another translation of this phrase: "he who knew no sin he made sin." As a result, Francis used the expression “became a sin” seven times and, playing on the New Testament analogy of Christ’s “ascension” on the cross with Moses’ ascension of the copper serpent in the wilderness, declared that since the bronze serpent can be a symbol of the tempting serpent and the devil, then Christ, therefore, "took the form of the father of sin" and "became the devil."

Here is what L’Osservatore Romano writes: “The serpent,” the pope continues, “is a symbol of evil, a symbol of the devil; he was the most insidious of animals in the earthly paradise.” Since "the serpent was one who was able to deceive by means of deceit," he is "the father of lies: and this is a mystery." But what does it mean that we “should look to the devil in order to be saved? The serpent is the father of sin, the one who caused mankind to sin.” In fact, "Jesus says, 'When I am lifted up, all will come to Me.' Obviously, this is the mystery of the cross.” “The bronze serpent healed,” says Francis, “but the bronze serpent was a twofold sign: a sign of the sin committed by the serpent, a sign of the seduction of the serpent, the deceit of the serpent; but he was also the sign of the cross of Christ, he was a prophecy.” And “therefore the Lord says to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am.” Thus, says the pope, we can say that "Jesus 'became a serpent', Jesus 'became sin' and took upon himself all the abominations of mankind, all the abominations of sin. And He “became sin,” He gave Himself to be lifted up so that all people would look at Him, people wounded by sin, ourselves. This is the mystery of sin, and this is what Paul says: “He became sin” and took the form of the father of sin, the treacherous serpent.” “Whoever did not look at the bronze serpent, being bitten by a snake in the wilderness,” the Pontiff explained, “died in sin, in the sin of murmuring against God and against Moses.” power of God, who became sin to heal us, will die in his own sin.” For “salvation comes only from the cross, but from that cross, which is God made flesh: there is no salvation in ideas, there is no salvation in good intentions, in the desire to become good” ... The cross - he says further - “for some is the hallmark of belonging : "Yes, I wear a cross so that it can be seen that I am a Christian." “That's not bad,” but “it's not only a badge, like a team emblem,” but “it's a memory of who became sin, who became the devil, the serpent, for us; degraded to complete self-abasement.”

Finally, Francis said something that expresses the very essence of his worldview, which is based on the gnostic teaching of Freemasonry, which equalizes good and evil, black and white. Under these words, the Theosophists would readily subscribe, considering the tempting serpent as their god. Their mentor E. Blavatsky also openly demonized Christ, passing Him off as Lucifer: “Demonest Deusinversus”, “Logos and Satan are one”, “Lucifer is the Logos in its highest aspect. The Word is the firstborn The Word is the reborn brother of Satan. In the best traditions of Gnosticism Francis abundantly applies Christian concepts and plots, filling them with non-Christian content.. Putting a veil of "mystery" on the gospel text and staying, as it were, in the aura of the initiate, he gives him his own, false and perverted interpretation, replacing with himself the entire patristic tradition. This is an expression of a werewolf religion, the final approval of which will lead to when, in the words of the Theosophist E. Bailey, "there will be no divergence between the only Universal Church, the Sacred Lodge of all Masons and a narrower circle of esoteric societies."

And Patriarch Kirill calls this werewolf "the most holy."

‹ Questions to the priest ‹ His Holiness Patriarch

His Holiness Patriarch

Why is the Patriarch called the Most Holy?
Not a single saint called himself a saint, but considered himself a great sinner. Christ said that John the Baptist is the highest among those born of women, but the least in the Kingdom of God. John himself said that he was not worthy to untie the strap of Jesus' shoes. If the Patriarch calls himself His Holiness, then he places himself even higher than John. Doesn't he fall into delusion in this way? Orthodox do not like that the Pope considers himself a god on earth. Doesn't the Patriarch do the same when he calls himself His Holiness? Will he exchange treasures in Heaven for earthly rewards? As Christ said: "He already receives his reward."
What to strive for if you are already the Holy One?

Such a title, and it does not refer to a person, but to a dignity. No, you are already in charm. I think I explained everything that this refers to the rank, and therefore does not give the right to consider oneself a saint. Understand God!

TO CHURCH COURT

OF THE MOSCOW DIOCESE

We demand that the Bishop of Moscow, Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Kirill (Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyaev) be brought before the Church Court for his consistent crimes against piety and truth, leading to a split in the Russian Orthodox Church.

On February 8, 2016, representatives of the Spiritual Security Service filed an application with the church court against the bishop of the city of Moscow - Patriarch KIRILL (Gundyaev Vladimir Mikhailovich). According to the Canons of the Church, namely Canon 90 of the Council of Carthage, after a canonical appeal to the Church Court, the bishop remains “out of communion” with the right to present evidence of his “innocence” within a year.

.
What does this mean for us? What are the consequences of this appeal to the church court should be?

.
Canon 15 of the Holy Local Council of Constantinople (394) says the following: “What is determined about presbyters and bishops and metropolitans, that very thing, and most of all, befits the patriarchs. Therefore, if a presbyter, or a bishop, or a metropolitan, dares to abstain from communion with his patriarch, and will not exalt his name, according to a certain and established order, in the Divine sacrament, but before the conciliar announcement and complete condemnation of him, he will cause a schism: such the holy council determined to be completely alien to any priesthood, if only he would be convicted of this lawlessness. However, this is determined and affirmed about those who, under the pretext of certain accusations, depart from their primates, and create schisms, and break the unity of the Church. For those who separate themselves from communion with the primate, for the sake of some heresy, condemned by the holy councils or fathers, when, that is, he preaches the heresy publicly, and teaches it openly in the church, such even if they protect themselves from communion with the verbal bishop, before conciliar consideration, do not not only are they not subject to the penance prescribed by the rules, but they are also worthy of the honor befitting the Orthodox. For they did not condemn bishops, but false bishops and false teachers, and did not cut short the unity of the church by schism, but strove to protect the church from schisms and divisions.”

.
This rule has two parts. The first part forbids the termination of the commemoration of the patriarch before his conciliar condemnation, the second leaves honor to the Orthodox who have separated from communion with the patriarch if he openly teaches heresy in the church.

.
Thus, canon 15 prescribes the commemoration of the patriarch before his conciliar deposition, even when he teaches heresy in the church openly. This may seem strange and even insulting, but one must very carefully delve into the essence of the Canons of the Church in order to understand the given definition of the Ecumenical Council.

.
The fact is that the Church treats with special reverence the Sacrament of the Priesthood, through which the divine power in the Church is transmitted. When we commemorate a patriarch with the words His Holiness or a bishop - His Grace, we are referring primarily not to the humanity of the person in question, but to his divine sanctification received by him in the Mystery of the Priesthood. In addition, stopping the commemoration of the patriarch and visiting churches where he is commemorated BY DEFINITION puts Christians in the position of “renegades”, which deprives them of the right to continue the canonical accusation of their bishop and participate in Councils. The good “renegade”, to whom the second part of Canon 15 points, can only pray and wait for the decision of the Council with the condemnation of the heretic, after which he will be able to enter into church communion with the new primate, but all other canonical actions are prohibited to him according to the Rules.

.
Rules of the Holy Ecumenical II Council, Constantinople

.
6. Inasmuch as many, wishing to confuse and overthrow the Church deanery, with hostility and slander, invent a certain guilt on the Orthodox bishops ruling the Churches, with no other intention than to darken the good head of the priests, and cause confusion among the peaceful people; For this reason, the Holy Synod of Bishops gathered in Constantinople decided: not without investigation to admit accusers, not to allow everyone to bring accusations against the rulers of the Church, but not to forbid everyone. But if someone brings some personal complaint against the bishop, that is, a private complaint, somehow, in a claim to property, or in some other injustice suffered from him: in case of such accusations, do not take into consideration either the face of the accuser, or his faith. It is fitting in every possible way for the conscience of the bishop to be free, and for the one who declares himself offended to find justice, no matter what faith he may be. But if the guilt brought against the bishop is ecclesiastical, then it is appropriate to examine the face of the accuser. And firstly, not to allow heretics to bring accusations against Orthodox bishops in church matters. We call heretics both those who have long been declared alien to the Church, and those who, after that, are anathematized by us; besides this, and those who, although pretending to profess our faith soundly, but who have separated themselves, and gather assemblies against our rightly appointed bishops. Also, if any of those who belong to the Church, for some fault, were previously condemned and expelled, or excommunicated from the clergy, or from the ranks of the laity: and let them not be allowed to accuse the bishop until they clear themselves of the accusation to which they themselves fell. Likewise, even from those who themselves have previously been denounced, denunciations against the bishop, or against others from the clergy, may not be acceptable until they undoubtedly show their innocence against the accusations raised against them. But if there are some, neither heretics, nor excommunicated from the communion of the Church, nor convicted, or previously accused of any crimes, they say that they have something to report on the bishop on church matters: such a holy Council commands, firstly, to present their accusations to everyone bishops of the region, and before them to confirm with arguments their denunciations against the bishop who was subjected to an answer. If, however, the bishops of the united dioceses, more than hopefully, will not be able to restore order, according to the accusations raised against the bishop: then let the accusers proceed to a greater Council of the bishops of the great region, for this reason convened; but not before can they insist on their accusation, as if they put themselves in writing under pain of the same punishment as the accused, If, in the course of the proceedings, they turned out to be slandering the accused bishop. But if someone, having despised, on preliminary inquiry, the decreed decision, dares either to trouble the royal ear, or to disturb the courts of worldly rulers, or to disturb the ecumenical Council, to insult the honor of all the bishops of the region: let such one by no means be acceptable with his complaint, as if he had insulted rules, and violating Church deanery.

.
Thus, it is most effective to choose the first part of Canon 15, to go to churches where the patriarch is commemorated, to participate in the Sacraments, which gives us the power to simultaneously demand his deposition through the Church Court and the Council of Bishops. Moreover, “it is open in the church” (from the pulpit) while heresy is not being preached.

.
On behalf of the SPIRITUAL SECURITY SERVICE, I ask everyone to refrain from the first part of the 15th rule of the Local Council of Constantinople so that we do not lose your votes during the conciliar deposition of heretics in the Church's fence.

.
The only thing that cannot be done after filing against the patriarch in the Church Court is to pray with him, to accept his sacred service, blessings from him and from the bishops ordained by him after February 8, 2016. Patriarch Kirill is prohibited from serving under the 90th Canon of the Council of Carthage after the case has been filed with the Church Court.

.
After the disclosure of all his atrocities, meeting with the heresiarch, illegal participation in the wolf cathedral, a part of honest bishops will stand out, who, according to our appeal to the Church Court, will collectively condemn the heretics and anathematize them.

.
The refusal of the bishops from the sacred power of condemning heretics gives the Local Council of Pious Laity the right to condemn all these heresies in aid of the subsequent Council of Bishops.

.
BUT FOR THAT, WE MUST STAY ON THE CHURCH SHIP.

.
Help us God and the Most Holy Theotokos through the prayers of all the saints!

.
With the request of holy prayers,
Head of the SPIRITUAL SECURITY SERVICE
Valery Sutormin

“We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29)

Dear brothers and sisters, for the sake of clarity, let us write once more about our position.

We try to act according to our conscience, drawing examples from the patristic heritage of our Orthodox Church. Fulfilling the command of the Apostle: “Be always ready to give an account to everyone who requires you to give an account of your hope with meekness and reverence” (1 Pet. 3:15), we openly say that we are members of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The Russian Orthodox Church, as part of the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, is the True Church of Christ our God with the grace-filled Holy Sacraments and the grace-filled hierarchy.

The Russian Church for us is the Mother Church. While denouncing heresy and heretics in the Russian Church, we have never asserted that our Church is without grace. The members of the Church are the patriarch, bishops, priests, monks and laity. And if one of the members of the Church falls into heresy, all the rest do not automatically become heretics.

We have never called for a schism, but have always affirmed and continue to affirm that the purity of the Orthodox Faith must be fought within the bosom of the Church, without going into schism. Why do we denounce "Patriarch" Kirill today.

The main reason is the heretical documents signed by "Patriarch" Cyril in Chambesy and the declaration at the airport of Havana, in which the pan-heresy of ecumenism is recognized as the teaching of the Orthodox Church, after which many bishops and priests ceased to consider ecumenism a heresy.

The Chambesian documents were approved by the Council of Bishops (February 2-3) and recognized that in no way "violate the purity of the Orthodox Faith and do not deviate from the canonical tradition of the Church." We do not agree with this and testify that the Council of Bishops approved heretical ecumenical documents, and the bishops present at the council committed a betrayal of the Orthodox Faith.

As for the meeting in Cuba, we denounce the declaration signed there, which affirms heresies and spells out words that are completely alien to the Church of Christ. Namely: the heretic pope is called "The Most Holy Pope of Rome", the hierarchy of heretics is recognized on an equal footing with the Orthodox, as true and real, the papal heretical assembly is called the "Catholic Church" and contrary to the 9th member of the Creed, it is already in the order of things that they speak and write about "two Churches" that should strive for "unity".

We called the signing of this declaration a union with Satan and the legalization of the religion of Antichrist. The reason is that St. Cyril brazenly and treacherously trampling on the Sacred Dogmas and Canons, the patristic heritage, the traditions of the Russian Church, asserts not only in words but also in deeds that heretics and heresies no longer exist, that heretics are his “brothers”, but heretical gatherings - "churches".

Meeting with the heretic Jesuit Francis, calling him "brother", "humbled" before him, signing a joint declaration with the enemy of God, the false patriarch Cyril tramples on the words of the Holy Scriptures: "Do not bow under another's yoke with the infidels, for what is the communion of righteousness with lawlessness? What does light have in common with darkness? What agreement is there between Christ and Belial? Or what is the partnership of the faithful with the unbelievers? (2 Corinthians 6:14-15).

We call St. Cyril a false patriarch, according to the 15th canon of the Two-Time Council of Constantinople: and protect themselves from communion with the said bishop, prior to conciliar consideration, not only are they not subject to the prescribed rules of penance, but they are also worthy of the honor due to the Orthodox. For they condemned not bishops, but false bishops and false teachers, and did not cut short the unity of the Church by schism, but strove to protect the Church from schisms and divisions.

We call the false patriarch Kirill a heretic, because he openly preaches the pan-heresy of ecumenism and infects other members of the Russian Orthodox Church with his wickedness.

“Heresy is a veiled rejection of Christianity” (St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov)).

We call the false patriarch Kirill an apostate, because he tramples and rejects the Orthodox Faith, professes faith in a single "God" with Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and other pagans. The false patriarch Kirill, together with the Jesuit Francis, with the false patriarch Bartholomew and other ecumenists, is preparing the religion and "church" of Antichrist. All these three are the servants of the Antichrist and the rest of the ecumenists are the executors of the satanic Vatican doctrine.

The religion of Antichrist is dangerous because outwardly no one will force you to renounce Christ or change your faith, there will be no changes in dogmas letter by letter, there will be no union in its former form, there will be no unification of religions into one. This is too rude and will alienate not only the Orthodox, but also representatives of other faiths.

A new religion is being preached, and all that is required of you is to agree that all religions have a single "god", that others have the truth, and that each religion goes to "him" in its own way. Remain "Orthodox", only admit that there are no more heresies, heretics and apostates - "we are all children of God" (Jesuit Francis).

The acceptance of this devilish lie is the renunciation of the Holy Trinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the Orthodox Faith and the Orthodox Church! Acceptance of this diabolical lie is the legalization of the religion of antichrist!

Everyone thinks that St. Cyril met with the "Catholic Pope". But there are no more Catholics! There is the Vatican, whose doctrine is the foundation of the religion of Antichrist. The recognition of the “pope” as a brother, the recognition of him as a bishop, the recognition of the “Catholic Church” - this is the recognition of the diabolical teaching of the Second Vatican Council, and the legalization of the religion of the Antichrist!

That is why we affirm that: The apostate false patriarch Kirill concluded a union with Satan!

“If we consider the faith of those who believe outside the Church, it turns out that all heretics have a completely different faith; even, strictly speaking, they have one fanaticism, blasphemy and debate, hostile to holiness and truth ”(Priest Martyr Cyprian of Carthage).

“Watch and pray so that you do not fall into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41).

The Orthodox are obliged today to preserve their Faith, which heretics and apostates are trying to replace, blurring, erasing, abolishing the boundaries between the truth of God and the devil's lies, between Orthodoxy and heresies, between piety and wickedness!

“Even if we or an angel from heaven preached to you a gospel other than what we proclaimed to you, let him be anathema” (Gal. 1:8).

“Let everyone be worthy for you, except for the one who teaches heresy. If he turns out to be a heretic, then let us try not to accept either teaching or communion from him, and not only will we not receive communion from him, but we will condemn him and denounce him with all our might so as not to be involved in his death ”(St. Joseph of Volotsky).

While testifying that St. Kirill is a heretic and apostate, we do not assert that the Russian Church has become graceless because of him. Not! Lord, don't let this go! We call on everyone: to pay attention to the deeds and words of an apostate from Orthodoxy, to stop communicating personally with him and with all those who support him, to reject the godless ecumenism - the religion of Antichrist, which he introduces into the Russian Orthodox Church. He will be deposed by the Orthodox Council or the rigorous Judgment of God (which he had already been warned about when, during the flight to Antarctica, armored glass was shattered into smithereens in the cockpit).

The experience of Mount Athos shows that the application of the 15th rule is possible today. For example, in 1965, after the “removal” of the anathema from the papists, Patriarch Athenagoras on Mount Athos was no longer commemorated by several monasteries. The forgetfulness lasted for several years. During the termination of the commemoration of Patriarch Athenagoras, the other bishop of the Svyatogortsy was not commemorated.

The way of not remembering the primate or the bishop because of heresy is not a schism, but a canonical action of the clergy to guard against heresy and prevent schism. The clergy who do not remember do not join another jurisdiction and do not create their own parallel synod, but await the Orthodox Council, at which the issue of a patriarch or bishop who has fallen into heresy will be decided.

There are the following practices of not remembering:

a petition is raised for the patriarch without mentioning his name;

according to another practice, instead of commemorating the patriarch, a petition is lifted up “for every bishopric of the Orthodox”, both at litanies and at the Great Entrance.

Both practices of non-remembrance are practiced on the Holy Mountain today.

We are now writing about those who do not commemorate St. Bartholomew, but belong to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, to which Mount Athos now belongs. These are not the monks of the monastery of Esfigmene or other zealots. On the issue of non-remembrance, I talked with some Abbots and Elders on Mount Athos. The opinion of the majority: “that St. Bartholomew should not have been commemorated for a long time”, “that they commemorate him, gritting their teeth”, “despite the fact that he is commemorated, if he does not repent of his apostasy, he will not be saved.”

The main reason that only a few of the Svyatogorsk Fathers embark on the path of not remembering the false patriarch Bartholomew is as follows: “there is no trust between monks today”, “today there is no reverend. Maximus the Confessor". On Athos, just as in our Russian Church, there is human fear among the monks and abbots. Alas, even the monks of the Svyatogorsk are afraid that they can be expelled from the monastery or cell, for not remembering the false patriarch.

On Athos "there are monks who support St. Bartholomew and they will quickly report to him", "after that I will be removed from the abbess and expelled." I asked: Geronda, is it possible not to commemorate him? This is right? “Yes, you can not remember him. For a long time it would be necessary not to commemorate him, only there is no trust between the monks today.”

Unfortunately, human fear also fetters the monks so much that when I asked to record on camera the beautiful words spoken against ecumenism and the “Wolf Cathedral”, the Abbot, with whom I spoke, refused. There are a lot of zealous monks on Athos, but what is the reason that they do not stop communication with the heretic St. Bartholomew, and for many years only admonish him with polite letters, which he completely ignores, we do not know. For the confession of their Faith, each will give an answer to God. But Athos is the Lighthouse of Orthodoxy, and if this Lighthouse is silent and does not shine for the Orthodox, then there will be great ruins, to which we are witnesses.

After all, if Athos had called a heretic a heretic in time and stopped communicating with him, then this would not have untied the hands of the apostate to infect and poison many with his diabolical ecumenism. All the heretics and apostates in the universe would tremble from the Cathedral voice of Mount Athos. And Orthodox Christians all over the world, if they saw that the Guardian of Orthodoxy - Holy Athos raised his Voice against ungodliness and heresy, they themselves would act more boldly in the struggle for Holy Orthodoxy!

Because of not remembering the false patriarch Bartholomew, Father Raphael, me, the sinful Onufry, and two other brothers, were recently asked to leave our hermitage on Athos. It is sad that we will no longer be able to labor there and serve in our Royal Church. We ask for your humble prayers so that the Most Pure Mother of God will grant us another hermitage in Her Garden. The brethren remained in the Tsar's skete, but they were required to commemorate St. Bartholomew. The service will not be there.

We have been commemorating His Beatitude Patriarch Irenaeus of Jerusalem for a long time, and we do not commemorate Saint Bartholomew. Recently they stopped commemorating St. Kirill. Patriarch Irenaeus and I spoke on the phone several times and received his blessing. This is what they advised everyone who enters the path of confession and applies the 15th canon to do.

Today, when the path of non-remembrance is becoming the main way of opposing the all-heresy of ecumenism - the religion of Antichrist, it is necessary that there be unanimity between non-remembering priests. The question of whom and how to commemorate, after the commemoration of St. Cyril ceases, worries every priest.

Before the Orthodox Council of the Russian Church, at which the issue of the false patriarch Kirill and the heresy of ecumenism will be resolved, in order to maintain like-mindedness and unanimity among those who do not remember, we propose to commemorate according to the Svyatogorsk tradition: Any bishopric of the Orthodox or His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, without mentioning the name of Kirill .

We propose to draw up a Synod and commemorate at St. Proskomidia, at the congratulatory litany and at home prayers: Patriarch Irenaeus of Jerusalem, Patriarch Ilia of Georgia, Metropolitan Athanasius of Limassol and other faithful Archbishops, as well as all priests embarking on the path of struggle for the purity of the Holy Orthodox Faith.

The opinion that when the commemoration of the false patriarch ceases, it is imperative to find another bishop and commemorate it, is erroneous and unfounded. We think that this is the personal opinion of the author of the letter, which is published.

Canon 15 gives us the right not to commemorate a patriarch or bishop who has fallen into heresy and apostasy, but the Sacred Canons, their interpretation, the reasoning of church canonists, and Svyatogorsk Tradition do not indicate or oblige to commemorate another bishop. Having a lively and visual Svyatogorsk tradition, as the 15th rule is applied today, we propose to adhere to this path. We do not leave the Russian Orthodox Church and do not commemorate a false patriarch until the Orthodox Council, for the sake of preserving the purity of the Faith and rejecting heresy. We do not create new synods or join other jurisdictions.

We address with a warning to the Orthodox laity who, out of jealousy for God, stop going to churches where St. Cyril is commemorated. Brothers and sisters, be very careful not to blaspheme the grace of the Holy Spirit while rejecting heresy and heretics. Do not say that the Russian Church, Bishops, Church Sacraments, Liturgy, churches and Divine Services are without grace. This is not true! Do not say that there is no grace of God here or there, lest you sin and blaspheme the Holy Spirit.

Expose heresy and heretics, do not associate with them. And love the Russian Church, the Russian Archpastors, priests and laity, and pray for them. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ, mutual love, peace and unity will help us survive! Be very careful if you are without a confessor, without a priest, so as not to go into schism.

When you hear that someone blasphemes and condemns the Russian Church, says that there is no longer grace there, that the Sacraments are no longer performed, quickly move away from this, he is not on God's path. Pray to God and the Most Pure Mother of God that we all be saved and come to the understanding of truth.

For more information about our Confession of Faith: “General retreat and the path that the Holy Fathers show us!”

The time of separation has come when every Orthodox Christian will make his choice - to follow Christ with a cross or follow the false patriarch Kirill, becoming an advocate of heresy and lies, or simply silently agreeing with the betrayal of the Truth of Christ. The Way of the Cross is the way of the small flock, the way of exile, blasphemy, accusations of schism, the way of sorrows, but this is the way of salvation.

The path of conciliation with heresy is today the official, crowded, path of the majority, well supported by the media, ridiculing the Orthodox as extremists and zealots, the path of conciliation is the path of preaching “brotherly” love for heresy and heretics, the path along which the false patriarch entails souls into the “church” of Antichrist and into eternal perdition.

And no matter how difficult, painful and mournful it is, every Christian is obliged to make his own choice, on which the salvation of his immortal soul will depend. The Lord tells us: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Matthew 10:34). “Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but separation; for five in one house will be divided, three against two, and two against three.” (Luke 12:51-52) The division that has to happen is not new, it goes through all the ages of human history.

This is the division between the Divine Truth and obedience to God on the one hand, and the deception of the evil one and the violation of the Divine law on the other. Today, when the grace-filled vessels of the Holy Spirit are extremely rare and everyone personally does not have the opportunity to consult with the Elder, it is especially important to resort to the Holy Fathers of the Orthodox Church and check with them their words and deeds, as well as the words, deeds and new teachings that are planted in the Orthodox Church .

Check with the Holy Fathers both our words and actions, and when you see that we are acting against the Truth, we ask you, for the sake of Christ, do not be silent, but tell us directly so that we will improve and bring spiritual benefit, and not harm to our spiritual children and everyone who trust us.

The criterion of Truth is not a patriarch, not a bishop, not a priest, not monks, not popular veneration of a respected confessor, and not the opinion of the majority. The criterion of truth is Truth itself - our Lord Jesus Christ (cf. John 14:16), His Divine words in the Holy Gospel, the words and teachings of His Holy Apostles, in which the Holy Spirit speaks, the Sacred Dogmas and Canons of the Orthodox Church and the patristic heritage of the God-bearing Fathers.

Dear brothers and sisters, all of us who wish to preserve the purity of the Orthodox Faith have a strong and invincible Helper - God in the Holy Trinity, the glorified and worshiped Father and Son and the Holy Spirit! The Mother of God and the entire Heavenly Triumphant Church are with us! God and the Protection of the Virgin are with us! With us are our Holy Fathers and their heritage - patristic creations that will help us to keep the Truth of Christ intact; help us recognize, reject, and denounce heresy and apostasy!

Today, if we hear the justification of the ongoing apostasy - the planting and acceptance of heresy and heretics, from whomever it may be, we must answer with the words of the Apostle: “Judge whether it is fair before God to listen to you more than God?” (Acts 4:19).

Let all apologists and advocates of false patriarch Kirill and ecumenism watch this video.

Do not argue with them, ask them only two questions: Do you have a common faith with St. Cyril? Do you believe in the same “God” that St. Kirill believes in?
