Signatures of Athonite Monks for the Cessation of Commemoration of Patriarch Bartholomew (2017)
Holy Mountain, 11 January 2017
Commemoration of Saint Theodosius the Cenobiarch.
Signatures of the Athonite Fathers
for the cessation of the commemoration
of the name of the Patriarch of Constantinople,
kyr Bartholomew.
We sent to the Holy Community and the Holy Abbots of the Holy Monasteries of Mount Athos our document, CONFESSION OF ORTHODOX FAITH. (8 November 2016). [1]
In the aforementioned document, it is demonstrated that both the Patriarch and the decisions of the so-called "Holy and Great Council" in Crete have fallen into the pan-heresy of syncretistic and interreligious Ecumenism.
As Athonite Fathers, feeling the immense spiritual responsibility that we bear and adhering to the timeless tradition of our Holy Place, we proceed dutifully and lawfully, according to the Holy Canons, to the necessary cessation of the commemoration of the name of the Ecumenical Patriarch, Mr. Bartholomew, just as the Athonite Holy Martyrs before us acted, who bore witness during the time of the Latin-minded Patriarch John Beccus.
We declare once again that the cessation of commemoration is mandatory and absolutely justified based on the Charter of the Holy Mountain, as well as the decision of the Extraordinary Double Holy Assembly of the Holy Community (52nd Session, 13 November 1971).
The Council of Crete gave synodal approval to condemned heresies.
The "union of the Churches" is already being carried out through endless joint prayers, common declarations, and other actions with all heretics and those of other religions.
Therefore, the cessation of commemoration is not an unconsidered haste but is the timeless holy-patristic and Athonite response of the living and vigilant conscience of the Orthodox Church against heresies and those who advocate for them.
