The Decline of Mount Athos...

Today Mount Athos ceased to be a guarantee and support of Orthodoxy, the home of a phalanx of martyrs and confessors of Orthodoxy.

Today Mount Athos resembles an orchard disintegrated by ecumenism and heresy, now a monument of Athonite abandonment of the garden of the Theotokos!

This sorrowful event is taking place today, at an hour and moment of advanced weakening of Orthodoxy from vital and vigilant forces of witness and confession, given that today, bishops and archbishops and patriarchs, as well as clergy and lay theologians, arrogantly transforming themselves into a kind of ecclesiastical ecumenical council, utter ineffable words of heterodoxy, “for the good” of Orthodoxy!
