Holy Mountain, November 30, 2025 (new calendar)
With sorrow and deep grief, we
inform the flock of Orthodox Christianity that yesterday and the announcements
made will go down in history as the new Fall of the [Royal] City, with the only
difference being that yesterday’s was orchestrated and sought by Ecumenist
“wolves” clothed as the “Church” and as “Her body”... “grievous wolves, not
sparing the flock.”
Yesterday, our Christ was
betrayed once again. Thirty pieces of silver were enough for the fundamental
Principles of our Faith, Ecumenical Councils, and Holy Canons of the Holy
Fathers of our Church to be forgotten.
However, through their very own
actions and words, the only thing they "manage" is to separate
themselves from the Church, no longer having the power to "wound"
Her.
Even the Orthodox Confession of
Faith was "cashed in" for the same purpose, under the pretext of the
hypocritical well-wishings of our deficient human nature, but without God. Man
wages wars, and when he has no pretext, he invents one.
The Holy Canons of the Orthodox
Faith and of Her Holy Fathers, the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils, as
well as the Confession of our Faith, cannot be at anyone’s whim considered
“collateral damage.” Furthermore, “economy” cannot by itself become Faith, nor
can the falling away from the Faith become a rule. Such a thing would suit the
enemies of the Orthodox Faith—but we shall not make them such a “concession.”
Even broadcasts on state
television were made, featuring theology professors who publicly attempted to
convince us that Papism is not a heresy (filioque, primacy,
infallibility, the issue of unleavened bread, Uniatism, the immaculate
conception, etc.). Nothing in Orthodox Christianity allows for
misinterpretations or “arbitrary” interpretations; fortunately, the Holy Canons
are clear... and firm foundations that are not shaken by professional traitors
of the Faith.
They were not even ashamed to
state that “...we continue to walk with firm resolve on the path of dialogue,
with love and truth (cf. Eph. 4:15), toward the much-desired restoration of
full communion between our sister Churches.”
Fortunately, our Orthodox Faith
is Christ-centered, not bishop-centered... and God is merciful—may He forgive
them, if not enlighten them.

the Holy Monastery of Esphigmenou, Mount Athos.
