Western “churches” ask forgiveness for their opposition until now to homosexuality

We have emphasized many times in
our announcements that falling away from the saving faith and the revealed
truth of our Church leads at the same time also to a decline in ethos. And this
is because the removal from the salvific embrace of the Church, where the
uncreated grace of God is diffused, and the adoption of heretical opinions,
takes away divine grace, which sanctifies man and makes him authentic, a
complete being of soul and body.
This is evident in the heresies,
where immorality abounds. The most representative example is Western
Christianity, which, after it was cut off from the one and indivisible body of
the Church, goes from fall to fall and from moral decline to moral collapse.
Its history constitutes an undeniable witness to a tragic course, which clearly
reveals its departure from the authenticity of Christianity. In the name of
Christ the most heinous crimes against humanity were committed: crusades, holy
wars, the Holy Inquisition, genocides, murders; but also incredible moral
deviations: fornications, incests, rapes, pederasties, unspeakable sexual
perversions, etc., not so much by the simple people as by its “ecclesiastical”
leaders, and chiefly by the “Popes,” who, in their overwhelming majority, were
among the most corrupt religious leaders in history. It is historically
confirmed that many “Popes” died during orgies, in the arms of mistresses and
prostitutes, for example John XII, 955–964 A.D., Alexander VI, 1492–1503 A.D.,
and others, while several of them had illegitimate children, whom they
subsequently promoted to higher ecclesiastical offices, for example Pius II,
1458–1464, Innocent VIII, 1484–1492, Julius II, 1503–1513, Paul III, 1534–1549,
and others. We refer summarily to the medieval decline of Papism, to the
dramatic period, 9th–15th century, in which the moral, spiritual, and political
authority of the “Popes” collapsed. It was marked by extreme corruption, the
rise of secular power over religious authority, and led directly to the
questioning of Papism as a “church.”
Also noteworthy is the
contemporary moral degradation of the papal “clergy,” with the thousands of
cases of sexual abuse of innocent children by corrupt pederast Frankish
priests. It is an ongoing scandal that has afflicted the papal “church” for
years, exposes it in the eyes of the contemporary world, and empties its
“sacred” coffers because of the compensations paid to the victims.
The papal “church” is followed
closely also by the numerous Protestant “churches” and confessions in moral
decay. Reports about immorality are continual and reveal the magnitude of the
problem also in these papal divisions. And we say “papal divisions,” because in
essence wider Protestantism does not differ substantially from Papism either in
its false doctrines or in its moral degradation.
It is worth mentioning
parenthetically that both Papism and Protestantism constitute an enduring
disgrace to Christianity. The enemies of Christianity present the perennial
moral deviations of Papo-Protestantism as “weak points” of Christianity.
The present situation in
heretical Western Christianity is at the worst point of its decline, because of
its alignment with the so-called Woke Agenda, which it regards as “progress”
and which promotes the liberation of all human instincts and passions, and
along with this the exculpation of every form of sinfulness, culminating in
homosexuality.
Western Christianity, in order to
appear “synchronized” with the moral downfall of the contemporary apostate
world, has to a great extent ceased to regard homosexuality as a sexual
perversion and, worse, as a sin, despite the fact that the whole of Divine
Revelation, the Old and New Testaments, condemns it as an abomination before
the Creator, as an overturning of human physiology and ontology.
The occasion for our present
announcement was a publication according to which the “church” of Norway “asked
forgiveness” for decades of discrimination against homosexuality. [1]
According to it: “The Church of
Norway issued a historic apology to the LGBTQI+ community for decades of
discrimination. Bishop Olav Fykse Tveit acknowledged that the Church ‘caused
pain and shame’ and committed itself to a new era of acceptance and inclusion.”
In other words, the heretical
Norwegian “bishop” clearly considers that it is not only his “church” which,
according to him, “caused pain and shame,” but also Divine Revelation, the Holy
Scriptures, and God Himself, Who condemns with absolute clarity homosexuality
as a deviation from human ontology. And not only this, but he also “proclaimed”
a “new era of acceptance and inclusion” of those who persist in this deviation!
And the publication continues: “A
moment of historic significance unfolded recently in Oslo, when the Church of
Norway officially apologized for decades of discrimination and marginalization
of LGBTQI+ persons. The ceremony took place at the London Pub, a symbolic place
of the Norwegian LGBTQI+ community, where in 2022 a terrorist attack occurred
with two dead and nine wounded.”
The alignment of the “church” of
Norway with sodomism is now clear. The heretical Norwegian “bishop,” instead of
denouncing the sinful passion of homosexuality and calling homosexuals to
repentance, placed his “church” in a position of apology for its until-recently
adherence to Christian morality, which regards homosexuality as a mortal sin
and a source of many evils, with ramifications both for personal health and for
society as a whole. He even reached the point of glorifying this passion and
asking forgiveness for the observance of Christian morality up to now.
Behold how the “church” of Norway
came to ask forgiveness from the sodomites: “For decades, the Church of Norway
regarded homosexuality as a ‘social danger’ and forbade LGBTQI+ persons to be
ordained or to perform a marriage within a church. The change began to take
place gradually from the 2000s, in parallel with the liberalization of
Norwegian society. In 2007, the Church ordained the first homosexual pastor,
while in 2017 it performed the first same-sex ‘marriage.’ In 2023, Bishop Tveit
himself participated for the first time in the Oslo Pride parade, an event that
was regarded as a historic turning point.”
This proves that the heretical
“bishop” recognized Christian teaching as a “mistake” and aligned himself with
homosexuality. He did not simply “open himself” toward persons who choose to
live as homosexuals, but toward the sinful passion itself as such, rewarding it
with the “ordination” of a homosexual pastor, the performance of “marriages” of
same-sex “couples,” and his participation in public “pride” parades, through
which the so-called “rights” of homosexuals are claimed. By his presence at
these, he himself also aligns himself with their demands.
And not only this, but his
“apology” to the unrepentant sodomites “was accompanied by emotion and
applause, while many faithful attended the service that followed in Oslo
Cathedral.” His decision to ask forgiveness was sealed by a “service” in Oslo
Cathedral. To such a point did his impiety and hubris reach!
His statements can also be
considered blasphemous: “The Church in Norway caused shame, great harm, and
pain to LGBTQI+ people. This should never have happened. […] Discrimination and
unequal treatment caused many to lose faith.” For the heretical “bishop,” the
“loss of faith” seems to have greater importance than the purity of the faith.
The “apology” of the heretical
“bishop” Olav Fykse Tveit provoked various reactions. “Hanne Marie
Pedersen-Eriksen, a homosexual pastor and head of the network of Christian
lesbians, characterized the apology as an ‘important act of reparation,’ which
‘marks the end of a dark chapter.’ Others, however, consider that the apology
came too late. ‘For those who died of AIDS feeling that God was punishing them,
this apology brings no consolation,’ stated Stephen Antom from the Norwegian
Association for Gender and Sexual Diversity.”
The “apology” of the “church” of
Norway to the “wronged” sodomites, lesbians, trans people, etc., does not
constitute an isolated phenomenon, but one now common in apostate Western
Christianity. According to the aforementioned publication, it “is part of a
global wave of self-criticism by religious organizations. In 2023, the Church
of England and the Methodist Church in Ireland issued public apologies for
their stance toward LGBTQI+ persons, while the United Church of Canada spoke of
a ‘commitment to full inclusion and radical hospitality.’ The apology in Oslo
was not simply a ceremony; it was a symbolic but also substantive act — an
acknowledgment that faith and love have no room for discrimination.”
In Finland, the former
“archbishop” of the Lutheran “church,” Kari Mäkinen, openly welcomed the
enactment of same-sex “marriage” by the State, while the current “archbishop,”
Tapio Luoma, also expressed his joy over the development, adding that “as far as
I too am concerned, I consider that the Church must reexamine its position on
the concept of marriage.” He further stated that “same-sex couples are welcome
in all the activities of the church.” Indeed, the “Synod of Bishops” has
approved a proposal for the “addition of a parallel model of marriage,” which
would allow “priests” to perform “marriages” of homosexual “couples.” [2]
As was natural and expected,
neither did the papal “church” remain outside this “climate.” According to
another recent publication, [3] “Papal bishops at vigils for the ‘combating of
homo-transphobia.’ The downfall of papism seems to have no end. From a weapon
against sin, the vigil, which aims at repentance, became a means of propaganda
for homosexuality.”
And it points out that: “A
significant increase is recorded in 2026 in the participation of Papal bishops
in Italy in vigils and prayer events related to issues of homosexuality and
gender identity. According to Italian publications, at least twelve bishops are
expected to preside over or attend services and vigils organized with the aim,
as stated, of ‘overcoming homo-transphobia.’ These events have spread to more
than twenty dioceses throughout the country. In several cases, the vigils are
held inside Catholic churches, with the support of local bishops or
ecclesiastical organizations. Some of these initiatives are part of broader
pastoral programs related to the inclusion and support of LGBTQI persons.” “At
the same time, these developments are connected with the continuing discussion
within the Papal ‘church’ about synodality and the pastoral approach to issues
of sexuality and gender identity. The relevant framework has been strengthened
after recent synodal texts and discussions at the national and global level.
Ecclesiastical circles maintain that these vigils constitute an expression of
pastoral care and an effort to overcome discrimination, in the spirit of
contemporary ecclesiastical dialogue.”
Cardinal Reinhard Marx,
“archbishop” of Munich and Freising in Germany, openly supports the inclusion
of homosexual couples in the “Church,” having even permitted the performance of
blessing ceremonies for same-sex couples in his “archdiocese.” More specifically,
following the instructions of the “German Synod,” “Archbishop” Marx announced
that the blessing of couples of every sexual orientation who cannot or do not
wish to perform a religious marriage is permitted. He has publicly stated that
homosexuality is not a sin and that homosexuals constitute part of God’s
creation!
The above data concerning the
downfall of heretical Western Christianity are entirely indicative. In reality,
the problem is generalized and moral decay is eating away at its innards. For
this reason, its decomposition is rapid, as we have often revealed in our
announcements. A characteristic example is the departure of thousands of Finns
from the Lutheran “church,” after the statements of the former and current
“archbishops,” Kari Mäkinen and Tapio Luoma, concerning homosexuality. “From
that moment until today, 13,000 people left the Church — therefore they also
stopped paying the church tax. Archbishop Kari Mäkinen knew that his words
would enrage and alienate a portion of the faithful. But it seems that his
principles and his personal code of values compelled him to align himself with
the supporters of individual freedoms.” [4]
We conclude our announcement by
expressing our sorrow for the wretched state of heretical Western Christianity,
which abandoned the principles of genuine Christian faith and life and aligned
itself with the fallen world. Undoubtedly, the most striking proof of this
identification is the acceptance of the mortal sin of homosexuality as a
supposedly “natural choice,” despite the fact that it diverts man into the
misuse of his bodily organs, altering human physiology and ontology.
Thus, Christian anthropology
concerning male and female is despised in the most impious manner, and a
multitude of fictitious “genders” is introduced, according to the sinful
passions: sodomism, lesbianism, trans, queer, bisexuality, etc., with incalculable
consequences both on a personal and on a social level. Also overlooked is the
multitude of biblical references to the issue of homosexuality and God’s
categorical aversion toward this passion.
Our sorrow is intensified when we
observe that many clergy and theologians on the Orthodox side regard with
sympathy the alignment of the western “churches” with the spirit of the world
and, in the present case, with homosexuality. To this day we have seen no
official protest or position on the matter, so that the Orthodox fullness may
be informed that this is a serious deviation and may not be led astray by the
propaganda that supposedly there is no opposition between the Christian faith
and homosexuality. Those who do not possess sufficient knowledge of the abyssal
differences between our Church and the heretical western “churches” are led
astray, regarding these anti-Christian choices as supposedly “progress.”
Even more, we are sorrowful and
troubled because many of them develop relations with these “churches,” naming
them as supposedly true, overlooking the chaotic dogmatic differences that
separate them from the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church of Christ, our
Holy Orthodoxy, and at the same time they triumphantly refute themselves,
because they do not proceed to intercommunion with them, which proves the unity
of the Church, since they know that at once they will lose not only their
Archpriesthood, but also their Orthodox identity.
By their “warm” relations with
them, their compliments, and, worst of all, by such forms of secularization as
the exculpation of homosexuality, extremely erroneous messages are being sent
both to the heretics — that supposedly “they are acting rightly” — and to the
Orthodox fullness, whose Orthodox sensibility is gradually dulled.
