Unfortunately, new outrages are
about to take place inside one of our churches at the hands of the
post-patristic ecumenists...
A concert is being organized
inside the Holy Church of St. Demetrios in Psyrri, which for years has been
under the control of an ecumenist parish priest who, regrettably, promotes
post-patristic theology and the pan-heresy of Ecumenism. During the coronavirus
pandemic, he had already “distinguished himself” by imposing intimidating,
police-style measures inside the church against the so-called COVID deniers...
Now he intends to bring musicians
and singers into our holy church to hold a concert in honor of the heretical
Papist “saint” Francis of Assisi...
We have repeatedly stated that
our holy churches are not concert venues, not even for performances of
Byzantine ecclesiastical hymns. There are many excellent halls available for
musical and even theatrical performances. Our holy churches are intended SOLELY
and exclusively for the celebration of the Sacred Services and the Holy
Mysteries. At most, if no suitable hall is available, Sunday school children
may gather in some corner of the church or in the women's gallery, provided
that the reverence due to the sacred space is maintained. Priests may likewise
deliver talks for the catechetical instruction of their flock... But that is as
far as it should go.
Everything else is disrespectful
and profane, and has no place in an Orthodox holy church... The fact that such
things are commonplace in Papist and Protestant “churches” is of no concern to
us. After all, they regard their “churches” as nothing more than ordinary
venues for events.
Our holy churches are
consecrated, and our faithful, as we all know, always enter them with
reverence, taking care not to turn their backs toward the Holy Altar or the iconostasis,
upon which are depicted the most holy persons of our faith and our Lord Jesus
Christ...
And these people drag musical
groups and their instruments into the church, imagining that it is a place of
amusement, a venue for concerts and theatrical performances, and a place for
entertainment and other events...
Indeed, they even make a point of
emphasizing that admission is free!! So perhaps they intend to start charging
admission in the future...
What a disgrace!
And are they not afraid that the
church might collapse on top of them and crush them...
Such disrespect toward St.
Demetrios is truly appalling.
As for the heretical Papist
“saint” Francis of Assisi, you can read more HERE.
Read the following announcement
from the church itself:

A Musical Narrative by Fenia
Papadodima and the Ensemble Uccelli del Mare.

Mediterranean songs from the 13th century to the present day, original
