The “Official” Church, termed canonical,
was created by men who were
themselves
outside the ancient faith. This man made church is best termed
Neo
Orthodox because it was established in opposition to the ancient faith as
once
delivered to the Saints.
The
Russian Orthodox Patriarchate was established by extortion.
HISTORY
OF NEO ORTHODOXY
_________________________________________________
THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE VARIOUS
OLD
WORLD EASTERN PATRIARCHS WAS A FRACTURE
FROM
THE FAITH AND PRAXIS OF THE EARLY CHURCH.
THE
NEWLY FORMED PATRIARCHS NOW DEFINED
THE
‘ORTHODOX CHURCH’ TO MEAN THOSE SUBJECT
TO
THEIR SELF ASSUMED AUTHORITY AND MAN
MADE
POSITION. THIS ESTABLISHED AN
“OFFICIAL CHURCH”
THAT
IS CONTRARY TO THE FAITH OF ORTHODOXY.
AS
SHOWN BELOW, THESE MEN WERE ALREADY HERETICAL
AND
IN THEIR LUST FOR POWER ESTABLISHED WHAT
CAN
ONLY BE CALLED NEO ORTHODOXY.
Origin
of Neo-Orthodoxy
BISHOP
BRIAN J. KENNEDY, O.S.B.
The
term Neo-Orthodox is used to define the church
created by men who were and are under
the
influence and illusion of Satan and his demonic
minions. Hiding under the mantel of the title
“Patriarch”
or
as they prefer to
be
called “His All Holiness”
they continue to spew forth the heresy
and the
illusions
spawned in hell by
the
demonic forces.
Every
Jurisdiction is man made. Christ and the Apostles did not establish any
Jurisdiction. The office of Patriarch was created not by Angels or by
Divine Mandate but by men, and sanctioned, titled and empowered by the Secular
State. Those who occupy these ancients Apostolic Sees have redefined the
Church in Political terms. They seek not to establish, preserve and defend
the truths of Holy Orthodoxy but rather to
establish, preserve and defend their
political power.
The
Eastern (Greek) Orthodox Patriarchate is generally considered to have been
established in the year 451. At the
time the Office of Greek Patriarch was established, the Eastern Church had a
long history of heresy and schism from the ancient faith. The Holy Spirit did
not inspire the heresies or the so called church leaders who teach these
heresies. Where error and heresy abound, the devil is ever
found.
The Office of
Patriarch was the beginning of the Neo Orthodox Church (the church established
by men) and the first order of business was to establish an office higher than
Bishop. The Church established by
Christ upon the Apostles had no office higher than Bishop. Prior to the establishment of the office
of Patriarch, the Bishop at Constantinople was called an Arch Bishop. The term Arch Bishop was basically a
meaningless title indicating he had authority over the Greek population in
Turkey. He was based out of the
city of Constantinople that today is called Istanbul,
Turkey.
In their effort
to establish their political superiority and seek justification for their
self-aggrandizement they spared no expense to ensure their titles, claims to
authority and position in the Imperial Court and in their man made church. Prior to the establishment of the office
of Patriarch, the Eastern Church had a long-term experience as being in error
and schism from the ancient faith.
Most notable of these are:
|
Antioch, Paul of Samosata 260-269 Modalist AT
THIS POINT THE OFFICE OF GREEK ORTHODOX
PATRIARCH WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 451 AND THE FIVE PATRIARCHS OF EASTERN ORTHODOXY
WERE
FIRMLY ESTABLISHED LET US REVIEW THE
MEN THAT HEADED THE EASTERN CHURCH AND THEIR
HERESY: Alexandria,
Dioscorus 448-51 Monophysite |
The
demonic spirit behind the establishment of the office of the Patriarchs is
demonstrated by these historical facts
which may be briefly summarized as follows:
All three of the great Eastern sees were under the jurisdiction of heretical
patriarchs simultaneously during five different periods: 357-60 (Arian), 475-77,
482-96, and 512-17 (all Monophysite), and 640-42 (Monothelite): a total of 26
years, or 9% of the time from 357 to 642. At least two out of three of the sees
suffered under a heterodox "shepherd" simultaneously for 112 years, or 33% of
the period from 341 to 681 (or, two-thirds heretical for one-third of the time),
Thus the East, as represented by its three greatest bishops, was at least
one-third heretical for nearly three-quarters of the time over a 340-year
span. If we examine each city separately, we find, for example, that
between 475 and 675, the patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, and Antioch
were outside the catholic orthodox faith for 41%, 55%, and 58% of the time
respectively.
Furthermore,
these deplorable conditions often manifested themselves for long, unbroken
terms: Antioch and Alexandria were Monophysite for 49 and 63 straight years
(542-91 and 475-538 respectively), while Constantinople, the seat of the
Byzantine Empire and the "New Rome," was embroiled in the Monothelite heresy for
54 consecutive years (610-64). There were at least (the list is not exhaustive)
41 heretical Patriarchs of these sees between 260 and 711.
Furthermore,
essentially the entire Eastern Church seriously missed the mark doctrinally on
at least two occasions: the "Robber Synod" at Ephesus in 449, and in the signing
of the Monophysite Henoticon of the Emperor in 482. The record of heresy in the
East, then, could scarcely be more sobering for those Orthodox who define the
Church in terms of subordination or Communion with a Patriarch.
Eutyches
[a Monophysite] was supported by the Imperial Court, and by Dioscorus the
Patriarch of Alexandria . . . A general Council was summoned for
the
ensuing summer at Ephesus [in 449] . .
. It was attended by sixty metropolitans, ten from each of the great divisions
of the East; the whole number of bishops assembled amounted to one hundred and
thirty-five.
The
proceedings that followed were of so violent a character that the Council has
gone down in history under the name of the Latrocinium or "Gang of
Robbers." Eutyches was honorably acquitted, and his doctrine received . .
. which seems to have been the spontaneous act of the assembled Fathers.
The proceedings ended by Dioscorus excommunicating the Pope, and the
Emperor
issuing an edict in approval of the
decision of the Council . . . The Council seems to have been unanimous, in
the restoration of Eutyches; a more complete decision can hardly be imagined. It
is true the whole number of signatures now extant, one hundred and eight, may
seem small out of a thousand, the number of Sees in the East; but the attendance
of Councils always bore a representative character.
The
whole number of East and West was about eighteen hundred, yet the
second
Ecumenical Council was attended by only
one hundred and fifty, which is but a twelfth part of the whole number; the
Third Council by about two hundred, or a ninth; the Council of Nicaea itself
numbered only three hundred and eighteen
Bishops.
Moreover,
when we look through the names subscribed to the Synodal decision, we find that
the misbelief, or misapprehension, or weakness, to which this great offence must
be attributed, was no local phenomenon, but the unanimous sin of Bishops in
every Patriarchate and of every school of the East.
Three
out of the four patriarchs were in favor of the heresiarch, the fourth being on
his trial. Of these Domnus of Antioch and Juvenal of Jerusalem acquitted him, on
the grounds of his confessing the faith of Nicaea and Ephesus . . . Dioscorus .
. . was on this occasion supported by those Churches which had so nobly stood by
their patriarch Athanasius in the great Arian conflict. These three
Patriarchs were supported by the Exarchs of Ephesus and Caesarea in Cappadocia;
and both of these as well as Domnus and Juvenal, were supported in turn by their
subordinate Metropolitans. Even the Sees under the influence of Constantinople,
which was the remaining sixth division of the East, took part with Eutyches . .
. Such was the state of Eastern Christendom in the year 449 JUST TWO YEARS
BEFORE THE GREEK PATRIARCHATE WAS FIRMLY ESTABLISHED;
Conclusion: The Five Patriarchs were established by
men who, in order to satisfy their need for power, prestige and wealth created a
“Neo-Orthodox” church. The church created by man.
The
Eastern Church had a long and unquestioned history of heresy before the
establishment of the office of Patriarch.
The
Eastern Church had a long history of heresy after the office of Patriarch was
established.
The
Eastern Orthodox Church remains in heresy today in their teaching about
Ecumenism and other heresies too numerous to mention in this short article. The
Eastern Orthodox leadership remains the leaders of a church made by man TEACHING
AS DOGMA WHAT IS ONLY HUMAN PRECEPTS.
THE
ORIGIN OF THE MOSCOW PATRIARCHATE
Jeremias,
Patriarch of Constantinople, undertook a journey to Moscow, to obtain money in
his battle against his rival Metrophanes and to drive him, by the force of
money, from the Patriarchal throne. On this
occasion,
the Patriarch of Constantinople, was physically forced and was forced by his
financial need to yield to the Russian demand to create the Russian Orthodox
Patriarchate. Accordingly in a council assembled at Moscow in the year 1589,
Jeremias nominated and proclaimed Job, archbishop of Russia, the “first
patriarch” of the Muscovites. It is clear that prior to the need to receive help
from Russia, the Patriarch of Constantinople and the rest of Eastern Orthodoxy
viewed the Russian Orthodox Church as being outside the church. The Russian
Orthodox Church was an ‘independent’ church. In effect “Patriarch Job” forced
Jeremias II to create the Moscow Patriarchate and to now view the Russian
Orthodox Church as part of “Canonical” Orthodoxy. The Patriarchate of Moscow was born of
extortion and nationalism.
TODAY,
THE PATRIARCH OF MOSCOW WANTS TO BE CALLED “HIS ALL HOLINESS”.

LETTER OF ST.
ATHANASIUS
In
the fourth Century the Age of Apostasy was firmly established when a group of
heretics, schismatic and other apostates gathered together to form the
“official” church. Their unholy
plan was to consolidate all power into their hands by claiming only those in
submission to them were part of the church. These men called themselves “Patriarchs”
and to this day they operate outside the church established by Christ upon the
Apostles. Their motivation was to combat the truth of Biblical Orthodoxy and
established as dogma what was only human precepts.
____________________________________________________
With
the beginning of the Neo Orthodox church in the 4th century, the Biblical church
was physically ousted from their churches and Monasteries. Clergy who were
remaining faithful were ostracized. The Biblical Church of the Apostles was
relegated to the fringes and that is where it remains today. The heretics
that established the manmade office of Patriarch controlled the buildings but
lost the faith.
Letter
of Saint Athanasius to His Flock
The
Biblical Church Ravaged in the Fourth Century
Saint
Athanasius lived in the fourth century during the time of what used to be
considered the greatest crisis of faith ever to befall the Orthodox Catholic
Church, the Arian Heresy. (The Arians denied the Divinity of Our Lord Jesus
Christ). The vast majority of Churchmen and all the newly established Patriarchs
fell into this heresy, so much so that Saint Jerome wrote of the period, "The
whole world groaned and was amazed to find itself Arian". Athanasius was the
Orthodox Bishop of Alexandria in Egypt for 46 years. He was banned from his
diocese at least five times and spent a total of 17 years in exile. He even
suffered an unjust excommunication from Pope Liberius (325-366) who was under
Arian influence. It is a cold fact of history that Athanasius stood virtually
alone against the onslaught of heretical teaching ravaging the larger Church of
his day – begetting the familiar phrase, "Athanasius contra mundum", that is,
"Athanasius against the world".
Athanasius
wrote to the Biblical Church Fathers, "May God console you! ... What saddens you
... is it the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while
during this time you are on the outside? It is a fact that they have the
premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but
they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but
the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place
or the Faith? The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the
struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True,
the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy
if everything takes place there in a holy way ...
"You
are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who
hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from
Scripture and Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to
shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who
have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail
against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our
churches back some day.
"Thus,
the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they
separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church;
but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going
astray. Even if true Orthodox Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a
handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
Other
Patristic Testimony to The Abysmal State of the Church at the time Of the Arian
Heresy
Cappodocia:
Saint Basil says about the year 372: "Religious people keep silence, but every
blaspheming tongue is let loose. Sacred things are profaned; those of the laity
who are sound in the Faith avoid the places of worship as schools of impiety,
and raise their hands in solitude, with groans and tears to the Lord in Heaven."
Four years after he writes: "Matters have come to this pass: the people have
left their houses of prayer, and assembled in the deserts, – a pitiable sight;
women and children, old men, and men otherwise infirm, wretchedly faring in the
open air, amid most profuse rains and snowstorms and winds and frosts of winter;
and again in summer under a scorching sun. To this they submit, because they
will have no part of the wicked leaven." Again: "Only one offense is now
vigorously punished an accurate observance of our fathers' traditions. For this
cause the pious are driven from their countries and transported into
deserts."

Patriarchate Owns Hotel That Helps Offer Abortions

Moscow
Patriarchate Owns Hotels That Helps Offer Abortions
Probably
one of the worst things I've seen. Was it not enough for the Ecumenical
Patriarch to say
aborting
children (like 'retarded' kids) was alright; must the Moscow Patriarch now own
hotels
(which are described as 'great spiritual centers') which help people get
abortions? Can this wake some people up to what the MP is? Not a Church, but a
Soviet creation of a Schism, which in turn
got
big, and now is a money making machine bent on political power and compromise to
the nth degree.
The
Hotel "Danilovskaya" built "for the reception of travelers" in the buffer zone
of St. Daniel
Monastery
in 1988, the 1000th anniversary of Christianity in Russia. Above the main
entrance
of
the hotel is the logo and the Patriarch stated that the property belongs to the
Moscow Patriarchate.
The
hotel hosts ROC conferences and receives delegations and guests from the
hospitality
peculiar
to Russia, according to the site of the hotel . The "Danilov" Conference hall is
decorated
with the emblem of the Patriarch and many icons.
Among
other surgeries offered is "virginity restoration" surgery. This fits right in
line with the Patriarchate's general objective of offering a facade of the
truth.

World
Orthodoxy: 62% of American Orthodox are pro-abortion
As
Orthodox Christians in the United States seek a new unity out of ethnic
fragmentation, they must grapple with the fact that many who say they cherish
the faith nevertheless ignore its teachings and practices.
"They
see the Orthodox Church in an unorthodox way," said Alexei Krindatch, research
director of the Patriarch Athenagoras Orthodox Institute at the University of
California-Berkeley, who conducted an
indepth
study of Orthodox Christians in the United States.
He
spoke in Ligonier at a national conference of Orthodox Christian Laity, church
activists from
across
all ethnic jurisdictions. They welcomed this year's call from the patriarchs of
all of the Eastern European and Middle Eastern Orthodox churches to begin
forming united Orthodox churches
in
places such as North America and Australia. The patriarchs instructed all
Orthodox bishops in
North
America to begin meeting together to deal with the issues of their own regions.
Groups such as Orthodox Christian Laity want to help the bishops along that
path.
Orthodox
Christians have a high sense of identification with their faith, Mr. Krindatch
said. Eighty-seven percent said they couldn't imagine being anything but
Orthodox, compared to 70 percent of
Catholics
who felt the same way about their church. But although more than 70 percent of
Orthodox identify themselves as conservative or traditional -- wanting no or
slow change –
many
also consider key teachings of the faith optional.
Mr.
Krindatch found that 60 percent believed they could be good Orthodox Christians
without going to church every Sunday -- and they attended less frequently than
Catholics or evangelical Protestants.
More
than a quarter believed it was unnecessary to give time and money to either the
church or
to
help the poor. Another study found that 62 percent of Orthodox Christians
believed abortion
should
be legal in all or most cases.
Metropolitan
Jonah, national leader of the Russian-rooted Orthodox Church in America,
reacted
strongly to the abortion findings, telling the assembly, "If 60 percent of our
people support abortion, then we have failed miserably in our
teaching."
YOUR GRACE, HOW COULD IT BE
OTHERWISE? THE PEOPLE LEARN FROM
THE CHURCH LEADERS
WHO
FAVOR ABORTION AND EVEN SUPPORT FORCED
ABORTIONS

Patriarch Head in Ukraine: Abortion Should Be Legal.

Of
course, it seems this is turning out to be par for the course of the World
'Orthodox' Patriarchates and their organizations. If the excuse is that it will
go underground, how is this different than the saying we shouldn't be against
Satanic child-sacrifice; because if we outlaw it, it will go underground. Surely
the point of the law is to protect innocents against horrifically mangled and
butchered deaths, not to make platitudes about how abortion is evil but to
support its continued legal existence in ones own country, as Met.
Vladimir does. But, then again, the Moscow Patriarch is running abortion
services; after all, why interfere with the money train?
The
head of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church – Moscow Patriarchate does not support a
prohibition of forced abortion and believes that the church should be governed
by the laws and morals.
FAVORS
FORCED
ABORTIONS - WOW
Metropolitan
of Kiev and All Ukraine Vladimir is against a legal prohibition against
abortion, because he believes that it will only lead to the fact that the
operations would be covert. He stated this in an interview with the First
National .
THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT MESSAGE – YOUR FUTURE AND THE FUTURE OF OUR
CHILDREN DEPEND
ON IT.
