The venerable Elder Philotheos (Zervakos) of Paros [† 1980]:
Extracts from three Anti-Ecumenist letters (pdf, 135 KB)
Abstract (Click on + to expand) (Click on - to collapse)
Abstract
Elder Philotheos brought a charge to the Holy Synod against Patriarch Athenagoras, Meliton of Chalcedon, and Iakovos of America for their anti-Orthodox actions and convictions. The Synod rejected the charge, and also those brought by others, because it was in agreement with all of the anti-Orthodox actions committed by the accused. The Synod also proceeded to introduce additional innovations. Those taking such actions are thus enemies of Orthodoxy and will be punished by God; and they also used force against those opposed to them. When the Faith is despised, silence is forbidden. The Lord will preserve His Bride, the Church: “Do not bow your knee to the Antichrist Pope and to his Pope-loving, ecumenist partisans.” “Stand” firm in the Faith “until the end, until death.” Woe to the Church for this current of innovation.
