Response to Bishop Tikhon concerning the Patriarch’s meeting with the Pope
27 February 2016
To Bishops of the Orthodox Church of the Russian Federation
In his speech, Bishop Tikhon concealed the true nature of the problem regarding Patriarch Kirill’s meeting with the Pope. The meeting was fully in line with the NWO globalization policy. Ecumenism today means unity with pan-heresies promoted by the apostate Vatican! It denies the uniqueness of salvation in Christ, the Divinity of Christ, His real and historical Resurrection and the inspiration of the Scriptures. Conducting an interreligious dialogue, the Vatican has accepted the spirit of reverence for pagans and their demons, and expelled the Holy Spirit. These are the gravest heresies, graver than Arianism or Monothelitism for which the Patriarchs and the Pope were excommunicated from the Church in 681. The pan-heresies of ecumenism within the NWO system also pose a threat to the security of the Russian state. Thus, the state government is obliged to intervene against self-destructive church politics. If the President and the Government underestimate the problem and neglect to intervene and to remove Patriarch Kirill from office, the blame for the autogenocidal process will fall not only on heretical and treacherous bishops but also on the President and the Government. Today the Vatican promotes the NWO globalization policy which secretly, in stages, leads the Orthodox Church to self-destruction.
Pope Francis is not a representative of orthodox Catholic doctrine but of Vatican apostasy which denies the nature of Christianity and calls down God’s curse – anathema. That is why the Vatican is silent on legalization of sexual perversions. Francis Bergoglio kisses the feet of transsexuals, by which gesture he approves of perversion. He disguises himself with phrases about rights and mercy, but he sins against the Holy Spirit and destroys the truth at the root. His manipulation of the Scripture verse “that they all may be one” (Jn 17:21) is hypocrisy. Unity in heresies and sin is unity in the antichrist. However, Tikhon hypocritically conceals this. His clever defence of Kirill’s betrayal is intended to mould the public opinion of the Orthodox people who are outraged by Kirill’s heretical activities.
A proper response to Kirill’s meeting with Francis is the attitude of two Moldovan monasteries and twelve priests. Immediately after the meeting, they boldly broke free from subordination to Kirill’s heresy. As a visible sign of it, they stopped to mention his name in the liturgy. However, as they clarify, they have not separated from the Church because they remained in unity with orthodox doctrine which Kirill had abandoned. They will submit to the jurisdiction of the bishop who has remained faithful to orthodox doctrine (see http://www.aparatorul.md/moldova-kratkoe-istoriya-i-obrashenie-o-nepominanii/). Such should be the attitude of all the bishops! To distort Kirill’s betrayal and his unity with apostasy, presenting it as Christian unity and protection of the persecuted, is psychological manipulation. Tikhon justifies the joint declaration, yet he conceals its essential point. The Declaration states that interreligious dialogue is absolutely necessary. This is proof that Kirill and Francis are united with pan-heresies in apostasy.
The Orthodox canons allow for the case that a Patriarch might betray Christ and the apostles’ teaching! The Sixth Council in Constantinople declared an anathema on four Patriarchs for the heresies of Monothelitism and posthumously on Pope Honorius too. In the 4th century, the majority of Eastern bishops lapsed into Arianism and fell under God’s curse – anathema. St Basil remained alone with a handful of the faithful. Today, the Orthodox Church will only be saved if the bishops expel Kirill and elect a true Patriarch. Otherwise they will be placed under anathema for subordinating themselves to his heresies.
Tikhon fails to warn the Orthodox public, although internal apostasy of the Orthodox Church has already been programmed in several stages. The first stage was the meeting with the Pope, the second one will be the Great Council of 2016 and the next stage will be so-called theological dialogues with heretics which will continue until the whole Church is buried under the heresy of the West.
The tragedy is that there have so far been no brave bishops in Russia like St Basil or St Athanasius, who defied heresy and treacherous hierarchs.
Bishop Tikhon cites a letter by an Orthodox Christian named Joseph: “I hereby announce that I break prayer and Eucharistic communion with all the bishops who approved and signed at the Council of Bishops in Moscow on 2-3 February 2016 a draft document of the Pan-Orthodox Council adopted at the Fifth Pan-Orthodox Pre-Council Conference in Chambésy on 10-17 October 2015 until they do public penance in writing before all the nation. The reason is that this document undermines the Creed, contains the heresy condemned by the Councils of the Church and by the Church Fathers. The Patriarch openly called heretics to be the Church, the Pope to be holy, and allowed the joint celebration of the liturgy with the heretics. The Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church are silent and some even praise the document as well as the meeting of the Head with a heretic. Lord, have mercy! ‘I have hated the assembly of evildoers, and will not sit with the wicked.’ Amen.”
St Athanasius, St Gregory and other Church Fathers have the same attitude towards heresy as this Christian. But what is the reaction of Tikhon? He says: “What devilish blasphemy, what demonic mockery! A man who foolishly gives advice to the Church casts himself out of the ecclesial community, separates himself from the Church of Christ. O, poor man he is! He is not even aware of what he is doing to himself!” These words do not apply to genuine Christians but to heretical hierarchs who really separated themselves from the Church of Christ!
St Basil the Great writes: “We must appeal to heretics to repent, and if they refuse to, we must separate from them, because if anyone separates from them, it is not brethren that he separates from.” And he continues: “We flee from heretical hierarchs as from godless people, declaring an anathema on them.”
Tikhon, like a Pharisee and heretic, not only mercilessly denigrates a sound Christian Joseph but hypocritically intimidates all believers: “It’s really terrible. Behold, what a fruit of senselessness! Behold, what a fruit of devilish rashness; behold, what a fruit of the evil spirit…”
Response: These Tikhon’s words addressed to sound Christians in fact apply to the apostate gesture of Kirill, i.e. his meeting with the pseudo Pope with a view to destroying the Orthodox Church.
Quote (Tikhon): “…a spirit of condemnation and haughtiness, as seen with the Pharisees, under the guise of piety leads to revolt against the Church of God, under the guise of salvation destroys the temple of the Spirit of God within us and around us, and leads other people to destruction by word and example.”
Response: By his statement, Tikhon actually condemned himself. His statement is an example of the spirit of antichrist which calls victims to be criminals and heretics and pharisees to be holy and saviours! Kirill’s gesture really leads tens of thousands of Orthodox Christians to destruction. He exalts himself above God and above the apostolic teaching and introduces heresies which bring down a curse. And this all is done pharisaically, under the guise of piety. If anyone defies his betrayal of Christ and the Church, he is not rebellious against the Church because Kirill has excluded himself from the Church of Christ by his apostasy. It is not true that one’s salvation is under threat if one resists his betrayal. On the contrary, to remain in union with him means a threat to one’s salvation.
Furthermore, Tikhon mocks the prophecies of the elders and hypocritically intimidates sound Christians: “What opposes the words of the Head of the Russian Church? Sheer fantasy based on panic assumptions, supposed prophecies predicting that everything will be terrible, that everyone will betray Orthodoxy and so on and so on.”
Response: It is another manifestation of the spirit of antichrist which works through Tikhon. To ridicule, dishonour and trample many solid arguments and justified fears of holy men in order to promote globalization and satanization in the Church and the Russian nation is a betrayal.
Quote: “But the worst thing about the upholders of this view is not just panicking but, in essence, total disbelief in the Church.”
Response: Heresies cause separation from the Church and these heresies are promoted by Kirill and Tikhon. So both of them have separated themselves from the Church and are under an anathema – God’s curse according to Gal 1:8-9. Today a necessary condition for salvation is to separate from heretics.
Quote (Tikhon): “Do not worry, brothers and sisters, the ship of the Church steered by its Divine Helmsman, our Lord Jesus Christ, has sailed through similar storms many times throughout 2,000 years and will resist them again.”
Response: This statement is a manipulation method of the spirit of antichrist. He uses a true statement about the final victory of Christ as a weapon to paralyze opponents of heresy. And this is a sign of real demonization and diabolical apostasy promoted by the false prophet Tikhon. Christ is not the helmsman of the ship of heretics who betrayed Him. The helmsman of the ship of heretics and false prophets is the Antichrist, and their ship is sailing to hell.
Tikhon betrayed Christ and orthodox doctrine; he turned out to be a manifest heretic and a false prophet. He brought God’s curse on himself – anathema (Gal 1:8-9).
