Patriarch Kirill and the Year of the Mouse /An open letter/
26 February 2020
Prague, Czech Republic
Your Beatitude,
You, as head of the Orthodox Church in Russia, are fully responsible for its current spiritual state. A shepherd holds a staff in his hand. It symbolizes that his task is to fight against ravenous wolves who seek to devour the defenceless Christ’s flock. Do You fulfil this task, or do You have the same spirit as the apostate Pope Francis Bergoglio? In October 2019, Bergoglio had a pagan Pachamama demon brought into the main basilica of the Catholic Church, which was accompanied by a pagan ritual and a subsequent concert in support of this idolatry. The Vatican no longer worships demons secretly but with a public gesture. The process of hidden apostasy in the Catholic Church has progressed since the Second Vatican Council which introduced a so-called regard for pagan cults, in fact for demons (see Nostra Aetate).
These days, the Russian public is being manipulated by three-day celebrations, performances and concerts in honour of the so-called New Year of the Mouse. If Buddhists want to celebrate this Year of the Mouse, let them celebrate it in the territory where they constitute the majority, near China. It is the height of impudence that this spirit of paganism has become incarnate directly in Moscow, on the Kremlin territory, near the spiritual centre of all Russia which is the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. We ask: Shall Russia gradually change the thinking and begin to accept a new saviour in the form of a rodent and pest – a mouse?
What does the violation of the First Commandment lead to? The Scripture warns: “They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images … birds and four-footed animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity … men committing shameless acts with men.” (Rom 1:23f) Gender perversion is the fruit of apostasy from the true God and inclination to paganism through so-called interreligious dialogue connected with a regard for pagan demons (e.g. Vatican II).
Surely You know that today pagan pseudo mission, promoted by the globalization programme of supranational elites, is disguised as culture. This is, in fact, a process of destruction of Christianity from within, as we can see it in the West in the case of the apostate Vatican. It is a programme of spiritual suicide. This must be clear to every Orthodox or Catholic believer who has at least elementary knowledge of Christianity.
Unfortunately, You covertly support this programme of apostasy.
The protection of faith is not the main task of President V.V. Putin. This is Your task.
Regarding this year’s ceremonial opening of the Year of the Mouse and Your silence on this further penetration of the spirit of paganism into the centre of Christianity, full responsibility rests with You. Are You able, at least additionally, to clearly warn the Russian public and to tell them truthfully what attitude the Orthodox Church has towards this idolatry? It means to admit that it is the introduction of a pseudo religion and the promotion of paganism which worships a mouse instead of the true God, and next year it will perhaps worship a rat and then other demons under the guise of animals.
You are now on the path of apostasy. The evidence is that in 2013 You invited the Superior of a Buddhist Shaolin monastery to the very premises of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, which was a strong promotion of paganism on Your part. You committed a serious crime against the faith and an outward act of apostasy. You thus cause chaos among Russian Christians. The Christian path ends in eternal life in heaven and is diametrically different from the Buddhist path. Christianity worships the one God; Buddhists worship demons symbolized by animals.
A few years ago, a Buddhist centre was built in Moscow. We ask: Did You make any effort to prevent this centre from being erected in the capital of Christian Russia and rather to have it built in a place where Buddhists lived in the past and live today?
In addition, You committed a crime against orthodoxy when You attended a so-called interfaith meeting in Astana several times. If You had participated in it with the intention to bear witness among the pagan leaders to the essence of Christianity, i.e. to salvation which is in Christ alone, it would have been worthwhile. Your participation, on the contrary, was a gesture that supported erroneous public opinion as if the Orthodox Church and pagan cults were equally valid ways to salvation. This is a crime and a betrayal of Christ’s teaching!
Furthermore, You committed a secret crime against Orthodoxy by approving the Strasbourg Memorandum which outlines a programme of gradual internal and external destruction of the Orthodox Church and the introduction of multiculturalism – that means, priority given to paganism. The document covers not only Russia but also Greece and Christianity in general. You delegated Archbp. Hilarion to sign the document, the Vatican delegated Card. Kasper. For this step of betrayal You brought God’s anathema on Yourself, i.e. You excluded Yourself from the Church of Christ. Anathema also fell on pseudo Pope Bergoglio.
You and this pseudo Pope met “by coincidence” at Havana airport (2016), where You signed a declaration one of whose points laid out the unconditional need for interreligious dialogue in the Orthodox Church. This opens the door for the spirit of paganism to infiltrate into the Church.
You and Bartholomew prepared and adopted the documents of the Council in Crete. You Yourself did not physically participate in this wolves’ Council for diplomatic reasons. However, You sent a message of greeting by which You publicly expressed Your unity with this apostate Council. The Council’s final documents outlined a programme of theological dialogues with the Vatican. It practically means to train the young generation of priests on the basis of the Vatican’s heresies. Today the Vatican promotes idolatry – Pachamama demon idols – and introduces pagan rituals and a pagan spirit even into the liturgy. It will thus de facto achieve the abolition of the sacrament of the priesthood because the Spirit of God has been expelled and replaced by the spirit of paganism connected with the worship of Satan and his demons. Another consequence is the gradual legalization of sodomy. Let us point out that almost all forms of paganism offered human sacrifices to demons!
The Vatican will teach the Orthodox students of theology, in accordance with the exhortation Amoris Laetitia, that there are no moral principles and that one does not even need to keep God’s commandments. There is supposedly no sin or objective evil and everything depends on a subjective approach.
Students will, moreover, be initiated into the homosexual network which is extremely active among Vatican prelates. This network has been publicly exposed and denounced by former Apostolic Nuncio to the US, Archbp. C. M. Viganò, who has also called on Bergoglio to resign. Nevertheless, this month You sent Archbp. Hilarion to the Vatican to conclude an agreement on a permanent exchange of seminarians from the Russian Federation and Rome. Through such cooperation, You are digging a grave not only for the Orthodox Church but for the Russian nation too.
Today, Russia is under great external pressure from programmers of the reduction of mankind to a so-called golden billion. To be able to resist the self-destructive programme, the nation must be morally and spiritually strong.
On Monday 2 March 2020 we enter into the Lenten season. Ask Yourself in the sight of God before whose judgment You will soon stand: Who do I serve? Christ or Antichrist?
Repent while You have time. Be an example; admit Your crimes of apostasy before God and people, and You will thus remove Your anathema – God’s curse (Gal 1:8-9). Through sincere repentance all Russia can experience a spiritual awakening. Your repentance consists in calling the truth the truth and a lie a lie in both the spiritual and religious sphere. This is Your responsibility!
