Promulgation of anathema on Patriarch Bartholomew
Lvov (Ukraine), 24 May 2013
The Feast of Sts. Cyril and Methodius
On 22 October 2011, the Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate, by the authority of God, appealed to Bartholomew, Patriarch of Constantinople, not to participate in the act of apostasy in Assisi, for doing so he would fall under God’s curse – anathema.
Quotation from 22 October 2011: “We hereby warn You and beseech You not to go to Assisi…
If You do attend the event, You will thus make it manifest that You are in unity of spirit with the Catholic apostates, God will take from You the grace of the Holy Spirit and You will fall under God’s curse. Our Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate will then be obliged before the whole Christian world to declare publicly that Your name has been included in the list of traitors of Christ and His Church.”
On 27 October 2011, Patriarch Bartholomew fell under God’s anathema by reason of his gesture of unity with the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist. The Triune God Himself placed Patriarch Bartholomew under an anathema for a betrayal of Christ and His Gospel acc. Gal 1:8-9. God’s curse is upon him and all those who are in unity of spirit with him and subordinated to him.
St. Basil says about heretical bishops: “We flee from them as from godless people, declaring an anathema on them.”
We hereby appeal to all bishops, monks, nuns, priests and believers who are in canonical obedience to Patriarch Bartholomew to separate from him as from a godless apostate. Those who are under his rule are in fact under the rule of the spirit of antichrist adopted by him through his public gesture of unity with Catholic apostates in Assisi (1986, 2002, 2011).
