We live in a time when people refuse to live according to the will of the mind and completely submit to the voice of the flesh. This is served by what we call modern culture, although in this case it is better to put the word "culture" in quotation marks. Genuine culture never liberates the voice of the flesh to such an extent that it dominates a person. And what we see now is aimed at ensuring that a person obeys not the voice of his mind, but the voice of the flesh, lives according to carnal wisdom.
In order to resist all these temptations, to maintain the ability to rationally manage your actions, you need to moderate the voice of the flesh. When a person refuses food of a certain kind or generally reduces its consumption, excludes alcoholic beverages, the physical and even physiological conditions are created that are necessary for the mind, enlightened by the light of Divine truth, to prevail over the voice of human flesh.
Humility is not a weakness, but a great human strength
Humility is not a weakness, but a great human strength. This is the absence of malice in the soul, this is the inability to respond with evil to evil, this is the unwillingness to assert one's rightness with the help of evil. Humility is what kindness is in human relationships. When people do not understand such kindness, it may seem to them that it is weakness, but in fact, kindness is a great strength, because God is absolute Goodness and absolute Power. And when we do good deeds, we touch the Divine life and also become strong. The life experience of many people testifies to how much more effectively the surrounding world is transformed through goodness, rather than evil, pride, resistance - all that multiplies lawlessness.

Passion
Usually, addictions are associated with some kind of pleasure, with positive emotions - that is why people so often become addicted to them. But if you do not put an end to addiction, it will acquire very dangerous qualities. Former joy fades into the background, pleasure turns into suffering - this state is called passion.
The words "passion" and "suffering" have the same root. Often addiction, getting out of the control of the human mind, develops into passion, and passion destroys a person. We know how people who are obsessed with alcohol first enjoy it and then fall into a terrible addiction. Addiction becomes passion, and as a result, the physical organism is destroyed, spiritual forces are destroyed, families are destroyed, and a person dies, burning from this passion.
Indeed, when we lose our freedom, when we become a toy in the hands of the elements, the image of God, which is invariably associated with the gift of freedom to man, becomes darkened. A person turns into a creature whose behavior and thoughts are strictly determined not by his will and mind, but by feelings and circumstances. It is known that passion most often leads a person to severe shocks. But, in addition to the fact that passion is accompanied by suffering, it is also a grave sin. Many holy fathers, ascetics, devoted their thoughts to this dangerous spiritual phenomenon, which is really capable of destroying a person.
Awareness of one's sinfulness
In order to really overcome passion, it is necessary to realize one's sinfulness. A person must understand that addiction or passion is not just a circumstance of life. It is necessary to realize that a person suffering from passion is personally guilty of what happened to him, and therefore repentance before God, awareness of his sinfulness, awareness of his helplessness are an indispensable condition for getting rid of this misfortune.
It takes a hard fight
Fighting thoughts is not enough. It is necessary to move on to the fight against actions, and here God's help is especially needed: prayer, confession, communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, reading the appropriate ascetic literature, which contains advice to a person who wants to free himself from the heavy captivity of passion. This path is long, and on it there can be both victories and defeats. It rarely happens that a person who has embarked on the path of getting rid of passion easily and in a short time has gone the whole distance. A stubborn struggle is required, an exertion of strength is required, but only such a struggle, with the help of God, can lead a person to liberation from passion.

Despondency
Among the sins that overcome a person, there is one to which we pay little attention, although this sin can greatly change a person's life. It is no coincidence that in the prayer of St. Ephraim the Syrian, at its very beginning, we ask the Lord not to give us the spirit of despondency. Despondency - this is the very sin, which, not being always noticeable, actually deeply strikes the human heart. Even the psalmist David in the 118th psalm says: “My soul is awake from despondency” (Ps. 119:28), and the Monk Cassian the Roman, a disciple of St. John Chrysostom, comments on this verse in the following way: “How well the psalmist said! Not in the flesh, but in the soul, he slumbered from despondency. Indeed, despondency strikes the soul and brings it into a state that can be compared with sleep. This, of course, is not a physical dream, but the same St. John Cassian says that through despondency, idleness, laziness, and inability to work enter into the soul of a person; and we can continue and say: despondency disorients a person, shifts the focus of his life, plunges him into a difficult state of mind.
Most sins are connected in one way or another with temptations that reach our mind and heart from outside. But despondency often comes for no apparent reason - this is a sin that we give birth to in our hearts ourselves.
Any sin that we commit should not capture our soul, not giving us the opportunity to come to our senses, that is, to stop and think at least for a moment. Here he fell into despondency - everything around him darkened, the world became different, there is no meaning in life, and nothing pleases. And if you do not stop, do not analyze this state, then it will seize a person and carry him with terrible force to no one knows where. Despondency can lead to such a decline in strength, which cannot but affect the physical condition of a person, his psyche, his vitality.
Despondency is overcome with patience
So that despondency does not take possession of us, we need to remember the words of Ephraim the Syrian, who said that a person who has fallen into despondency is as far from patience as a sick person is from a healthy one. And these words were not spoken by chance, because despondency is overcome by patience. Despondency must be perceived as a kind of challenge to the spiritual state, and one must not despair, not go with the flow, but overcome despondency with patience. But, in addition, it is necessary, according to the words of John Cassian, not to fall into laziness and idleness, but first of all to overcome despondency by work. If your work is mental - strain your mind, set new tasks for yourself, work, search, grow spiritually, intellectually. After all, the emergence of a new goal always mobilizes the strength of a person, and he acquires the ability to overcome not only despondency, but also many other sorrows. Regardless of age, gender, physical strength, each person can and should set goals for himself, whether in everyday work or spiritual life, and the goal set helps him mobilize strength, break the bonds of despondency.

Sin is born in the mind
Sin is born in thoughts, and most often it is some kind of random thought, some episode, and it depends on the person whether he will turn this episode into a part of his life, whether he will live with such thoughts and sink deeper into them. Sinful thought in the language of the Holy Fathers, including St. Ephraim the Syrian, is called a thought. Speaking about the consequences of an inattentive attitude to thoughts, Saint Ephraim offers a very accurate and even ironic comparison: a person who has not coped with his thoughts dies like a ship that is wrecked at the pier. Indeed, something incredible must happen for the ship to sink not in the open sea, among the waves, wind and storm, but in a quiet harbor, at the pier. The man has not yet committed a sin, but a thought has taken possession of his consciousness. The nature of man, his soul is already infected with sin, and he perishes from the mere thought. We know about the terrible consequences of thoughts, which often not only destroy the spiritual state, but also threaten the very life of a person. This is what happens to people who do not banish the thought of suicide from their minds. It can come by chance, under the influence of some information from the outside, but if a person begins to live with this thought, trying it on himself, then, regardless of his desire, this thought can lead him to suicide.

Pride is the pinnacle of sin
Pride is the pinnacle of sin. God opposes the proud, gives grace to the humble(1 Pet. 5:5). The devil is the father of pride, and pride is opposition to God that is expressed in everyday life. A proud person always puts himself above others, his only view of the world is from top to bottom. He is not able to consider himself equal to others, and even more so is not able to see his sins, his weakness, his imperfection, to realize that he is not at all on top of the world, but somewhere below, among all the rest. Pride gives rise to an absolutely unhealthy outlook on life, a sinful and very dangerous style of dealing with people. It cannot be otherwise, because if God opposes the proud, then he deprives them of grace. Of all the passions, it is this passion, pride, that is the hardest to overcome.

Love of money is the mother of all evil
Among the passions, there is one that the holy fathers, ascetics, ascetics pay special attention to, addressing us all with instructions - this is the passion of the love of money. Saint John Chrysostom owns the poignant words: “Love of money is the mother of all evil.” And this is not an exaggeration, because the love of money is associated with a distortion of the very logic of human existence.
Be an example of charity
To do alms means to do something that falls outside the logic of modern development. Yes, we know that there are people involved in charity, but the general direction of movement, the main values of the world, is where money is earned, where money becomes not a means, but an end. Mercy, the ability to take from oneself and give to another is a challenge to everything that is happening today with the human race and undoubtedly does not correspond to God's plan for it. That is why the Church of God, bringing this message to the world, should be an example of almsgiving and mercy.

Conditions for the Effectiveness of Prayer
In approaching prayer, we must entrust ourselves to the Divine Will. Sometimes we ask the Lord for something that is not useful to us, but we ourselves do not understand it. We ask for what we want to have, but we do not know how this request of ours corresponds to God's will for us. And therefore, insisting on our own and not receiving what we ask for in return, we begin to doubt that God is present next to us and hears our prayer. These doubts disappear if we accompany every prayer with the words: “Thy will be done; I ask You, and it seems to me that what I ask is necessary for me, but You know better, Lord, now or later I should receive it and in general - should I receive it, and my dreams, hopes that are expressed in this prayer - whether they are your providence for me.”
But it is not enough to give oneself to the will of God by praying. You also need to make commitments. If we ask for something, but we ourselves do not care about the incarnation of what we ask for, then the Lord does not answer such a prayer and such a life position of the one who prays. The Lord cannot, with a positive answer to prayer, encourage our laziness, our foolishness, our weaknesses in general. If we ourselves are not able to participate in the fulfillment of what is asked for, if we refuse to work ourselves, but only entrust everything to God, then we will not receive an answer to such a prayer.
These three conditions - faith, surrendering oneself into the hands of God, that is, accepting God's will for us, and our participation in the fulfillment of what is asked - are the conditions for the effectiveness of prayer.

Mercy School
It is very important that the Church be a school of mercy. It is very important that the clergy, calling the flock to compassion, themselves perform works of mercy. In order to test their spiritual state, everyone during Great Lent should ask: what good have I done? Who can I really help? To whom did you lend a helping hand? With whom did you share your material resources? Will I be justified at the Last Judgment? Because it is about the works of mercy that we will be asked at the Judgment of God.

Be ashamed of sin, don't be ashamed of remorse
Often, especially among novice Christians, the sacrament of confession causes some embarrassment. How to tell a priest, a stranger, about the most intimate, about your sins, which are hard to remember when it’s embarrassing even to admit them yourself? How to cross the natural line, formed by human shyness and even conscientiousness, and tell what is part of your inner life? These fears, embarrassment and even fear are understandable. Probably, throughout the history of the Church, pastors have encountered such a state of the penitent. Therefore, St. John Chrysostom teaches that sin is a wound, and repentance is healing, adding wonderful words: "Be ashamed of sin, do not be ashamed of repentance."

The Lord Gives His Grace in the Sacraments of the Church
The growth of a person, the struggle with sins, the striving for perfection relying only on one's own strengths cannot be successful, because we are challenged by forces that are many times superior to us. Both external temptations and temptations, and natural manifestations of human flesh, and much more put our mind, our will in very cramped conditions, do not allow us to fully reveal our inner spiritual potential, defeat evil thoughts, passions and vices.
Why do we still not lay down our hands, why do we not give up the fight, why do we have hope? But because in the movement towards perfection, if we are ready to follow this path, the Lord Himself is with us. He gives us His grace, His energy, His strength. It is thanks to His strength, His energy, His grace that we are able to rise up to the sky, to the stars, despite the gravity of the earth's gravity.
To a believing person who is walking along the path of salvation, the Lord gives His energy, His grace, first of all in the Sacraments of the Church.

Show people the beauty of the gospel ideal
We do not impose anything on anyone, but our task, our duty is to show people the beauty of the gospel ideal. Just as a person who is far from art is captured by the beauty of a building, painting or sculpture - it captures with its harmony, with its aesthetic impact on the human soul - this is how the gospel ideal should capture people. Not because it is imposed by force, but because it is irresistible with its spiritual beauty. But in order for a modern person to be able to discover this ideal, to see and join it, it is necessary to help, using, among other things, a language accessible to the younger generation.

Celebrations of Orthodoxy
What does the keeping of dogmas, the keeping of faith mean?
What does the keeping of dogmas, the keeping of faith mean? We often say that an Orthodox person is one who keeps the faith. But to keep the faith, simply repeating the old formulations of dogmas, is not enough, and few people know and remember these formulations. It is necessary to keep the faith reflected in church dogmas in essence. And in order for the keeping of faith to be active and, I would say, creative, we must correlate the Divine truths embodied in dogmas with the reality of our life. And if we live by faith, by those same dogmas, then it becomes possible to resist the flatterer-devil, the enemy of the human race, who again and again tries to fill human judgments with his lies. This is the actuality, strength, topicality of what we call the Orthodox faith. And may the Lord help us through the prayers of our holy predecessors, whose names we have solemnly remembered today, to preserve the Orthodox faith and affirm it reasonably and convincingly for each subsequent generation of people.

“I express my heartfelt thanks to His Holiness Francis…”
From the speech of Patriarch Kirill at the meeting of relics
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker
From the very beginning of his reign, the Jesuit Francis, calling not to focus on canonical norms and aspects of the dogma, began to actively seek "renewal" of the forms of priestly service, setting his own behavior as an example. Having abandoned the traditional style of communication and form of behavior, the pontiff began to allow himself the most extravagant actions and statements that confuse devout Catholics and shock unbelievers.
He visits priests who have left the ministry to start a family in order to demonstrate his "closeness and love" to them. He meets with same-sex couples, as he did during his trip to the US in September 2015, when he granted an audience to his former homosexual student and his "partner" and deliberately kissed them in the presence of the media (while dad himself called before visiting his student, expressing a desire to meet, and this meeting was clearly intended for the public and looked like a symbolic gesture). Just as openly, on camera, during his visit to Sicily, he entered the temple, holding the hand of the Italian priest Luigi Ciotti, a well-known fighter for the rights of perverts. In the presence of journalists, he kissed the hand of another ardent supporter of homosexuality - the priest Michele de Paolis, during the celebration of his anniversary in the House of St. Martha. The pontiff embraced him with the words "everything is possible", so that the hero of the day left, being extremely touched. De Paolis is a co-founder of a gay organization called AgedoFoggia (2010), which opposes Catholic teachings on family and marriage. His approach to this issue is based on the usual assertions of perverts: homosexuality is not chosen, it is an orientation and part of personal identity, it is not a disease or a perversion, so homosexuals can enter into close relationships. Since the fact of the meeting of the pontiff with such a figure aroused bewilderment among a certain part of the believers, they asked the head of the press service of the Vatican to clarify the meaning of what happened, but did not receive an answer.
Francis appoints as his advisors liberal archbishops who speak out in support of same-sex marriage. He is making increasingly radical statements in support of sodomites, as he did in June 2016 at a meeting with journalists, when, commenting on Cardinal Marx's words that the church should apologize to the gay community, he said: “ We have to apologize for many things, not only to gay people. But we should not just apologize, but ask for forgiveness". Not surprisingly, the pope remained silent when, in August 2016, Cardinal Marx was heavily criticized for publicizing a case of sexual abuse in the diocese of Trier, which he ruled from 2001 to 2007.
His words and deeds so impressed the pervert community at the beginning of the pontificate that in 2013 four American magazines, known for their commitment to decadent libertarian culture, chose him as "Person of the Year". This was first done by the Italian edition of the American magazine Vanity Fair, on the pages of which sodomite singer Elton John stated: “ Francis is a marvel of humility in an age when vanity flourishes. I hope he gets his message across to people on the margins of society, such as homosexuals. This pope seems to want to bring the Church back to the ancient values of Christ... ". Another sodomite, the famous German couturier Karl Lagerfeld, also admitted in turn that he “loves the new pope very much, who has a wonderful look and a great sense of humor”, while admitting that he himself “does not need the Church” and “the concept of sin and hell." In December, "man of 2013" Francis has been proclaimed by Time and The Advocate, the oldest publication in the US advocating gay rights. It explained to its readers that the pontiff's proposals are "the most hopeful ever put forward against gays and lesbians" and that thanks to him "LGBT Catholics are now filled with hope that the time has come for change." With the same title (“Pope Francis: Times Are Changing”), an article about the pontiff was also published in the pop magazine Rolling Stone, with his photograph on the cover.
So the destroyers of traditional values made the pontiff a symbol of change, the embodiment of absolute openness towards the modern era, which became another insult to the dignity of devout Catholics. But "tolerant" bishops and priests felt much freer.
Against the background of such a deep interest in perverts, the indifference of the pontiff to the Liturgy and the neglect of liturgical norms and liturgical singing became especially provocative. He made changes in liturgical practice, refusing to take part, together with the Christian people, in the procession with the Most Holy Gifts during the celebration of the Body and Blood of Christ, and did not kneel during the entire service. But in the rite of washing the feet on Maundy Thursday, he began to allow not only male parishioners to participate, but also women, among whom was a transsexual. In fact, the pontiff took advantage of the priesthood in order to promote feminism. He shocked even long-suffering believers when, in 2016, he went to celebrate Maundy Thursday Mass at the Center for Migrants, many of whom were not Christians, but Muslims. Even Catholics accustomed to multicultural shows were struck by the spectacle of the pope celebrating mass on a makeshift altar in front of a crowd of onlookers who do not understand the essence of what is happening, chewing gum and listening to the player, crossing his legs and filming it on expensive smartphones.
Moreover, Francis made it clear that liturgical practice would be subject to further changes. Already in October 2013, the pontiff purged the Congregation for Divine Worship, surrounding its head, Cardinal Sarah, with his people and introducing into it, including Archbishop Piero Marini, who is a supporter of a radical modernization of the liturgy. Then, at the behest of Francis, a commission was set up to destroy, as observers say, “one of the strongholds of resistance to the excesses of post-conciliar liturgists,” the 2001 Liturgiam authenticam instruction that established the criteria for translating liturgical texts from Latin into modern languages. Some believe that with the establishment of this commission, the most radical ideas of modernizing the liturgical language will meet with support, and the instruction itself will be destroyed, which will pave the way for the revision of the Summorum pontificum document developed under Benedict XVI, which removed restrictions on the celebration of mass in the ancient rite.
The pope’s rude words cannot help but amaze the laity, such as, for example, about the parishioners, with insufficient joy, from his point of view, those present at the liturgy: “ How disgusting - these Christians with twisted faces, sad Christians. Muck, muck, muck. Yes, they are not quite Christians. They consider themselves as such, but they are not fully»; or how about the dissemination of fake news in the media: " People have a morbid tendency to coprophagia».
The statements of Francis in sermons, interviews and conversations, his thoughts set forth in his books are imbued with moral and ideological relativism and even indifference, testifying to his rejection of the Catholic faith. Here are just a few of them.
With regard to atheists, he "has no proselytizing intentions," since "proselytism is pompous nonsense that makes no sense. We must be able to get to know each other, listen to each other and increase knowledge about the world that surrounds us.” " Each person has their own understanding of what is good and evil. Let him follow the good as he understands it ... This is enough to live in a better world. "People who do not believe in God will also be saved." “The Lord saved us all with the blood of Christ: everyone, not only Catholics. Everyone! “Father, and even atheists?” Yes, them too. Everyone!" “The Church is not against sex education. Personally, I believe that it should accompany the development of children, adapting at each stage. “I am not interested in whether the child is studying with Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox or Jews. I'm interested in being trained and fed».
Many were shocked by the sensational statement of Francis, sounded during a sermon about St. Peter, who baptized the Gentiles, regarding aliens: “St. Peter converted the barbarians to God's faith, despite the fact that they did not treat Christians very well. I fully support his act ... Imagine that Martians will fly to us tomorrow. They will be green and with big ears, like in children's drawings. And suddenly one of them will say: “I want to be baptized.” What are we to do then?" Declaring that the Bible does not discriminate against believers on any grounds, he continued: When the Lord shows us the way, do we say, “No, God, this is unreasonable! We'll do it our way." Who are we to close our doors to anyone?» . It seems that when Bergoglio's team reformulates the dogma of papal infallibility, the question "Who am I?" or "Who are we?" he won't have it again.
One of the characteristic features of the "teaching" of Francis was the blasphemy that he commits, absolutely arbitrarily interpreting the text of the Gospel. In one of his speeches, he stated: When Jesus complained “My God! Why did you leave me?” - Did he blaspheme? This is the secret. Very often I listened to people who have experienced difficult, painful situations, who have lost so much or feel alone and abandoned, and who asked: “For what? For what?". They rebelled against God. And I answered them: "Keep praying like that, because this is also a prayer." Since when Jesus said to the Father: “Why did you leave me?”, it was precisely a prayer". That is, according to Francis, it turns out that Christ, turning to God with such a prayer, rebelled against God.
We see the same conjectures, which do not correspond to the traditional interpretations of Holy Scripture, in relation to the Mother of God. During one of his sermons, Francis stated that the Holy Virgin Mary experienced rebellious feelings at the foot of the Cross after His death and considered that the promises of the Angel during the Annunciation were false and that she was deceived. Here is what Francis says: She was silent, but in her heart how many words she spoke to the Lord! You told me that day that he would become great; You told me that You would give him the throne of David, his father, that he would reign forever, and now I see here! Virgo was human! And, probably, she wanted to say: Lie! I was deceived!».
Francis loves to give free interpretations of the person of Judas, about whom he spoke many times with sympathy and pity, in the spirit of the Gnostic "Gospel of Judas", which has become popular since the time of Benedict XVI. In one of his sermons, he stated: He was a bishop, one of the first bishops, right? Lost sheep. Poor thing! Poor brother Judas, as Don Mazzolari called him in his beautiful sermon: “Brother Judas, what is going on in your heart?”". On another occasion, referring to the same Don Mazzolari, Francis, completely incorrectly explaining the significance of the sculptural image on the capital of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene in Vézelay (France), concludes: " On the one hand, there is depicted a strangled Judas ..., and on the other side of the capital - Jesus the Good Shepherd, Who carries him on his shoulders, carries him with Himself. It's a secret. But these people in the Middle Ages who taught the catechism with images, they understood the mystery of Judas. And Don Primo Mazzolari had a good speech... This priest... well understood the complexity of the logic of the Gospel. The one who got the most dirty hands is Jesus. Jesus messed up the most. He was not “clean”, but he came out of the people, was among the people and accepted people as they were, and not as they should have been.».
So, hiding behind the meaningful word "mystery", in this case referring to "poor Judas", Francis, passing off an unknown figure as Christ, casually again committed blasphemy. As one of the Catholic bloggers wrote, commenting on this "merciful" interpretation of the image of Judas, " one should not be surprised if sooner or later Bergoglio expresses doubts about the devil himself: he will tell us that in the end the devil was good and God will forgive him, in accordance with the aspirations of Origen and the delusions of the Cainites».
When evaluating the statements and behavior of Francis, it is important to note that he understands very well what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is not an ignoramus or a superficial and mediocre intellectual with no experience in the performance of high official duties. As a Jesuit, he studied Catholic doctrine well, which is evident from the fact that all his heresies and false ideas are accompanied by the correct provisions of traditional teaching, which makes it difficult for an illiterate person to understand the essence of distortions. We are dealing with the cunning and insidious enemy of Christianity, whose words and actions are deliberately subversive and provocative in nature and are aimed at defiling Christianity and destroying those spiritual and moral principles that still remain in the life of orthodox Catholics.
Francis himself stated his mission thus: The Second Vatican Council ... decided to look into the future in the spirit of modernity and open up to modern culture. The Council Fathers knew that this openness to contemporary culture was synonymous with religious ecumenism and dialogue with non-believers. Since then, little has been done in this direction. I have a humble and ardent desire to do so.».
Indeed, we see that the "dialogue" led by Francis is effective only in relation to non-Christians and enemies of Christianity, while in relation to those who are trying to somehow resist the destructive processes in the Catholic Church, there is not even a hint of mercy. Francis is irritated by traditional morality, dogma, liturgy, which he perverts by resorting to his favorite methods - defilement, ridicule, scandal and profanity, plunge into despair of Catholic believers. As researcher Miles Christie writes, “ a person who blasphemes and commits sacrilege systematically, openly and skillfully, having deeply studied Catholic dogma, perfectly managing the media space, cynically using the moral influence that provides him with the enormous prestige of his religious authority, such a person, I would say, can only act under direct and by the voluntarily accepted influence of the prince of darkness, the prince of this world, the father of lies...».
Sooner or later, this connection between Francis and the father of lies was bound to come to light, which happened during his morning sermon on April 4, 2017 at St. Martha's Hotel. Significantly, the Vatican Radio report on this speech removed the most shocking statements from it, but they are present in the presentation of L'Osservatore Romano, published on the Vatican website and translated by the Free Catholic Gazette. Speaking about the attitude of Christians to the cross and the sign of the cross, the pontiff correlated the words of Christ " When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am”(John 8, 28) with the first reading of the Mass (Numbers 21, 4-9), which tells the story of a bronze serpent made by Moses in the wilderness to be bitten by snakes, which the Lord sent against the people of Israel as punishment for their grumbling and unbelief, looking at him, could be healed. Explaining this parallel, Francis turned to that passage from the Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, which says of Christ: For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that in Him we might become the righteous before God."(2 Corinthians 5:21). However, he used another translation of this phrase: "he who knew no sin he made sin." As a result, Francis used the expression “became a sin” seven times and, playing on the New Testament analogy of the “ascension” of Christ on the cross with the ascension of the bronze serpent by Moses in the wilderness, declared that since the copper serpent can be a symbol of the tempting serpent and the devil, then Christ, therefore, "took the form of the father of sin" and "became the devil."
Here is what L’Osservatore Romano writes: “The serpent,” the pope continues, “is a symbol of evil, a symbol of the devil; he was the most insidious of animals in the earthly paradise.” Since "the serpent was one who was able to deceive by means of deceit," he is "the father of lies: and this is a mystery." But what does it mean that we “should look to the devil in order to be saved? The serpent is the father of sin, the one who caused mankind to sin.” In fact, "Jesus says, 'When I am lifted up, all will come to Me.' Obviously, this is the mystery of the cross.” “The bronze serpent healed,” says Francis, “but the bronze serpent was a twofold sign: a sign of the sin committed by the serpent, a sign of the seduction of the serpent, the deceit of the serpent; but he was also the sign of the cross of Christ, he was a prophecy.” And “therefore the Lord says to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am.” Thus, says the pope, we can say that "Jesus 'became a serpent', Jesus 'became sin' and took upon himself all the abominations of mankind, all the abominations of sin. And He “became sin,” He gave Himself to be lifted up so that all people would look at Him, people wounded by sin, ourselves. This is the mystery of sin, and this is what Paul says: “He became sin” and took the form of the father of sin, the treacherous serpent.” “Whoever did not look at the bronze serpent, being bitten by a snake in the wilderness,” the Pontiff explained, “died in sin, in the sin of murmuring against God and against Moses.” power of God, who became sin to heal us, will die in his own sin.” For “salvation comes only from the cross, but from that cross, which is God made flesh: there is no salvation in ideas, there is no salvation in good intentions, in the desire to become good” ... The cross - he says further - “for some is the hallmark of belonging : "Yes, I wear a cross so that it can be seen that I am a Christian." “That's not bad,” but “it's not only a badge, like a team emblem,” but “it's a memory of who became sin, who became the devil, the serpent, for us; degraded to complete self-abasement.”
Finally, Francis said something that expresses the very essence of his worldview, which is based on the gnostic teaching of Freemasonry, which equalizes good and evil, black and white. Under these words, the Theosophists would readily subscribe, considering the tempting serpent as their god. Their mentor E. Blavatsky also openly demonized Christ, passing Him off as Lucifer: “Demonest Deusinversus”, “Logos and Satan are one”, “Lucifer is the Logos in its highest aspect. The Word is the firstborn The Word is the reborn brother of Satan. In the best traditions of Gnosticism Francis abundantly applies Christian concepts and plots, filling them with non-Christian content.. Putting a veil of "mystery" on the gospel text and staying, as it were, in the aura of the initiate, he gives him his own, false and perverted interpretation, replacing the entire patristic tradition. This is an expression of a werewolf religion, the final approval of which will lead to when, according to the theosophist E. Bailey, "there will be no divergence between the only Universal Church, the Sacred Lodge of all Masons and a narrower circle of esoteric societies."
And Patriarch Kirill calls this werewolf "the most holy."
15.10.2018 Savely G.Is there ecclesiastical truth in the so-called "Moscow Patriarchy"?
(from the letters of the catacomb bishop A. to F.M.)
Letter 2
God's grace be with you, my son!
I just wanted to explain to you my explanations about some of the current events in the Church of Christ, and now I also received a letter from you.
You again beg me to explain to you in detail: is there ecclesiastical truth in the so-called "Moscow Patriarchy", can it be recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church, can the so-called "Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy" be considered and honored as the spiritual leader of the Russian Orthodox people and, according to the rule of 34 Holy Apostles, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church.
My son, the fulfillment of this request of yours is very fraught with many sorrows. Many have already suffered for the word of truth about the "Moscow Patriarchate". Bishops and pastors who do not recognize the "Moscow Patriarchate" as an ecclesiastical canonical institution, as a rule, are not free, but remain in confinement, in bitter labors, in remote places. All those who speak out against the "Moscow Patriarchate" and denounce its leaders are subjected to cruel persecution. Now for us Orthodox, the words of the law "Freedom of Religion" can only be understood as the freedom of glorification of the "Moscow Patriarchate", "Patriarch Alexy" and his associates. And a word spoken against "patriarchy and patriarch" is considered a crime. And if you only knew how many people are suffering now just because their religious consciousness cannot recognize the "Moscow Patriarchate" as the embodiment of Orthodoxy in Russia. Here I am, explaining to you the truth of the Church, I run the risk of falling into the host of these sufferers very soon.
You write that you have not heard of new heresies and new persecutions against the Church of Christ lately. For ecclesiastical reasoning, this statement must be considered the most harmful and dangerous. The most cunning, most cunning, most bitter warfare of Satan against the Church has not ceased since the time of its founding. If you turn to the Apocalypse, you will find out that the struggle of the devil with the Church in the last times should not decrease, but intensify to the most extreme cruel degree. The enemy is constantly fighting with growing fury against the Church of Christ. Heresies and lawless assemblies gathered by the enemy under the guise of the Church, of course, do not experience such temptations as the Church experiences. The so-called "Moscow Patriarchate" is especially prosperous today.
About 15 years ago, when Renovationism was raging, there still existed on Russian soil a certain tolerance for dissent in matters of faith. All those who did not recognize Renovationism could condemn it and have their own shepherds. Now even this semblance of religious tolerance has been taken away. Try to speak openly now with denunciations of the so-called. "Moscow Patriarchate". Try to get permission to open a church community that does not recognize the so-called. "Patriarch Alexy" - this will be a great civil crime, and it is suppressed mercilessly. And alas, we must admit that such intolerance is increasing and progressing.
You write to me about the "Moscow Patriarchate" like this: "After all, this is some kind of half-truth, and can this half-truth be called the administration of the Russian Orthodox Church and be the leader of the spiritual and moral life of Orthodox Russian Christians?" I will answer directly, sincerely and clearly. Half-truth can never be true. The Church can never contain half-truth. But here it is not even a half-truth, but a pure lie of the enemy, or rather, a cunning forgery by him of the truth, the assertion of which is based on our lack of taste for truth. I will also answer you directly and sincerely: "Patriarch Alexy of Moscow and All Russia" cannot be recognized as canonical, that is, legally elected and appointed patriarch of the Russian Church.
You write that it is difficult to dispute the canonicity of the election of a patriarch, since he was elected by a council of the Russian Orthodox Church, and that council was attended by two Eastern patriarchs and representatives from others.
My dear. Recently, many different schismatics or schismatics have appeared on Russian Orthodox soil. And they all cite canons in their justification. Not so long ago, it was reported that one priest, one of the employees in the Moscow Patriarchate, exclaimed: "Although we sin, the canons are with us." If this is said out of naivety, then one can only feel sorry for this priest. What are the canons with them? Are the canons on the succession of the highest church authority with them? Are the canons about the disobedience of bishops in church affairs to atheists, especially those militant against the Church, etc., with them? Which of today's schismatics has not justified his activities with the canons?
Read any messages of the Renovationists, Gregorians and other apostates, they are all richly decorated with canons. Metropolitan Sergius also mentioned the canons in his defense. All those who sin against the Church have a desire not to obey the canons, but to force them to justify their untruths. And it often happens that even a non-theologian sees how the canons testify against them in the epistles of apostates.
For example, Metropolitan Sergius in one of his epistles cites the 8th canon of St. Gregory of Neocaesarea:
"Christians who molest the barbarians, attacking Christians together with them, are not accepted as penitents (hearers) until a special conciliar discussion about them."
Can't this rule be successfully applied to Metropolitan Sergius and to the Moscow Patriarchate? The same can be said about other canons used by Metropolitan Sergius, for example, the rules of Sts. Apostles 41, 34, Double Council 13, 14, 15.
All of them can be successfully used against those who use them.
Recall at least the history of the relationship between Metropolitan Sergius and the lawful Locum Tenens, Patriarchal Metropolitans Peter and Kirill, that you know. And they were rewarded by Metropolitan Sergius with judgment according to the "canons".
Dear my son. I am very bitter that the so-called. The Council of the Russian Orthodox Church with the participation of the Eastern Patriarchs has some kind of ecclesiastical value in your mind.
Who made this "cathedral"? Who elected the members of this "council"? Were Orthodox bishops really members of this? Is it true, as the rulers of this "sobor" assert, that the entire Orthodox episcopate of the Russian Church was present there? This is a blatant lie. Not a single Orthodox bishop, who truly loves the Church and lays down his life for Her, was present at this lawless council. You will say that at this council there were over 40 bishops and 126 representatives from the clergy and laity. But investigate carefully where these hierarchs and representatives from the laity came from, and then answer me, can they be considered members of the Russian Orthodox Local Council?
In order to see the real aims of the 1945 council, one must at least recall a little the history of our Church during the revolutionary period.
In the first years of the revolution, the enemies of the Church struck us down with fire and sword. Then they realized that these means were invalid, and decided to blow up the Church from the inside. They needed a church in which the episcopate would be obedient in everything to the authorities and servilely fulfill only its orders. With such an episcopate, anything could be done with the church. In order to create such a church, renovationism was fraudulently organized with the highest church administration and the episcopate, unprincipledly servile to the authorities.
If you remember the history of artificial renovationism, from which the Russian Church suffered so much, then you should know that in 1922, the so-called “renovation” also took place in Moscow. Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, which was attended by about 60-70 old Russian bishops, including Metropolitan Sergius. At this council, you know, great iniquities were committed: the canonicity of renovationism was approved and the great sufferer for the Church of Christ, His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon, who exposed the lie of renovationism, was condemned and deprived of his rank and monasticism. Then the Eastern Patriarchs also sent their greetings to this lawless council. Later this "council" was not recognized by anyone, and many of the bishops bitterly mourned their participation in it.
All Russian people saw that this cathedral was a Russian disgrace for our sins and lack of faith, that it was a gross desecration of the Holy Church committed by Her enemies, the mere memory of the 1922 cathedral should give deep reflection when assessing the 1945 cathedral.
In general, when discussing new church councils, it is also good to recall the judgment of a deeply Orthodox Russian theologian about them:
"There have been heretical councils, such as, for example, those at which a semi-Arian symbol was drawn; at which there were twice as many signatory bishops as at the Council of Nicaea, at which emperors accepted heresy, patriarchs proclaimed heresy, popes submitted to heresy. Why are these councils rejected The only reason is that their decisions were not recognized as the voice of the Church by the entire church people, that people and in that environment where in matters of faith there is no difference between a scholar and an ignoramus, a church man and a laity, a man and a woman, a sovereign and a subject, a slave owner and a slave, where, when it is necessary at the discretion of God, the youth receives the gift of knowledge, the word of wisdom is given to the infant, the heresy of the learned bishop is refuted by the illiterate shepherd, so that everything may be one in the free unity of living faith, which is the manifestation of the Spirit God" (A. S. Khomyakov, vol. II, p. 71, ed. 3rd).
After the Russian Orthodox people rejected Renovationism, the enemies of the Church, with the same goals, organized the so-called. Gregorianism. But he too suffered the same fate as Renovationism. Enemies have become more cunning. The adamant Metropolitan Peter, who became the Locum Tenens of the Patriarchal Throne after the death of Patriarch Tikhon, was removed and then destroyed. The authorities concluded an agreement with the malleable Metropolitan Sergius, according to which he was allowed to manage the Church, but instead of the word "govern", it would be more fair to put the word "destroy".
Indeed, from 1927 to 1941 (pre-war) the vast majority of churches were destroyed. All truthful clergy were expelled or went into hiding. The whole honest Russian episcopate, having an immutable faith, was partly tortured, partly imprisoned. 5-6 people remained free from the Russian episcopate, especially those who were servile to the authorities. Such were the fruits of Metropolitan Sergius' administration of the Russian Church, a administration, it must be said, completely canonically unfounded. Metropolitan Kirill (Smirnov) of Kazan, appointed as the first Locum Tenens in the will of His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon, openly called Metropolitan Sergius in his letters a usurper of church authority. During the reign of Church Metropolitan Sergius, the entire Orthodox episcopate, glorious in faith and good conscience, departed from him. The hierarchs of the Russian Orthodox Church did not desire the short-term sweetness of sin from the well-being of Metropolitan Sergius, but all went to the great Golgotha. Some of them even excommunicated Metropolitan Sergius from the Church. But the excommunicated from anyone did not want to recognize the judgment on himself. Having begun his administration of the church by recognizing godless joys as church joys, beginning with a pious desire to give what is Caesar's to Caesar, Metropolitan Sergius ended by giving to Caesar not only what is Caesar's, but also God's.
At the end of this administration, Metropolitan Sergius arbitrarily transferred himself from Deputy Locum Tenens to Locum Tenens, and then to All-Russian Patriarch.
You probably remember how it happened. In the autumn of 1943, Soviet newspapers widely announced the government's permission (or rather an order) for Metropolitan Sergius to urgently convene a Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church and elect a Patriarch of All Russia. The task was difficult. The entire true Orthodox episcopate, which was to form the Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, was in camps and prisons. Metropolitan Sergius had no one at hand, except for the 5-6 aforementioned bishops running after the chariot, and approximately the same number of bishops, consecrated by him in 1942-43, according to the instructions of state bodies; but they forced to assemble the cathedral, and Metropolitan Sergius was not timid. Two days after the permission for the council, we read in the newspapers that the council of the local Russian Orthodox Church had already taken place and that Metropolitan Sergius had been elected Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia within an hour. At this council there were 19 bishops, i.e., the entire episcopate available, which was subordinate to Metropolitan Sergius and acquired by him in the most recent time. Such a miserable assembly, called a cathedral of the Church, has not yet been seen by the Russian people.
If the Renovationists tried to reinforce their artificial building with church canons, of course, interpreting them as they wanted, then Metropolitan Sergius, when arranging the cathedral in 1943, voluntarily and involuntarily did not find it necessary to reckon with the canonical rules, as well as with the soul of the Russian Orthodox people. .
Incidentally, in 1944, a curious article about this cathedral was published in a magazine published by the Moscow Patriarchate. The author of this article, G. Georgievsky, complained that church-Orthodox circles abroad do not recognize the council of the Russian Church of 1943, while this council is recognized in our country "both by non-Orthodox and non-Orthodox organizations." It is difficult to think of a better description of this "cathedral".
Now consider who were the members of the cathedral in 1945. The reports about this council say that more than 40 bishops and 126 representatives from the clergy and laity participated there.
So little time passed from September 1943 to January 1945. Therefore, it is not clear where 41 bishops instead of 19 came from. In this respect, our curiosity is satisfied by the Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate for 1944. Looking at it, we see that the 19 bishops who existed in 1943 had hastily given birth in 1944 to the rest who were members of the 1945 council.
From the "Journal of the Moscow Patriarchy" we learn that these hasty consecrations were carried out in the vast majority of the Renovationist archpriests.
At the end of 1943 and at the beginning of 1944, by magic, all the Renovationists suddenly repented before Metropolitan Sergius. Repentance was simplified, without imposing any penalties on those who had caused so much evil to the Holy Church. And after a very short time, the “repentant renovationists” received high dignity, places and ranks, contrary to the canons of the church and the regulation on the reception of renovationists from 1925. It is appropriate here to recall the words of St. Cyprian of Carthage. In a letter to Pope Stephen about the council, he writes: “Presbyters and deacons, who, either having been ordained at first in the Catholic Church, subsequently became traitors and rebels against the Church, or among heretics false bishops and antichrists, contrary to the disposition of Christ, by impious ordination were placed and contrary to the one and only on the side of the divine altar, they tried to offer false sacrilegious sacrifices, which, when they are converted, must be accepted under the condition that they are admitted to communion as simple laymen. It is enough for them that they were enemies of the world, they accept the world; we should leave with them upon their return to us those instruments of ordination and honor with which they fought against us ... It is enough for such people to give one forgiveness during their communion, but it is by no means necessary to exalt treachery in the house of faith. from us and rebelled against the Church, then what shall we leave for the good and innocent who do not fall away from the Church" (creations of Cyprian K. Arthaginian, vol. I, p. 59).
Thus, at the beginning of 1944, the flock of Metropolitan Sergius was refreshed by renovationist streams and replenished with a large number of renovationist metropolitans, archbishops and bishops. If we add the testimonies of incorruptible eyewitnesses to the reports of the "Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate", then it can be established for sure that the new bishops, hastily consecrated for the new "sobor" in 1944, are Renovationist archpriests and clerics who survived the terrible persecutions, that all of them were presented for consecration by the authorities, and that with such an episcopate it is possible to arrange any kind of council and pass on it any kind of anti-church resolutions.
As the "Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate" narrates, "episcopal" consecrations before the "sobor" of 1945 took place as follows: the archpriest recommended (certainly by the civil authorities), almost always from the "reunited" Renovationists or Gregorians, was immediately tonsured into monasticism with a change of name and then through 2-3 days was placed in the "bishop of the Russian Church."
What are the great goals of monasticism and its meaning for these persons, what is the sanctity of hierarchy for them, if they receive it through the direct mediation of the atheists? Can such people be members of the Council of the Local Russian Church? Can they elect a Patriarch, the father of the Russian Orthodox people?
It can be recognized without a doubt that the overwhelming majority of the episcopate that was at this "council" received episcopal power, using worldly leaders for this. Such rule 30 Sts. He casts out the apostles and excommunicates them with all who communicate with them. Even if they receive consecration from Orthodox bishops, they are unlikely to be actual bishops. According to the exact meaning of the rules of the Ecumenical Councils, all those who, although they received consecration, received it through machinations and contrary to church rules, cannot be called bishops. Thus, for example, Maximus Cynicus was ordained bishop by a council of Orthodox bishops, but since he attained the episcopal rank through illegal intrigues contrary to the apostolic and patristic rules, the Holy Ecumenical Council pronounced the following decree about him:
"Below Maximus was and is a bishop, placed below on any degree of clergy: and everything done for him and done by him is insignificant" (see 4 pr. of the II Ecumenical Council).
Another question arises: in addition to the majority of "bishops" created by magic specifically for the cathedral in 1943-44 from church renegades, there were also several bishops present, supposedly of a fine, venerable appearance, who have been in the bishopric for quite some time. Are they really the same as the others?
My son. Believe me, believe the many who suffer for the Holy Church of Christ. There were no people at the council unnecessary for the atheists, and there could not be, for everyone who hinders them, everyone who fearlessly speaks about the truth of the Church, prudently was not allowed to this council. And who are you talking about as venerable-looking bishops? Here is Archbishop Philip Stavitsky, who was present there. Back in 1922, at a trial, he betrayed his father, His Holiness Patriarch Tikhon, and publicly outraged a church shrine there.
Here is the newly-appeared "Metropolitan Nikolai" (Yarushevich), whom Metropolitan Seraphim (Chichagov) spoke of as the most zealous servant of the revolution.
Here is another member of the cathedral, who was in Renovationism for 22 years, Renovationist First Hierarch Archbishop Vitaly (Vvedensky). How much evil has brought the Church. And now he is called to the Orthodox "sobor" as an authoritative hierarch.
Here is the so-called. "Archbishop" Alexy (Sergeev), who received the episcopal rank at the request of the authorities, shed a lot of blood of the best sons of the church through betrayal and was called the "bishop of hell" by Metropolitan Sergei himself.
Let's keep silent about the rest, because it is impossible to say a good word about them. Can this assembly, authorized to the Council only by the enemies of the Church, replace the Orthodox Russian Council and elect a Patriarch for the Russian Church? What about the laity? And the clear?
You will say that the clergy and laity were also present. But who chose them? Where did diocesan meetings take place? Who knows about it? None. The laity who were at the cathedral were members of church councils appointed by bishops and rectors of churches, or rather, recommended by the authorities to be at the cathedral. They cannot be recognized as representatives of the Russian Orthodox people. Moreover, we know that, according to church canons, the laity and the clergy cannot do anything without a bishop (see 4 Ecumenical Council, rights 8; 6 Ecumenical Council, rights 64).
Now the presence of two eastern patriarchs and representatives from others at such a "council" raises a perplexing question.
On this occasion, it is very appropriate to recall what kind of relationship the patriarchs had with the Renovationists. Everyone remembers that the patriarchs at one time sent special letters to the Renovationists recognizing them as the canonical administration of the Russian Orthodox Church. Everyone remembers that the Renovationists photographed these letters and hung them in beautiful frames in prominent places in their churches. Where are these certificates now? Perhaps the patriarchs really did have a truly good desire to be present at the election of the present Patriarch of the Russian Church, but then it must be admitted that they were cunningly deceived.
Already in 1948, the eastern patriarchs, as well as the Greek Church, refused to participate in the meeting proposed by the "Moscow Patriarchate", and some of the patriarchs refused a new visit to Moscow and, according to some reports, understood the deception ... How to explain the invitation of the patriarchs to the notorious " cathedral" in 1945 to a country where the Christian religion is considered "the most harmful and dark phenomenon of life"? Undoubtedly, the invitation of the patriarchs should be seen as a propaganda event - to show the whole world the freedom of confession of faith in the USSR. The main purpose of such an invitation is concern for the authority and external Orthodoxy of the Renovationist assembly, called by the rulers of the Moscow Patriarchate "the Orthodox Council of the Russian Church in 1945."
Of course, the bosses of the "Moscow Patriarchate" understood within themselves that they were creating not a Church Cathedral, but a fake of it. Of course, they were afraid that this forgery would be exposed.
Then, in full view, there was an embarrassing scandal with the so-called. "cathedral of 1943". So the patriarchs were now needed to support with their rank and significance the building of the great lie and deceit. Why the patriarchs were invited to Moscow for the "council" is understandable. But it is not entirely clear why the patriarchs accepted this invitation and came.
The most important thing to say about the presence of the patriarchs at the 1945 council is that they were only guests and did not participate in the decisions of the council. They can always say, as they have said before, that the affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church are now difficult to understand.
But even if the eastern patriarchs had approved the resolutions of the 1945 council, how great would be the value of this assertion? Alas, we know from the history of the Church that some patriarchs, for the sake of political, material and other reasons, sometimes affirmed many things that were anti-Church and then condemned by the entire Church.
On the thrones of the patriarchs, sometimes great lamps shone, and sometimes there were heretics condemned after the council. Who can say what reasons, for example, prompted the patriarchs to send the following decree to the Russian Emperor Peter I:
"To the most radiant and pious, the greatest in Christ, the Tsar of all great and small and white Russia, Sovereign Emperor Peter Alekseevich, is allowed to eat and partake of meat during all the good fasts of the whole summer" (see "The Complete Collection of the Laws of the Russian Empire", vol. 5, St. Petersburg 1830, No. 3020, p. 468).
We do not want here to belittle the authority of the patriarch. The eastern patriarchs themselves explained to us that in the Church of Christ neither the patriarchs nor the councils could ever introduce anything new, because the keepers of the faith with us are the very body of the Church, i.e. the people itself (see "Epistle of the Eastern Patriarchs" January 6, 1848). Here in this letter, I have only one wish - this is for the Russian people to understand the lawlessness of the so-called. "cathedral" in 1945.
This lawlessness and anti-canonicity depends on the following circumstances:
- The members of the council were people set up by atheists who carried out their secret anti-Christian goals at this council; the vast majority of them were renovationists.
- At this council, the Russian Orthodox episcopate suffering for the Church was completely absent, there was no great host of confessors who laid down their lives for the holy Orthodox Church (Canons of the 1st Ecumenical Council 5th and 6th 19th).
That is why all the decisions of this council do not have any ecclesiastical significance, or they have the same price for us as the decisions of the Renovationist Council of 1922.
Therefore, the very basis of the act of the Council of 1945 - the election of Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexy (Simansky) has no ecclesiastical canonical and spiritual and moral significance. "If you go somewhere else, that thief is also a robber" (John 10, 1).
All this was done by atheists with political and other dark goals, which have nothing in common with church ideals. This council, as well as the election of a patriarch at it, must be considered by all Orthodox Christians as a cunning, malicious forgery of the enemy under churchness. It was not the Holy Spirit who directed the deeds of the lawless assembly called the "council" of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1945.
There we encounter only such a phenomenon as cunningly disguised lies and deceit and apostasy from the truth, for the sake of goals hostile to the Church, and where lies and apostasy from the truth, the father of lies, the devil, is already at work (John 8, 44; Epistle John 3 , 8).
We must be glad that many are now versed in this fake. The toys of the enemy did not seduce many.
With great sorrow, the Russian people told me how the “enthronement” took place, that is, the enthronement of “Patriarch Alexy”, elected by the “sobor” in 1945, to the throne.
No one has ever seen such pomposity, such luxury and splendor as they were during this “enthronement”. The bright light of many electric lamps, huge precious carpets; in the middle of January, magnificent bouquets of fresh flowers are everywhere; glitter from gold mitres and diamonds on crosses, cameramen who shoot these pictures for propaganda and stupidity of the naive, dinner parties at the newly elected patriarch and at the chairman of the Council for the Russian Orthodox Church under the Council of People's Commissars - Karpov.
How much does all this need for Christ crucified in our country and for the Orthodox people?
What purpose did the founders of such "enthronement" give to this splendor, cod, splendor and wealth? Shouldn't all of this obscure, obscure, paint over the testaments of Christ and the true life of the Church?
“This is what we have achieved with our diplomacy, servility and betrayal,” the smiling and triumphant faces of the cathedral metropolitans, bishops and protopresbyters tell us, “why suffering, exhaustion, when everything can be achieved by our methods.”
Therefore, if the cathedral of 1945 is recognized as canonical, then it will be possible to say. that the Church of Christ does not need painful sufferings for the truth, does not need those hosts of martyrs and confessors, whom we now see in prisons and camps. Their wounds, their blood, their painful death are in vain. More right are those people who are distinguished by groveling before the atheists persecuting the Church, and who have sold their conscience and religious freedom to the new Cains and Pilates.
These are the conclusions we must come to if we recognize the council of 1945 and the patriarch elected at it as church property.
But it was not by God's grace, not assisting the grace of the Holy Spirit, that the "council" of 1945 was assembled and the "patriarch" was elected at it.
Other forces, another power, in everything opposite to the Church, made this "council" and "patriarch".
In peace for the fate of the Church of Christ, here it is possible to mention the words of St. Gregory the Dialogist: "Great is the power of the king. He can call a monkey a lion, but it is not in his power to turn it into a lion" ...
In the next letter, I will try to clarify to you the ways of Russian church truth in our time, and now I am finishing and calling upon you the blessing of God, the Protection of the Queen of Heaven and the intercession of all the saints of the Russian land.

“I express my heartfelt thanks to His Holiness Francis…”
From the speech of Patriarch Kirill at the meeting of relics
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker
From the very beginning of his reign, the Jesuit Francis, calling not to focus on canonical norms and aspects of the dogma, began to actively seek "renewal" of the forms of priestly service, setting his own behavior as an example. Having abandoned the traditional style of communication and forms of behavior, the pontiff began to allow himself the most extravagant actions and statements that confuse devout Catholics and shock unbelievers.
He visits priests who have left the ministry to start a family to demonstrate his "closeness and love" to them. He meets with same-sex couples, as he did during his trip to the US in September 2015, when he granted an audience to his former homosexual student and his "partner" and deliberately kissed them in the presence of the media (while dad himself called before visiting his student, expressing a desire to meet, and this meeting was clearly intended for the public and looked like a symbolic gesture). Just as openly, on camera, during his visit to Sicily, he entered the temple, holding the hand of the Italian priest Luigi Ciotti, a well-known fighter for the rights of perverts. In the presence of journalists, he kissed the hand of another ardent supporter of homosexuality - the priest Michele de Paolis, during the celebration of his anniversary in the House of St. Martha. The pontiff embraced him with the words "everything is possible", so that the hero of the day left, being extremely touched. De Paolis co-founded a gay organization called Agedo Foggia (2010), which opposes Catholic teaching on family and marriage. His approach to this issue is based on the usual assertions of perverts: homosexuality is not chosen, it is an orientation and part of personal identity, it is not a disease or a perversion, so homosexuals can enter into close relationships. Since the fact of the meeting of the pontiff with such a figure aroused bewilderment among a certain part of the believers, they asked the head of the press service of the Vatican to clarify the meaning of what happened, but did not receive an answer.
Francis appoints as his advisors liberal archbishops who speak out in support of same-sex marriage. He is making increasingly radical statements in support of sodomites, as he did in June 2016 at a meeting with journalists, when, commenting on the words of Cardinal Marx that the church should apologize to the gay community, he said: “We have to apologize for many , not just in front of gays. But we should not just apologize, but ask for forgiveness.” Not surprisingly, the pope remained silent when, in August 2016, Cardinal Marx was heavily criticized for publicizing a case of sexual abuse in the diocese of Trier, which he ruled from 2001 to 2007.
His words and deeds so impressed the pervert community at the beginning of the pontificate that in 2013 four American magazines, known for their commitment to decadent libertarian culture, chose him as "Person of the Year". First it was the Italian edition of the American magazine Vanity fair, in which sodomite singer Elton John declared: “Francis is a marvel of humility in an era when vanity flourishes. I hope he gets his message across to people on the margins of society, such as homosexuals. This pope seems to want to bring the Church back to the ancient values of Christ…” Another sodomite, the famous German couturier Karl Lagerfeld, also admitted in turn that he “loves the new pope very much, who has a wonderful look and a great sense of humor”, while admitting that he himself “does not need the Church” and “the concept of sin and hell." In December, "man of 2013" Francis proclaimed Time And The Advocate- the oldest publication in the United States, protecting the rights of homosexuals. It explained to its readers that the pontiff's proposals are "the most hopeful ever put forward against gays and lesbians" and that thanks to him "LGBT Catholics are now filled with hope that the time has come for change." With the same title (“Pope Francis: Times Are Changing”), an article about the pontiff was published in the pop magazine rolling Stone, with his photo on the cover.
So the destroyers of traditional values made the pontiff a symbol of change, the embodiment of absolute openness towards the modern era, which became another insult to the dignity of devout Catholics. But "tolerant" bishops and priests felt much freer.
Against the background of such a deep interest in perverts, the indifference of the pontiff to the Liturgy and the neglect of liturgical norms and liturgical singing became especially provocative. He made changes in liturgical practice, refusing to take part, together with the Christian people, in the procession with the Most Holy Gifts during the celebration of the Body and Blood of Christ, and did not kneel during the entire service. But in the rite of washing the feet on Maundy Thursday, he began to allow not only male parishioners to participate, but also women, among whom was a transsexual. In fact, the pontiff took advantage of the priesthood in order to promote feminism. He shocked even long-suffering believers when, in 2016, he went to celebrate Maundy Thursday Mass at the Center for Migrants, many of whom were not Christians, but Muslims. Even Catholics accustomed to multicultural shows were struck by the spectacle of the pope celebrating mass on a makeshift altar in front of a crowd of onlookers who do not understand the essence of what is happening, chewing gum and listening to the player, crossing his legs and filming it on expensive smartphones.
Moreover, Francis made it clear that liturgical practice would be subject to further changes. Already in October 2013, the pontiff purged the Congregation for Divine Worship, surrounding its head, Cardinal Sarah, with his people and introducing into it, including Archbishop Piero Marini, who is a supporter of a radical modernization of the liturgy. Then, by order of Francis, a commission was created, the purpose of which is to destroy, as observers write, “one of the strongholds of resistance to the excesses of post-conciliar liturgists,” instructions Liturgiam authenticam 2001, which established criteria for the translation of liturgical texts from Latin into modern languages. Some believe that with the establishment of this commission, the most radical ideas for modernizing the liturgical language will meet with support, and the instruction itself will be destroyed, which will pave the way for the revision of the document developed under Benedict XVI Summorum pontificum, who removed the restrictions on the celebration of the mass in the ancient rite.
The pope’s rude words cannot help but amaze the laity, such as, for example, about the parishioners, who, from his point of view, are present at the liturgy with insufficient joy: “What a disgusting thing - these Christians with distorted faces, sad Christians. Muck, muck, muck. Yes, they are not quite Christians. They consider themselves as such, but they are not in full measure”; or as about the spread of fake news in the media: "People have a morbid tendency to coprophagia."
The statements of Francis in sermons, interviews and conversations, his thoughts set forth in his books are imbued with moral and ideological relativism and even indifference, testifying to his rejection of the Catholic faith. Here are just a few of them.
With regard to atheists, he "has no proselytizing intentions," since "proselytism is pompous nonsense that makes no sense. We must be able to get to know each other, listen to each other and increase knowledge about the world that surrounds us.” “Every person has his own understanding of what is good and evil. Let him follow the good as he understands it ... This is enough to live in a better world. "People who do not believe in God will also be saved." “The Lord saved us all with the blood of Christ: everyone, not only Catholics. Everyone! “Father, and even atheists?” Yes, them too. Everyone!" “The Church is not against sex education. Personally, I think it should accompany the development of children, adapting at each stage. “I am not interested in whether the child is studying with Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox or Jews. I am interested in being educated and fed.”
Many were shocked by the sensational statement of Francis, sounded during a sermon about St. Peter, who baptized the Gentiles, regarding aliens: “St. Peter converted the barbarians to God's faith, despite the fact that they did not treat Christians very well. I fully support his act ... Imagine that Martians will fly to us tomorrow. They will be green and with big ears, like in children's drawings. And suddenly one of them will say: “I want to be baptized.” What are we to do then?" Declaring that the Bible does not discriminate against believers on any grounds, he continued: “When the Lord shows us the way, do we say: “No, God, this is unreasonable! We'll do it our way." Who are we to close our doors to anyone? . It seems that when Bergoglio's team reformulates the dogma of papal infallibility, the question "Who am I?" or "Who are we?" he won't have it again.
One of the characteristic features of the "teaching" of Francis was the blasphemy that he commits, absolutely arbitrarily interpreting the text of the Gospel. In one of his speeches, he stated: “When Jesus complained, 'My God! Why did you leave me?” - Did he blaspheme? This is the secret. Very often I listened to people who have experienced difficult, painful situations, who have lost so much or feel alone and abandoned, and who asked: “For what? For what?". They rebelled against God. And I answered them: "Keep praying like that, because this is also a prayer." Because when Jesus said to the Father, “Why did you leave me?” it was just a prayer.” That is, according to Francis, it turns out that Christ, turning to God with such a prayer, rebelled against God.
We see the same conjectures, which do not correspond to the traditional interpretations of Holy Scripture, in relation to the Mother of God. During one of his sermons, Francis stated that the Holy Virgin Mary experienced rebellious feelings at the foot of the Cross after His death and considered that the promises of the Angel during the Annunciation were false and that she was deceived. Here is what Francis says: “She was silent, but in her heart how many words she spoke to the Lord! You, on this day, told me that he would become great; you told me that you would give him the throne of David, his father, that he would reign forever, and now I see here! Virgo was human! And, probably, she wanted to say: Lie! I was deceived!
Francis loves to give free interpretations and personalities of Judas, about whom he spoke many times with sympathy and pity, in the spirit of the Gnostic " Gospels of Judas”, which has become popular since the time of Benedict XVI. In one of his sermons, he stated: “He was a bishop, one of the first bishops, right? Lost sheep. Poor thing! Poor brother Judas, as Don Mazzolari called him in his beautiful sermon: “Brother Judas, what is going on in your heart?” On another occasion, referring to the same Don Mazzolari, Francis, completely incorrectly explaining the significance of the sculptural image on the capital of the Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene in Vezelay (France), concludes: “On the one hand, Judas is depicted strangled ..., and on the other side of the capital - Jesus the Good Shepherd, Who carries him on his shoulders, carries him with Himself. It's a secret. But these people in the Middle Ages who taught the catechism with pictures, they understood the mystery of Judas. And Don Primo Mazzolari had a good speech... This priest... well understood the complexity of the logic of the Gospel. The one who got their hands dirty the most is Jesus. Jesus messed up the most. He was not “clean”, but he came out of the people, was among the people and accepted people as they were, and not as they should have been.
So, hiding behind the meaningful word "mystery", in this case referring to "poor Judas", Francis, passing off an unknown figure as Christ, casually again committed blasphemy. As one of the Catholic bloggers wrote, commenting on this “merciful” interpretation of the image of Judas, “we should not be surprised if sooner or later Bergoglio expresses doubts about the devil himself: he will tell us that in the end, the devil was good and God will forgive him, in accordance with the aspirations of Origen and the delusions of the Cainites.
When evaluating the statements and behavior of Francis, it is important to note that he understands very well what he is doing and why he is doing it. He is not an ignoramus or a superficial and mediocre intellectual with no experience in the performance of high official duties. As a Jesuit, he studied Catholic doctrine well, which is evident from the fact that all his heresies and false ideas are accompanied by the correct provisions of traditional teaching, which makes it difficult for an illiterate person to understand the essence of distortions. We are dealing with a cunning and insidious enemy of Christianity, whose words and actions are deliberately subversive and provocative and aimed at desecrating Christianity and destroying those spiritual and moral principles that still remain in the life of orthodox Catholics.
Francis himself outlined his mission in this way: “Vatican II ... decided to look to the future in the spirit of modernity and open up to modern culture. The Council Fathers knew that this openness to contemporary culture was synonymous with religious ecumenism and dialogue with non-believers. Since then, little has been done in this direction. I have a humble and ardent desire to do so.”
Indeed, we see that the "dialogue" led by Francis is effective only in relation to non-Christians and enemies of Christianity, while in relation to those who are trying to somehow resist the destructive processes in the Catholic Church, there is not even a hint of mercy. Francis is irritated by traditional morality, dogma, liturgy, which he perverts by resorting to his favorite methods - defilement, ridicule, scandal and profanity, plunge into despair of Catholic believers. As researcher Miles Christi writes, “A person who systematically, openly and skillfully blasphemes and commits blasphemy, having deeply studied Catholic dogma, perfectly manages the media space, cynically using the moral influence that provides him with the enormous prestige of his religious power, such a person, I would said, can act only under the direct and voluntarily accepted influence of the prince of darkness, the prince of this world, the father of lies ... ".
Sooner or later, this connection between Francis and the father of lies was bound to come to light, which happened during his morning sermon on April 4, 2017 at St. Martha's Hotel. It is significant that in the message " Vatican Radio" about this speech, the most shocking statements were removed from it, but they are present in the presentation " L’ Osservatore Romano”, published on the Vatican website and translated “ Free Catholic newspaper". Speaking about the attitude of Christians to the cross and the sign of the cross, the pontiff correlated the words of Christ “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that it is I” (John 8, 28) with the first reading of the Mass (Numbers 21, 4-9), which tells the story of the bronze serpent made by Moses in the wilderness, so that those bitten by snakes, whom the Lord sent against the people of Israel as a punishment for their murmuring and unbelief, by looking at him, could receive healing. Explaining this parallel, Francis turned to that passage from the Second Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, which says of Christ: sacrifice for sin, that in him we might become the righteous before God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). However, he used another translation of this phrase: "he who knew no sin he made sin." As a result, Francis used the expression “became a sin” seven times and, playing on the New Testament analogy of the “ascension” of Christ on the cross with the ascension of the bronze serpent by Moses in the wilderness, declared that since the copper serpent can be a symbol of the tempting serpent and the devil, then Christ, therefore, "took the form of the father of sin" and "became the devil."
Here is what he writes " L’ Osservatore Romano":" "The serpent," continues the pope, "is a symbol of evil, a symbol of the devil; he was the most insidious of animals in the earthly paradise.” Since "the serpent was one who was capable of seducing by deceit," he is "the father of lies: and this is a mystery." But what does it mean that we “should look to the devil in order to be saved? The serpent is the father of sin, the one who caused mankind to sin.” In fact, "Jesus says, 'When I am lifted up, all will come to Me.' Obviously, this is the mystery of the cross.” “The bronze serpent healed,” says Francis, “but the bronze serpent was a twofold sign: a sign of the sin committed by the serpent, a sign of the seduction of the serpent, the deceit of the serpent; but he was also the sign of the cross of Christ, he was a prophecy.” And “therefore the Lord says to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am.” Thus, says the pope, we can say that "Jesus 'became a serpent', Jesus 'became sin' and took upon himself all the abominations of mankind, all the abominations of sin. And He “became sin,” He gave Himself to be lifted up so that all people would look at Him, people wounded by sin, ourselves. This is the mystery of sin, and this is what Paul says: “He became sin” and took the form of the father of sin, the treacherous serpent.” “Whoever did not look at the bronze serpent, being bitten by a snake in the wilderness,” the Pontiff explained, “died in sin, in the sin of murmuring against God and against Moses.” power of God, who became sin to heal us, will die in his own sin.” For “salvation comes only from the cross, but from that cross, which is God made flesh: there is no salvation in ideas, there is no salvation in good intentions, in the desire to become good” ... The cross - he says further - “for some is the hallmark of belonging : "Yes, I wear a cross so that it can be seen that I am a Christian." “That's not bad,” but “it's not only a badge, like a team emblem,” but “it's a memory of who became sin, who became the devil, the serpent, for us; degraded to complete self-abasement.”
Finally, Francis said something that expresses the very essence of his worldview, which is based on the gnostic teaching of Freemasonry, which equalizes good and evil, black and white. Under these words, the Theosophists would readily subscribe, considering the tempting serpent as their god. Their mentor E. Blavatsky also openly demonized Christ, passing Him off as Lucifer: “Demonest Deusinversus”, “Logos and Satan are one”, “Lucifer is the Logos in its highest aspect. The Word is the firstborn The Word is the reborn brother of Satan. In the best traditions of Gnosticism, Francis abundantly uses Christian concepts and plots, filling them with non-Christian content. Putting a veil of "mystery" on the gospel text and staying, as it were, in the aura of the initiate, he gives him his own, false and perverted interpretation, replacing the entire patristic tradition. This is the expression werewolf religion, the final approval of which will lead to when, according to the theosophist E. Bailey, "there will be no differences between the only Universal Church, the Sacred Lodge of all Masons and a narrower circle of esoteric societies."
And Patriarch Kirill calls this werewolf "the most holy."
