Concessions to the Faith are Unacceptable: The Holy Tradition, Saints, Fathers, and Ascetics Speak in Defense of the Orthodox Faith

The rules already exist, the doctrines too, unfortunately we do not know them or we know them incorrectly. Therefore, it takes time and effort to correct what is not correct or misinformation. To be sure, we recognize that all of us may fall, as the Latin expression Caer est?permitido, levantarse es obligatorio...." tells us: (it is allowed to fall, however, it is mandatory to "get up." Επιτρέπεται να πέσεις, επιβάλλεται να σηκωθείς").

We hope we have barely scratched the surface as to why the heretics and schismatics are not a good company in any form with Orthodox. Therefore, let us reconsider our friendliness and direction of unity with quick mind, sober (prudent) logic, and sober heart (γρήγορο νου, σώφρονα λογισμό, και καρδία νηφουσαν).

Therefore, we need a change in both attitude and behavior from our leaders. That is, we need true orthodox leaders with faith and conviction about the faith.

The heretics of old were iconoclasts, and challenged the Holy Spirit, The divinity of Christ, and many other ideas. Today many hierarchs, and theologians have become church fighters, crusaders (cross fighters), calendar fighters (even though the new calendar was both illegal and without consent of the Church, gospel fighters (do not recognize the four gospels as authentic), and many other non-orthodox traditions - even services.

That is why we all must defend our faith and uncover the corrupt ideology of ecumenism. Our way is not their way; our Tradition is not their tradition. To paraphrase the words of St. John the Maximovits, San Fransico, and Shanghai: Our place in the scheme of the present reality is to be fighters and confessors for pure and undefiled truth of Christ. Period!
