Our regular readers are very familiar with the personality of the Metropolitan of Mesogaias and Lavreotikis Nikolaos – (here is his short bio), and you can use our search button to find more… Please follow this link to his Metropolis website to fill your heart with his sermons and talks with English subtitles... Even before Helleniscope was established, I proposed him as the next Archbishop of America before Elpidophoros was elected… Unfortunately, the powers that be (U.S. Deep State, Turkey, and even Greece) wanted a mind-numb puppet and “elected” one…
But what Met. Nikolaos did yesterday is truly remarkable: His speech introducing the debate at the special session of the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece (regarding same-sex marriage) is a monument of Orthodox Bioethics from someone who combines the scientific knowledge, charisma, the divine inspiration and the life experience to deal with such a difficult issue. I encourage all of you to read the full 30-page Introduction to the Holy Synod by Met. Nikolaos, please link here MESOGAIAS SPEECH AT HOLY SYNOD ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN GREEK and here it is in English INTRODUCTION BY MESOGAIAS NIKOLAOS ON SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
Below, we are posting for one more time his inspired video (English subtitles) on homosexuality. We are also posting a summary of his speech yesterday. But it is worth your time to read the whole 30 pages. Please use the links above in Greek and English. It’s a rare text…
==================
SUMMARY OF METROPOLITAN NIKOLAOS SPEECH
- The family is a cell of cultivation of its members, spouses, and children. A necessary condition for its operation is maintaining moral principles that are in harmony with the natural conditions. Any violation and alteration of physiology is contrary to morality.
- Gender identity is defined by biological factors, a person’s anatomy, physiology, genetic imprint, and hormones, not sexual tendency or orientation. It is not defined by appetites, by what I think of myself, or by how I feel, but by what I am.
- Marriage is not a right. It is an institution. The Constitution protects it because it sustains, reproduces, and advances the nation. On the contrary, the propaganda about gay marriage rights and equality and the possible passage of the bill undermine the nation and in this sense are anti-national.
- Until now, what we have known from the LGBTQ community was the aversion to family, marriage, children, institutions, and the Church. And now they ask for the protection of the state for what their ideology and practice fought against. They do not ask for them because they have changed their minds but to distort them as they please. And the government agrees.
- The problem, then, is not that they vote for the bill but that they support it and present it as progress. While they perceive that the conscience of their deputies, to which they appeal, is contrary, they proceed by all means to rush it.

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ ΤΗΣ ΟΜΙΛΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΜΗΤ. ΜΕΣΟΓΑΙΑΣ ΝΙΚΟΛΑΟΥ
Η οικογένεια είναι κύτταρο καλλιέργειας των μελών της, συζύγων και παιδιών. Απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση λειτουργίας της είναι να συντηρεί τις ηθικές αρχές που οπωσδήποτε εναρμονίζονται με τους φυσικούς όρους. Κάθε παραβίαση και αλλοίωση της φυσιολογίας αντιβαίνει στην ηθική.
Η ταυτότητα του φύλου ορίζεται από βιολογικούς παράγοντες, την ανατομία, τη φυσιολογία, το γενετικό αποτύπωμα, τις ορμόνες του ατόμου, όχι από τη σεξουαλική τάση ή τον προσανατολισμό. Δεν ορίζεται από ορέξεις, από το τι νομίζω για τον εαυτό μου ή από το πώς νιώθω, αλλά από το τι τελικά είμαι.
Ο γάμος δεν είναι δικαίωμα. Είναι θεσμός. Τον προστατεύει το Σύνταγμα επειδή συντηρεί, αναπαράγει και προάγει το έθνος. Αντίθετα, η προπαγάνδα περί δικαιωμάτων και ισότητας των ομοφυλοφίλων στον γάμο και η τυχόν ψήφιση του νομοσχεδίου υπονομεύουν το έθνος και υπό την έννοια αυτή λειτουργούν αντεθνικά.
Αυτό που μέχρι τώρα γνωρίζαμε από την κοινότητα ΛΟΑΤΚΙ ήταν η απέχθεια προς την οικογένεια, τον γάμο, τα παιδιά, τους θεσμούς, την Εκκλησία. Και τώρα ζητούν την προστασία του κράτους γι’ αυτά που η ιδεολογία και η πρακτική τους πολεμούσαν. Δεν τα ζητούν επειδή άλλαξαν γνώμη, αλλά για να τα παραμορφώσουν κατά το δοκούν. Και η κυβέρνηση συναινεί.
Το πρόβλημα, λοιπόν, δεν είναι ότι ψηφίζουν το νομοσχέδιο, αλλά ότι το υποστηρίζουν και το προβάλλουν ως πρόοδο. Ενώ αντιλαμβάνονται ότι η συνείδηση των βουλευτών τους, την οποία επικαλούνται, είναι αντίθετη, προχωρούν με κάθε μέσο βιάζοντάς τη.
His Eminence Nikolaos makes Bartholomew & Elpidoktonos look like absolute gutter trash ~
but great news is ~ the green curtain of heretics has been lifted!

Σύσταση
Η συμφωνία δύο ενήλικων προσώπων, ΑΝΕΞΑΡΤΗΤΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΟ ΦΥΛΟ ΤΟΥΣ,με την οποία ρυθμίζουν τη συμβίωσή τους (σύμφωνο συμβίωσης) καταρτίζεται αυτοπροσώπως με συμβολαιογραφικό έγγραφο.”
Το Συμφωνο Συμβιωσης καθιστα περιττο τον νεο νομο για τον σλλοκοτο και παραλογο γαμο για του ομοφυλοφιλους
EXACTLY the standard bogus excuse was… “Well we can’t enjoy the same legal benefits of companionships as heterosexual companions joined. There is NO NEED to pretend that people of the same sex can be married… this is just a strategem to attack and create havoc within the Church… and in that sense it’s CATEGORICALLLY a Daemonic strategem… each individual who promotes such abhorrent and antihuman policies like Schismatophoros does should be rightfully called Daemonophoros, or Satanophoros… There goal is to divide and destroy the Church of Christ. However… there is one thing that the fudgepacking or rugmunching community has right… Married couples with no children should NOT enjoy Tax exemptions that are aimed to help parents raise children… Also, Adoption should ALSO be banned… NO HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO purchase other human beings or extract them from their biological parents… Those people who want to help orphans can sponsor them financially they can financially help their families raise but they cannot acquire them via adoption… So we have to BAN Adoptions by ANYONE… and also Ban Tax benefits for childless couples… We should also ban ANY fertility methods deny the offspring connection with their biological parents… so no more anonymous sperm, or egg banking either… I know the canibalistic medical establishment will frown at these but we gotta do them and push for them CONSISTENTLY
If this law passes, will the Church of Greece separate from the government and be its own institution? Will Greek priests still receive their salaries from the government?
The one has nothing to do with the other.
Also- can someone verify the Church of Greece’s stand on Baptizing at 18 (children of gays.)
There are no children of gays… there are trafficked children abducted by people who assert that they only have sexual relations with men at the time they made that assertion. What ArchBishop Hieronymos said is that once the Children become adults then they can choose to join the Church in Baptism, but parents who are not unrepetant sinners and not willing to adhere to the tenets of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC church cannot bring their children to be baptized…
We would be fortunate and blessed to have a hierarch like this in America. Do you know his teaching on ecumenism? Ukraine schismatic group? Multiple jurisdictions in America, etc?
Metropolitan Nicholas voted against recognizing the fake Church in Ukraine in 2019.
Extraordinary resume Nikolaos.
A breath of fresh air at last.
Resumes don’t mean much… Does he have the spine, guts, balls to defend the Faith and the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC Church? That’s what matters… Schismatophoros had a good paper resume… but in practice he is probably worse than Arios, Nestorios, The Popes and other schismatics and heretics… Schismatophoros knows better but does worse INTENTIONALLY… there are no more excuses or grace periods, or acclimation and acculturation periods… Elpidophoros desecrates the Holy Communion (the fact that STILL!!!! there are unworthy and unfaithful Priests who use multiple spoons is a proof of that), he mocks the sacraments like he EXPLICITILY and KNOWINGLY did with Baptism, Marriage but also Confession… since he doesn’t believe in the need of repetance (metanoia) and unapologetic sinning is perfectly ok for him… He is in communion with Schismatics in Ukraine but also here in the USA which makes him excommunicated by default, joins in worshipping and prayer with Schismatics, Heretics and other religions… showing that he doesn’t believe our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ is the One and Only Truth… And of course let’s not forget he is making priests not to dress as Priests should, violating the Canons that govern the attire of Priests and their behavior… he is ostracizing the Greek language, he is using mediocre and misleading English translations… need I say more? He is UNWORTHY. I think Parishes which were founded before GOARCH need to disentangle from GOARCH stop paying whatever dues GOARCH illicitly is extracting from them and saveguard their property… While GOARCH is run by an unDeserving and UnWorthy Metropolitan who tramples Holy Scripture, the Holy Tradition and the Holy Canons… there is no liturgical and sacramental life within the Archidiocesan district. I hope in other Metropolises of the USA the Metropolitans differentiate their position from the one of Schismatophoros… but I am not very optimistic… It’s quite a disgrace and disrespect to our ancestors who formed with blood, sweat and tears these Churches to now be confiscated and usurped by Schismatics, Heretics and Infidels…
