EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis) Does Bartholomew have anything to say about this? Met. Epiphanius is directly under him as “Cacocephalous”… Bartholomew – through the frequent visits of Met. Emmanuel of Chalcedon also gets a serious income from Kiev. Will Bartholomew make a statement against these sacrileges? Will he explain that Orthodoxy does not accept homosexuality as anything but a sin? NO – of course not… Helleniscope has challenged the Patriarch to ask the French Police for the report that proves that Met. Emmanuel and his assistant Maximos invited Bulgarian Gay escorts into the building of the Metropolis – and punished them. Bartholomew refuses… He also removed from the internet earlier videos of himself denouncing homosexuality as a sin…
To our Archons: Shame on you!!

Epifaniy’s guest bishops from Scandinavia turn out to be LGBT supporters
Bishops and bishopesses who prayed at St. Michael’s Cathedral participate in gay parades and support same-sex marriages.
Most of the Lutheran bishops and bishopesses who prayed at the “liturgy” of the OCU at St. Michael’s Cathedral and were received by Dumenko at his residence turned out to be LGBT supporters.
This information became available to the UOJ from open sources.
The head of the Lutheran Church of Iceland, Bishopess Guðrún Karls Helgudóttir, regularly participates in gay parades, organizes flash mobs in churches for priests to use stoles (a liturgical vestment) in rainbow colors, and uses a crucifix in LGBT colors.
She supports her transgender daughter and states that the Church of Iceland is “in debt to the queer community”.
The Chairman of the Norwegian Bishops’ Conference, Olav Fykse Tveit, stated in 2022 that the Church should apologise because it made “the living situation of people with an LGBT identity difficult through [its] attitudes and the way [it] behaved.” He regularly participates in gay parades and keeps an LGBT flag on his desk.
Archbishop Tapio Luoma of Finland supports same-sex marriages. He also participates in “rainbow” gatherings. Speaking about homosexuals, Luoma emphasizes that Christ is “close to those who are rejected by others.”
Bishop Peter Skov-Jakobsen of Copenhagen proposes a same-sex marriage rite. He believes that the church should be “open” towards such couples: “The ritual for same-sex marriages shows a church rooted in an Evangelical Lutheran tradition of interpreting the Christian Gospel in its contemporary setting. As a church we are highly conscious of interpreting in present and not in past time.”
He also said that “the Gospel creates openness towards people and now at last also openness towards same-sex couples. In that way our national church will now reflect the wider society, which is incredibly important”.
Archbishopess of Sweden Antje Jackelén also supports same-sex marriages: “I hope that one day all priests will want to marry same-sex couples.” But she does not see discrimination happening today and coercive measures as a way forward.
Earlier, the UOJ wrote that Dumenko, at a meeting with Lutheran bishops, claimed that the law banning the UOC was approved by the Venice Commission.
Yikes!
There’s no more excuses how the Church of Greece, Alexandria and Cyprus can still recognize this schismatic Frankenstein group
(**at least portions of those Churches accept the OCU**)
The proof is there laid out in plain.
Fortunately, this has probably been the last nail in the coffin for any other Orthodox Church to recognize the OCU. There was not a big chance for that anyways but coupled with the persecution of Met. Onuphry and the UOC in general, this is just more proof not to accept this sect.
Mt. Athos NEEDS to categorically reject Dumenko and the OCU outright, which I believe most monasteries already have. But, as if they needed anymore proof the OCU is not of God and not of Orthodoxy, this should be it
Dumenko does this and then he tries to push his way on Mt. Athos with the aid of the “one without equals”. What a disgrace!

Well if I was in Greece I would definitely protest his coming. I hope Greeks realize this and shout “shame” to them. I do not expect all the monasteries to receive them but unfortunately there are weak spots even on Mt. Athos and 1 or 2 monasteries will most likely receive them. They can go for a photo up and to yell “glory to ukraine” since they forgot all about God. Shame is the appropriate word for it.
So this is what Black Bart and his American minion Elpidokontos call holy? Anaxios to all of them.
We have already seen the “pearls being cast to the swine” with this “tomos” fiasco…
What we have not yet seen is the “herd of unrepentant swine” permanently severing themselves from Orthodox Church governance and following the “rainbow kaleidoscope” of heretical swine herds into oblivion like the lemmings in Antarctica…
“Μή πεποίθατε ἐπ’ ἄρχοντας, ἐπί ὑιούς ἀνθρώπων, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι σωτηρία” – Psalm 145
“Let God arise and his enemies be scattered…”
Would like to add, I can almost guarantee that Bartholomew is going to bring Dumenko, or some other OCU goons, to the consecration of the new national cathedral in Bucharest at the end of the month.
This would explain the random comment that Elpi made to the Romanian government official recently. It is also on brand to do this considering he did the same thing to the funeral liturgy of the former Bulgarian patriarch.
Be on the watch out, Bart is yet again trying to force Dumenko and the OCU down the throat of Orthodoxy.
First with Mt. Athos this Friday and next it will be in Romania at the end of the month
They look like fools, going places where they are not wanted. Neither ROmania nor Mt. Athos nor Bulgarian Church recognizes Dumenko. I’d be so embarrassed to show up somewhere where my legitimacy is in question.
