A protest by numerous faithful is being planned outside 79th Street tentatively for next Tuesday, July 19, at 5 pm – stay tuned for more info!!
By Nick Stamatakis
It would be the joke of the year if it was not true: The atheists of Syriza (yes, this is the political party of Alexis Tsipras who did not even want to take an oath of office on the Bible a few years ago!!) issued an announcement supporting AB Elpidokotonos!!
Yes, my friends, this is the ONLY organization that put together an effort to support him – THE ATHEISTS!!! Their announcement reads like a 19th century marxist manifesto… Let me remind all of you that the atheist marxist groups even at the early stages had forseen that the only way they would have any chance at “changing” society would be to destroy its foundations – and FAMILY and FAITH are the most important ones!!!
Let’s not allow them to do so!!!
NEXT TUESDAY 5 pm A GROUP OF CONCERNED FAITHFUL WILL GATHER TOGETHER OUTSIDE 79TH STREET TO PRAY AND TO PROTEST, TO DEMONSTRATE AND TO DEMAND:
- The ANAXIOS ARCHBISHOP HAS TO BE REMOVED!
- HE HAS LOST ALL EXTERNAL GOOD TESTIMONY AFTER DECEIVING THE METROPOLITAN OF GLYFADA IN GREECE – HE IS NOT TRUSTED BY THE FAITHFUL ANYMORE!!
- THE FAITHLESS LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH HAS TO FOCUS ON FAITH AND MINISTRY NOT ON MONEY.
- ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY NOW!! HOW MUCH LONGER WILL GOARCH BE UNDER THE FEDERAL PROBE?
- MAKE THE CHURCH CHRIST-CENTERED AGAIN! NOT KARLOUTSOS-CENTERED! NOT ARCHONS-CENTERED!!
- COME BY AND HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD!! DRIVE BY AND HONK!! THE TIME IS NOW!!
- GOARCH SHOULD BE MADE INDEPENDENT FROM THE CORRUPT PATRIARCHATE!! AUTOCEPHALY NOW!
Meanwhile, the faithless Archbishop made believe that nothing is wrong and went on to a divine liturgy in the monastery of Saint John the Baptist in Serres, followed by a Metropolitan of Nea Ionia who also faced “holy hell” for comments favoring homosexuality. He was also followed by the abbot of Moni Xenofontos in Mt.Athos. Let me note here that many scandals have surrounded this monastery of St. John the Baptist for many years!!
At the same time, it became known that Patriarch Bartholomew, who is visiting Greece, spoke with Archbishop of Greece Ieronymos for at least one hour (some sources say that they met in person in Ioannina) and the subject was AB Elpidophoros’ act to baptize the adopted (through surrogate mother) children of a gay couple by misleading the local Metropolitan of Glyfada Antonios! The Church of Greece has announced a special session of the Holy Synod for July 18th to discuss this issue extensively!
It is also known that the Patriarchate has also announced a Holy Synod for the 21st of July to make decisions on the GOARCH Charter among many other issues.
Finally, in a separate post, you can read the rebuke by Met. of Pireaus Seraphim of Elpidophoros!!
Let me once reiterate Helleniscope’s position and the position of the majority of the faithful: ALL PEOPLE, CRIMINALS INCLUDED, ARE WELCOME IN THE CHURCH. THE CHURCH IS ABOUT SALVATION. But we cannot make their lifestyle or any marginal group accepted as mainstream in our church and community!!
IF ELPIDOPHOROS WAS AN ORTHODOX JEWISH RABBI WOULD HE EVER DARE TO EVEN THINK OF WHAT HE DID LAST SATURDAY NIGHT? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! AND WOULD ANYONE IN THE PRESS DARE SUPPORT HIM? (Not that anybody is supporting him now – beyond the fringe leftists/ATHEISTS of SYRIZA in NY…)
Here is the full text of the LAUGHABLE press release BY THE LEFTIST / ATHEIST SYRIZA:
“The SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance New York Group of Members declares its full support to Archbishop Elpidoforos of America against the immoral attack he has been receiving for a few days from church and far-right circles. These obscurantist and reactionary circles are calling for his removal, due to his performance of the baptism ceremony of two children of a same-sex couple in the Holy Temple of Athens on Saturday 7-9-2022.
This action by the Archbishop, which supports same-sex couples and recognizes the same rights as other citizens, is welcome and absolutely necessary if the Orthodox Church wants to keep pace with the modern inclusive society, without excluding people based on their sexual orientation and of their identity or that of their parents.
The next government of SYRIZA – Progressive Alliance must legislate the right to marry with full rights for all same-sex and non-formal couples, expanding the legislative section introduced in 2015 (Law 4356) by extending the cohabitation agreement to same-sex couples. Equality and equal rights have no exceptions.
YES! As former Anglican Priest Chip Wheeler said: strike while the iron is hot.
Please invite your friends and any clergy open enough to confront the dragon in our midst. We must stand up to this bully!
I’ll make signs to hold up so Archdiocese will be discombobulated and tell Elpi it’s time to step down and go back to Istanbul.
Any suggestions for the sign slogans?
Make sure the signs have absolutely nothing to do with social issues but stick to Orthodox issues, like the fact that he is not rightly upholding the faith. Remember, politics is involved here and the GOA has ties with Huffington Post and other media. The news headlines will be unfavorable to the faithful and make Elpi look like a martyr for his social justice causes. The whole thing could backfire and make him look like a victim if any issues outside the faith are brought in. These evil people have tactics to manipulate situations in thier favor. Dont give them any ammunition aka, anything to use against us.
Make sure somebody takes a BULLHORN to the protest next Tuesday evening. The people MUST be heard in an unequivocal way. Otherwise, the archbishop and his staff will just ignore you. Go hard or go home! (I would join you, but I live a continent and an ocean away from New York.)
Please, someone—bring the ROTTEN TOMATOES! PLEASE!
Bring your voices to unite with the other faithful!! Bring your signs! Bring your prayers!!
The Atheists of Syrizia- What and who are they? Never mind.
Absolutely laughable!
The local branch of the Tsipras party…
Mr. S.– Is it true or fake news that the leader in Greece of SYRIZA has allegedly non-baptized children? A while back there were reports they hadn’t been when he led that ill-fated government…
I think it may be true but I will have to verify
Signs are being designed by the California Resistance Group and will be sent to NY. Let us know your ideas on slogans in the comments. ANYONE that has friends and family in NY, ask them to stop by and support the great people trying to take our church back from the Manhattan Taliban and the East 79th Street Gang! That is a shout-out to our old friend LMC… And LMC will be spreading the word about NY for the Resistance.
All we ask is that you spread the word and stop by if you can. If not us, then who? If not now, then when?
Being Greek Orthodox is not just a privilege, it’s an obligation. We ALL must help remove the Karloutsos Crime Family and his SS Archons and make our Church Christ Centered again. These thugs have bullied generations, and our priests are too spineless to speak up for their flock… This is the Greek Orthodox Communities Church, not theirs! They have run it into the ground Spiritually and Financially and lined their pockets in the MILLIONS while honoring themselves with Awards using the church’s money. They are literary doing it in the open now… What would your parents say? What would your grandparents say?
Support the Resistance in any way that you can and Protest on Tuesday!
PS,
The Karloutsos Crime family and his Puppet Archbishop NO HOPE are just lucky my Yia Yia has passed because if she were alive today and saw what they turned OUR Greek Church into, she would take out her koutala and chase them back to Turkey where they belong!
There is one slogan for the Resistance Zoey “KOUTALA THEM BACK TO TURKEY.”
👏🏻👏🏻😂
How about:
-Take the first Turkish flying carpet back home!
-Watch out, Turkish flying pantofla to the head!
-Ataturk, your hero!
-Greeks against globalist swine!
-Bc you WOKE, we went broke!
Nick can ya bring the bullhorn?
former Rev. Wheeler sounds right.
@Sparticus @Helleniscope
I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out to the local Antiochians, OCA, other jurisdictions and have them join as well.
We might be different jurisdictions but we are ONE Church so there should be representation from all across the board, not just the Greek Archdiocese.
Show the charlatans at 79th that we are a completely unified Church against them.
Spartacus – please can you make signs to
defend the Assembly of Bishops?
We agree with Assembly of Bishops to not accept defrocked Russian scoundrel Alexander Belya who forged signature of late Met. Hilarion Kapral.
Thank you kindly.
Here’s another— “Keep Your Globalist Narrative/Agenda Out of our Churches!”
Hi Larissa,
If you help bring some people in Tuesday I will make that one for you. Show up drive by and honk we all can do something.
The goa accomplished in just a few hours what the kke and the other kommies were unable to do during a multi year and bloody civil war. Period
How bad is it when your major supporters are a communist atheistic group of leftwing anarchists (SYRIZA)-a failed political party of Greece, hated by the majority of Greece’s people-and you’ve managed to turn your own religious followers against you? What a feat! I don’t think the archdiocese has ever fallen to such a low position in all its years of existence as it has today. What a great way to celebrate it’s centennial!
IT’S ABOUT TIME FOLKS!
Save Our Church from the demon gang…
ELPI GO BACK TO TURKEY!
Word to the wise, be outwardly calm and faith-focused else we will be taken for “unhinged” rather than our unhinged Elpi.
Slogan suggestions:
Abp Elpdophoros STOP hijacking the faith
Stand with Christ, not Abp Elpidophoros
The Laity REJECTS corrupted leadership
Follow the FATHERS, not the money
Elpidoktonos KILLS hope for vanity
ANAXIOS ANAXIOS ANAXIOS
I’m sure there are a thousand more.
LOVE JESUS
❤️
NOT $$$
Yes!
