How old is the Orthodox faith?

Esphigmenou is a monastery on the Holy mount Athos.

The fathers of Esphigmenou struggle against the heresy of ecumenism which states that there is no one church which possesses the Truth. The Orthodox Church believes, as the monks of Esphigmenou Monastery believe, that the Church has never lost the Truth or its unity. The Nicene Creed states the Orthodox Church's dogmatic basis, "I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I believe in one baptism." Ecumenism rejects these fundamental truths of the church by teaching that there are many churches and many baptisms.


The beliefs of ecumenism and the beliefs of Orthodoxy are mutually exclusive. You can either believe in the Creed or you can believe in ecumenism, not both. By embracing ecumenism Patriarch Bartholomew has embraced a belief in conflict with the teachings of the Orthodox Church. This is what the monks object to and what they wish to discuss with the Patriarch. There is not a single saint of the Church, ever, who believes in what Patriarch Bartholomew teaches and practices with regards to ecumenism, and this has caused great concern on the part of the monks. The Patriarch refuses to allay those concerns and refuses to engage in constructive dialogue with the monks. He has, however, demanded an apology in writing for questioning him.


Apparently the continued peaceful praying of the monks cloistered in their monastery has become too much to bear for the local Greek prosecutor, Vassilis Floridis. He has asked that the monks be forcibly removed from Esphigmenou monastery, the only home they know, and either thrown into jail, or discarded onto the streets of Greece . Like a zealot bent on the total destruction of his enemy, the Greek prosecutor has become a persecutor against these peaceful monks. Unable to shatter their continued peaceful life of prayer by dragging them into court on a series of concocted charges, he now wants to use the tool of choice that enemies of the church have used throughout history force of arms.

Items under EMBARGO:

All food deliveries.
Medical Supplies.
Physician's visits prohibited (monastery has diabetic monks and heart patients).
Fuel for heating, cooking etc.


Other inhumane actions by Ms. Bakoyannis Greek government:

Monastery's fishing boat has been refused fishing rights and threatened with seizure by Greek Authorities.

Monastery's telephone line has been cut to prevent outside world of learning of this human rights abuse.

Electricity in Monastery's small dairy farm has been cut off.

Monastery's Farm Tractor used to till the land has been seized by the Greek Police.

Greek Special Forces Police in numbers exceeding 200 men were deployed, on two separate occasions, to violently remove monks from the Monastery, but both times the plans were foiled when the world was alerted by this website to the Greek Government's plan.

Greek Police chief of Mount Athos has yet to arrest any of the well known, marauding gang sledgehammer wielding men who have TWICE attacked the fathers of Esphigmenou Monastery, with crowbars and sledge hammers, sending seven fathers with serious injuries to the hospital. Instead of arresting the men responsible, who are under the blessing of Patriarch Bartholomew, the Greek government prosecuted the victims, the monks of Esphigmenou and sentenced them to two year prison terms.

Vendor with truck, attempting to sell food to the Esphigmenou monks and provide a living for himself and his family, was arrested by Greek police and banned from entering Mt. Athos again, for a period of 5 years. This not only denied food to the monks, but deprived the vendor's family of its ability to earn a living.

Greek area fishermen, who take refuge during storms at the Monastery's dock, are fined by the Greek Coast Guard 100- 200 Euros for taking refuge at the Monastery.

Patriarch Bartholomew, in violation of the Mt. Athos Charter, created an imposter brotherhood with the same name "Esphigmenou". The impostor brotherhood has tried to confuse the outside world by writing letters informing the general public and foreign governments that all is well at Esphigmenou Monastery. The letters are signed by the impostor and illegally elected Abbott Chrysostomos.

The above are glaring violations not only of the Mount Athos Charter, but also numerous Articles of the U.N. Charter on Human Rights, the European Union Charter on Human Rights and a number of International Treaties dealing with basic human rights, to which the Greek Government is signatory to and is now violating.

  • Lord have mercy what is happening to you people. I believe the Catholic Church is in error but to say such things, I am Orthodox and I will die Orthodox but call Catholics satanist? If you wish to win over the west, do so in humble teaching and even more so in LOVE. Would God honor any of this message board? Would he say to you right on i should smite them? If your heart truly is in Christ then your words and actions and intentions would be of Love.

  • Greek people need to wake up because little by little they are becoming catholics....by changing chalender from old to new, putting chairs in, ecumenism with protestant and catholic heresy....many saints warned us about this....open ur eyes people....let us not be one of those who have eyes but do not see and have ears but cannot hear....we gotta stop the ecumenism!!!

  • @justinisha

    The Patriarch is being extremely hateful towards Esphigmenou monks. How is THAT Orthodox? The Patriarch promotes union with the Papacy. How is THAT Orthodox?

  • Mia zoe the greeks trogonde!!! they will never move forward,what a shame!!!

  • in all due respect to all denominations, the true church is living and can hide in caves, float on water, and even climb into paradise. you guys sit and argue about dead stones when the true church consists of living stones. living stones have feet. dead stones are buildings.

  • Im Serbian Orthodox and we have the same problem with our new patriarch Irinej beighn an ecumenist like Bartolomey......that is very bad....both of them need to ask God for forgiveness because they do not know what they do.....ecumenism is the most terrible heresy of our time that if we dont stop it will lead us all into hell along with our bishops and patriarch...God forbid.....ecumenism is the seed of freemasonry and the instrument by the west....how can people be so blind....greek people need

  • @nuduaspiaggia Hahah you are unbelievable. You're practically saying that all the people who are not Catholics will only go to heaven if they recognise that the Pope, a human, is infallible!!! It's not a matter of "pride", it's a matter of faith which some would rather not preserve for a man who gets "elected" in an administrative position for life, dresses himself in gold and pretends to be impeccable.

  • @Nickbully The West is not to be won over, but you are to submit to the authority Christ has given her. Denying her authority over you will keep you from Paradise.
