There are many ecumenist-minded priests who are simply deceived, yet well-meaning. Others pretend to be ecumenist-minded in order to provide an essential help from within for if only ecumenists seem to represent the Orthodox, more harm can come this way. We must also understand that many such crimes today ta!e place against the will of Orthodox clerics, who have no desire to participate in ecumenist symposia and certainly not in co-prayers, because we are under a terrible persecution. "nfortunately, some high-ran!ing ecclesiastical factors are given little choice today. Therefore let us not #udge individuals and more importantly let us loo! behind the scenes. We will not find Orthodoxy in symposia I!" #hat rooms or formal statements$ We $i!! find Orthodoxy from our blessed geronda$s euche and from other pious Orthodox %hristians that &od will bring in our lives.

THE DEATH OF A SMILING POPE

1awn of 2eptember 34, 1456. The smiling .ope 7ohn .aul ), in the world 8lbino *uciani, who had only been elected to the .apacy 99 days ago, lies dead on his bed. 8 doctor, who had never until then examined the .ope, rules :without an autopsy; that he had died from a heart attac! during his sleep. 'one of the physicians at <atican %ity, however, are willing to sign a death certificate under such a diagnosis. The =oly 2ee denies categorically the conduct of an autopsy, even though the rumours and suspicions that the .ope had been poisoned multiply everywhere. >umours that soon turn into an avalanche, when his successor is elected/ the totally un!nown to most people .ole %arol <oitila becomes the first foreign .ope after ?@@ years. This fact certainly annoyed the )talians and increased the spreading of rumours, full of maliceA These rumours are not of course bac!ed by direct evidence, but the truth is that many people sighed with relief on the death of this .ope. *i!e for example, the 8merican bishop .aul %assimere (arcin!us. ,eing in charge of the ,an! of the <atican and of all of the =oly 2ee$s financial connections, the gigantic bishop has #ust passed a nightmarish 2eptember. -veryone in the <atican are certain that his decapitation by the .ope is imminent, by recommendation of his bitter enemy, cardinal &iovanni ,enelli from Blorence, who played a decisive role in the promotion to the .ontificate throne of the obscure 8lbino *uciani. The sudden possibility however of having (arcin!us removed by 8lbino *uciani causes panic to circles of the "2 secret agencies, to the (afia, to the (asonic *odge .3 of )taly, and :obviously; to the extremely powerful .apist financialpolitical circles A The announcement of the death of .ope *uciani causes feverish activity on the part of 7oseph >atCinger, the &ermanic archbishop of (unich, for the promotion by any means of the .olish cardinal %arol <oitila to the .apal throne. >atCinger$s position however is not only or partly due to some age-old personal sympathy towards <oitila.

A FRIEND OF THE GERMANS

8 few days before the death of .ope 7ohn-.aul ), the 8rchbishop of Dra!ow, <oitila, having had >atCinger$s full support, has already succeeded in the impossible/ to arrange a visit for the first time of the anti-&erman archbishop of the .olish %hurch, cardinal <ishins!i, to West &ermany+ and an unconditional one at that. This meant a political-religious success for >atCinger of the greatest calibre, since the totally reactionary West-&ermanic 2ynod of %atholic ,ishops does not recognise the official .olish borders :E;, something that has caused a continuous coldness between the two %hurches, during the .ost-war period. Bour years before all this, in the year 145?, <oitila, then 8rchbishop of Dra!ow, after ten whole years of struggles, having been closely connected to the West-&ermanic %atholic organisation .ax %hristi of the %hristian 1emocrat .arty of West &ermany, elicits the consent of his bishops and becomes the first .olish hierarch to pay a formal visit to West &ermany. =e manages a second visit in 1455, before the commencement of the feat of the <ishins!i visit is arranged in 2eptember of 1456. The West &ermany .ress and his circles of power enthusiastically call him a philo-&erman . This political stance of his benefits him in October of 1456, when the %onclave convenes to choose the successor of the unexpectedly F mysteriously for others F removed .ope *uciani/ the West-&erman cardinal >atCinger and his compatriot cardinal =effner play a ma#or role to the election of %arol <oitila as .ope 7ohn-.aul )). <oitila is not politically ungrateful. )n 1461 he places 7oseph >atCinger as the head for the 2afe!eeping of the 1ogma of the Baith F or &rand )nGuisitor to his opponents.

THE AMERICAN FRIEND

)t is said that some rich 8mericans have a gift for spotting talent. The spotting of <oitila as a talent , indeed, belongs to the "28. 2ince the early 145Hs, the man that is connected to <oitila is Ibigniew ,rCeCins!i, who in 1455 will become adviser of 'ational 2ecurity of the "2 .resident 7immy %arter, and is considered the most extreme haw! of his government. )n 145J, while the "28 are duly worried by the elevation of the national liberating movements in *atin 8merica and the alliance with these of the local .apist hierarchs, clergy and laity, Washington attempts to affect, as much as possible, the election of the next .ope :.aul <) is ill;. )n this setting, %ardinal Terence %oo!, archbishop of 'ew Kor!, travels to .oland in order to form his own opinion about <oitila. =e meets him, becomes enthusiastic with <oitila, and the same year invites him to the "nited 2tates to give a tal! at =arvard "niversity. )mmediately following his speech, <oitila appears for the first time formally in the .ress as a possible successor to the .ope :=arvard %rimson , 9H.5.145J;E )n the "28, <oitila is also invited to give tal!s at various seminars arranged by the far-right .apist organisation Opus 1ei that was connected to Branco$s fascist regime of 2pain :approximately at the same time as all these events too! place;+ so closely in fact, that A 1H out of the 14 ministers were its membersE The fascist %atholic organisation Opus 1ei publishes <oitila$s speeches in a boo!, sends them to select religious and political circles of power and begins the promotion of his candidacyA The sudden election of 8lbino *uciani, however, brings all these plans to a halt. =is speedy death though sets in motion the promotion procedure for <oitila$s ascension to the .apal throne, a procedure that was successful as we all !now.

HOLY MONEY

)n the financial area, %arol <oitila cancels the late *uciani$s plans for removal of (arcin!us as the financial adviser of the <atican :the institute for the wor! on religion, or )O>, which is !nown as the ,an! of the <atican ;. )n those days, the )O> was the most important shareholder of ,anco 8mbrosiano that in the early 146Hs was the largest private ban! of )taly. )n the 14JHs, the <atican, fearing predomination by the %ommunists and currency instability, illegally moves )talian lirettas to the "28, converting them to dollars+ lirettas that are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. This is done through the services of the infamous ban!er (ichele 2indona, who holds strong connections to the (afia and governs important credit institutions and partners in the "28. When the <atican repatriates its money, it also receives as a bonus the 8merican bishop .aul (arcin!us from %hicago. 8t the same time, >oberto %alvi becomes general manager in 1451 and president in 145@ of ,anco 8mbrosiano, wor!ing closely with 2indona/ both are members of the (asonic *odge .3, that plays a very important role in the political life of )taly, as it is connected with 8merican secret agencies and in the past has played an energetic role in the carrying out of coup dEetat operations. )n 145?, however, 2indona$s activities ban!rupt, and himself is imprisoned in the "28. =is wor! is ta!en over by %alvi and ,anco 8mbrosiano. ,ishop .aul (arcin!us becomes president even of its sister ban! in 'assau, ,ahamasE &radually, the political situation begins to change. )n 'ovember of 1456, one month after the election of .ope <oitila, the (ilanese #udge -milio 8lessandrini gets a warrant for the arrest of %alvi and of the managerial council of ,anco 8mbrosiano. Two months later, on 34 7anuary 1454, the #udge is murdered. The warrant is not carried out. On the contrary, the manager of the ,an! of )taly and the ban!s inspector are both removed from their positionsE The prime minister at the time is 8ndreotti, personal friend of *. &elli, who is the head of *odge .3. )n early 1461, the 2ecretary of Treasury ,eniamino 8ndreatta secretly notifies the <atican to cut off all relations with ,anco 8mbrosiano and %alvi in particular. This however is impossible to do because, through this ban!, (arcin!us has channelled an astronomical amount :between @H and 1HH million dollars, depending on which source you read; to 2olidarity in .oland, for the undermining of the regime. Thus, when in (arch of 1461 the police brea! into the villa of &elli and find secret documents and lists of members of the *odge .3, the scandal reaches terrible proportions, since its activities now threaten directly democracy in )taly. .anic seiCes the <atican. The Borlani government Guits. On 3H 7uly 1461, >oberto %alvi is sentenced to four years$ imprisonment. This does not mean that he actually goes to prison. 'ot only does he stay a free man, but %alvi

is also elected, four months later, as the president of ,anco 8mbrosiano+ which, however, is on the border of ban!ruptcy.

HOLY MAFIA

On 1 2eptember 1461, bishop (arcin!us meets with %alvi and they tal! about an amount of one billion dollars+ an amount that is missing from the shop front -sister ban!s of ,anco 8mbrosiano in the ,ahamas, in .anama, in *ichtenstein and in *uxemburg. 8n amount that has most li!ely been used for subverting activities and bac!ing of dictators in *atin 8merica, but also for bribery of politicians, #udges, reporters etc. in )taly. On 36 2eptember 1461, <oitila ma!es (arcin!us an archbishop amidst this storm of events and fully supports him. %alvi feels the rope tighten around his nec!. =e tries to defend himself, by blac!mail/ )f ) open my mouth, the priests will have to sell 2aint .eter in order to pay off their debtsE he will confess to his daughter 8nna. =e will never in fact tal!. On 16 7une 1463, his body will be found hanging underneath ,lac!friar$s by the Thames, in *ondon. The (afia has done a good #ob. )n 7uly of the same year, the )talian 7ustice 1epartment calls archbishop (arcin!us for an inGuest, so that he can explain the financial connections of the <atican with ,anco 8mbrosiano. (arcin!us, having already received prior !nowledge of this, will have left his flat in >ome and will have shut himself inside the <atican, where the )talian 7ustice has no #urisdiction. The document of inGuest call, without having been opened, is returned from the <atican to the Boreign Office of )taly as unacceptable A 8fter some time, and after the =oly 2ee agrees to pay of its own volition 3?H million dollars so that ,anco 8mbrosiano does not go ban!rupt, archbishop (arcin!us is helped to escape to the deserts of 8riCona, "28. On 3H (arch 146J, (ichele 2indona, the other ban!er, who had been sent from the "28 to )taly in 146?, will also be found dead+ poisoned in his cell A

This is not of course our (essiah as they re#ected %hrist as a nation but another (essiah whom they await for. 8ccording to the ,oo! of >evelation this will be the despicable 8ntichrist who will deceive not only them but also many others that are away from the -cclesia, allodox, heterodox and ecumenist Orthodox, as he will appear first as a worldly ruler uniting all religions into one , and eventually as a god. 9 Bor example, %anon J@ of the =oly 8postles. ? %ertain individual ecumenist Orthodox hierarchs decided of their volition to participate in this travesty and blasphemy.

What matters is that they will appear in front of the True 7udge on day, who #udges deviant priests a lot more strictly than lay, and what will the poor souls be able to say thenM )t will be too late then. The Orthodox %hurch$s dogmatic theology fully condemns such actions.

This way, all the false religions on earth, including the religion of the Talmudist 7ews, were ac!nowledged. The .apal temples, having already been void of the =oly 2pirit under the delusion of schism and heresy, now were stripped totally by the grace of &od, because they were defiled by the abominations of the idolaters, magicians and 2atanists. Bor as the *ord says in the =oly ,ible/ The sacrifices of the impious are an abomination unto the *ord :.roverbs 31/35;. -ven the .apists reacted strongly against this tumble of apostasy of the anti%hristian demonic .aul-7ohn )). The reaction of %ardinal (arseille *efebvre was characteristic. *efebvre had disagreed with the new ecumenist innovations of <atican )) :14J914J@; and now finalised his schism with the <atican, after the anti-%hristian events of 8ssisi, )taly, in 146J. On 9H 7une 1466, *efebvre, ignoring the <atican, ordained four .apal bishops as successors to his wor! and characterised the .ope as an antichrist. The antichrist , he said specifically, lives at the <atican :*a >epublica, 9H 7une 1466;E =e continued and said that antichrists hold all the important positions in the %hurch of >ome .

We believe it was his A 1?th incarnation but we could be wrong. Bor a good introduction to Brancis$ asceticism, please read the lin! http/00www.orthodoxinfo.com0praxis0francisNsarov.aspx .

*efebvre continued/ The 1ay of the 8ssisi constituted a terrible humiliation :%orriere 1e *a 2era, 1 7uly 1466;. The delusions of the .ope lead the %hurch to her demolition and to the destruction of %lergy , he added :*a >epublica, 1 7uly 1466;. We don$t want to be contributors to the destruction of the %hurch, *$ -xpress recorded on 1 7uly 1466. Turning to his numerous followers he motioned to them/ Kou will be persecuted but you have the duty of disobedience towards the .ope :*e (onte, 1 7uly 1466;. 8 long time before him however, the defender of Orthodoxy 2t. (ar! of -phesus had said/ >un away from the .apists in the same way you !eep away from sna!es E :(. 91. ,$ 1939J;. This dawned yet another 2chism among the realms of the .apal %hurch. (any more had already moved away due to the innovations of <atican )). <atican ) had also resulted in 2chisms :e.g. Old %atholic %hurch; F and of course the 1Jth century resulted in the well-!nown 2chisms of the >eformation :that led to the %ounter->eformation;. 1ue to .apism$s prideful demonic tendencies to see! power, the Western %hristian %hurch eventually abandoned Orthodoxy in the 11th century and over time was reduced to a conglomeration of parasynagogues and semi-ethical ideologies. The results of the virus of heresy are most evident today/ it is split in thousands of pieces, each claiming to be the, or part of the One, =oly %atholic and 8postolic %hurch of %hrist, each group forgetting or putting aside the fundamental dogma of the -cclesia that teaches that the %hurch, being the ,ody of %hrist, can never be divided or fall into apostasy+ that the =oly 2pirit leads to unity, whereas only the 1evil leads to division. 'aturally, these congregations being outside the %hurch were guaranteed to eventually embrace 'ew 8ge pseudo--cumenism. This is where the spirit of delusion has led the West.

2t. (ar! the -ugenicus is the main reason the pseudo-union with the .apists did not happen. When all the Orthodox representatives had succumbed to the pressures of >ome and signed the accursed agreement, (ar! was the only one who did not vote. 8nd, history has recorded the following famous words, uttered by the .ope at the time/ 2ince (ar! did not sign, we achieved nothing .

STEPINAC: A MONSTER AWAKENS

Bebruary 39, 14?3. 8rchbishop 2tepinac, =ead of the %roatian =ierarchy, welcomes 8nte .avelic at the opening of the "stase &overnment in Iagreb. 2tepinac was a steady, Cealous and efficient partner of .avelic$s 1ictatorship. =e supported the "stase &overnment from the beginning until the end. )ndeed, even after "stase %roatia collapsed following the disintegration of 'aCi &ermany. 2tepinac was not only the =ead of the %ouncil of %roatian ,ishops and of the %ommittee which carried out a policy of forcible conversions+ he was none other than the 2upreme (ilitary 8postolic <icar of the "stase 8rmy. When "stase %roatia fell in 14?@ as a result of the defeat of 'aCi &ermany and .avelic had to run for his life, 8rchbishop 2tepinac, in a vain effort to save the >egime, succeeded him as =ead of "stase %roatia. 2tepinac ordered special ceremonies in all the %atholic churches on .avelic$s birthday, and he freGuently invo!ed the blessing of &od upon the "stase. On the same day as the &erman 8rmy had entered the capital of %roatia, one of the chief "stase leaders, Dvaterni!, proclaimed the )ndependent 2tate of %roatia :8pril 1H, 14?1;, and, while fighting between the &ermans and the Kugoslav 8rmy was still going on in the ,osnian mountains, 8rchbishop 2tepinac called on the leader of the "stase and urged all %roats to support the 'ew %atholic 2tate. On that very day the newspapers of Iagreb carried announcements to the effect that all 2erbian Orthodox residents of the new %atholic capital must vacate the city within twelve hours, and that anyone found harbouring an Orthodox would immediately be executed. On 8pril 19 8nte .avelic reached Iagreb from )taly. On the 1?th, 8rchbishop 2tepinac went personally to meet him and to congratulate him on the fulfillment of his life-wor!. What was .avelic$s life-wor!M )t was the creation of perhaps the most ruthless Bascist tyranny ever to dishonour -urope. On 8pril 19, 14?1, .avelic reached Iagreb. On the 1?th, 8rchbishop 2tepinac blessed him. 8t %atholic -aster , 14?1, 2tepinac solemnly announced from Iagreb %athedral the establishment of the )ndependent 2tate of %roatia. On 8pril 36, 14?1, he issued a .astoral *etter, ordering the %roatian clergy to support the new "stase 2tate. On 7une 36, 14?1, 2tepinac, with other ,ishops, visited .avelic. 8fter promising total cooperation with him, 2tepinac prayed for him. We implore the *ord of the 2tars to give his divine blessings to you, the leader of our people, were 2tepinac$s words.

8s 2upreme (ilitary 8postolic <icar of the "stase 8rmy, 8rchbishop 2tepinac participated in military and political functions, mingling with the Bascist, 'aCi and "stase %ommanders. 8t one time 2tepinac directed "stase guerrillas following .avelic$s flight. =e established contacts and coordinated the scattered "stase bands, directing priests and mon!s to act as liaison with them. When, finally, on 'ovember 6, 14?@, "stase %roatia disintegrated, 2tepinac reconsecrated the "stase %rusaders$ force with a fiat in his own %hapel. 8fter which he received a pledge from "stase intellectuals to fight to the end for the liberator of "stase %roatia. =e was in constant contact with the "stase detachments raiding Orthodox villages and towns. 8lso with the 'aCi occupational forces in and outside %roatia. 1osite#, Orthodox ,ishop of Iagreb, capital of the )ndependent 2tate of %roatia, where 8rchbishop 2tepinac had his residence, lost his reason as a result of the tortures inflicted upon him before his expulsion to ,elgrade. Three Orthodox ,ishops, .eter Iimon#ic of 2ara#evo, 2ava Trla#ic of .las!i, and .laton of ,an#alu!a, were murdered. )n the village of (i!leus, 14?3, a %atholic parish priest converted in bul! hundreds of peasants. (any %atholic priests were at the head of the "stase. Witness priest (ate (ogus, of the parish of "dbina, in the province of *i!e/ We %atholics, he told the to-beforcibly-converted 2erbs, until now have wor!ed for %atholicism with the cross and with the boo! of the (ass. The day has come, however, to wor! with the revolver and with the gun. Bather 1. 7uric, a Branciscan, was appointed head of a (inistry charged with plans for the systematic conversion of all those Orthodox who had been spared from %oncentration %amps or massacre. (ost of the forcible conversions were duly announced by diocesan bulletins. Witness, Datolic!i *ist, was an organ of the ,ishopric of Iagreb, controlled by 8rchbishop 2tepinac. )n its issue 'o. 91, 14?1, it reported that a new parish of over 3,9HH souls had been created in the village of ,udinci, as a result of the entire village having been re-christened to the %atholic Baith. %ollective resistance was met by ruthless collective punishment. Thousands embraced %atholicism in this manner. Bollowing their conversion, the new %atholics wound in a procession to the local %atholic %hurch, as a rule escorted by units of piously armed "stase, chanting about the happiness of having at last become the children of the true %hurch, and ending up with Te 1eums and prayers for the .ope. 8s if this were not sufficient, the villages where 2erbs had been re-christened had to send congratulatory telegrams to 2tepinac. Bor the eager 8rchbishop had, as befitted a good shepherd, ordered that the news of any mass conversions performed in any parish throughout %roatia be sent directly to him. Telegrams bearing such happy tidings were printed in the "stase paper, 'ova =rvats!a, as well as in 2tepinac$s own official 1iocesan 7ournal, Datolic!i *ist. )n its issue of 8pril 4, 14?3, the former printed four

such telegrams, all addressed to 2tepinac. )n these, the mass entries into the bosom of (other %hurch were laconically and succinctly described. One, for example, read/ 3,9HH persons assembled in 2latins!i 1renovac, from the villages of 1renovac, .usina, Dras!ovic, .re!orecan, (il#ani and &#ursic, accepted today the protection of the %atholic %hurch and send their profound greetings to their =ead. Thirty per cent of Orthodox 2erbs in the 'ew %roatia were converted to %atholicism within a remar!ably short period. The use of fear of losing property, or even life, however, was still not sufficient for most members of the %atholic =ierarchy engaged on this type of proselytisation, and whenever resistance was encountered, %atholic clergymen ordered and, in fact, they often carried out the execution of many Orthodox. When collective resistance was met, ruthless collective punishment was inflicted upon the reluctant Orthodox. (ore often than not that meant torture and even execution. Bor list of names of %atholic priests who personally committed such crimes, see (artyrdom of the 2erbs :p. 15J;, prepared by the 2erbian -astern Orthodox 1iocese, for the "28 and %anada, .alandech$s .ress, %hicago, 14?9. 8rchbishop 2tepinac, had he been willing, could have punished them, with military sanctions, as their military vicar. )t is sinisterly significant that the <atican permitted 2tepinac to become military vicar, in October, 14?H, before Kugoslavia was invaded.
