All this should be considered and seriously taken into account by all those steadfast in “Christian love,” and at the same time persistently and forcefully defending, for some reason, their right “to disagree.”  To this group belong all contemporary modernist theologians who preach Ecumenism, or the imaginary “union of all,” and not only the union of all “Christians,” but also Jews, Moslems, and pagans.  In short, it is the union of all heretics, who retain their full right to “disagree,” seemingly confirming the teaching of our Holy Orthodox Church, in the person of the Apostle Paul.

 

To such clearly heretical teaching there is now suddenly added “inter-communion,” when people not belonging to the Holy Orthodox Church are allowed to approach the Holy Chalice, directly opposing the order of the Divine Liturgy established by our Holy Church.  According to established practice only the faithful may receive Communion, and even be present in the church during the Mystery of the Eucharist.  Everyone else must leave the church when the priest says, “As many as are catechumens, depart.”

 

See how these people who so blatantly violate one of the most important rules of our Holy Church even dare to call themselves “Orthodox” and try, by way of all kinds of false interpretations of the Word of God, to justify their “dissension” with the age-old teaching of the Universal Church of Christ.  And what is especially horrible - they take shelter behind their imaginary “Christian love” for the “dissenters.”

 

O how great is the evil of these contemporary evil-doers, how unlawfully do they misappropriate for themselves the patent on “Christian love,” and all those who disagree with them they accuse of a lack of “Christian love,” and even fanaticism!

 

The remarkable success which these “much loving evil-doers” enjoy during our time can be explained only by the fact that contemporary people, - among whom are many Orthodox Christians, - have departed too far from true faith in God, in Christ, and in the Church.  They do not know the Word of God and are unfamiliar with the teaching of the Holy Fathers and the Church’s decrees, and it is easy to lead them into error by “smooth words” and “flattery,” as the Apostle Paul emphasized even in his time (Rom. 16:18).  There are also some among them who have a great weakness for gifts and presents and readily follow after anyone who will give them, not troubling themselves to investigate their teaching, whether “it be of God” (Acts 5:39).

 

                  These words of the Holy Apostle Paul, “...for there must be also heresies among you” (I Cor. 11:19), contemporary modernist theologians and ecumenists interpret totally arbitrarily, for their own advantage, not bothering to think that they are adulterating the Word of God and thereby they sin mortally.
