            Third warning against participation in Astana meeting

Your Beatitude,

the meeting in Astana is a milestone both for You and the Orthodox Church. Thanks to this event the spirit of orthodoxy will be exchanged for so-called unity with pagan religions. This meeting is externally motivated by “peace” and “unity”. What unity can there be between Christianity and paganism? “What accord has Christ with Belial? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2Cor 6:14-15) In addition, the meeting will be held in a pyramid-shaped building. Your participation in Astana will be a gesture similar to that made by Pope John Paul II in Assisi. It will be a start of an internal process of secularization (cf. aggiornamento of Pope John XXIII). By his gesture in Assisi 26 years ago, ex-Pope John Paul II cut the roots of the Christian teaching in the Catholic Church. Thereby he opened the door for the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist – to enter the Church. Subsequently, such syncretistic parades of Catholic apostates and heretics were repeated annually in different cities. This brought about a change of mind in the Church to such an extent that the worship of Christ and the worship of demons have been put on an equal footing, which is the greatest crime and heresy denying the essence of Christianity. Instead of the unicity of salvation in Christ, a false way of reverence for and unity with the spirit of antichrist has been paved. This apocalyptic tragedy of the Western Church culminated in the so-called beatification on 1 May 2011 which signified the official elevation of the spirit of Assisi – the spirit of antichrist – to the altar of the Church. As a consequence, God’s anathema – curse – fell on the Pope as well as on all cardinals, bishops, priests, monks and Catholic believers who are in unity with him. As from that day, all the sacraments administered by these apostates are invalid; they are a mere spectacle. This is the consequence of God’s punishment – anathema (see Gal 1:8-9).

Your Beatitude, we beseech You and appeal to You not to take part in the Babylon in Astana behind which is the pseudo-Catholic spirit of Assisi that has brought a curse upon the whole Western Church.

We have to point out to You that in case You participate in this meeting, You will bring down a curse on Yourself and God will deprive You of His grace. Bishops, priests, monks and faithful will then be obliged to separate from You as from the one who betrayed Christ, the Gospel as well as the Russian nation.
