Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Outside the Church there is no salvation, because salvation is the Church. For salvation is the revelation of the way for everyone who believes in Christ's name. This revelation is to be found only in the Church. In the Church, as in the Body of Christ, in its theanthropic organism, the mystery of incarnation, the mystery of the "two natures," indissolubly united, is continually accomplished. -Fr. Georges Florovsky

ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ Ή ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ!

ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΙΑ Ή ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ!
§ 20. For our faith, brethren, is not of men nor by man, but by revelation of Jesus Christ, which the divine Apostles preached, the holy Ecumenical Councils confirmed, the greatest and wisest teachers of the world handed down in succession, and the shed blood of the holy martyrs ratified. Let us hold fast to the confession which we have received unadulterated from such men, turning away from every novelty as a suggestion of the devil. He that accepts a novelty reproaches with deficiency the preached Orthodox Faith. But that Faith has long ago been sealed in completeness, not to admit of diminution or increase, or any change whatever; and he who dares to do, or advise, or think of such a thing has already denied the faith of Christ, has already of his own accord been struck with an eternal anathema, for blaspheming the Holy Ghost as not having spoken fully in the Scriptures and through the Ecumenical Councils. This fearful anathema, brethren and sons beloved in Christ, we do not pronounce today, but our Savior first pronounced it (Matt. xii. 32): Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. St. Paul pronounced the same anathema (Gal. i. 6): I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another Gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you, than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. This same anathema the Seven Ecumenical Councils and the whole choir of God-serving fathers pronounced. All, therefore, innovating, either by heresy or schism, have voluntarily clothed themselves, according to the Psalm (cix. 18), ("with a curse as with a garment,") whether they be Popes, or Patriarchs, or Clergy, or Laity; nay, if any one, though an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Thus our wise fathers, obedient to the soul-saving words of St. Paul, were established firm and steadfast in the faith handed down unbrokenly to them, and preserved it unchanged and uncontaminate in the midst of so many heresies, and have delivered it to us pure and undefiled, as it came pure from the mouth of the first servants of the Word. Let us, too, thus wise, transmit it, pure as we have received it, to coming generations, altering nothing, that they may be, as we are, full of confidence, and with nothing to be ashamed of when speaking of the faith of their forefathers. - Encyclical of the Holy Eastern Patriarchs of 1848

Blue & Yellow (Orange) ROCOR?! (An Open Reply To The DEPOSED Cleric, Pashkovsky Of Odessa)

Dear Sir,

Slava Isusu Khristu! Slava Na Viki!

Or is it Evlogeite! O Kyrios!

Having read your recent statements concerning the Russian Orthodox church and your innuendo directed at its constituent ROCOR synodeia, I feel compelled to ask you a few questions to ascertain your honesty and integrity.

You write often and without reserve of the "FSB's role in the Russian church today," discounting the Orthodox character of the New Russia and its sway on the Russian government. A government CLEARLY MORE ORTHODOX THAN YOUR OWN "UKRAINIAN NATIONALIST GOVERNMENT," WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER CONDEMNED FOR ITS ANTI-ORTHODOX AND PRO NEO- UNIATE AND RENOVATIONIST ACTIVITIES. Although you do make it clear (at least by implication) that the Communist era is over in Russia, you somehow maintain that "Orthodoxy is feigned and inauthentic" and that the Russian church is not really Orthodox, or at least "not to your standards." Let's address some of these "apprehensions" you seem so fond of and examine what "your standards" really are.

Firstly, your pretension to the "legacy of the pre-Revolutionary Russian church" has now become famous. But, somehow, you fail to acknowledge that that pre-Revolutionary church WAS A DEPARTMENT OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND HAD BEEN SINCE THE Patriarchate was allowed to lapse by Peter I. Why is it you have forgotten that? You also fail to mention that the Okhrana had so thoroughly infiltrated the pre-Revolutionary church, that it required Orthodox pastors to reveal the contents of Confessions to it. Turgenev even wrote a famous poem about it. How is it you missed that fact. You also seem to ignore that the pre-Revolutionary Russian church was administered by an Oberprocurator who promoted and demoted Bishops and clergy and at times liquidated monasteries, even censored patristic texts and canonical treatments dealing with how this office was not Orthodox in the slightest but patently Protestant. While it is also clear that your unlawful assembly WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE PATRONAGE OF THIS OFFICE and that your schism would have been undone by the Okhrana.

So you are asked, Mr. Pashkovsky, how do you in any way represent the pre-Revolutionary Russian church?!

Moreover, Mr. Pashkovsky, you seem to ruminate on the "Stalinist church" and "sergianist structure" ad nauseum and its "ecumenism." Do tell us, Sir, if by "sergianism" you mean "infiltration by a godless government into a local church's administration with the express purpose of propagating apostasy and the 'self-dissolution' of that local church, in a 'heretical concordat' with the intelligence agencies of a given local church so afflicted under a pretext of 'saving the church' or something similar"?

If such is the case, Mr. Pashkovsky, how do explain YOUR beholden associations to the American CIA and British Mi6, both representing FREEMASONIC, LUCIFERIAN ANTI-ORTHODOX GOVERNMENTS, which have led you to engage in anti-Orthodox propaganda and russophobic, ecclesiastical intrigues. Are luciferian freemasons not held to the same standards of "sergianism" then by you, Mr. Pashkovsky? Why is it you assign more weight to FREEMASONIC governments than you do to at least nominally Orthodox ones? How is it you neglect to admit that the pre-Revolutionary Russian government was in many ways only "nominally Orthodox"?

Indeed, Mr. Pashkovsky, how is it you neglect to mention that the US embassy on Ukrainian soil directed its staff to "avoid parishes and institutions of the Moscow Patriarchate" in favour of your canonically unlawful assembly and the "Kyivan Patriarchate" of Mikhail Antonovich Denisenko, a similarly DEPOSED churchman like yourself? How is it you never spoke out about the intrigues of this "Kyivan Patriarchate" in subverting Orthodox parishes and institutions to its control, ITS ECUMENICAL ACTIVITIES AND FOSTERING OF NEO UNIA, ITS BLATENT RENOVATIONISM as something condemned by St. Tikhon and the Holy New Martyrs, its attempts at gaining control of Russian Orthodox institutions such as the Kiev Caves Lavra? Or would such activities have "blown your cover" and neo-SERGIANIST ACTIVITIES on behalf of the CIA, Mi6 and the FREEMASONIC, "Ukrainian nationalist" Orange government?

Indeed, Mr. Pashkovsky, how can your unlawful assembly have any legitimacy claiming to be "resisting sergianism" in the MP when it seems to be your very method of existence since the Ukrainian (post-)Bolsheviks split with Moscow and formed their own (post-)Communist government? Have you no shame, sir, in being such an HERETICALLY SERGIANIST POLITICAL ANIMAL?!

Tell us one occasion when you have spoken out against the activities of Mikhail Antonovich Denisenko or Cardinal Husar on Little Russian and Galician territory. How can you justify your neo-SERGIANIST double standard, sir?!

Sir, are you aware that to leave your synod for another or to found your own at very least canonically requires a release from your former synod of Bishops, and until you receive such a release, you are beholden upon them or canonically treated as a "Vagante Bishop," your assembly considered SCHISMATIC AND UNLAWFUL, and those who concelebrate with you and partake of your "Mysteries" CANONICALLY CONDEMNED?! You are aware that YOUR LAWFUL SYNOD HAS DEPOSED YOU AND PLACED YOUR pseudo-synod under interdict where your ministrations are declared "SCHISMATIC" and "NULL AND VOID OF GRACE" canonically?! Why do you propagate schism and speak ill of the Holy Canons if you presume to be Orthodox and the "heir of the pre-Revolutionary Russian church" while who would be your oberprocurator in your "inheritance" of this local church?

Where have you missed that the "Stalinist Patriarchate" condemned ecumenism at the Moscow Sobor of 1948, along with half a dozen other local churches and also condemned participation in the WCC. Where did you miss the "Stalinist Patriarchate" condemned Unia at the Lvov Sobor of 1946 and reunited the Galician and Carpatho-Russian Uniates to the "ancestral Faith," WHERE THEY WERE GIVEN A CLEAR CHOICE TO RETURN TO THE TRUE CHURCH OR TO BECOME FULLY LATIN HERETICS ("Roman Catholics")and over 90% of the populations of Galicia and Carpatho Russia VOLUNTARILY RETURNED TO ORTHODOXY as a result of the missionary zeal of this "Stalinist Patriarchate"?! Where did you miss that this "Stalinist Patriarchate" CONDEMNED RENOVATIONISM AS HERESY as well the teachings of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov?! Where did you miss that this "Stalinist Patriarchate" refused to adopt the so called "new calendar" and called upon the Orthodox world and certain local churches to "rethink its implementation" for fear of breaching the liturgical unity of the Church and causing schism"?! Can it be ALL OF THESE ACTIONS WERE UNDERTAKEN BY THE "STALINIST PATRIARCHATE" NEARLY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS before ROCOR echoed their necessity and "fidelity to Patristic Orthodoxy"?! You are aware that that is what such measures were termed by Blessed Metropolitan Philaret of New York?!

So according to Blessed Metropolitan Philaret of New York, the acts of the "Stalinist Patriarchate" were not only called "legitimate," but "Patristic Orthodoxy," right?! Is Patristic Orthodoxy then illegitimate, sir? Or was Blessed Metropolitan Philaret's understanding and confession of it? How would the "Stalinist Patriarchate" be illegitimate for acting in accordance with Patristic Orthodoxy?

So how is it the "Stalinist Patriarchate" is illegitimate? Because it ministered to "Socialists"?! Where is it written in the Holy Canons that an Orthodox believer cannot be a Socialist but can be a Lucifer worshipping, freemasonic liberal democrat, beholden to a usurper "provisional" or "White" government? What canonical penalty is there for the role the "pre-Revolutionary" Russian church played in supporting the deposition of its ANOINTED SOVEREIGN for a lucifer worshipping USURPER government?! Or is freemasonic worship of Lucifer politically admissable while a Traditionalist "Stalinist Patriarchate" emanating from the canonical hierarchy established by the All Russian Sobor of 1917-18 not?!

Mr. Pashkovsky, how cognizant of Russian history and the Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church are you when you clearly speak in condemnation of YOURSELF and your own unlawful assembly and in opposition to Traditional Russian Orthodoxy and the historical Russian church? How can you defy the Holy Canons and denounce schism and heresy when YOU YOURSELF PERPETRATE IT while your Mother Church renews after persecution?

Mr. Pashkovsky, how is it your cadres are primarily NON-RUSSIAN and that you have a parity of clerics to "believers" of nearly one to one in a couple dozen institutions in the world? Why do such people even presume to call upon a link to the Russian Orthodox church, especially in light of the FACT they espouse the dissolution of the Russian local church, have an ignorance of Russian history and espouse russophobia, hatred, for Orthodox Russia while advocating luciferian FREEMASONIC LIBERAL DEMOCRACY AND POST CHRISTIAN WESTERN GOVERNMENTS?! Just, exactly, how is this not a spiritual counterfeit, even apostate movement, and attack on Orthodoxy and Orthodox symphonia? How can you morally justify such a hatred of Russia, its Church, in deceiving the very few NON-RUSSIAN converts which make up your canonically unlawful assembly?

Mr. Pashkovsky, I think these questions have illuimnated who you are and what your schismatic and unlawful assembly represents. It is hoped that bodies you have enticed into fellowship with you like the Synod in Resistance "come to see the light" and abandon their associations with you before they too are canonically condemned.

Mr. Pashkovsky, YOU ARE A FRAUD AND A HYPOCRITE, aiding and abetting "Ukrainian" neo Uniates and the "Kyivan Patriarchate" Renovationist, schismatic HERETICS at the behest of the intelligence services of Luciferian, anti-Christian governments. While in the "pre-Revolutionary Russian church," Oberprocurator Pobedonostsev would have had the Okrana round you up and exile you and members of your canonically unlawful assembly to Siberia.

That is the "truth" and "authenticity" of the PSCA. Isn't it, Mr. Pashkovsky?

US stops destroying Afghan opium crops


The United States believes the policy of destroying all Afghan opium crops has badly backfired and must be stopped. Its forces on Afghan soil have already received appropriate orders.

Ambassador John Beyrle told this to a Russian news agency in an interview in Moscow Wednesday. He cited numerous instances in which poppy eradication stripped farmers of their livelihoods and forced them to join the Taliban.

At the same time, he did not rule out localized opium destruction operations.

In the period since the year 2000, the Afghan-produced heroin is estimated to have been killing some 100 thousand people each year. The Afghan drug industry generates income for three and a half million people.

Lavrov urges stepping up struggle against Afghan drug production


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has called for dealing with drug production in Afghanistan just as effectively as cocaine production is being fought in Latin America.

Opium poppy plantations and heroin labs should be wiped out, he told the international forum “Afghan Drug Production – a Challenge to the International Community”, which is under way in Moscow. We are certain of the need to treat the Afghan drug threat at the UN Security Council as a threat to international peace and security, he added.

Russia’s topmost diplomat feels that the ISAF coalition force in Afghanistan should come to grips with the drug industry problem.

Russian economy can be seen as more stable in Europe – Gref


The Russian economy can be seen as one of the more stable European economies, but it needs foreign investment.

This came in an interview with the “Rossia 24” TV channel by Russia’s Sberbank CEO Hermann Gref.

The key objective now is the creation of sound macroeconomic conditions that would look attractive to investors, Gref said.

He pointed out that the Russian financial system’s dependence on mineral resources and the non-diversification of the economy was a major drawback. The Sberbank CEO says he is certain that this affects price instability in Russia.

Russia will not buy The Mistral without the high-tech on it – Putin


Russia will not buy the French Mistral assault ship without the technology on it or contracts to procure much of the equipment for bringing it up to date from Russian companies. It wants the ship’s mammoth price tag of 300 million euros to stimulate naval and civilian manufacturers in Russia, as well as France.

Prime Minister Putin has told this to French media ahead of a visit to France from Thursday.

The Mistral displaces 21 thousand tons and can carry 16 attack helicopters to distances of up to 20 thousand nautical miles.

Patriarch Bartholomew hopes Ukraine will overcome church schism under Yanukovich


Istanbul, June 9, Interfax – Patriarch Bartholomew hopes that under President Viktor Yanukovich Ukraine will overcome schism in Orthodoxy.

"We know there is a schism of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Ukraine and it distresses us a lot. We pray for this separation to vanish as soon as possible and for our brothers who separated to come back to the canonical Church as it is our salvation," he said at his meeting with the Ukrainian President in his Istanbul residence.

The Patriarch confessed he was "more than convinced" that Yanukovich would spare no effort to "heal these wounds" and restore unity of the Orthodox Church in Ukraine.

In his turn, Yanukovich pointed out to the importance of unity for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.

Georgia’s territory - powerful way of drug trafficking to RF

Georgia’s territory - powerful way of drug trafficking to RF



27.02.2010, 11.22




MOSCOW, February 27 (Itar-Tass) -- The territory of Georgia has been turning into one of powerful ways of drug trafficking to Russia, leader of the Russian Federal Drug Control Service (FDCS) Viktor Ivanov said at a meeting of its collegium on Saturday.

“The key directions of drug trafficking go through the area of water of the Black and Caspian Seas with the use of the sea ports of Iran (Enzeli, Nowshahr), Turkey (Istanbul, Trabzon), Turkmenistan (Turkmenbashi) and Azerbaijan (Baku), as well as the transit potential of the territory of Georgia,” he said.

“The ports of Batumi and Poti became the main ones in drug trafficking, and the Georgian city of Kabuleti - - one of the key points of trafficking of Afghan heroin,” the FDCS director said.
