Brethren, Last Thursday, (after the final approval of the bill “marriage” and “adoption” of same-sex couples) we saw who were clapping and cheering by the historic and glorious monument of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (!)
Were the angels celebrating with them? Or rather, were they mourning the decline of our Orthodox country, Greece? Everyone talks about their own individual “rights”.
Whether good or bad; decent or indecent; chaste or impure; virtuous or passionate; natural and compliant or abnormal and inexplicable… Here is the question:
What about the rights of the young and defenseless infants and children? How, for the lawless and abnormal “right” of homosexuals, do we deprive these children of the right to have a father and a mother? How do we deny them the right to be raised in the normal androgynous co-existence of their parents? Why did the Deputy Commissioner for Children’s Rights not publicly react to this gross injustice against children, to be raised within the abnormal relationship of a same-sex couple, and to be deprived of the privilege to call out to their parents as “mummy” or “daddy” (depending on the nature of the same-sex couple they will be forced to live with)? And, even more importantly, who talks about God’s Rights today? God’s Law? God’s will for man, who is His own creation? 175 MPs voted in favor of this lawless, illegal, unnatural, and perverse bill…
Do these 175 people express and represent the 10.5 million citizens of Greece? Or did the 175 MPs’ voters, vote in favor of the ratification of such a lawless bill? Of course not !!!
Hence such a vote cannot have an objective basis! Moreover, among those who defended the approval of the aforementioned bill was the MP Spyros Bibilas, who publicly declares himself as a homosexual (!!!)
During his speech at the Plenary session of the Hellenic Parliament (15/02/2024), Bibilas was observed wearing blouse with a heart on his chest (!!!), much the same as those worn by little girls in kindergarten (!!!) A baby bottle would have completed the attire (!!!)
Would a serious female MP wear such a blouse to address the House of Commons? Are we serious?
Is this man, Mr Bibilas – with a heart on his blouse – fit to hold the position of a legislator?(!!!) The Rights, i.e., the Law of God has been previously mentioned.
Did you know that Justinian, emperor of Byzantium, who was a keen legislator, included the following regulation, in his “Novels”, i.e., the provisions and the legislation he compiled?
Specifically, the regulation was:
“If a law contradicts the laws of the Church, this law should be considered NULL!” This also reminds us of Apostle Peter, who was tried in the illegal Congress of the Senate of the Jews, because he did not keep the commandments and instructions of the Rulers not to teach in the name of Jesus. The Apostle replied with the notable phrase: “We must obey God rather than men!!!” Brethren, For us Christians, our law abidingness and compliance with the laws of the State is an imperative duty. It is, however, conditional, since when a law or a right of the State contradicts the Law of God, then this law is INVALID for us!!! Today, everyone parrots the evil invention referred to as “homophobia” (!!!)
Where was this found?
They also argue that the minority is “marginalized” and “excluded”. I will reverse their reasoning:
Today, anyone who speaks the truth, anyone who expresses the position of the Church about homosexuality, is truly sidelined and marginalized…
In other words, today there is a “CHRISTPHOBIA” (!!!), as I would term it, in contrast to the already circulating term of “homophobia” (!!!)
“Christophobia”, “Gospelphobia”, “Ecclesiophobia”!!!
Woe betide anyone who promotes Christ, the Gospel, the Church in their speech!!!
One behaves fascistically, racistly, Christphobically, Gospelphobically, Ecclesiophobically, when he labels you a “racist”, “fascist”, “extreme rightist”, “homophobe”, and who knows what else (!!!)
WE ASK at last for our RIGHTS, which also coincide with the rights of God!!! Both the legislators and the Lords of this world must also recognize that they are not autonomous, but rather, they are heteronomous!!!
That means, they are subject to the true and infallible Lawgiver, God Himself!!!
In other words, they cannot legislate and vote whatever their perverted minds instruct them to… (i.e., according to their irrational, unnatural, and abnormal desires…) Let’s also come to the statement of Mr. Mitsotakis, the initiator of this Bill, who celebrated his already “lost” and condemnable “victory” (!!!) saying among others:
“Now the invisible have become visible!”, obviously alluding to hidden homosexuals, who will now be freely revealed (and this without hesitation!). Disgrace!!! But, Mr. Mitsotakis, wait for a while…, because there are more “invisibles”: The pedophiles (already recognized in the Netherlands), the nudists, the child pornography traffickers, the stranglers, the rapists of women, the mafia and the drug traffickers, the murderers, and so on… When laws for their “rights” are passed, they will become visible too (!!!) Brethren, Today, society is suffering and dying…
The Church, which holds the position of a spiritual Hospital, is summoned to preach its right and true word… To operate, cauterize, even remove anything contagious and dangerous for her own Body… Hence, as a malignant tumor should be removed as soon as possible from one’s body to avoid an outbreak or metastasis (something that should have been done by a healthy society with those people as well), in the same way, the pedagogical tactic of our Church requires the exclusion and excommunication of all those who declare themselves as “same-sex couples”.
While these people remain unrepentant, they are deprived of any Ecclesiastical right and the Church rejects any of their offerings to her. Even the offering of a candle, oil, nama or incense, and the performance of any celebration or ritual… Likewise, the Church condemns to excommunication the voters and approvers of marriage and adoption of same-sex couples if they do not repent and publicly declare the disapproval of this act! The recent passing of the controversial bill for homosexuals, has resulted in the loss of the voters’ and approvers’ reputation and trust from the public!!!
We will not obey and conform and, even more importantly, will not recognize anything unlawful and contrary to the Law of God!!! (End of story!) We will speak boldly and freely (as free citizens of our country), our beliefs, opinions, the truth of the Gospel’s word, without fear or passion… Therefore, my brothers, as living members of our persecuted Church, let us continue our course…, the Orthodox Tradition bequeathed to us by the holy Fathers of our Church, the holy Apostles, and our Lord Jesus Christ himself…
Let us continue the beautiful and glorious way of the Cross, which undoubtedly leads to the Resurrection!!! The supreme Law for us is the Law of God and the Gospel.
Let’s practice applied Christianity in our daily lives!
Let us be “the light of the world”, which will illuminate the darkness of our failed society; and at the same time, let us be “the salt” that will preserve our country and society, from decay and rot… Amen!
Rejoice in the Lord always! The glorious days of our Church are approaching… With the love in Christ,
Hieromonk Damaskinos
