Thank you for your post Angela.
Yes, it is very sad about the Monks on Mt. Athos who are struggling just to get food and medicines.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
And indeed, those True Orthodox Christians who suffer at the hands of the militant ecumenists who call themselves Orthodox in a "dialogue of Love" with the Catholics, Protestants, Copts, and even Muslims and Jews, but who starve their Traditional Orthodox brothers, they are weaving crowns. And thank God for that. However, know this, If the Orthodox Christians all over the world who at this time remain in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew were suddenly to say, "OK that is enough. I from this moment I cease to commemorate you, you are no longer my bishop. I am now with the True Orthodox Jurisdictions." If such were to happen with all conscientious Orthodox who know what he does is evil, Bartholomew and all other ecumenists like him would stop their evil hypocritical nonsense and return to a Truly Orthodox way of behaviour. They will never repent however as long as traditional Orthodox priests and laity stay in communion with him. He doesn't care how many nasty letters people write him, nor does he care how many "Anti-ecumenist Conferences" the concerned Orthodox hold at the University of Thessaloniki, nor how many dignitaries sign a petition for the EP to stop his heretical ecumenism. All he cares about is that they stay in communion with him. Hence, we see from a practical point of view, as well as from a canonical and historical point of view, that the only Truly Orthodox response to heresy in the Church is YOU MUST CUT OFF communion with the heretic after the first and second admonition. Holy Apostle Paul says: "a man that is a heretic after the first and second admonition, reject." (See the epistle of St Paul to Titus; chapter 3, verse 10). We can pray all we want for the evil to stop, but if we do not DO what we have been told to do in such a situation, why should God answer our prayers?

This is the most important thing for people like Angela to understand. You must cut off communion with Bishops who preach and practice heresy. Through this act, you may also help save he soul of the erring Bishop.
