The letter below was sent to Archbishop Sotirios in Canada by a faithful member of the Greek Orthodox community. The author sent us a copy and asked if we could post it. We do so gladly to keep awareness focused on the sufferings of the Greek Orthodox in Canada. To read more about the controversies in Canada, please visit the category page. May God have mercy on us all.
To his Eminence Archbishop Sotirios;
I’m writing this letter to ask you – why are you forcing all the priests and lay people alike to commune with the multiple spoons? Where have you gotten the idea that this is ok and acceptable?
This is a sin and blasphemous! You are stating that Christ our God can transmit disease with the ONE holy common spoon. (And please don’t say that we worship the spoon, because we don’t. It’s the method that is being used to commune that you are doubting,) Really? That is ridiculous to say the least and if some are truly afraid, then they should not commune. In all this time during this pandemic, you have done nothing for the faithful people of God, to help or comfort them in any way. But instead you introduced the multiple spoons at the very same time corona came.
We the faithful will NEVER accept this nor any other changes you might introduce to our faith and Holy Tradition. As a matter of fact, we are all fed up with all of this and we will not stand by to watch our faith diminish. We will preserve the faith and practice it correctly to the fullest!
If you do not believe in the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church as has been handed down to us by the holy apostles, then please leave the rest of us who do ALONE to believe correctly and practice it as proper, true Orthodox Christians should. And please stop abusing and bothering our monasteries to commune with multiple spoons! Leave them alone! We will not obey anything or anyone who breaks God’s laws or goes above them. May God enlighten and forgive you. We hope and pray that you repent of this horrible sin.
Yours truly, from a faithful slave of God. I hope you realize that you’ve become a tyrant to us now.
