The session revolved around the discussion of the Fiducia Supplicans Declaration, issued by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on December 18, 2023. The Patriarch of Moscow, Kirill, requested that the Commission analyze the document. After the time spent on analysis and discussion, \u201cThe participants in the meeting expressed their positions on the theological content of the \u2018Fiducia Supplicans\u2019 declaration, which for the first time in the history of the Catholic Church proposes forms of blessing for \u2018unions between persons of the same sex.\u2019 The members of the Synodal Biblical and Theological Commission were unanimous in that this innovation reflected a marked departure from Christian moral teaching,\u201d says a note published on the website of the Russian Orthodox Church.<\/p>\n<div>It is the first time that the main Orthodox denomination, in terms of number of believers, officially takes a position against a document of Pope Francis, now becoming an ecumenical issue. <a href=\"https:\/\/zenit.org\/2024\/02\/26\/russian-orthodox-church-formally-qualifies-fiducia-supplicans-departs-from-christian-moral-teaching\/\">https:\/\/zenit.org\/2024\/02\/26\/russian-orthodox-church-formally-qualifies-fiducia-supplicans-departs-from-christian-moral-teaching\/<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just the Russian Orthodox leadership that has positions against the same-sex matters.<\/p>\n<p>Notice the following from the Greek Orthodox Church:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"ContributorArticleFull_title__cQWzx\">Greek Orthodox Bishop Excommunicates Lawmakers Who Voted For Same-Sex Marriage<\/h2>\n<p>February 27, 2024<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a cradle of western of civilization and literal originator of the word Europe, Greece had found itself on the fringe of modern European society on one issue in particular: same-sex marriage. The cultural delineator that separated Greece from its other EU compatriots was that the Orthodox Christian country held a much different position on same-sex marriage and LGBT+ issues generally compare to its Catholic and Protestant counterparts. However, the influence of the Greek Orthodox Church&#8217;s opposition to same-sex marriage ceased to shape the Hellenic Republics policy making following a parliamentary vote that legalized same-sex marriages in the country.\u00a0<strong>Although the bill makes Greece the first Orthodox Christian country to legalize same-sex marriage, the Greek Orthodox Church has remained steadfast in its opposition.<\/strong>\u00a0The cultural schism between church and state that the bill has widened is exemplified by the decision of one high-ranking Greek Orthodox bishop to excommunicate the 176 lawmakers who voted for the bill from his diocese.<\/p>\n<p>Metropolitan Seraphim Of Piraeus was joined by church council and administrative committee members in issuing a decree banning Greek ministers of parliament from church services in his diocese until they vote to revoke the law legalizing same-sex marriage.\u00a0<strong>\u201cTo protect our ministry and respect our responsibility before God, we sever our ties with those who voted against divine law, not inviting them to any parish event until they show genuine repentance by repealing this heinous legislation,\u201d<\/strong> the decree read.

(Leviticus 20:13)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Bible teaches:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many in the Church of Rome have found Pope Francis&#8217; position confusing at best and immoral apostasy at worst.<\/p>\n<p>Biblically, we know that this is immoral apostasy as 1) it was not the position of the apostles or the original catholic church (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cogwriter.com\/Original-Catholic-Beliefs.pdf\">Beliefs of the Original Catholic Church: Could a remnant group have continuing apostolic succession?<\/a>) that we should contend for (cf. Jude 3-4) and 2) condoning sexual immorality is condemned in the New Testament:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, \u2026 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, \u2026<\/p>\n<p>24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, \u2026<\/p>\n<p>26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.<\/p>\n<p>28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters,<strong> inventors of evil things<\/strong>, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1: 18,22, 24, 26-32)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">The word of God warns against \u201cinventors of evil things\u201d and an innovation of blessing of sin would be one.<\/p>\n<p>The Bible also warns:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;<br \/>\nWho put darkness for light, and light for darkness;<br \/>\nWho put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!<\/p>\n<p>21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,<br \/>\nAnd prudent in their own sight!\u00a0 (Isaiah 5:20-21)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The above pretty well sums up those pushing and\/or blessing aspects of the LGBTQ+ agenda.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there are Greco-Roman Catholic writings that have predicted a schism and additional compromise by the Church of Rome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style4\">For example, consider that it has been written that a change to the Vatican&#8217;s \u201cConstitution\u201d will come about after a council:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\"><em>Venerable Anna Maria Taigi<\/em> (died 1837): The Pope shall convoke a council. A new constitution of the Church shall be proclaimed in it. (Rossi, p. 65)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\">If that were to happen, when might that happen?<\/p>\n<p>While we may be seeing the groundwork being laid for it now (and not just because of various pronouncements from Pope Francis), consider that in 325, the sun-worshiping Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea. The Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholics consider that to have been the &#8220;first ecumenical council.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Eastern Orthodox Catholics contend that there were seven ecumenical councils and that an eighth one will come.<\/p>\n<p>The seventh one was the second Council of Nicea of 787.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the Roman and Eastern Orthodox Catholics plan to have what has been called the third Council of Nicea to mark the 1700th anniversary of the first Council of Council.<\/p>\n<p>Back in 2014, we put together the following video:\u00a0<a dir=\"ltr\" title=\"3rd Council of Nicea in 2025?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=toECmvOJBYo\" data-sessionlink=\"ved=CAoQvxs&amp;ei=fSOPU9G5BoHM-QOj6YHABA&amp;feature=c4-feed-u\">3rd Council of Nicea in 2025?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It still looks like this third council will take place.<\/p>\n<p>The third Council of Nicea might be considered to be the eighth ecumenical council by the Eastern Orthodox. As it turns out, one of their saints put forth the following prediction:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Saint Nelios the Myrrh-Gusher<\/em>\u00a0(died 1592): During that time<strong>\u00a0the Eighth and last Ecumenical Synod will take place, which will satisfy the contentions of the heretics<\/strong>\u2026(Tzima Otto H. The Great Monarch and WWIII in Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Scriptural Prophecies. Verenika Press, Rock City (SC), 2000, p. 111)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>By satisfying \u201cheretics\u201d, clearly this council compromises and changes the religion, which will be called \u201cCatholic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, some Eastern Orthodox look forward to this, but also expect an antipope near then:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>Helen Tzima Otto<\/em>\u00a0(20<sup>th<\/sup> century): We have been told time and time again through the prophets that the Great Monarch and Papa Angelorum \u2026 will convene the 8<sup>th<\/sup> Ecumenical Council, which will reunify all Christians \u2026 The Emperor will spend three years waging wars against the non-Christian nations \u2026 {later will be} the end time schism of the Roman Catholic Church of the End Times and the rise of an antipope (Tzima Otto, pp. xxv, 103, 122).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Such unity will be dangerous for both the Church of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox.<\/p>\n<p>Some ancient and more recent writings by Roman Catholic clergy and others, though, are expecting a coming schism:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"style4\"><em>G.
