CIRCULARS OF THE ONE HOLY CATHOLIC
& APOSTOLIC CHURCH OF CHRIST
CIRCULAR ISSUED IN 1593
Whoever does not follow the traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church as the seven Holy Ecumenical Synods has established and the Holy Easter and the Calendar of the months well legislate to follow, and they wants to follow the new- invited Paschalion and Menologion of the atheists astronomers of the Pope and they oppose on these and wants to upset and spoil the Paternal dogmas and traditions of the Holy Orthodox Church (then) he have ANATHEMA and to be out of the Lord Jesus Christ’s Holy Church and the Faithful’ s community.
+ Jeremiah of Constantinople
+ Sophronius of Jerusalem
+ Silvestre of Alexandria
And the other bishops of the Synod Presents. (Year; 1593)
CIRCULAR ISSUED IN 1756
"If someone evangelizes unto you, despite those that you received and despite those that we evangelized unto you, not even he is an angel from heaven, even those we, let be in anathema", and the Synodical canons which they say whoever wanted add or remove a single iota, even unto him seven Anathemas. And so acting on our Clergy and Christian Crew: We anathematize trillion even the Sacred Directory or the laymen, to be away (in schism) by the Lord God, Almighty, accursed and unforgivable after death unsolved. Century oak and iron are going to solve but they do not in any way. They will take the leprosy of Gehazi and the gallows Judas. Close to be and tremble on earth as Cain, God's wrath on their heads of these and their part after Judas and the God- enemies Jews.The land to fight them, as Dathan and Abiram ever. Angel of the Lord to take after them with knife all the days of their life and all the Patriarchal and Synodical dilutes, responsible and in eternal Anathema, indictees and guilty on fire of Gehenna. Amen.
CIRCULAR ISSUED ΙΝ 1848
To the Orthodox everywhere;
We keep the confession that we received honest from such men who did not accept every novelty, as it was dictated by devil.
The accepting of modernity accuses as deficient the Orthodox Faith. Although, it already fully sealed, not open neither nor increase reduction, neither alteration, which, however, and anyone who dares to do so or to advise or to imagine it already, he has already denied the faith of Christ, already he voluntarily submitted to the eternal curse because he blasphemed the Holy Spirit, as allegedly not well spoken in the Scriptures and in Ecumenical Synods.
All who innovate with heresy or schism, voluntarily wore the curse as a garment, even popes and patriarchs, and even laymen and even clergy, even an angel from heaven.
+ ANTHIMOS, by mercy of God, Archbishop of Constantinople and Ecumenical Patriarch
+ IEROTHEOS, by mercy of God, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Egypt land
+ METHODIOS, by mercy of God, Patriarch of Antioch
+ KYRILLOS, by mercy of God, Patriarch of Jerusalem
And their Holy Synods
