It's official. I'm a heretic . . .

. . . at least, that is, according to a group of Orthodox clergy in Greece. This group issued a manifesto pledging to resist any ecumenical movement leading to closer relations with Roman Catholics and Protestants.

The reason? Simple. The Greek Orthodox clergy refuse to have anything to do with clergy or churches who are in error. They proclaim, "The Orthodox Church is not merely the true church; she is the only church. She alone has remained faithful to the Gospel, the synods and the fathers, and consequently she alone represents the true catholic church of Christ."

Just in case you may have some doubts on how bad the others are, this group describes the Catholic papacy as the "womb of heresies and fallacies" and Protestantism as having "inherited many heresies but also added many more." The only hope for everyone who isn't a member of the Greek Orthodox Church is to repent and become one.

Till then, I am a heretic, and you are too, probably. I will look for you in the place of eternal judgment.
