ECUMENISM IS DOMINATED BY UNCLEAN SPIRITS
From the book “Holy and Great Synod of the Orthodox Church - A Synod Licking in Synodicity and Orthodox self-awareness, ” a publication by “Synaxis of Orthodox Romaics ‘Fotis Kontoglou,”, Trikala, March 2016. This book is the transcript of the 3-hour program of the conversation between the manager of the Piraeus Church Radio Station, Mr. Lykourgos Markoudis and professor Demetrios Tseleggides— professor Tseleggides details Elder Ephraim’s of Katounakia attestation to him relative to the topic of ecumenism.
In what follows, I will say something that pertains to a personal deposition. I was associated for several decades with Elder Ephraim of Katounakia, of renowned ethos and conscience. Also renowned was the fact that he possessed a “spiritual television.” As for me, I had gone to him on many occasions, always with the intention of posing certain very specific questions, in a specific sequence, and using my own vocabulary. When I would visit him, and without ever stipulating or presenting to him my questions, he would give me the replies that I sought, in the sequence and even using the vocabulary to which I was accustomed. I am mentioning this as a de facto personal experience; such experience is not an unprecedented phenomenon—it has been experienced by many others as well.
