On The Ledge Again

by Fr. John

There have been peaceful and law-abiding protest every Saturday at 1:30 PM on the grounds of Alberta Legislature against the illegal and unscientific measures being forced upon citizens:

A week or two ago, I honestly didn't expect to be speaking to you today. Nonetheless, here I am.

Last month, the Holy Synod of the Russian Church established October 30^th as a special day of commemoration for all those who were innocently killed or imprisoned in the persecutions of the 20^th century. Seems like an appropriate day to return and speak.

As well, this last Wednesday, October 14^th according to the Church calendar, we remember Saint Harold, last Orthodox king of England, and those killed with him at Hastings. Though never officially glorified as a saint, the historical context leading up to this battle, the reason William of Normandy gained the necessary military assistance for the invasion, the reason why King Harold and his troops were so demoralized, resulting in a slaughter rather than an actual battle like the one King Harold had won just days before against Harald of Norway, it becomes apparent why some consider King Harold II of England as a passion-bearer or martyr.

This same historical context resulted in the Common Law legal system developing in England, distinct from the Civil Law system that developed in Continental Europe. This is the reason for the distinction between common-law marriage and civil marriage, though most don't know anything about this. Most don't know that this same historical context led to the Latin word humanus entering the English languages as the word human a few centuries later in France, without any connection to the preexisting Anglo-Saxons words hiw and man (BTW: before the Norman invasion, hue was spelled h-i-w).

One of the crucial things Josh and David have done that allows me to speak here is keep themselves separated from con-artists preaching lies about the origins of the word human, purposely confusing the word birth (spelled with an 'i') with the word berth (spelled with an 'e'), and lying about everything related Common Law. In case these pseudolegal charlatans stop using the term Common Law, the way they stopped using the term Sovereign Citizen, I'll give you the heads up about the term Natural Law. Natural law theory comes from ancient Greek philosophy, mostly Aristotle. This theory went on to heavily influence Thomas Aquinas and Roman Catholicism, and, therefore, the Civil Law tradition of Continental Europe. These people are criminals. They are lying. Stay away from them.

By keeping themselves apart from this nonsense, Josh and David have allowed me to speak, resulting in this rally gaining the attention of the Orthodox around the world, even in Romania and Greece. It was an email from a priest in Greece, who regularly talks to the disciples of the Saint Paisios and other holy elders on Mount Athos, that helped me focus on what needed to be said today.

First of all, a religious exemption shouldn't be necessary. But in case you haven't noticed, there's a lot that shouldn't be necessary right now. Our legal rights and freedoms are no longer being upheld in Canada, so the religious exemption letter I prepared can easily be rejected... unless... unless, the person or organization receiving it still has a conscience... or doesn't want to be associate with any religious persecution. Rejecting the letter I prepared is an act of religious persecution. An official policy denying the possibility of religious exemption is an open declaration of religious persecution. Not accepting this letter for any reason even confirms the basis of this request for religious exemption. Ironically, the only way to deny any religious persecution is by accepting this request for religious exemption.

It should go without saying: there are no grounds for religious exemption from religious persecution.

The letter I prepared... which I've updated to focus on what makes it actually useful: a signed copy dated this last Sunday, October 24^th, can be found online... This letter didn't actually specify why the Orthodox will not receive the Covid "vaccinations," other than that the Church Fathers told us not to. It requests a religious exemption to avoid any contention. The reason the Church Fathers told us not to take part in any of this is because, in the words of Saint Paisios, "this is the system through which the Antichrist has chosen to take over the whole world." And the instructions Elder Justin Parvu gave were: "do not receive this vaccine or anything that the new political powers bring you today." This includes anything involved in this demonic plot to destroy the human race, even rapid antigen and PCR tests in most cases. Perhaps I need to update the letter again to make this even clearer, but is there much point now?

The relationship between procured abortions and these so-called "vaccines" is a very important issue, but I will have to speak about that some other time, perhaps next week. However, it was very important that this issue not be included in the request for a religious exemption. I will explain more at a latter time, but just the practical aspect that I mentioned before should be enough: if your argument for religious exemption depends upon the use of cell lines from an aborted fetus, what argument will you use if they offer you a vaccine that has no connection whatsoever with procured abortion? The Church Fathers warned us not to receive these "vaccines" because, as Saint Paisios said, "those taking it will be marked." We don't need any other reason.

As I've said before, if you've already received one, two, three of these shots, stop now before it's too late. The more you receive, the more difficult it will be to stop. This will eventually lead to the mark on the forehead or right hand, so stop now before it's too late. Repent and ask the Lord for mercy.

What about fake "vaccine" passports, even bribing medical staff to squirt the stuff down the drain just to get the necessary paper work? Josh and David have already mentioned the practical aspect of this: it's simply going along with this persecution of humanity, actively participating it. It might give you something today, but it will rob you, your children, and everyone else, of everything tomorrow. From a spiritual perspective, if you're helping the Antichrist take over the world by pretending to get the "vaccine," why would God give you the necessary grace to refuse the Mark of the Best? He won't. If you've already done this without thinking it through properly, just like receiving the shots: stop now, repent, and ask the Lord to have mercy.

Christians have gone through persecutions before. There are only two options that are blessed by God: martyrdom or run and hide. We're not at that point yet and may never get to that point with just these so-called "vaccines," but if you don't do the right thing now, you will not be able to do the right thing later. If you've already done the wrong thing, just like Christians in the past who worshipped the idols or compromised in some other way, stop now, repent, and pray: "Lord, have mercy."

I'm not saying anything unique or original. I'm simply repeating what the Church Fathers, both the contemporary Church Father and the early Church Fathers, have said. And as Saint Gabriel of Georgia said: "It is necessary to repent more with the heart than with tears."
