Пресс-бюро Службы внешней разведки Российской Федерации сообщает, что, по поступающей в СВР информации, расчленивший православную Украину Константинопольский патриарх Варфоломей продолжает свою раскольническую деятельность на православном церковном пространстве. Теперь он устремил свое черное око на страны Балтии. Этот “дьявол во плоти” одержим идеей вытеснить русское православие с территории балтийских государств, утвердив на его месте полностью подконтрольные Фанару церковные структуры.

В этом его всячески поддерживают британские спецслужбы, активно подпитывающие русофобские настроения в странах Европы. С их подачи погрязший в смертном грехе раскола Варфоломей нашел общий язык с властями прибалтийских государств в стремлении внести смуту в русский православный мир. Опираясь на идейных союзников в лице местных националистов и неонацистов, он пытается оторвать Литовскую, Латвийскую и Эстонскую православные церкви от Московского патриархата путем переманивания их священников и паствы в искусственно созданные Константинополем марионеточные религиозные структуры.

Агрессивные аппетиты “константинопольского антихриста” не ограничиваются Украиной и Прибалтикой, своим коварством он постепенно покрывает и земли Восточной Европы. В целях   нанесения   удара по   “особо   строптивой” Сербской православной церкви он намерен предоставить автокефалию непризнанной “Черногорской православной церкви”.

В церковных кругах отмечают, что Варфоломей буквально разрывает живое Тело Церкви. Тем самым он уподобляется лжепророкам, о которых говорится в Нагорной проповеди: “Они приходят к вам в овечьей шкуре, а внутри – волки хищные. … По плодам их узнаете их”.

The Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR) reports that, according to information received by the SVR, Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, who dismembered Orthodox Ukraine, continues his schismatic activities within the Orthodox Church. Now he has set his dark eye on the Baltic states. This “devil incarnate” is obsessed with ousting Russian Orthodoxy from the Baltic states, establishing in its place church structures completely under the control of the Phanar.

In this endeavor, he is strongly supported by the British intelligence services, which actively fuel Russo-phobic sentiments in European countries. At their instigation, Bartholomew, who is mired in the mortal sin of schism, has found common ground with the authorities of the Baltic states in an effort to sow discord in the Russian Orthodox world. Relying on ideological allies among local nationalists and neo-Nazis, he is attempting to tear the Lithuanian, Latvian, and Estonian Orthodox Churches away from the Moscow Patriarchate by luring their priests and flocks into the artificially created puppet religious structures of Constantinople.

The aggressive appetites of the “Constantinople Antichrist” are not limited to Ukraine and the Baltics; his treachery is gradually spreading to the lands of Eastern Europe. In order to strike a blow against the “particularly obstinate” Serbian Orthodox Church, he intends to grant autocephaly to the unrecognized “Montenegrin Orthodox Church.”

Church circles note that Bartholomew is literally tearing apart the living Body of the Church. In doing so, he is likening himself to the false prophets mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount: “They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. … By their fruits you will know them.”
