New petition of self-praised rebelous monks, supporters of parasinagogue "Artemijevci"

On the website of the renegade in schism Crna Reka Monastery - as well as on the false "website of the Diocese of Raška and Prizren" and, as usual, in some of the mass media - the text of a new "petition to the Holy Assembly of Bishops" has appeared, which does not mention the previous petition, written by the same rebel monks (but in a much more reckless and anti-church manner, which has now been somewhat ameliorated), where, at the end, they refer to the alleged signatures of "one hundred and five monks and nuns from fourteen monasteries", while the petition itself includes mostly signatures of male and female novices.

“Notes on Ecumenism” by Holy Father Justin (Popovich), prepared by Bishop Atanasije, published by Tvrdoš Monastery, 2010

With the blessing of Bishop Atanasije, we wish to inform our readers that a new book by Holy Avva Justin has been printed, NOTES ON ECUMENISM. This book, comprised of 35 pages with 12 facsimiles of Holy Avva Justin's notes, is an important complement to his book, "The Orthodox Church and Ecumenism".

The new book was prepared by Bishop Atanasije and published by Tvrdoš Monastery.

Ecumenism is a movement that in itself swarms with many questions. And all those questions, in fact, spring from one wish and recede into one wish. And that wish wants one thing: the True Church of Christ. And the true Church of Christ provides, and should provide, answers to all the questions and sub questions posed by Ecumenism. For if the Church of Christ does not resolve the eternal questions of the human spirit, then it is wholly unnecessary.
