Ecumenism is the common name for the pseudo-Christianity

of the pseudo-Churches of Western Europe. Within it is the

heart of European humanism, with Papism as its head.

All of pseudo-Christianity, all of those pseudo-Churches, are

nothing more than one heresy after another. Their common

evangelical name is: Pan-heresy. Why? This is because

through the course of history various heresies denied or

deformed certain aspects of the God-man and Lord Jesus

Christ; these European heresies remove Him altogether and

put European man in His place. In this there is no essential

difference between Papism, Protestantism, Ecumenism, and

other heresies, whose name is "Legion."

Orthodox dogma, that is to say the overriding dogma of The

Church, is rejected by them and replaced by the Latin

heretical overriding dogma of the primacy and infallibility of

the Pope, that is to say of man. From this pan-heresy heresies

were born and continue to be born: the Filioque, the rejection

of the invocation of the Holy Spirit, unleavened bread, the

introduction of created grace, cleansing fire, superfluous

works of the saints, mechanized teachings about salvation,

and from this sprang mechanized teachings about life,

Papocaesarism, the Inquisition, indulgences, the murder of

sinners because of their sins, Jesuitism, the scholastics, the

casuists, Monarchianism, and social individualism of

different kinds..."
