🇬🇷🇨🇾 Priest who called Pope a heretic was confessing pure Orthodoxy, says Cypriot hierarch

— "The Greek priest who yelled out that Pope Francis is a heretic was doing his job, offering a God-pleasing confession of faith, believes His Eminence Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou.

The Cypriot hierarch spoke about Protopresbyter John Diotis, the elderly priest who yelled out as Pope Francis entered the Archbishopric of Athens earlier this month, in his homily on the feast of St. Nicholas, December 6."

🇦🇹 AUSTRIA: Prominent right-wing activist Martin Sellner says he will stop using the word "unvaccinated" anymore to describe people who haven't taken the jab, and instead proposes "vaccine free" as an alternative because it has less negative connotations and might alter the way the general public feels towards the movement.

He urges everyone to adopt this new language, to combat the media's informational warfare.

Start saying you're "VACCINE-FREE" and not "UNVACCINATED"

🇵🇸🇮🇱 Patriarch Theophilos III: Extremist Zionist Groups Want to Draw Out Christians from the Holy Land

— "His Holiness Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem and All Palestine once again stated that extremist Zionist groups want to draw out Christians from Jerusalem and other parts of the Holy Land.

“Christians have become targets of repeated attacks by radical Zionist groups, especially in the Holy City,” said the Primate of the Jerusalem Church on December 21, 2021, during his meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan, reports the website of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate.

Patriarch Theophilos III spoke about the need to tell the world about the threats to the holy places of Christians and Muslims as a result of the ambitions of radical Judaist groups in the absence of a serious attitude of the Jerusalem authorities to the issue of protecting these holy places."

Based!

"What is taking place today is neither funny nor entertaining, for even the communists did not bring so much harm as those today who call themselves Christians and yet themselves forbid other people from entering into churches! They would have us go around like dogs in muzzles, all in a frenzy – all the year in masks, which are full of microbes, this is how they torture people. It is as if we have lost our reason and we don’t understand what is happening to us, we don’t know where we are going or where we came from."

My official Gettr Account has been permanently suspended. Nice free speech platform.

Gettr is basically just Twitter 2 now— same political censorship but smaller and worse ux. Literally what is the point? Harvest emails from gullible conservatives to sell I guess. Get on Gab instead.

How embarrassing for Gettr. I’m the most censored man in the world, they should be rolling out the red carpet for me. Instead they insta-ban me and now there’s all this behind the scenes drama. You’re a free speech platform, why is this difficult?

Gettr has banned use of the word “groyper” lol

Following the pathetic behaviour from GETTR, the so-called "free speech platform", to ban America First dissidents like Nick Fuentes and other Groyper influencers, we have decided to terminate our account on there. You can no longer find Orthodox Central on GETTR. I encourage everyone else to do the same!

Follow us on Gab instead:
gab.com/Orthodox_Central

Unless you shill for Israel, the state which persecutes Christians and drives them out of the Holy Land, and gasses Orthodox bishops, then GETTR will probably ban you at some point anyway. Complete Zionist controlled-opposition platform.
