NFTU has the best article titles

Who else could write the line "Phanar Ecumenist Kallistos Ware to Speak at Monophysite-Coptic Feminist Conferences"?


(NFTU) - Well-known heretical Phanar Ecumenist, Metropolitan Kallistos Ware, a proponent of “women’s ordination”, plans to speak at a conference run by heretical Coptic Monophysite “Orthodox Women’s Ministry” conference. The event will take place in Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom from Friday, September 11, 2015, to Sunday, September 13, 2015.

The Conference website states that two prominent ecumenist Phanar notables will speak, which includes Metropolitan Kallistos Ware of Diocletia, and the well-known feminist ecumenist ‘theologian’ of the Ecumenical Patriarchate’s,

Dr. Kyriaki Fitzgerald (Clinical Psychologist and activer member of the WCC). Dr. Fitgerald is well-known in the “women’s ordination” movement in the World “Orthodox” groups.

The tilt by the Phanar and the organization’s acolytes towards feminism and “women’s ordination” has been pronounced; not all of this should be surprising, as the Phanar has been known for its position on abortion and population control.

“Women’s ordination” has found increasing acceptance among “World Orthodox”, especially in ecumenist-modernist jurisdictions in the United State, such as the OCA, Antiochian Archdiocese, and Greek Archdiocese.

Such a ‘conference’, is, like the Ecumenical Patriarchate and other heretical organizations, an abomination in the site of God, as is the demonic concept of “women’s ordination”.

  2. NFTU is usually good for comic relief, as long as you know that's what it is.

  3. Putting aside their skewed ecclesiology and outright abuse of the term "heretic", the do speak the truth about at least one thing:

    Bishop Kallistas WOULD "restore" the female diaconate, might very well go all the way (priests bishops), and if you read his essay in Hopko's book on this subject he deconstructs every understanding as to why we don't have a female clergy/episcopate, and leaves it as a mystery. Any serious reader can see that he is simply stopping there out of obedience, and would go all the way if he could.

    During his afternoon tea, he also enjoys mixing european/left wing politics with "moral theology" and seeing how far he can state his universalism without attracting censor.

    I pray God grants the english speaking world another "a-list celebrity" on the "Orthodox lecture circuit"...

    1. The first (1983) edition of the Hopko book (*Women and the Priesthood*) is far better than the second one (1999). I am sorry that in that second one, not only did Bishop Kallistos replace his firm and forthright essay in the first edition with a wimpy one, but so did Fr. Hopko - and Fr. Hopko went on to make the astonishing claims (a) that the subject of women's ordination is "an open question" for Orthodox Christians, and (b) that the Orthodox Church cannot condemn the pro-WO position until there is a unanimity among Orthodox Christians on the subject. This puzzled me: when did the positions canonized (as opposed to those anathematized) by the Seven Councils ever represent "a unanimity" (or consensus) at the time of the meeting of any one of those councils?

  4. Jake,

    You're quite right. It's quite easy to lampoon NFTU without dealing the substance of their various objections. I certainly don't agree with their ecclesiology BUT they definitely have many, many valid points for everyone to consider.

    Met. Kallistos has done many great things for the Church and a host of us are indebted to him for his prodigious labors; but he, similar to one of his 'favs', Origen, has also been 'a trial for the Church' to use the phrase of St. Vincent of Lerins. Lord have mercy.
