Who are you, gentlemen usurpers of the Serbian Orthodox Church, to expel any believer from it? Who gave you that right? From whom do you draw your power, you who have hidden yourselves under the miter and the kamilavka? You who hide your false face with beards up to your navels. You who have separated yourselves from God, renounced Him and decided to serve the lord of this world. You godless people who have emerged from darkness. You who carry atheism in your hearts and who do not take Christ into your mouths. You who deceive this unlettered people with church rituals without content and without meaning. You who prefer the base passions of man, all kinds of fornication, to prayer. You who have imagined that it is up to you to accept and exclude from this national church of ours.
I'm addressing you. And I'm looking you straight in the eyes. Those deceptive and insincere eyes of yours.
And I'm telling you.
Through the act of baptism we become Christians. We receive God into our consciousness and soul. No one can ever take that away from us. You can force us, forbid us from entering temples, set up security and fences, but you cannot separate us, any of us individually, from our faith in Christ and the Orthodox, Serbian and Saint Sava faith. And you have already separated yourselves to a great extent, as you prove to us every day. If you have ever been truly united with Christ and Saint Sava.
Criticism bothers you, doesn't it? Does the word unruly and free bother you? Does it erode and crush your vanity? And like your idol, you demand unquestioning obedience, don't you? It pleases a crippled soul.
Christ, I remind you, rebelled against the rulers and religious leaders two millennia ago. And he spoke the word of true faith in God. And because of that he was insulted, defamed, humiliated, mocked. And in the end he was condemned and crucified in torment. Do you remember that, gentlemen usurpers of the Serbian Orthodox Church? Read Mark, Matthew, Luke and John again. Read and face your heresy. With your sin. And sin and transgression.
Aren't you afraid of meeting the Almighty? Of course you aren't. You don't believe in him, so you have no one to fear.
We know where your church is. We know who you pray to and who you pray to. We know to whom you have sworn allegiance and in whose interest you are doing this dirty work.
But don't worry. There is a God! And you too will come before his judgment seat. No one has ever escaped him. Neither will you.
Why don't you remove me from the Serbian Orthodox Church? Why don't you close the doors and forbid me from the altar? Here, I challenge you. I challenge you and provoke you. Drive me out. You, untouchable highnesses, the most holy and sanctified, and I, the humble servant of God, do not go together. We do not belong together. My church is true. Always the same. Unchangeable and eternal.
And yours? From boss to boss. From master to master. Not to the Lord. You are miles away from the Lord. For you, the church is a political organization. Your scum. Your business. For you, the church is not the "body of Christ". For you, the church is not the property of all believers and each believer individually. You imagine that you are above others. Above the rest. Above the common people. And you are not. But you are much lower. You are on the floor. At the bottom. In the wilderness.
The godless have already done the greatest harm to this people. And caused them irreparable damage. They convinced them of meaninglessness and futility. They taught them that they were a special man, a superman, a ruler, more important than God. That they should bow down to him and kneel before him.
Now you, gentlemen usurpers, are doing the same. Identical. Instead of returning the people to the true faith, preaching peace and goodness, opposing arbitrariness and autocracy, you are engaged in politics. Regime politics. In the glory of idols and idolatry.
You are usurpers and impostors. Self-proclaimed. And self-infatuated. Arrogant and cruel. Heartless and merciless. With a whip instead of a cross. With a club instead of communion. You forgive only yourself. You flatter yourself and please yourself. And you act in the name of the church you trample on. With soiled shoes. Of a thousand euros, I would add.
You are corrupt. You have become corrupt. No human vice is foreign to you. From the love of power and vanity to enrichment and luxury. From depravity to Phariseeism. Do you even know what Phariseeism means? Do I need to teach you that too? Or will you do it yourself?
In the eight centuries of the existence of the autocephalous Serbian Church, no one has dared to stoop to this lowliness as you have. No one. At least you will be remembered for this epochal achievement. Foreigners have destroyed our church, persecuted its priests, imprisoned its dignitaries. They have burned its holy places, destroyed and desecrated them.
But you are worse than all of them. You are degrading it by acting from within, you are degrading it by referring to it, you are slandering it, and you are at its head. What none of our enemies have achieved, you have achieved. Enemies of all kinds have attacked the Serbian Church, attacking it, wanting to reduce it to dust and ashes. And the Serbs have separated themselves from the "faith of their ancestors". And every such attempt has ended in defeat. Until you.
The Serbian Orthodox Church, rightly and deservedly, was once a symbol of our dignity, defiance, and non-conformity. Our devotion to Christianity. Our eternal source and our last refuge.
You finished her off, already wounded and weakened. You pushed her into the mire of earthly evils. You disfigured her bright face.
For a long time I weighed every expression, every word, when I spoke and wrote about the church. I belong to the lineage that never renounced Serbian Orthodoxy under any circumstances. And when no one in the entire Vlajkovićeva Street celebrated the feast of the Nativity, a priest came to my house every 19th (6th) of December. I avoid writing about myself and my family. This time I had to. You forced me to do it. With your foolishness and your unbelief.
In bad times one must show oneself. In bad and perverse times. Such is the case today. And you, gentlemen usurpers, have joined in the circle with that evil and that perverseness. The circle of the eclipse. And if you dance, you dance. You party and feast with the worst. You are no good to freethinkers. You are close to all sorts of villains. You have your guards and your guardsmen. Your bodyguards and your protectors. Your palaces, silk and velvet. And a few little boys to entertain you in your leisure time.
Did I say something impermissible? Did I mention a taboo? What is not allowed to be spoken about? What is absolutely not acknowledged? Someone has to call you out. And warn you. Someone who is a believer, who is of Serbian descent, a traditionalist and a conservative. Someone who should be on the same side as you, but is not. He is on the opposite side. On the opposite and opposing side to you.
You carry misfortune and the sign of blasphemy. You carry… God protect me and hide me. I'd better not mention it.
There is also a rare example of a good man among you. How many of these few are true Christians, I have not been convinced. How much their lives, thoughts and souls are imbued with Christ, I do not know. A noble heart is not enough. A deep and intimate faith in God is necessary, it is indispensable. If you hate the Gospels, read Dostoevsky. "The Karamazovs" for example.
We will have to do without you, unfortunately. And against you. You have placed yourselves on the (wrong) side. On the disastrous and dangerous one.
You are lost and written off. Even God cannot help you. Simply because you do not believe in Him.
Forgive me, dear reader, for spilling so much bile. But what's too much is too much. I'm fed up...
