"I am very sorry that you have become like this: a 'patricide' and a 'filicide'." Father Asoghik Karapetyan

Father Asoghik Karapetyan's Facebook post: "SPEECH TO ZION ARCHBISHOP ADAMYAN"

Holy Zion,

With the deep pain in my heart and the unfathomable anger in my soul, as I told you in a phone message this morning, I now publicly state the following:

Shame and reproach be upon you for having joined the deceitful and treacherous bishops, the modern-day Judases and Cainites.

You ordained and anointed me as a priest, you also performed my ordination. And as my beloved spiritual parent, you have always been in my prayers.

You will no longer be in my prayers, for by your lawless and rebellious course you have expelled yourself from the holy communion of prayer. Your presence and your "prayer" are an affront to the Holy Table of the Lord.

And what an example you are for the clergy and the faithful...

I am very sorry, very sorry, very sorry that you have become like this, a “patricide” and a “filicide.” The Almighty God of us all knows, truly knows, how to repay Judas and Cain.

"I wish your conscience were alive..."
