Saint Philaret of New York: "I am convinced..."
"I am convinced that there is no grace and cannot be in this very Soviet false church, because it has retreated from faithfulness to Christ, and Christ the Savior is not there and cannot be there. This is my earnest conviction."
"And by the way, let us mention in passing that almost all the Orthodox Churches have joined this World Council of Churches, as I have said, and now specifically the Red Soviet-cephalous Church in America [OCA] that has been already in existence for some years has also joined the World Council of Churches. This means that now they have a new colleague, a new fellow worker — the head of this insane organization of Satanism."
- Saint Philaret of New York (formerly of ROCOR)
"Ecumenism makes the World Council of Churches a society in which every member, with Laodicean indifference, recognises himself and others as being in error, and is concerned only about finding phrases which will express that error in terms acceptable to all."
- Saint Philaret of New York (formerly of ROCOR)
