Let’s say something, not to be unfounded, about the deplorable state of parish life. All sacraments from church actions (which the entire Church performs at the Eucharist, at the Liturgy)49 have turned into private needs. There is anti-church (anti-hypostatic), individualized, egotistical use of the ‘church’ body (committing adultery, the essence of which – using the ‘church’ for oneself, that is, the goal is not the Church, but the church, not the Person- Hypostasis (Hypostases: Three Divine and saints), but the ‘body’ (institutional, earthly aspect, flesh of the Church) with its objectified (transformed into a ‘thing,’ into a de-personalized, torn from the mystery of personal being in communion objective object) ‘grace’ – see Part I). Popes50, priests (otherwise they cannot be called) perform ‘needs’ (not Sacraments!!! And the Holy Spirit is given only in the Sacrament – hence the spiritlessness and fruitlessness!), reduced all-church, catholic, personal Eucharistic actions to egotistical, individualistic, private (And the Holy Spirit is given and received only in the Church, only ecclesiastically, Eucharistically; the goal of all actions-sacraments, performed by the Church, one – to connect a person to the Church, to the community of saints, who live the Kingdom of God, catholic, eschatological unity; the purpose of the existence of created beings – the Church, to become living members of the Church, to begin to live Eucharistically, – all sacraments are directed to this!), at the discretion of the pope (seller, performer of orders for the provision of ‘spiritual services,’ seller of ‘spiritual gifts,’ ‘church production products,’ ‘energy,’ which he sells for a certain price – for something you have to live!?? (irony to the utmost – V.A.)) and buyers-orderers (who need for peace of conscience or for complete ‘happiness’ (hence – ‘need,’ what the popes perform as needed) to perform a church ritual or receive a little ‘grace’!?). The community (which actually does not exist!) does not even know what and when the pope performs; the pope reports to no one about anything (and no one is essentially interested, except: how much money does the pope earn). The community has no idea that the pope owes someone something, or that something is wrong in his dealings, or something is illegal or incorrect (everything is read and performed according to the trebnik, everything, as it is written in the book, how to perform the rites of the sacraments)! Forgot the poor thing (more often – never knew!), what is the Church and why to perform all that is written in church books, what is the Sacrament and for what it is, what its purpose is and when this purpose is achieved… Forgot ‘poor thing,’ that he – ‘one’ – can do nothing without ‘many’ (without the Eucharist – the gathering of the entire Church, – which is the purpose of all actions, for which and for which everything is performed!), without the community (and the parishioners do not know this either!?). The circle of ignorance51, irresponsibility, passivity…
They do not know how it should be, because the pope did not tell, and the pope does not know, because he was not taught (the popes were the same!), or he was a ‘D student,’ did not want to learn, etc. And Happiness as there was not, so there is not (although It has long come, given to all without exception!). (And only you hear the old, as the world, ‘song,’ which began to sound in Paradise: guilty – ‘the woman, whom You gave me,’ ‘the snake…’; guilty everyone, only not me; and the ultimate in such a ‘song’ is always God: ‘You gave me…’. Who is to blame that the body of the church is now rotting?! And ‘Christians’ respond by singing the same melody (only the words are different, but the essence is the same): the pope is to blame (You put him, ordained him)…, and the pope: the academy is to blame…, and the clan, which is at the helm of the academy: ‘predecessors’ are to blame… all, all, only not me, not us… ‘Christians’ sing this song at full volume, only not to take responsibility and not to start repenting, changing and changing!?). Each Sacrament – is the bestowal of the Holy Spirit to the Church, and only he who is in the Church partakes of It! And those who perform, ‘perform’ needs and those who order – remain without the Holy Spirit. The need can be performed by the pope alone, and the Sacrament – only by the entire Church!!!
And now judge for yourselves and see: where are the Sacraments performed, that is, church actions of the entire community of the faithful?! Therefore, do not be surprised: why such spiritlessness, godlessness, Unhappiness?! What to talk about, if even the Liturgy (a common cause by definition), the Eucharist at the gathering of people (who, unfortunately, parishioners (regular or occasionally visiting), and not parishioners and the royal priesthood, who have their own ministry, their own order in the community, for which each faithful is ordained in the sacrament of ordination (confirmation, chrismation)) is performed as ‘need be,’ that is, by the pope for the people, for the laity (ordained priest-priest for the non-ordained)! We saw that in the rites of the Liturgies of St. John Chrysostom and St. Basil the Great there are no prayers that would not be sealed with the word ‘amen,’ which is spoken by all the faithful! And the pope himself reads both the prayer (quietly(!?), to himself(!?), turns out – for himself(!?)), and says ‘amen’ himself!? Even does not have an idea that this word is not his, but – of the people of God! Thus, the pope thinks (if he thinks at all?!) himself as such, who performs ‘something’ (‘sacraments’) for ‘someone’ (laity), and not with the people for the whole assembly (where he is also included)!? The Eucharist has turned into a private ‘need’ (that is, what is performed as needed)!? It’s like: ‘Breathing as needed’ – what an absurd!? The Eucharist from an event of communion of the faithful in the Holy Spirit and being in the depths of the Holy Trinity, in the Hypostatic Divine Life has turned into a ‘thing,’ which can be used for oneself, as needed, by desire (no matter how often this need arises, even every day – this is a sign of adultery, because the Church is used to receive ‘grace,’ but in no way is itself the main goal), then what grace of the Holy Spirit can we talk about?! The Holy Spirit is given in the Sacraments of the Church, not in needs, that is, in private, egotistical ‘want’ for oneself (I need to be baptized or baptize, to be married, to partake, to confess, etc.). Sacraments – are an organic necessity (like breathing), not a realm of wanting, as needed. Only in the Body of the Church (which is the purpose of the existence of each creature!), organic members in the act of communion with the whole Body (in the Eucharist), with all the cells of the organ in which you are, is the Holy Spirit given, the Spirit of the Body of Christ!!! Therefore, all actions, performed outside the Body (outside the community, or without its knowledge, or in a state of neglecting it) are not Church Sacraments and cannot create conditions for the revelation of the Kingdom of God, that is, partaking of the Holy Spirit. And as a result, we have: people baptize – and the Holy Spirit does not baptize (since they do not baptize into the Body of Christ; the Holy Spirit is never given to an individual, but only collectively and in the event of communion, that is, in the Body!)! On earth from the Holy Cup they eat bread and wine, and do not partake of the Holy Spirit, etc. (see Part I).52.
