About anathema Often we hear this terrible word - anathema - without thinking about its meaning. Some consider the anathema an excommunication, others - a curse similar to spiritual death. Why is the Church preaching love and mercy pronouncing this cruel word? This book contains historical and theological works on the essence of anathema and on the rite of anathematization now being revived in liturgical life, performed on the first Sunday of Great Lent - on Orthodoxy Week. It provides an opinion on the anathema of the saints of the Orthodox Church (St. John Chrysostom, St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov), St. John of Kronstadt), modern theologians, as well as the definition of the Holy Synod and acts of the Council of Bishops on excommunication of famous historical figures from the ancient times to the present day. We hope that the book will help you understand this healing action of the Holy Church, designed to protect the church people from spiritual diseases – heresies and schisms. ANATHEMA Publicly declared excommunication man from ecclesial communion. It applies to certain people as the highest disciplinary measure of ecclesiastical penalties for serious public sins against the Church, as a rule, for heretical or schismatic movement. Anathema also undergo certain theological statements. This means that such statements are not only false, but generally incompatible with Orthodox faith and, therefore, lead to a falling away from it (heresy). In the church sense of the word anathema has not cursed the person (eg, a heretic), wishing him ill, and says it is the actual determination of the Church. If he is alive, he has a chance to repent and return to church. In Synodikon with anathemas most famous heretics (which must be read in the church on the feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy in the first week of Lent) states that they have already laid the anathema. Thus, public anathema only brings to the public a fait accompli of their falling away (upon heresy) from the Church. Although the heretics who have been subjected to anathema, fell away from the Church - the Body of Christ, the question of their posthumous fate remains an open question, since God judges them. Commandment stop ecclesial communion with heretics is already in the letter of the Apostle Paul: ... the heretic man denies vedy, for theirs is such is subverted, and sins, and there is self-condemned (Titus 3: 10-11.). The act of public anathema not only serves as a warning against falling away into heresy and call to repentance for those who have already dropped out, but also becomes a kind of church law (canon), whose knowledge is necessary for bishops, priests, and of all those who teach the people Orthodox faith. If the lack of warning "anathema" signal could be a mitigating factor for fallen away, the presence of an aggravating circumstance is anathema to those who knew about it, she decided to neglect, as well as for those who do not bother to learn about it.
