Father Asoghik Karapetyan, a member of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin, addressed Archbishop Adamyan of Sion on his Facebook page.
“Holiness of Sion,
With deep pain in my heart and boundless anger in my soul, as I told you this morning by telephone, I publicly declare the following:
Shame and disgrace upon you for supporting false and treacherous bishops, modern-day Judas and Cain.
You ordained and anointed me a priest; you also performed my ordination. And, as my beloved spiritual father, you have always been in my prayers.
You will no longer be in my prayers, because with your lawless and rebellious behavior, you have deprived yourselves of holy prayerful fellowship. Your presence and your “prayer” are an insult before the Holy See of the Lord.
And what an example you set for the clergy and the faithful…
I am so sorry, so sorry, so sorry that you have become such a “patricide” and “child killer.” Almighty God knows us all, truly knows how… to avenge Judas and Cain.
I wish your conscience were still alive…”
It should be noted that today Archbishop Zion participated in the liturgy together with Pashinyan at the Church of the Seven Wounds.
