Maybe We Should Read This Again

from The Synodicon on The Holy Spirit (to be read on the second day of Pentecost):

TO: those who falsely and variously corrupt the divine, sacred writings of the the divine fathers, that is, of the great Athanasios, Basil the great, Epiphanios of Cyprus, Cyril, Maximos the Confessor, and the remaining divine and Orthodox holy fathers,
ANATHEMA.
I take this to mean we should be very, very much more careful with our use of the Fathers than many of us generally are. Lord have mercy.
