Priest of Armenian community in Switzerland Fr. Abel Manoukian posed a letter to Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II in light of his recent defrocking.

“Priesthood granted by you is not an honor, therefore its loss is not a disgrace. You might consider the power of defrocking as your privilege, but in reality it is your greatest weakness. Given that the exercised defrock has no ecclesiastical, doctrinal, ritual, canonical or disciplinary purpose and it is merely abuse of power given to Catholicos, I condemn this decision as unfair, unacceptable and illegal,” reads the letter.

Note that Karekin II defrocked Fr. Abel Manoukian on Wednesday.
