This letter condemns the brutal persecution and unlawful actions taken against the Church by heretics, particularly Arian supporters like Gregory, and urges bishops worldwide to unite in opposition and defend the true faith.
Athanasius recounts the violence, plundering, and sacrilege committed during these events, emphasizing the threat these acts pose to church doctrine and ecclesiastical order.
He appeals to fellow bishops to recognize these heretical intrusions, reject their influence, and remain steadfast in preserving the ancient traditions and orthodoxy of the Church.
