Synod of Laodicea

Local councils, NPNF II.14

Chapter 34

No Christian shall forsake the martyrs of Christ, and turn to false martyrs, that is, to those of the heretics, or those who formerly were heretics; for they are aliens from God. Let those, therefore, who go after them, be anathema.

Notes · Ancient Epitome of Canon XXXIV

Whoso honours an heretical pseudo-martyr let him be anathema.
