Actually the Catholics are ecumenists now; I doubt they'd excommunicate you for joining Orthodoxy. But still your point stands.

Re: Father Seraphim Rose of Platina: Will he ever be glorifi
Oh ! That is news, Maria ! I thought the whole world did [except fellow Rocor hierarch Archbishop Anthony of Los Angeles !]. Good that you made that clear. Has Fr Steven explained WHY the GOC-Stephanos does not recognize him as a Saint ? If not, could you please ask him for any details ? Thanks if ...

Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
If Bishop Matthew had gone into schism from (broken communion with) the GOC under Met Chrysostom, then surely his defrockings aren't valid from the Florinite point of view? Talking about formally deposing Bp Matthew misses the point, which was that, by his own admission, he was no longer in communio...

Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
Maria, you cite as a source Father Stephen Fraser. That can't be correct. He was not there when Bishop Matthew's followers begged him to consecrate a bishop alone, was he? Father Stephen is just repeating things he has read or heard. Are there official documents from the synod attesting to this? Mu...

Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
Why would Met Chrysostom even consider consecrating Fr Auxentios alone? You make it sound like this constitutes some damning judgment of Fr Auxentios' character on the part of Met Chrysostom, when it sounds more like simple prudence. Single-handed consecrations are highly irregular. And how did Met ...

Re: The integral fast of the 3 first days of Great Lent
Interesting that it says the three-day total fast is "optional". As for eating meat, do they mean that the people ate meat during Cheesefare Week?
