Re: Blessed Pope Pius IX, instigator of Papal Infallibility?
Pio Nono, as he was known at that time period, was connected with Freemasonry ?? I never had imagined such a possibility. I will have to check the documents you provided, Archimandrite. Too, we must think carefully. If their site does claim that Pius IX had a link to Italian Masons, how can we belie...

Re: question about newspapers and magazines
No ! We protest, along with that guy you mentioned, your planned departure, and lobby for peace here, like him ! We want to hear the rest of the story. Or at least, the next installment. This is priceless and we won't hear it from anyone else who was there. Was the name of the ship Kirghiz Komsomol,...

Re: Marriage
Ah, I didn't know it was Peter I who pushed for that. Makes sense, for he did away with the Patriarchate after the
death of Patriarch Adrian, and installed a rather subservient group led by the Oberprocurator, a layman. [Unbelievable !]
I wish he had never voyaged to Holland....

Re: Metropolitan Philaret of Kiev [Kyiv], head of Lavra
Oh little tears at what Alexander wrote ! But Maria's reply gives me hope that Alexander will not have to leave after all. Alexander, by popular vote, we want you to stay ! I admit I did not stick with the Russian lessons, though I really want to learn. Do you know I even applied for a grant a long ...

Re: Marriage
Interesting discussion. I didn't know all these details.
It is too bad that the interfaith marriages began so early and seem to be mushrooming in the
last few decades ? How long has this trend been going on, would anyone say ?
Last 40 years maybe ?

Re: Strange Events Happening within the Makarian-HOCNA Synod
Oh, no, don't do that, Alexander !
You have been fantastic, helping us all with all sorts of insights and fun and interesting material.
If you go, the Forum will slump.

Re: Archbishop Averky
I see there is another priest on Archbishop Averky's other side, now with the expanded version of the photo. Now I see more clearly, too, that it is an icon of St Vladimir which Archbishop Averky holds. The other picture is nice, too, so spontaneous and realistic, just like the first pic. I can imag...
