What do you have to say, Fr Irineos ? That is, if you feel like making a rebuttal. You may want to let it go.
If you want to respond, then we'll see you in the Intra-TOC Forum !

Perhaps all of this belongs in Intra-TOC Polemics. I rather enjoyed my interactions with monk Seraphim and monk Nektarios and I have no desire to attack them personally. As I said, what he wrote is completely at odds with my experience. I'd simply respond that both he monk Nektarios will be in my prayers.

Indeed, lately, the posts at Bishop Seraphim's Facebook account under Monk Seraphim/Jacque Karam are very beneficial as he posts a lot of quotes from the saints.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Please have some more respect and decency and call him at least Bishop..... Especially since this is the public forum as you said.

I must be obedient to my spiritual Father.
I cannot address Monk Kyrikos as bishop or metropolitan because of his history.
Deposition of Kyrikos

Furthermore, we do not have a rule here at E Cafe that mandates the use of any titles of respect.

These two rules apply especially to this thread:

  • - No personal attacks or ad hominem arguments

    • No gossip, slander or unsupported attacks on the character of those outside the forum

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

If this is the case, thank you for notifying me then. though, could i ask for the same courtesy? if it is against the rules here what i wrote, then may i ask that you remove that slanderous false "deposition" letter and move that to the same intra- toc forum?

I was baptised into the Genuine Orthodox Church with the name Matthew on March 1 2016

"Preserve my children: patience, compassion, wisdom, gentleness, humility, silence, fasting, prayer. Prayer gives humility, modesty, and obedience. He who keeps these reasons that lead to the imitation of Christ, provides for the salvation of his immortal soul; he who despises them, despises his own salvation."
- St. Matthew the New Confessor

Whether we agree with them or not, it has been the policy of E Cafe to allow Synods to issue public statements or protocols, which the Avlona Synod did, and which the GOC Synod did regarding the deposition of Kyrikos.

If the Kyrikos Synod has issued a statement or protocol concerning Bishop Seraphim (Karam), then that Synodal statement may be posted here in this thread or in a new thread.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

In fact, Monk Seraphim's rebuttal has been linked in this thread.
