Please Fr. Silouan, you know Spanish, he was receiving a picture of Guadalupe, not praying a molieben with them.
At least be truthful in your schisms.

With a new path would naturally come a new set of bylaws to replace the original path and beliefs of the ROCOR

The original bylaws were written for the time when the Church in Russia was enslaved by the bolsheviks and the ROCOR governed itself.
Facts:
The Church in Russia is not enslaved by the ...

A Church is known by its saints. A new saint of Moscow Patriarchate Archbishop Luke

Sounds like it was a great idea.
Exposing seminarians from more modernist jurisdictions to a traditional monastic experience.
What's wrong with that?

And again, I'll post my position...
The MP has done EVERYTHING required in order to order a reunification of the Russian Church. EVERYTHING. They have repented, they have renounced Sergianism, they have glorified the New Martyrs, and they are not ecumenist. Regardless of what one or two reckless ...

By no definitions is are the RC's considered Orthodox and they espouse dogmatic differences that have historically placed them outside of communion with the Church.
