Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
The single-handed consecration of Bishop Spyridon took place on Sept. 6/19, 1948, and then the other three bishops were consecrated by both Met. Matthew and Bishop Spyridon in the next three weeks (one per week). I too do not have the date, but Hieromonk Auxentios left sometime in late 1948 or earl...

Re: The Betrayal Papers (Muslim Brotherhood)
Wow. I don't know . It seems a little extreme.
As an American, do you think your government has become a tool of the Muslim Brotherhood?

Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
St. Matthew's actions were justified. He and his fellow bishops wrote to Met. Chrysostom twice correcting him for his error in departing from the original 1935 document, but Met. Chrysostom persisted in his error and continued to vacillate neither returning to the EP or Greek State Church nor retur...

Re: Bp Auxentios GOC-K: 1-19-2015 OS - Debate
I think you're missing the point. They left Bishop Matthew because they believed that Bishop Matthew had committed an act against the canons. They were not the only ones. It is unreasonable to accept your own discipline(defrocking) from someone you believe has no authority to do enact such disciplin...

Lydia, the canons cannot depose anyone, and there is no such thing as self-excommunication in Orthodoxy. Archbishop Matthew of blessed memory exercised economia in the performance of a single-handed ordination. Until a synod were to convene against him and depose his bishops, they remain as bishops...

Re: UK vs Russia?
I haven't yet looked at the specific article. But I believe that this is ALL hype to strike terror into the hearts of the world. I haven't paid much attention because i think all the hostile reports are propaganda. I don't expect any WW3. Life will go on, as it always has : crises built up to a cre...

Re: Huge Cat Fight between Hillary Clinton & Valerie Jarrett
Left wing conspiracy and fire works? This could turn ugly fast. ... Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state, sources tell me. But she did so through people outside the administration...
