Re: EP giving Patmos Orthodox Church to Roman Catholics?

No, his actions are the actions of schismatics, apostates and heretics. Your trust is greatly misplaced. I was where you are, and a revelation struck me: we do not owe obedience to hierarchs who are actively destroying Orthodoxy.

Let the fathers speak, and you tell me what your conscience says when ...

Re: OCA Cathedral in NYC hosts ecumenical event with pagans

The picture is a before and after. The same hieromonk. I am not sure which one, but it was clear from the website I found it on that it was an old Calendarist hieromonk who was disfigured by the Archbishop.
