Yes and then there is this:
I honestly don't know what to believe.
Okay, I realize that this is sort of a conspiracy theory, so take what I say with a grain of salt: I think that letter is faked. First of all, I remember seeing a version of that letter last year. I doubt Metropolitan Hilarion issued another letter. Beyond that, the font size is significantly bigger than Metropolitan Hilarion's letters usually are. (You can find a bunch of examples on Google, but here's one example: http://theorthodoxchurch.info/blog/news ... ge-001.jpg). Obviously the best way to find out for sure would be to contact ROCOR, but honestly I am not going to do that because I am quite certain that Nathanael is not who he says he is. I just don't want ROCOR to be unfairly associated with him.
