You da man, Victor! The important question though is whether you are in
communion with either His Holiness, Kevinator I, Orthodox Pope of Rome, or
His Beatitude, Constantin, the Orthodox Anti-Pope at Avignon (with a big
yacht).

Before you buy.
What I do take offense to is this group of pseudo-Orthodox
wannabees harassing an Orthodox man and his family merely
because he states the truth that these people are
uncanonical. Not only this but their libel on the news net
and false threats for legal action.
That these people are fakers is confirmed by the fact that
they faked my mail headers and sent a post in my name.
The faked headers all point straight at
theo...@altavista.com
How sad!!
My threat of legal action is not in the least bbit false
and I am quite prepared to go to the American courts if
necessary over this. I have all the evidence.

I find it strange that the Bishops do not come out and make statements like the
ones I find here... when laymen presume to judge entire jurisdictions!
And the "minor dispute" you mention is hardly something "minor" because there
has been great controversy about it. It has obviously been decided that it is
not something to break communion about, but nevertheless, it is a matter of
great contoversy still, even today.
Why has nobody brought up the issue of the Rudder stating that there may only
be one Orthodox Bishop in a Jurisdiction (Diocese) and yet, that rule is broken
openly by every jurisdiction? Does not breaking that rule bring up serious
issues?
There has been ongoing debate about the ROCOR and the other jurisdictions...
some even claiming that the ROCOR is not "valid" and "non-canonical." Does this
mean that the sacraments are empty and non-valid in the ROCOR? I think not.
I remember hearing Fr. Hopko reply to a question about the validity of
sacraments within the Roman Catholic Church. He simply replied, "Does it really
matter? Why does it make a difference if another religion or jurisdiction's
sacraments are valid or not to us? That is best left to God. We should worry
about ourselves. We have enough to deal with." That surprised me at first, and
yet, the more I thought about it, the more it made absolute sense then.
It still does....
(No, I am not a member of the ROCOR...but I am a member of a jurisdiction
within SCOBA... BIG DEAL)

It has come to our attention (through our housekeeper Mercedes Borgia and
her lovely sister Lucretia), that certain Corporate Presidents have decided
to establish themselves as a separate autocephalous Corporation. This has
greatly confused our flock and has caused great consternation to our very
holy selves because our Archbishop Pius the Nazi has now requested the
additional title of Corporate VP for Sales. It has also come to our
attention that the corporate president has some considerable trouble with a
deacon (don't we all) who occasionally refers to him in public as "hey you".
As far as the establishment of an autocephalous Corporation is concerned,
let it be known that we condemn such actions, which are obviously the work
of that arch-heretic (Pope Kevinator) who dares to challenge our authority
even though he does not have a big yacht. As far as the actions of the rogue
deacon are concerned we declare that the correct term for referring to a
Primate and Corporate President is "Corporate Primate Baby" and certainly
not "Nikita darling".
In order to assure our flock that such "here today gone tomorrow" corporate
presidents do not, in the future, make further attempts to usurp powers that
are not rightfully theirs we have established the Synodical Higher Institute
of Typolatry (but we never call it by its initials) which will be the final
arbitrator on matters concerning official terms of reference.
Let our flock be assured that our Yacht is the biggest and that the
arch-heretic (spit thrice) will be defeated.

Typolatry archives)

Oh okay... I am sorry if I over-reacted then. And for someone to "fake headers"
speaks way more than anything else this person could have posted. I did not
believe that was possible to do... I learn something new everyday then...
Just wondering.
Please let me say "A +" for one of the funniest posts I have had the
pleasure of reading in some time.
You hit the nail right on the head. The ridiculous should always be
lampooned!
