Everyone should be writing a letter to Archbishop Demetrios to express their rejection. I cannot believe that he made the comment stating that Governor Cuomo shows "a manifestation of a very strong inner love for the people."<br /><br />Really?!?<br /><br />He certainly does not show love for the little ones who are murdered in the womb!<br /><br />I have one final comment. The OCA is usually the most visible Orthodox jurisdiction at the March for Life in Washington every year. Why is Metropolitan Tikhon present at this abominable ceremony?

On the one hand, you have a repentant man who has publically repented of his sins (though IMO still should not serve in a diocesen capacity). On the other hand, you have Patriarchs, bishops, and layperson who knowingly, soberly, deny the faith and throw a pinch toward Caesar's gods for a...wait for it............... a building. <br /><br />Now, which level of Dante's hell will these sorts of men be found?

I hope they gave the former parishioners a spot to worship there.Palomnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543658872512777512noreply@blogger.com
