Which jurisdiction is he with? <br />I have not read anything on http://uockp.net/ about a visit of an Archbishop to the USA? Or about a parish in Denver. There are pictures of all the Archbishops here: http://uockp.net/bishops.html You can see there is a picture of an Archbishop Olexander Bilotserkivsky listed but he does not look like the Archbishop in the picture.

It's not just a simple matter of "one uncanonical bishop is the same as another". This guy Alexander is completely off the reservation...and not because he is making overtures toward Rome. Just ceteris paribus.<br /><br />I'll give you a less ridiculous example. What if Orthodox bishops started courting the bishops of the SSPX?<br /><br />(Yes, I know SSPX would never go for that.
