Be careful if traveling this summer
I glimpsed an article but can't find it now to give the exact reference saying that pickpocketing has reached huge dimensions in European cities like Barcelona, Rome and Naples. The Louvre in Paris has had actual gangs roaming around snatching purses or maybe even bolder aggression. I knew of the fo...

Re: 17 Year old Male with 22 Year old Female?
Well, James R, have you had a chance to meet with her, with or without those chaperones mentioned helpfully by Maria ?! Let's hear more ! I always love a good romance. Have you spoken with her in person yet ? Does she care for you or show interest ? The age gap is not a problem. Only at the tender a...

Re: Ouija Boards?
I had no idea about the "Oui' and "Ja", thank you for supplying that background, Jean-Serge. I came across a mention of something called a "psychograph", which was perhaps a predecessor of the scary evil board. Supposedly someone named Baron Langsdorff using this thing made ...

Re: Archbishop Theophan and the mysterious Fr. Barnabas
I want to check on a map where precisely LImeray is. I had never heard of it prior to this. [Sounds Irish, not French ! Just kidding.] Near Angers apparently. Let's dig out the truth to figure out what really happened here. Archimandrite Nilos has introduced some new information for which we are ple...

Re: Position of RTOC (Tykhon) concerning Name Worshipping
I don't think most knowledgeable people would imagine such a thing, that RTOC accept any of the heresy. Of course, you are right that where there is room for ambiguity , then trouble=makers can seize upon that Achilles heel and attempt to up a conflict where no basis exists. However, all our TOCs ar...

Re: Death of Metropolitan Cyprian of Fili
Right ! Cyprianism turns my stomach. I tried my best to feel sad or whatever but I couldn't muster such emotion. It seems you hit upon something good, Jean-Serge !
