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.

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 !
