Good Lord...............Why in any of these pictures don't they show his face..... My first Idea, I suppose the're trying to pick up people from Orthodoxy (or Uniatism also) and start their own religion, by putting a young guy with all that fake hair.I'm sorry to suppose like that, but there is not type of hair like that. That is full coton-like... And the picture where he is doing a panikhida outdoor (C'mon! where is his censer, he could barely stand, and he can do a panikhida alone without a book in his hands or a person aside him?) Oh my! And which bishop would accept hearing and even allowing it to go on the internet saying about the Wet-shirt contest!? No extremist or anti-traditionalist would ever do that! And we have a traditionalist to do that? How come isn't there any parish information of anything there? I have a feeling the devil is pulling some odd things from these people. (There isn't even a valid address to write to them by mail.)

Lord have mercy on us sinners!

Only one way to find out.

I wouldn't assume a joke about the hair.... let's see who these people are.

I will note it's a very strange joke in another sense if this is a joke.... whoever wrote this thing had a very good understanding of quite a few Carpatho-Russian traditions (the "Having Suffered" is something I remember from Uniatism). Someone willing to play a joke like this-- and take it this far-- would have serious psychological issues.

As for that paragraph, it is a little sad actually. I am a little confused as to precisely where they are, though.

Everyone can think how they want but... why isn't there any statement that of who ordained him? It's simply, to what I see, a way, of retrieving traditionalists along with modernists to take them into another synod. (Why don't they say where is this Bishop's Cathedra?)

Anyways, this won't save us spiritually so... I have no worries..

There could be another reference to the use of the terminology than modernism. Both Orthodox and Catholics there refer to themselves as Catholics-- and when the first Orthodox immigrants came here they referred to themselves as "Orthodox Greek Catholics" (the original name for the Metropolia was "Russian-Orthodox Greek-Catholic Church in America".

This is a spoof site. Behold their latest "bulletin":

"NEWS BULLETIN: SCHISM IN THE TCROGCTCD!

A Ukrainian-oriented faction has broken from our Eparchy and formed a schismatic rival jurisdiction to support their ideology. They have entitled their new pseudo-church the "Proukrainian Rusyn Orthodox Zakarpattia Autonomous Church" (PROZAC) . While our juristiction has no problem with Ukrainians as such, we oppose and are in resistance to all those who maintain that WE are Ukrainians. We ask the faithful to be aware of this new rupture in our church and to pray for the speedy repentance of those poor Rusyns in denial. In the meantime, we ask all to echo our slogan:

SAY NO TO PROZAC!"

Wishing all a blessed All Saints Day.

In the Joy of the Risen Lord,
Rd. Constantine
