...carries alot of weight and is not going to be taken lightly, I rather think. God help us all to tread softly as we ponder these upsetting events and to love and bear with each other as we struggle for the Truth.
Those with the Gregorian cult who follow Gregory lock-step, with every one of his sniffles, are the only people who feel anything coming from his pen carries "weight".
He has proven himself to be a canonical one-armed bandit, highlighting and obscuring the canons to serve his own purposes and machinations. Would you like a few of the more notable examples?

They can't even get the facts straight. Fr Photius was not ordained in Boston!!!

Please note that I do not subscribe to "Old Calendar Ecumenism" and believe that only the Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos is the canonical GOC of Greece. I do believe, however, that we can break down barriers and misunderstandings through prayer and discussion on forums such as this one.
I find the charges that Metropolitan Valentin was arrested for "smuggling contraband" simply not credible. First of all I know from sources close to Metropolitan Valentine that he did not have a vast sum of money. In fact money ($40,000) that was promised to him was withdrawn when the Metropolitan tried to reason with Bishop Gregory about his may uncanonical actions. In addition, the Metropolitan went to the airport less than two hours before his flight to Russia. When he arrived at the Airport he was strip-searched and in the process lost about 5,000 Rubles ($200.00). Simply, he was searched but he was not arrested. Think about this, would it be possible to search, question, arrest and charge a person in what would have amounted to one hour between the search and the departure of the airplane. It simply is
not possible. In addition, do you really think that Fr. John Claypool
managed to get through to customs and the police in order to get the dirt on the Metropolitan. I think not. the Customs officials and the police are simply not going to give out information on a case that is allegedly pending to any random person that calls their office. This is a fantastic fabrication.
