I just love double-speak....It's so tangled!

What does this have to do with anything new? ROCOR has been in communion with the Serbs and JP pretty much since they left Russia, and these groups have always been in communion with Greece.

Justin,

I think you will find Justin, it is impossible to turn this myth into reality. But you are right, I do need a spiritual doctor, and quick.

It is good to hear from you again, I hope all is well.

Maybe you love double speech because there were "one tine" some bishops with a double speech with regard to certain "Church Mother", but apparently no longer they need double speech.

I just LOVE it when people put words in my mouth.....

Actually, Father, I had this conversation in mind. No "Bishops", No "Church Mother", nothing more simple than this conversation and it's content......

Dear Katya:

Forgive me if I have offended you. We should really sometimes maintain our comments in our mind. It will be an act of charity, I don't say this for you, but also for my.

Words are a powerful thing. Once said they can never be recalled. We often spend a lifetime trying to undo the damage they can cause. And even more often we forget about their power. Perhaps it is for this reason the Holy Fathers caution us so often to be mindful of our words and speech, even more I think than our actions, although that is a close second.

I have not moved away what I have said with conviction, but it is also good and Christian, to ask for forgiveness with humility and simplicity when one has made a mistake, I remind you that these virtues were also exalted by Holy Fathers.
