Dear Pravoslavnik,
I think you may have misunderstood my post - I probably should have made it much clearer (I suppose here on the internet a comment can be interpreted in many different ways especially if you're not aware of the authors mindset).
I meant: the arguments used by the people quoted in the article (ie ROCOR/MP union supporters) is propaganda.
Sorry for the confusion.
Pravoslavnik,
There is also a method used that talks about situations happening, but the people who do that, for the good of exposing the liars, are also not doing it for the sake of Orthodoxy, but for an agenda of the union? Do not put faith in the integrety of the man even if he may be stating things that come true....because he might already have access to that information because he is on the inside. That is why I mentioned that it's good to hear what they say, because they expose their thinking and we know what to expect.
In order to create a division, there needs be the pawns that start it. Hence, there are those who defend the union and those that oppose. But, look carefully, at the situation. Don't you think that it is similar to the Russian revolution? Why would so many peasants who lived simple lives be brought to the point of revolting in the streets and cursing the Tsar? There had to be key people who started the ball rolling.
Just like Bush needs a reason to attack a country...there needs be a reason to hate that country. It's all a manipulation, at this point, Pravoslavnik...like it's always been in history.
We, who care about the truth prevailing, need to turn our hearts to God and ask for guidance. Only His wisdom will outwit their feable and pathetic attempts.
