I was but providing a translation for Helen's comment, with which I agree. There is/was no Argumentum ad hominem, just a translation.
Milla, who is still :ohvey:
Liudmilla,
I was responding to Helen's insult, and I think you know that. Excuse me for clicking the quote feature on your entry and not hers, but since you were good enough to translate it for me, I responded.
This is really getting petty. There isn't a single World Orthodox on this forum who has adequately responded to any of the historical facts surrounding the schismatic formation of their churches, or the countless teachings of the Church which their bishops violate.
Helen, if anyone has responded with haughtiness and arrogance it has been you. It has been my experience with Russians that they excel at this.
I can't believe that this thread has snowballed so completely off topic, or has created the sensation that it has. I posted an article with no commentary, a heterodox accused me of pride, I responded with the teachings of the Church, and all the ecumenists on this site jumped in to defend the heterodox person!
Go encounter some like-minds on Orthodox Circle. The ecumenist administrator there would love you.
