Which recent council declared ROCOR or Met. Lavr heretical?
Or is it just the arm chair theologians who have done so?

Father,
Was there a post removed from here by you or Father Nicolai?
And if so...why?
Theophan.
Yes.
Because the wording was getting personal and off-topic.

Posts like this do a great job showing the love we should have for ALL! If I was not Orthodox it is posts like this that would make me want to run out to the nearest Orthodox Church and beg the priest to accept me into the Church. GREAT job witnessing the Faith! </end rant of sarcasm>
There was no "except" or "only under these certain circumstances" in the words of Christ when it came to forgiveness and love of one's enemy! There was no "maybe I will, maybe I won't." There was a command and apparently we have lost sight of that. Vilify me if you must for coming to the defense of a dead hierarch but this is disgusting.
This is one of the many times in the past year I have read posts on this site and wished that I could remove my name and all of my posts from this board.
Sadly, the Admins will not do that, however it really is an eyesore to search for myself on the internet and see my association with this site seeing what it once was and what it has now become.
May Almighty God have mercy on us all, for we are in dire need of it.

Clearly this guy had never read the New Testament in his life.
Suing other Christians goes against the very essence of the teachings of Christ.
Saint Paul himself forbad such a practice.
