Out of the constellation of TOC hierarchs, he is one of the greatest.He is strict. Recently, a personage wanted to be ordained a priest but
Bp Stefan refused him because his wife had divorced him.
Yet, isnt' Bishop Stefan himself divorced?

Greetings Maria,
Where did you get the idea that an RFID chip is the mark of the Antichrist? I think this opinion originated from the Protestants, who have little discernment in such matters.

That is funny! Okay, then brother Cyprian, if you are so sure it is so harmless, go ahead and line up and get chipped! All I can say is, "Ain't no way I'm EVER going to get chipped, 'mark of the beast' or not."

Thank you so much, dear Symeon, I will keep you and your ones in my very unworthy prayers as well.

His online bio just says that "He raised four children on his own." No mention is made of getting married, having a wife, being a widower, etc. (http://www.rocor-trenton.com/ABOUT/Biography_EN.htm)
A priest who knows him told me that he was divorced, but if someone here knows differently then I am happy to be corrected.
There are probably a lot more divorced clergy among the "True" groups than people realize, at least here in America.
