I am SURE it must be VERY VERY Painful for Fr Siluan. He is doing a great job, even being able to
concentrate to post here !
We appreciate that, Father !
As for Bp Stefan : YES he was divorced. I believe I remember him telling me this back before
the dreadful split off of Rocor from its mission and destiny, leaving all these poor "fragments"
to regroup and organize in befuddlement, for it all happened pretty quickly, though planned
for a long time behind the scenes.
This was back in maybe 2003 or so. He was explaining the meaning of the
sepulchre of St John Maximovitch which he himself had carved - MAGNIFICENTLY !
He was considering to become the priest at St Tikhon's, the parish which housed
St John's former orphanage. He told me a couple interesting stories, too, about St John
and his prophecy to then-Fr. Stefan.
He was understandably quite upset about that divorce or separation. It may not have been
legally done, but the wife took off - probably had severe mental problems.
Like the other one, the wife of the subdeacon who was so excited to start an RTOC parish
if he were ordained. Hee hee, he planned it to be a direct challenge to a major MP-Rocor
operation !
I wish there could be Economia applied in these rare situations where the wife gets some
mania attack and is not normal.
Fearfully, this emotionally disturbed behavior happens here in America right and left, too, in this day and age.
It's due to the heavy
number of demons possessing or influencing even Churchgoers.
This occurred also to the present Bishop Andrei of ROAC. Then the wife stalks them and tries to defame the
husband who's trying to fight for the sake of a TOC.
It's OBVIOUSLY the devil working through the unbalanced mind of an unstable wife.
This is the 4th time I tried to post this - I guess the devil is agitated after
his tactics are being exposed here !
