Lord have mercy. May Christ our God help our brothers and sisters in Russia to be strong and not be angry and vengeful but show superior love and peace of heart in all their facing of ungodly soviet pseudodox thugs.
What is so disturbing though, more than that is this:
I understand that these Soviet Pseudodox were raised in that brainwashed pro-MP atmosphere and may be forgiven. What, though, of Archimandrite Luke of Jordanville? What about Fr. Alexei Young?, What of the many, many others in the co-opted Amerikanskii MP-ROCOR who having once written volumes against the hypocrisy of the MP-Soviets like Agent Drozdov (Patriarch Alexei), and the false love and faith of the Ecumenist Judases in World Orthododxy, and show how they have understood the Truth Fully in a Free Nation where NOBODY pressures or threatens them to believe anything other than the Truth, have yet now capitulated to copulate with the Antichrist PseudoChurch? What will they answer to Christ, when twenty-five years ago, they all were busily exposing the crimes of the soviet MP thugs who were beating our clergy and faithful in Soviet Union and confiscating their church property and arresting them on false charges, but now they are SILENT! Or worse, they join their voice to the condemnation of the TOC in Russia. What has changed? Is it that the ROAC is sectarian, schismatic, false? NO, it is that they who have joined themselves to the MP have lost their minds, sullied and seared their consciences, and hardened their hearts against the Truth and the heroic stance of those who have not ceased to fight the good fight against the godless atheists. God have mercy on the ROCOR-MPs in AmeriKa who do nothing to voice their shock and abhorrence at such crimes. I say this: if they tolerate what happens now in Suzdal, Petersburg and other places in Russia, they will tolerate it when it happens to us here in North America. If they don't care about religious freedom of expression and association, and the right to own property and confess conscientiously one's faith in Russia, neither will they care about such basic human rights here. If you are silent about this kind of thing going on now in Russia, you MP-ROCOR members, you are condemned with the unjust that the Lord Himself will judge when he returns. Flee this hypocrisy now! If you will not snap out of your doped up stupor and leave the MP communion, and join yourself to the True Orthodox Church, at least wash your hands of this crime and speak up and voice your protests to your bishops and priests until they are forced to say something about this and condemn it. Otherwise you will be dragged away with those who persecuted the Lord's Body.
