Which must have been also the publisher up til 2005 of what Fr Gregory called "the semi-official directory" of Rocor clergy. I don't think I knew he was the one. I remember when it stopped publication and didn't return. So now it's clear why it ceased being available after the union.

Very interesting from that letter was that Bishop Gabriel estimated 75 clergy did not agree to the Rocor union with the MP. Fr Gregory gauged about 225 Rocor clergy altogether.
So, the latter concluded that ONE THIRD of the Old Rocor clergy were against the union !

I have never heard that percentage - quite a significant number it was !

As for Fr Andrew Philips, who was unaccountably keen on the union, he actually left Rocor-Mp years later over a dispute about letters of release for clergy in the UK or something like that.
So he was not one to talk, himself, about clergy exiting Rocor !
