Can a Leopard Change His Spots?

<Ah, but then there are the wonderfully holy village priests and old women that the supporters of the MP like to talk about! Personally, I have not met any holy priests in the MP. And as for the old women, I know of people who were put off Orthodoxy for years by the appallingly boorish behaviour of the old women in MP churches. >

You obviously did not meet Elder Savva of Pskov or Eldress Nila of Voskresenk (reposed 1999) or Elder Mikhail of Sergei Lavra?

When the Tsar returns to Holy Russia, from whence will he come? From ROCOR or the Catacombs, even the OCA and may be MP? The aristocrats of true blood are not all anti-MP. Assuming the Tsar will be Orthodox before his accession, which Russian Ch8rch will he belong to?

Otherwise how can he remove the hierarchy and establish true Orthodoxy in Russia?

Truthfully, the Group considered some statistics. An orthodox
representative quoted the "offensive" words spoken by Verbist Fr.
Jerzy Jagodzinski, who questioned the Orthodox nature of the Russian
population observing that, "only 1.2% of people in Moscow
participated to the Easter celebrations", 120,000 out of 10 million.
Actually, Jagodzinski was being generous with the Orthodox church:
Moscow's authorities confirmed that "for Easter less than 1% of the
population attended any kind of religious service". In the last ten
years, there are twenty times more churches than there was under
communism, with building being built or re-opened. Yet in relation to
the immediate post-communism years, only one third of people now
attend the services.

I meant to post that in a different thread. One on the so-called spiritual renewal of Russia. Whoops!

The Monarchy will return only after the third world war, I'll post later I have 4years of research in prophiecies by CANNONISED Orthodox Saints.

Good Lord! Have you not faced the same Fate of the Byzantines? You don't see them coming back with an Emperor. If someone wants a head to lead their country, they should Christ first. Not an Emperor again.
