Dear Brothers in Christ,
We beg of you all that pray for us the argentinian orthodox christians. This Sunday of St. Nicholas, the Holy Trinity Cathedral, in the road Brasil 315 of Buenos Aires City will be asieged by a marxist mob, in the Holy Liturgy’s time. The reason for this is that this groups (with approbation of the MP) wish the church homes for illegal ocupations. This move has some approval from the leftist city gouvernement.
Please pray for us, and resend this message.
With Love,
Giorgos

Giorgos,
Letter en route to the Argentinian Ambassador. Sad that you and your confreres face such a trial and affront...............
Direct approaches to the Mayor, Anibal Ibarra, and the Chief of Police, Francisco Miglino, from abroad may be one form of pressure to ensure things are not allowed to get out of hand.
Have you contact details for both these gentlemen, such as e-mail addresses? Anything else will be inadequate given the nearness of the day.
I have found one e-mail address for the Buenos Aires police,
cped@pol.gba.ar. Is this the correct one for the jurisdiction covering the City of Buenos Aires?

Thankyou in the Lord, dear Brother ,
The beautiful and magnificent Cathedral (1904), Saint Nicholas Czar's gift is classed Historical Monument.
Sadly, the agitators had injured one of the Cathedral's priests in the last days .
In Christ,
Giorgos

Dear Brother:
It seems that this manifestation New Bolshevik against the Russian Cathedral is originated by a personal problem of the Father Rector of the cathedral and it consists in that a donated property to him, it located in the Street Carlos Calbo in Buenos Aires (this property doesn't have legal documents). The property was usurped by some bad peoples and bad life and the priest has not been able to expel them to the property because he doesn't have papers.
It seems also that those bad people maliciously appealed to those Bolshevik groups and in that way they will go against the Cathedral. The Bolshevik surely allies to them to cause of the votes in the elections, bad politic, etc.
That is to say that what is only a "problem" personal for a property, it finishes becoming an attack to the "Orthodox Church in General" as say the same Bolshevik.
But I estimate that these Bolshevik doesn't have anything against the Orthodox Church (Here we are a minority and they for cause their ignorance don't know what we think, we believe etc)
They only take advantage of the situation to their Leftist ends and the Wicked Bolshevik Cause.
Excuse me to my bad English
God Protects the Holy Trinity Cathedral!

I have e-mailed the mayor, the city and federal police. In doing so I have tried to be sensitive to Argentine pride. As I understand it, naturally, Argentinians are not too welcoming of foreigners telling them what to do, e.g. The World Bank, International Monetary Fund, etc..........
Be strong for tomorrow. God sometimes sends us troubles to try us.

Thank you and about Argentinean Government
Dear Brother:
Thank you for your solidarity towards the Cathedral (I also, although I am not of ROCOR, but the Cathedral is of all, because its build for the Czar, in times of that strong and undivided Russian Church)
As for the Argentinean Government regrettably is supporting these evil New Bolshevik and until it gives them a salary without working and alone so that they make disturbances.
Dear brother prays a lot for us, so that we don't fall in other a "Russian Revolution"
Orthodoxy or Death!
With Love in Christ

- Dear brothers,
Thankyou very much for your concern, and the envisaged actions.
The papers of property, BUT THIS IS NO THE QUESTION HERE, I think that are in order, and the Justice is near to expel the occupants. This is precisely one of the motors of this agitation.
The PM has issued a "paper" calling this "not a problem for the Russian Church", paper delivered at the okupas.
Add this at all the question.
Giorgos
