ROCOR - ROCOR-MP split

[Maria]

The PDF document linked below describes solid reasons why certain ROCOR parishes, including HTM, broke from Met. Hiliarion's ROCOR.

Lord have mercy.

I just read this series of letters one more time.

Lord have mercy.

That Bishop Hilarion would reverse his position of 1987 and within 20 years join the MP by embracing Sergianism and Ecumenism, and then be made the second Metropolitan in charge of the ROCOR by the MP is just incredible.

Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.

I don't understand your post. Am I missing something? The link went to a reply by Bishop Shaw about Fr. Pantelemon.

Actually, if you download the link, it is really not about Fr. Panteleimon.
It is the history of an ROCOR church that left the ROCOR about the time that HTM and Fr. Panteleimon also left.

The reasons given for leaving were that Ecumenism and Sergianism were starting to rear their ugly heads way back in 1986.

Bishop (later Metropolitan) Hilarion either deceived his flock was gradually led down the slippery slope of Ecumenism and Sergianism. Either way, Met. Hilarion sold out the ROCOR.

Greetings.

I saw the mention of this document which sounds fascinating from Maria's description.
But I was afraid to actually download it.
Is there a way someone could possibly copy the text here, so everyone can read it with ease?
I think I went to the link and saw that same caption, and got confused, as Joeasia seems to have.

Many thanks if we can view it and discuss.

After you go to the site, scroll down, answer the question so the site can determine that you are human, and then download it.

Unfortunately, as this is a protected PDF file, you cannot copy and paste it here. If you want others to view it, they must also visit that site, scroll down, answer the question, and then download it. However, it is a great read. One that is beneficial to read as it shows the true faith. Glory to Jesus Christ. Glory to Him forever.

Oh I see then I must go to the library. That is what I was trying to avoid,
as I don't like those places.
But this sounds so intriguing that i will brave a visit there maybe this
weekend, God wiling !
