Hmmmmmmm- I accidentally right-clicked on something on that page and an error message popped up saying that I can't steal things from them. They seems to have neglected metanoia in favor of paranoia :)

*LOL*

On a completely unrelated note, you all must check out the following page:

Happy reading!

I don't know in what measure one can trust www.pokrov.org, but it seems that the primate of this "american othodox church" has not only friends.

There are a few of these vagante groups that were started based on their leader being accused of sexual impropriety, including one started by a child molester.

However, I do not trust "pokrov".

THe "founder" of that church was (according to their site) a Ukranian Catholic priest who, when he came to America was rejected by the Roman Catholic Church because he was married. Looks like after that, they were scammering around trying to get ties to the Eastern Orthodox Church and receive immediate blessings for their autocephaly (sp? is that even the right term?). Looks too complicated to me. Anything that requires THAT much effort to "prove" their canonicity is immediately in question in my mind. IOW, STAY AWAY!!!

And my friends, as far as amusing vagantes go, there is none better than "His Eminence the Metropolitan-Archbishop Dr. Chief Alexander Swift Eagle Justice, DD, PhD, DD --Theologian, Academician". Get a load of all his titles, including "Grand Duke of the Holy Russian Empire", here:

Happy cringing!
Thanks for posting this link, Julio! I was trying to tell my priest about this guy and I'm not sure he believed me (let's face it...it sounds too ludicrous to be true!). Now I can send him the link. I think he'll get a kick out of it.;)

Be careful what you say about him though. There is a rather lengthy section on his site explaining that he will sue for 10 million dollars, anyone who talks bad about him, or quotes anything without permission.

So that's how he got his name. :idea:
