There was that comment from Archbishop Elp about the nonOrthodox spouse being allowed to partake of the Eucharist, but I don't remember what happened with that.The hierarchy’s ‘discernment’ around certain issues fell squarely on the wrong side of church teachings more times than it could be called a mistake. It’s more than likely intentional demoralization in the Soviet sense.
Since 2020...
-closed churches: fail
-canceled pascha: fail
-canceled Eucharist: fail
-canceled baptisms: fail
-canceled mysteries in general: fail
-multiple spoons: fail
-iconoclasm: fail
-masks: fail
-waiting list to attend church: fail
-supporting Ukrainian schizos: fail
-pushing vaccines: fail
-no religious exemptions: fail
-BLM support: fail
-pro-choice: fail
There’s probably more, but that’s all I could think of so far.
I agree there are troubling things that have been going on in our jurisdiction. But I think it can apply to all Church jurisdiction, and frankly all Christianity because of the simple fact that we are flawed, broken human beings in need of Christ's mercy and help.
