the OCA Hierarchy INFIDELITY / FAILURE to observe Biblical, Canonical, OCA Statute, ROEA Constitution and By – Laws provisions & procedures & Policies, Standards, Procedures of the OCA on Sexual Misconduct 2003, and the Order of Electing and Consecrating of a Bishop provisions, and a canonically grounded call for resignation of the OCA hierarchs and R.O.E.A. Archbishop complicit in cover up of the OCA – ROEA homosexuals = sodomites = clergymen
REV. FR. VASILE SUSAN IS BREAKING THE SILENCE AFTER MORE
THAN 6 YEARS OF O. C. A. INACTION AND LAWLESNESS
……………
Notes / Explanations / Clarifications / Personal Inputs / Comments, etc:
1 – This was a fantastic interview … done by Mr T. Kalmoukos … because TNH received information regarding the issue at stake: COVER UPS OF THE O.C.A. HOMOSEXUALS = SODOMITES CLERGYMEN, FOR SO LONG … via Internet … and Mr Kalmoukos went on http://www.pokrov.org, and following the reading of that site March, April 2010, postings, he openly and transparently did the interview.
As for +Phillip, the AAOAA Primate, he suspended one of his Bishops, according to the http://www.pokrov.org, and AAOAA records … issue without comments from me …
As for +Jonah, the OCA Primate, he is still compromising himself NOT WILLING to act as the OCA Primate, and show respect to the many issues he is facing at the present time, but not limited to the COVER UPS of the OCA homosexual = sodomites clergymen.
Both issues: HOMOSEXUALITY = SODOMY of the OCA clergymen, and the COVER UPS of the OCA OCA homosexuals = sodomites clergymen by the OCA Bishops, are UN – CANONICAL …
I am glad and very thankful to Mr Kalmoukos for being able to question both +Phillip and +Jonah, about this issue.
………………
2 – I’m curious however, Kalmoukos ends both this interview and last week’s with +Philip on a rather gross note (concerning homosexuality and pederasty) … The TNH interviewer had prior knowledge about this issue. He surprised so many people, including you all, not me. I am so glad the primates, responded as they wish, and they did well.
The AAOAA Primate +Phillip, is “IN LINE” regarding this issue, he is doing what he is saying.
The OCA Primate +Jonah, is “OFF LINE” regarding this issue, he is not doing what is saying.
……………….
3 – Is he trying to telegraph something? … the answer is yes … Mt T Kalmoukos is telegraphing to the world (step by step) … more than so called “DUPLICITY, DOUBLE STANDARD, BREACH OF CANONICAL PROVISIONS” of the OCA Primate, +Jonah.
Is there “ANY CANONICAL PROVISIONS” or “ANY ORTHODOX CHURCH CHARTER PROVISIONS” … WHICH can make “THE NEW CONVERTS TO ORTHODOXY ELECTED BISHOPS EXEMPT” from observing or being in line of / with the Canonical provisions regarding the HOMOSEXUALS = SODOMITES, within the Orthodox Church in general or the O.C.A. specially? There is nothing like that, EVEN for the American Orthodoxy. Everything not in line with the canonical provision regarding this issue, is “NOTHING ELSE BUT ANOMALY, … including the O.C.A’s cover ups Un – Canonical practice, as well.
………………..
4 – And if so, to whom? … the telegrapher = Mr T Kalmoukos … is telegraphing to the OCA Primate +Jonah … to be more serious in regards to this issue, and to be IN LINE, and NOT OFF LINE. Also the OCA Primate +Jonah should know that, there are “NO ANY CANONICAL PROVISIONS” or “ANY ORTHODOX CHURCH CHARTER PROVISIONS” … WHICH can make “THE NEW CONVERTS TO ORTHODOXY ELECTED BISHOPS EXEMPT” from observing or being in line of / with the Canonical provisions regarding the HOMOSEXUALS = SODOMITES within the Orthodox Church in general or the O.C.A. specially.
Mr T Kalmoukos, is the watch dog on this issue, at least for the OCA Primate +Jonah, … this is my impression at the present time. The name of that person Mr T Kalmoukos is thinking about, and is under the microscope lens, is the ROEA Archbishop, along with the OCA Synod, including +Jonah, as the OCA Primate, complicit in COVER UPS of the OCA homosexual = sodomites clergymen.
………………..
5 – Anybody else pick up on that? … The above explanations, etc are … “FREE OF CHANGE at this time. However, I would like to get from you Mr G. Michalopoulos, the E-mail addresses of the OCL members, to be able to TELEGRAPH them more info regarding ONE of the OCL advisor members. My E-mail address is: vasilesusan@hotmail.com.
I hope “ALL THE ABOVE” satisfy you and many more.
Please reply to my E-mail address.
Sincerely,
In Christ the Lord,
Rev Fr Vasile Susan
]]>Eliot, if this is so, and your analysis is trenchant, then Orthodoxy is not ready for America. In reality, I see no reason why christianization of Americans can’t proceed apace. The reality is far more complicated than an either christianize the paganized ethnics/or christianize the paganized Americans. Many ethnic Orthodox have returned to the Faith because of the missionary efforts to the non-Orthodox, either through convert missionaries or through a prick in their own consciences (a “eureka!” moment so to speak.
If I may, that’s one reason why what Frank Schaeffer is doing is so dangerous. By allying Orthodoxy with the secular Left (and there’s no other way than to put that), he’s damaging the spiritual witness of Orthodoxy. By labeling Evangelicals as “American Taliban” he’s driving an unnecessary wedge between many converts and cradles right through established parishes.
Anyway, I don’t want to spend time on Frank at present but instead wanted to address your larger point. There is no necessary dichotomy between evangelism per se and caring pastorally for established Orthodox Christians who’ve been secularized.
