Comments on: The Greatest Scandal https://www.aoiusa.org/the-greatest-scandal-in-american-orthodoxy/ A Research and Educational Organization that engages the cultural issues of the day within the Orthodox Christian Tradition Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:51:14 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.3 By: Nick Katich https://www.aoiusa.org/the-greatest-scandal-in-american-orthodoxy/#comment-7489 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:51:14 +0000 https://www.aoiusa.org/?p=4626#comment-7489 In reply to Fr. Peter.

Fr. Peter: As you undoubtedly know, SCUBA is an acronym for “Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”. In other words, it allows one to live and exist outside of one’s true mileu. It allows a man to be a fish, something that he is not. Anyone who has done scuba diving knows the exiliration and eurphoria of being a fish and forgetting everything else around us. (“What, me worry” — AlFred E. Neuman]). Perhaps that is why Google finds a similarity.

When you Google Search SCOBA and Abortion you get some site about Scuba Diving… Hmmmmm

Their silence is noted and it is time they get off the dime. Most the Orthodox Congressmen are Greek so maybe they could show some leadership here and get this moving.

its official position regarding right to life issues at

http://www.bioethics.org.gr/en/03_c.html

It is the response of the Holy Synod to the European Union

I just used the information available on the National Right to Life site. They have a Congressional directory from which I chose the Orthodox members one by one and looked at their voting record.

As for groups, I have found Orthodox Christians for Life though their website seems a bit out of date.

Does anyone know how to track the abortion voting records of Orthodox representatives? Is there a web site that keeps an updated scorecard on this information?

Also, is there any Orthodox group that is organized to advocate the Pro-Life message?

I guess Ms. Tsongis has money and that is why he is silent! He also will not attend the March for Life becasue he feels that Bishops Marching is beneath them.

Hmmmmm

The continued silence of the hierarchs on this critical issue is a glaring dereliction of their sacramental duties as defenders of truth, promoters of moral values, and the advocates for the absolute sanctity of life. They are lukewarm to the core; quite far from the lions for Christ they are required to be!
