Blue & Yellow (Orange) ROCOR?! (An Open Reply To The DEPOSED Cleric, Pashkovsky Of Odessa)

Dear Sir,

Slava Isusu Khristu! Slava Na Viki!

Or is it Evlogeite! O Kyrios!

Having read your recent statements concerning the Russian Orthodox church and your innuendo directed at its constituent ROCOR synodeia, I feel compelled to ask you a few questions to ascertain your honesty and integrity.

You write often and without reserve of the "FSB's role in the Russian church today," discounting the Orthodox character of the New Russia and its sway on the Russian government. A government CLEARLY MORE ORTHODOX THAN YOUR OWN "UKRAINIAN NATIONALIST GOVERNMENT," WHICH YOU HAVE NEVER CONDEMNED FOR ITS ANTI-ORTHODOX AND PRO NEO- UNIATE AND RENOVATIONIST ACTIVITIES. Although you do make it clear (at least by implication) that the Communist era is over in Russia, you somehow maintain that "Orthodoxy is feigned and inauthentic" and that the Russian church is not really Orthodox, or at least "not to your standards." Let's address some of these "apprehensions" you seem so fond of and examine what "your standards" really are.

Firstly, your pretension to the "legacy of the pre-Revolutionary Russian church" has now become famous. But, somehow, you fail to acknowledge that that pre-Revolutionary church WAS A DEPARTMENT OF THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND HAD BEEN SINCE THE Patriarchate was allowed to lapse by Peter I. Why is it you have forgotten that? You also fail to mention that the Okhrana had so thoroughly infiltrated the pre-Revolutionary church, that it required Orthodox pastors to reveal the contents of Confessions to it. Turgenev even wrote a famous poem about it. How is it you missed that fact. You also seem to ignore that the pre-Revolutionary Russian church was administered by an Oberprocurator who promoted and demoted Bishops and clergy and at times liquidated monasteries, even censored patristic texts and canonical treatments dealing with how this office was not Orthodox in the slightest but patently Protestant. While it is also clear that your unlawful assembly WOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE PATRONAGE OF THIS OFFICE and that your schism would have been undone by the Okhrana.

So you are asked, Mr. Pashkovsky, how do you in any way represent the pre-Revolutionary Russian church?!

Moreover, Mr. Pashkovsky, you seem to ruminate on the "Stalinist church" and "sergianist structure" ad nauseum and its "ecumenism." Do tell us, Sir, if by "sergianism" you mean "infiltration by a godless government into a local church's administration with the express purpose of propagating apostasy and the 'self-dissolution' of that local church, in a 'heretical concordat' with the intelligence agencies of a given local church so afflicted under a pretext of 'saving the church' or something similar"?

If such is the case, Mr. Pashkovsky, how do explain YOUR beholden associations to the American CIA and British Mi6, both representing FREEMASONIC, LUCIFERIAN ANTI-ORTHODOX GOVERNMENTS, which have led you to engage in anti-Orthodox propaganda and russophobic, ecclesiastical intrigues. Are luciferian freemasons not held to the same standards of "sergianism" then by you, Mr. Pashkovsky? Why is it you assign more weight to FREEMASONIC governments than you do to at least nominally Orthodox ones? How is it you neglect to admit that the pre-Revolutionary Russian government was in many ways only "nominally Orthodox"?

Indeed, Mr. Pashkovsky, how is it you neglect to mention that the US embassy on Ukrainian soil directed its staff to "avoid parishes and institutions of the Moscow Patriarchate" in favour of your canonically unlawful assembly and the "Kyivan Patriarchate" of Mikhail Antonovich Denisenko, a similarly DEPOSED churchman like yourself? How is it you never spoke out about the intrigues of this "Kyivan Patriarchate" in subverting Orthodox parishes and institutions to its control, ITS ECUMENICAL ACTIVITIES AND FOSTERING OF NEO UNIA, ITS BLATENT RENOVATIONISM as something condemned by St. Tikhon and the Holy New Martyrs, its attempts at gaining control of Russian Orthodox institutions such as the Kiev Caves Lavra? Or would such activities have "blown your cover" and neo-SERGIANIST ACTIVITIES on behalf of the CIA, Mi6 and the FREEMASONIC, "Ukrainian nationalist" Orange government?

Indeed, Mr. Pashkovsky, how can your unlawful assembly have any legitimacy claiming to be "resisting sergianism" in the MP when it seems to be your very method of existence since the Ukrainian (post-)Bolsheviks split with Moscow and formed their own (post-)Communist government? Have you no shame, sir, in being such an HERETICALLY SERGIANIST POLITICAL ANIMAL?!

Tell us one occasion when you have spoken out against the activities of Mikhail Antonovich Denisenko or Cardinal Husar on Little Russian and Galician territory. How can you justify your neo-SERGIANIST double standard, sir?!

Sir, are you aware that to leave your synod for another or to found your own at very least canonically requires a release from your former synod of Bishops, and until you receive such a release, you are beholden upon them or canonically treated as a "Vagante Bishop," your assembly considered SCHISMATIC AND UNLAWFUL, and those who concelebrate with you and partake of your "Mysteries" CANONICALLY CONDEMNED?! You are aware that YOUR LAWFUL SYNOD HAS DEPOSED YOU AND PLACED YOUR pseudo-synod under interdict where your ministrations are declared "SCHISMATIC" and "NULL AND VOID OF GRACE" canonically?! Why do you propagate schism and speak ill of the Holy Canons if you presume to be Orthodox and the "heir of the pre-Revolutionary Russian church" while who would be your oberprocurator in your "inheritance" of this local church?

Where have you missed that the "Stalinist Patriarchate" condemned ecumenism at the Moscow Sobor of 1948, along with half a dozen other local churches and also condemned participation in the WCC. Where did you miss the "Stalinist Patriarchate" condemned Unia at the Lvov Sobor of 1946 and reunited the Galician and Carpatho-Russian Uniates to the "ancestral Faith," WHERE THEY WERE GIVEN A CLEAR CHOICE TO RETURN TO THE TRUE CHURCH OR TO BECOME FULLY LATIN HERETICS ("Roman Catholics")and over 90% of the populations of Galicia and Carpatho Russia VOLUNTARILY RETURNED TO ORTHODOXY as a result of the missionary zeal of this "Stalinist Patriarchate"?! Where did you miss that this "Stalinist Patriarchate" CONDEMNED RENOVATIONISM AS HERESY as well the teachings of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov?! Where did you miss that this "Stalinist Patriarchate" refused to adopt the so called "new calendar" and called upon the Orthodox world and certain local churches to "rethink its implementation" for fear of breaching the liturgical unity of the Church and causing schism"?! Can it be ALL OF THESE ACTIONS WERE UNDERTAKEN BY THE "STALINIST PATRIARCHATE" NEARLY TWENTY-FIVE YEARS before ROCOR echoed their necessity and "fidelity to Patristic Orthodoxy"?! You are aware that that is what such measures were termed by Blessed Metropolitan Philaret of New York?!

So according to Blessed Metropolitan Philaret of New York, the acts of the "Stalinist Patriarchate" were not only called "legitimate," but "Patristic Orthodoxy," right?! Is Patristic Orthodoxy then illegitimate, sir? Or was Blessed Metropolitan Philaret's understanding and confession of it? How would the "Stalinist Patriarchate" be illegitimate for acting in accordance with Patristic Orthodoxy?

So how is it the "Stalinist Patriarchate" is illegitimate? Because it ministered to "Socialists"?! Where is it written in the Holy Canons that an Orthodox believer cannot be a Socialist but can be a Lucifer worshipping, freemasonic liberal democrat, beholden to a usurper "provisional" or "White" government? What canonical penalty is there for the role the "pre-Revolutionary" Russian church played in supporting the deposition of its ANOINTED SOVEREIGN for a lucifer worshipping USURPER government?! Or is freemasonic worship of Lucifer politically admissable while a Traditionalist "Stalinist Patriarchate" emanating from the canonical hierarchy established by the All Russian Sobor of 1917-18 not?!

Mr. Pashkovsky, how cognizant of Russian history and the Holy Canons of the Orthodox Church are you when you clearly speak in condemnation of YOURSELF and your own unlawful assembly and in opposition to Traditional Russian Orthodoxy and the historical Russian church? How can you defy the Holy Canons and denounce schism and heresy when YOU YOURSELF PERPETRATE IT while your Mother Church renews after persecution?

Mr. Pashkovsky, how is it your cadres are primarily NON-RUSSIAN and that you have a parity of clerics to "believers" of nearly one to one in a couple dozen institutions in the world? Why do such people even presume to call upon a link to the Russian Orthodox church, especially in light of the FACT they espouse the dissolution of the Russian local church, have an ignorance of Russian history and espouse russophobia, hatred, for Orthodox Russia while advocating luciferian FREEMASONIC LIBERAL DEMOCRACY AND POST CHRISTIAN WESTERN GOVERNMENTS?! Just, exactly, how is this not a spiritual counterfeit, even apostate movement, and attack on Orthodoxy and Orthodox symphonia? How can you morally justify such a hatred of Russia, its Church, in deceiving the very few NON-RUSSIAN converts which make up your canonically unlawful assembly?

Mr. Pashkovsky, I think these questions have illuimnated who you are and what your schismatic and unlawful assembly represents. It is hoped that bodies you have enticed into fellowship with you like the Synod in Resistance "come to see the light" and abandon their associations with you before they too are canonically condemned.

Mr. Pashkovsky, YOU ARE A FRAUD AND A HYPOCRITE, aiding and abetting "Ukrainian" neo Uniates and the "Kyivan Patriarchate" Renovationist, schismatic HERETICS at the behest of the intelligence services of Luciferian, anti-Christian governments. While in the "pre-Revolutionary Russian church," Oberprocurator Pobedonostsev would have had the Okrana round you up and exile you and members of your canonically unlawful assembly to Siberia.

That is the "truth" and "authenticity" of the PSCA. Isn't it, Mr. Pashkovsky?


ORTHODOXIA I THANATOS!

Beneath Contempt ( A Second Open Letter To Fr. Andrew Phillips & The Clerics Of ROCOR)

Otche Blagoslovite.

It has now been nearly a month since my initial correspondence to you. You have as yet not responded. On your website, Orthodox England, you have felt it necessary to provide your readers with a Russian history lesson and a list of Russian freemasons, which curiously omits many of the ne'er thee wells of the last Duma as well as the Provisional Government and Army, not to mention the former Imperial House, viz. the "Nikolaevichi" and "Vladimirovichi." Pathetically, you also fail to mention YOUR OWN Metropolitan in that list and his Latin American "concordats" which have resulted in certain "juridicial advantages" for a ROCOR unwanted and morally compromised in the eyes of Latin American believers.

But you do make one curious statement which reads roughly, "Of course, it is well known that the freemasons were responsible for the overthrow of the Russian monarchy." Then you leave it at that. No mention of Arthur Ransome's DIRECTED role in the Rasputin slander of the Holy New Martyr Tsarina Alexandra and the martyred Tsarevny, DIRECTED BY AMBASSADOR BUCHANAN AND THE BRITISH FOREIGN OFFICE (BFO). You curiously fail to mention how that BFO directed the strikes and Duma reaction to them in those days of late february. You fail to mention that that BFO essentially appointed the "provisional" (USURPER!) governments, be they that of Lvov or especially that of Kerensky. You fail to mention that that BFO encouraged the "dual rule" which transpired as a result of the February White Treason and had a hand in the various soviets as well as their orchestration of an "arrangement" with Lenin and the Bolsheviks as a result of the "July Days" of the FREEMASON AND TRAITOR (The Bolsheviks were ARMED by Kerensky at the suggestion of Arthur Ransome through the BFO), General Kornilov. You also curiously fail to mention that the White Movement was started by these same Russian freemasons and that they WERE IN NO WAY INTERESTED IN RESTORING THE LEGITIMATE RULER OF ALL THE RUSSIAs, BUT WERE, FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, ATTEMPTING TO ORGANIZE A WESTERN FREEMASONIC PLEIBESCITE AGAINST THE BOLSHEVIKS, WHO VACILLATED BETWEEN BRITISH & PRUSSIAN PATRONAGE. After all, Arthur Ransome relayed intelligence to the Bolsheviks and Trotsky at the behest of the BFO, in turn receiving intelligence on Prussian activities in Russia. Arthur Ransome, who was so ever present at meetings of Bolshevik soviets, even in the aftermath of the April Theses of 1917.

Perhaps, you weren't so fully aware of these things and the role of your VILE nation, Britain, a nation increasingly GODLESS BY POPULAR VOLITION and a pioneer in the "renunciation of baptism" movement poisoning the "New Europe," in the savagery and atrocities YOUR GOVERNMENT SET IN MOTION on Russian soil. Or is guilt for the martyrdom of old Russia something you wish to "politely ignore"?! How +Kallistos Ware of you. Enough of your cowardice and presumption. You have entered the Russian church and are beholden TO THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX people and not vice versa. YOU WILL NOT IGNORE THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PEOPLE IN DIASPORA OR TREAT THEM WITH CONTEMPT. HOW DARE YOU?!

Did you miss that the Russian church hierarchy GREETED FEBRUARY AND TRIED TO INGRATIATE ITSELF TO THE VARIOUS PROVISIONAL, "WHITE" (FREEMASONIC!) GOVERNMENTS OR THAT YOUR OWN METROPOLITAN IS AT VERY LEAST "ASSOCIATED WITH THE CRAFT" IN LATIN AMERICA?! Is it not BENEATH CONTEMPT to have a Metropolitan associated with the VERY PEOPLE you admit responsible for the Russian February Revolution and the horrors that befell Russia in its aftermath?! Is it not BENEATH CONTEMPT to allow a person COMPROMISED BY LUCIFERIAN ASSOCIATIONS to be your ruling hierarch without so much as a dot of spittle from your refined and "traditionalist" ROCOR "loyal opposition"?! Or is worship of Lucifer "a perfectly acceptible English avocation" in "some circles"?!

Moreover, have you managed to notice that the ROCOR website, managed by such (in-)credible Judases as Fr. Seraphim Gan, Fr. Alexander Lebedev, and Bishop Jerome (The former Fr. John Shaw, who, AFTER OVER FORTY YEARS AND EPISCOPAL CONSECRATION, STILL HAS NOT BEEN BAPTIZED IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH, the UNA SANCTA. Since when did ROCOR adopt the WCC's BEM?!) has perpetuated your folly with wrath, albeit with more honesty. Metropolitan Alfeev's odious and sectarian FILTH is something they cherish there, calling him their "beloved Metropolitan Ilarion." It seems they want to distinguish between their freemasonic Hilarion and their crypto-Uniate, Renovationist, HERETIC "Ilarion." They do so ever enjoy parading images of photo opportunities between Anglican HIEROSODOMITES and your ROCOR Archbishop of San Francisco. The images that stirs of the "faithful" he ministers are appallingly inappropriate. Is this his "Christian concession" to "San Francisco values"?! The ROCOR site even relishes photo ops with a pretender to the Throne of All the Russias, whose direct ancestors were freemasons and at the gates of the Winter Palace in 1917, threatening the Tsarevich, the Tsarina and the Tsarevny. It seems they like association with such unrepentent ENEMIES OF THE RUSSIAN MONARCHY AND THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE. After all, the Grabbes and Rodziankos were/are "esteemed" churchmen of ROCOR, are they not?! Or is Fr. Potapov's matushka "not to blame" for pursuing the SAME COURSE OF BETRAYAL AND MARTYRDOM OF RUSSIA her grandfather perpetrated with abandon and revolutionary fervour?

Where is your "history lesson" for them, Father?

I personally attended seminary with the man who is now Fr. Seraphim Gan. He was a boy then fresh out of high school, all of eighteen years when he entered. I noticed then a proclivity to slavish fealty to the various cliques which surround ROCOR hierarchs and their "agendas" along with a thorough awe of Russian officialdom, often at the expense of even a modicum of understanding of fundamental Orthodoxy or Russian history. At that time, when Jordanville was still baiting the "Paris school" (Which you still perpetuate), this FRAUD, who was to become Fr. Seraphim Gan, "cultivated" by a certain hierarchical clique, found it so very "Russian" and "sophisticated" to "try" to ruminate on the "Russian theology" of Fr. Sergius Bulgakov, Nicholas Berdiaev, Anton Kartashev and other personae of the Paris school, always failing to mention its more sober representatives like Archimandrite Kiprian (Kern) and speaking with disdain for traditionally Orthodox churchmen like Fr. Georges Florovsky and Vladimir Lossky, who at one time or another had some association with the Institute of Saint Sergius. When it was brought to his attention on occasion that Fr. Bulgakov and his teaching was condemned by ROCOR and the MP as HERETICAL, Fr. Gan found that to be "typical" of the "old school" and intimated its "boorish lack of enlightenment" in hushed conversation. Witnessing where he has piloted ROCOR's website has only confirmend appreciation for the contempt this cleric has for Russian Orthodox traditional theologians and traditional Russian Orthodoxy.

His grandfather, being of a confessor temperament, would disown this Judas as a bareheaded Renovationist, something which he considered even more vile than a "sergianist." Alas, his grandson has demonstrated his esteem for TRUE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX THEOLOGY AND TRADITIONALISM. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Curiously, where has your "variance" with the ROCOR website and certain ROCOR "personae" been, Fr. Phillips? Where were your words when Fr. Lebedev UNILATERALLY vacated the decisions of the San Francisco ROCOR sobor, which predicated reunion with the Patriarchate only after ecumenical activity was renounced and cessation of participation in the WCC called upon to be permanent?! Why did you not cite your "traditional Orthodoxy" and "fidelity to the Russian historical church" then?! Where are your words today when your Archbishop Arndt is praying with heretics and also pursuing freemasonic associations in the "New Europe"?!

To be an Orthodox cleric and yet so disingenuous and dishonest is, frankly, beneath contempt, but ever so +Kallistos Ware in modus operandi, quite dishonestly English.

Of course, by now you have become aware of Elder Raphael's call to act to safeguard the Russian church from (neo-)Unia and the Nikodimite orientation which is threatening Russian Orthodox renewal and perverting it as this correspondence is typed. Why is it you choose to ignore it in your +Kallistos Warean "confessorship"?! Why is it you choose to ignore that the HERETICAL Metropolitan of Volokolamsk has been instructed to advance the RENOVATIONIST agenda of the "Eighth Ecumenical Council" with the UNIATIZING EP, an agenda which includes not only an imprimatur for the New Calendar but a new paschalion, recognition of "papal primacy," formal adoption of "Two Lungs Ecclesiology" (Wasn't this condemned at the 2000 Moscow Sobor as "unacceptible and heretical ecumenism"?!), recognition of Latin "sacraments," second and third marriages for Priests and even Bishops, and the list goes on and on?! Perhaps, your +Kallistos Wareanism and its intentional deception and hypocrisy finds comfort in this orientation and its celebration by the ROCOR website. After all, it would allow you to not jettison your Anglican baggage (along with your Bishop Jerome and your Archbishop Arndt), would it not and be a triumph of the "comprehensiveness" of your (former?) Anglican "denomination"?!

Tell us, Father, how you reacted to the deposition of Bishop Diomid and condemnation of his anti-ecumenism by your European ROCOR Bishops, who then proceeded to vote for the election of a Nikodimite and his curia to rule the Moscow Patriarchate?! Perhaps, the neo-Nikonianism inherent in such betrayal of Russian Orthodoxy is what attracted you to silence and "appreciating the foresight and propriety" of such Iscariotism.

Tell us, Father, have you ever encountered the Russian expression "GOD IS NOT MOCKED!"?!

No, Father, your deception and BETRAYAL of Orthodoxy, historical Russian Orthodoxy in this instance, is beneath contempt.

These correspondences are being addressed to you, Father, for you presume to "wear the mantle" of Orthodox Traditionalism in the New ROCOR. While, your fellow ROCOR clergy are also addressed in commensurate condemnation of their betrayal of Orthodoxy in a spiritual counterfeit they are perpetrating with you. Your lack of shame, of honesty, of fundamental Christian decency is hatefully beneath contempt; while the ROCOR flock is being informed of YOUR COMPLICITY in the Nikodimite ruin that is overshadowing the Russian church today.

You, Father, along with those clergy who walk your path of betrayal with you, will not relish reformation of the Orthodox Church. You will be held to account and stopped.

Of course, an explanation for your willful betrayal of Christ's Church and the Russian local church would be appreciated. Perhaps an understanding as to why your "Traditionalism" lacks such consistency and why the Anglican petticoat shows even upon a cursory examination of your misdeeds. Please explain for the ROCOR faithful (and those of the Russian church as a whole) just what exactly you are trying to accomplish with your "confessorship." Can it be that your "sin by silence" is something not fully understood and appreciated even by yourself?!

Do tell us, Father. Do condescend from your Warean perch to enlighten the "unwashed" (Yet Bishop Jerome celebrates he truly is unwashed?!) and explain to us the contradictions inherent in your "Orthodox pastorship."

Perhaps, your fellow ROCOR clerics can also explain why they tolerate freemasonry establishing itself amongst the ROCOR higher clergy and their acceptance of the Alfeev-Lebedev neo-Mysteriology and its accompanying ecclesiology.

They are your contemporary St. Cyprians of Carthage it seems.

That is, of course, when you can emancipate yourself of the notion that you are "above the Russian Orthodox flock" and "don't have to answer to them."

No, Father, in a good year, your silence and haughtiness would be a disgrace to Russian Orthodox clerics and a statement of false "traditionalism," but in this Nikodimite season of neo-Unia, you and those ROCOR clerics with you have become reminiscent of the handful at Brest in 1596 who proclaimed a "submission to the Holy Father" they had already made in 1595 at the behest of the Polish crown.

The holy memory of such Russian confessors as St. Athanasius of Brest and St. Germogen of Moscow sits in judgement of those ROCOR "traditionalists" like yourself. Perhaps, you might mention them in your next Warean "history lesson" and explain to us why the House of Romanov was chosen to rule Russia in 1613 in the face of Polish attempts at conquest and unia.

This correspondence is written, Father, for the benefit of the Russian flock that they see you and your compatriots for who they are, that they begin appreciating the threat your quiet betrayals and ommissions foreshadow. You ROCOR clerics are betraying Orthodox Russia and the Russian land and people in your feigned "traditionalism."

ORTHODOXIA I THANATOS! (Have you encountered the Lives of the Holy Martyrs of Zographou yet?)
