MY PERSONAL
OPEN LETTER:
To come to the correct and
truthful & full understanding about any complicated matter, one must understand both the specific various claims or individual issues, and also
see, always!, the bigger, overview big picture- and examine all sides of an issue, [as best as is humanly possible] and
then, carefully, come to some logical and hopefully, just conclusions....to arrive at the truth.
Having myself been an
Orthodox Christian since my age of 17, and a long term member of the
pre-2007 old ROCOR, and since about 2006 onward, I have daily analyzed
just about every word and action of Vladyka
Agafangel that I could, [ including what his detractors have claimed]
and I feel that I have a basic understanding of both his history, his
fundamental personality, his belief system, and his general outlook, so
that I feel that as best as can be; I KNOW
HIM...and thus, I highly respect him.
He is honest, and soundly Orthodox and a fighter for the Faith.
Most
of his critics and attackers are not. These hostile schismatic leaders
are ignorant and/or deliberate slanderers and liars and deceivers,
and those who listen
to them and follow them are the blind being lead by the blind, and
basically are little more than naive fools. And how many of their
leaders are KGB/FSB propaganda plants in and around our Russian Church
Abroad?
America is swarming with them! ROCOR/MP and the OCA are filled with them too.
Mr.
Vadim Yarmolenits [who lies about particulars in the Holy Trinity
parish] clearly gives all indications that he is such a pro-Putin
anti-Ukrainian Kremlin plant
in our church, and Sofrony Musienko also, shows many similar
manifestations of being such a one also. Their words betray them. While
our Vladyka Agafangel has tried and still is struggling to KEEP HIS
CHURCH OUT OF THE Putin instituted WAR HATREDS, that V.
Putin has stirred up. For that, the pro-Putin agents label him as
'mixing politics into the church'! Unbelievable!...which is exactly
what they
are doing, an example of Sergianism....using the church to support
evil secular & now neo-soviet governments in their evil actions,
including their unjustified and immoral wars.
A
year ago or so, and after Putin's unjustified terrible destructive
invasion of Ukraine, in a phone conversation with Vl. Andronik, he
declared to me, to my shocked
& disgusted surprise that: "Vladimir Putin is an Orthodox leader of
an Orthodox country!" [of the Russian Federation]. By thus saying he
was de facto supporting UNCHRISTIAN mass murderer dictator Putin!
YESTERDAY:
I have just forced myself
to read all of the angry and hate-filled tedious and rambling and
mostly illogical 'resolutions' posted from 'learned experts on
Orthodoxy, the Mt. View scholars' (?) from the Schismatics'
Mountain View meeting. Unbalanced Fr. Andrei Erastov's rambling and
disjointed dissertation is especially boring and mostly irrelevant, and
never comes to a logical conclusion or proves that Vladyka Metropolitan
Agafangel deserves any removal punishment at
all. But, Fr. Andrei does.
Plus, previously I have
read the other earlier claims of some of those in this rebellious group,
against Metropolitan Agafangel and our other ROCA bishops, etc.
And that includes what the
rebel Ishevsks pro-Putin rabid nationalist clergy have alleged against
him, and also accusations from impious excommunicated Mr. Nazarov and
some others in Russia.
And too, I am aware of,
[in fact for a few years now], of some of the local specific
controversies and complaints, here in America, of a few here, [ most
of whom are now part of this schism, except for those
who ran to the GOC] who have developed anger and unyielding unforgiving
ill-will towards Vladyka Metropolitan Agafangel.
They WILL NOT forgive the Metropolitan nor
seriously attempt to make peace with him! What kind of Christians are they!?..especially those who are priests.
And
too, I am very aware of modern dictator, Stalin idolizer Vladimir
Putin's propaganda machine's lies against the Ukrainians and his
unjust and immoral unprovoked
war against Ukraine, and of his other major mass-murdering crimes
against the common people of Syria.
Putin with his bloody pal, Assad, are the mass-butchers of the Syrian people: men, women, old and young and babies.
Vadim
Yarmolenits, apparently suggests that our church should support Putin
in this?...and that Vl. Agafangel is somehow an American agent, because
he does not adore
Putin?
Anyone
who supports Putin in these matters is a godless atheist and can not
possibly be any sort of A CHRISTAIN! but is of the Devil.
Putin serves Satan, and so do those who support Putin.
And,
I am also aware of what various 'polls' claim that, 'most Russians'
world-wide support Putin and what all he is doing....in 'restoring the
national honour and
pride of the Russian nation and people"....even as he praises Joseph
Stalin and openly wants to return Russia to its 'glorious soviet
era glory'.
How
shameful this is of the Russian people!.. and a spitting on all the
Holy New Martyrs! Thank God, that many Russian dissidents do not support
him.
I am one with those righteous Russians!...but with none who love Putin.
And too, I am a believer
in TRUTH and in a God of TRUTH, as both an Orthodox Christian and as a
loyal American, and one who firmly has always
been anti-communist, and anti-neo-soviet too, and a believer that
every people has a right to self-determination and to be a free nation.
Thus, I totally support Ukraine's right to its independence, now, as
past history means nothing.
The Ukrainian people, in
'Maidan', had a natural human right to demonstrate and to overthrow and
oust soviet hangover Putin puppet Victor Yanukovich and drive him out
of Ukraine. GLORY TO GOD!
It seems that these
miserable yet smiling contented wise Mountain View schismatics, on the
property of Yuri Lukin, [ he being himself a big organizer of this
schism] in our midst, are sympathetic to and really
support Vladimir Putin, and that THAT is the underlying true central reason
that they hate and detest and defame Vladyka Agafangel, [ whom they
label a 'pro-Ukrainian Kiev-Nazi'] & whom they depict as if he were
[almost] the devil himself!...while
all of those, offended ones by his dictatorial commands.... some of whom they name,
whom they claim, he has offended or wronged, or
injured or unjustly miss-treated are...ALL 100% INNOCENT ANGELS (!)
....HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??? That none of them deserved to be banned
or defrocked or reprimanded?
I highly suspect that Vl. Agafangel has had
to remove from our church many miscreants, [ which is the bishop's duty
and burden and right so to do-AND HE KNOWS WHAT ARE THE LIMITS OF HIS
CANONICAL RIGHTS!]
even as now, he MUST also do with these despicable schismatics, dupes
and puppets of the KGB controlled MP and the Kremlin...whether all of
them realize it, or not.
*And
a side note: NO ONE is as good experts in knowing all of our canon laws
as the Kremlin KGB folks, and how to use them to CAPTURE & ENSLAVE
& WEAKEN AND DESTROY OUR
CHURCH. Sofrony Musienko appears to be just such a
destructive-'canon-law-expert'/ manipulator of our canons. TO HARM our church!
How many canons, has HE violated? What a tragedy that he and Andronik were made bishops!
I cannot ever support,
anti-American and anti-Christian and immoral mass bloody murderer KGB
Vladimir Putin's still enslaved 'Russian Federation'.
It is an enemy country to my America.
May God grant that, before
Putin causes World War III, a genuinely free & peaceful and
prosperous Russian nation will come into existence, for ALL people
there, & that Russia will one day emerge, a nation wholly
cleansed from its aggressive and war-loving godless communist-inspired
soviet history and culture....a curse on all of mankind and on all
human history.
However,. this present evil world is more likely to end, before such a dream can become reality.
A world-wide nuclear holocaust is coming, triggered by 'the sincere Orthodox Christian', Vladmir Vladimirovich Putin.
God is going to punish all who follow him, just as He did with Hitler's Nazi Germany.
SO, under all of these
assorted circumstances, I MUST whole-heartedly continue my loyalty to
and support of our Vladyka Metropolitan Agafangel, and I reject all of
his attackers and foes.
We
need to carefully examine THEIR arrogant pride-filled characters and
THEIR hidden true motives, not just read and swallow their
pious-sounding and self-righteous/judgmental
claptrap verbage.
And that is not my saying that I believe that Vladyka Agafangel does not have some
or any...human flaws or that he has not made some errors of
judgement, etc. NO, he is not 'perfect' in that way. He himself does not
claim that.
His critics want him to
always say 'yes', and to always give in, to surrender to any and all of
their demands. That I can see, clearly!
That is a manifestation of
Sergianism, what the Moscow Patriarchy is all about, and of all in
communion with that false-front KGB ruled organization.
But, we have NO continued Russian Orthodox Church Abroad...without him. HE MUST BE A STRONG LEADER, not a softy.
Even with his personality quirks, he is the best leader that our church has been sent by God, or can be still now.
***Which of these
church-wrecking and soul killing 'bishops' or would-be, sell-out-to
Moscow, bishops, at this schismatic meeting, could do better, to replace Vl. Agafangel, or that we dare trust? to head and to lead our church? NONE!
None of them can hold a candle to Vladyka Agafangel!
Yet to these rebels, Vl. Agafangel can do nothing
good! To V. Putin or MP-Pat. Kyrill-Gundaev or Hillarion Kapral, he can do no good!
All of these, including these Mt. View Schismatics, want him gone. It seems to be their joint effort.
These rebels are provocateurs and wolves in sheep's clothing. Flee them!

Everiss in Oregon, an American and an Orthodox Christian, and as one
who is hoping for a free Ukraine and a free Russia.
These pathetic destroyers
of our church, we all need to flee from, even as they curse our church's
head shepherd and hierarch and thus, us.
May Almighty God! Grant Many Years! Mnogaya Leta! to our honorable Vladyka Metropolitan Agafangel
and to all of our loyal ROCA Holy Synod and to all loyal Members of our ROCA Church! AXIOS! AXIOS! AXIOS!
