MP-''Metropolitan Nikodim",  Rotov, Remembered, with full honors,  by the Moscow Patriarchate-

with all of this great honor and high respect, for betrayer of the Orthodox faith, on behalf of  both his own KGB masters and to the Pope of Rome, [ and who shamefully died in communion with the Pope, and  at his feet] , 'Metropolitan' Nikodim Rotov, OF THRICE SORRY MEMORY.

Among his great achievements for the Kremlin, was his major part in engineering, ( over a ten year secret negotiation process, in the dark and behind closed doors], with priest Alexander Schmemann and the heads of the schismatic  Metropolia, [ now renamed as' The Orthodox Church in America' ] the 1970 betrayal of the North American  (Russian) Metropolia, to the communist controlled and run MP, in that 'autocephaly' submission, a great feat for the communists.

If the Russian communists could have  their communist... 'saints' ...then Nikodim Rotov certainly is one. But to recognize Nikodim Rotov, as...an Orthodox  real saint???...hardly!
He was the supreme Sergianist, at best, and a super betrayer of the faith. That is his true and pathetic legacy, forever.

They also highly respect the memory of Nikodim Rotov, and also of every MP other 'patriarch' and Bishop.
To These foolish OCA Ignorant Americans here, They will believe anything that the MP, their 'Mother church' Tells Them,
It is as if they all are permanently sleeping.
One of Their OCA Bishops, of Los Angeles, [ retired] Bp. Tikhon Fitzgerald recently told me
in an email, he speaking about all of these MP higher clergy, referring to them all,  Including Nikodim Rotov, as ' OF Blessed Memory ". I could not believe hIm, but  he was .. serious ,,. sadly .  What ignorance, what apostasy.
