AND, you sir, Tolstoy Farm/St. Sergius Church, Mark Kotlaroff,
choir-director son of
Archpriest Gregory Kotlaroff and nephew of Vl. Andronik Kotlaroff, and
all of your fellow miss guided church wreckers, in your pathetic and
unjustified Mt. View Schism,
which has made a total shambles of our former small North American ROCA, are
exactly in the group which Bishop Gregory here criticizes....which he
has tried to talk sense to, back in 2010, to bring them to their senses.
However, in fact since
the date of this epistle, you and your fellow rebels have become far
worse than those simply confused but largely innocent souls whom he
spoke to, back in 2010.
SHAME! on you all!
And
basically because you Mark Kotlaroff, PERSONALLY hate our lawful
Metropolitan Agafangel, and because you desire to found and run your own
private new religion- based
it appears, on your total and exclusive control of money and power, free
of any lawful episcopal oversight.
The
very title, [episcopos/bishop in English, means, the...
Over-seer"...the man appointed by Christ and consecrated/SET APART, by
His Church, to rule and run the life
of the earthly church.
The Orthodox Church life has never been run by the votes of the laity or lower clergy. It is a theocracy, not a democracy.
SUCH THINGS NO ONE CAN DO, what your schism has done, ....and....then.... still call themselves, "ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS!"
To
be Orthodox, one must respect, honor, and obey ones' lawful Bishop...,
a successor to the 12 Apostles who got their authority directly
from Christ Himself, [do you remember him?-Vl. Agafangel, the bishop
who consecrated your uncle, and made him a fellow bishop, in mutual
SOBORNOST, etc.] END OF STORY!
Further, do you actually imagine that you.... may.... do such outrageous things to/or with the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox
Faith, simply because you are Russian by blood?-that such is your
born-RIGHT?, i.e. that you may do with 'your' ancestral religion,
WHATEVER YOU WANT???
You
thus spit on all the Russian saints and martyrs, and indeed on all the
universal Orthodox saints and martyrs of all lands and all tribes
and all tongues.
And may God stop and
severely punish you, until you repent, for what you are doing, which is
nothing else than you rebels AIDING THE ENEMY, THE STILL COMMUNIST
CAPTIVE
Moscow Patriarchate, Stalin-founded organization, they who in fact serve antichrist and Satan.
Your poor blind and misguided laity, you are sending to Hell.
Nothing you do or say, is pious or Orthodox or legal by Sacred Orthodox Canons or Holy Tradition!
So what will be the glorious end product of your vicious and very very ignorant rebellion?
Your group is merely creating one more strange
though colorful and exotic, American-based cult, basically
Protestant in its center & in its governance, but
Russian-Orthodox-ish in its rituals and external forms....which is what
the MP is also all about-i.e. an institution pretending to be, The
Russian Orthodox Church and religion.
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO SUCH! NONE AT ALL!
Rather, what you need to do is to
repent, HEAL THIS Godless SCHISM, and fall to your knees in front of
Vladyka Agafangel, you only rightful Orthodox Bishop, and humbly accept
whatever penance he gives you.
Further:
Since it seems to any observer of your shenanigans, that the central
& main complaint that you all initially made against Metropolitan
Agafangel, [both behind his
back and semi-in front of his face] was that your Kotlaroff-family lead
group, in essence, wanted more local autonomy/hands-on control in the
routine running of this North American ROCA diocese,
its administration-including to
appoint or move priests around, AT YOUR WHIM, and with its monies and
properties, etc. its MATERIAL assets,
....and since the metropolitan was endeavoring to GIVE YOU
SUCH autonomy...as much as was or is possible within Orthodox church
canons or order,-though you all still had to be in ultimate SOBORNOST obedience
to our Synod of Bishops, but then your unbalanced uncle, Vl.
Andronik suddenly and unexpectedly backed out, AFTER he had agreed to
make peace with the Metropolitan....and indeed had SIGNED his name to
the agreement.....
How shameful and despicable! -At that point, I and many others totally lost all trust and respect for him....and those with him.
That was when a number of our clergy and parishes ran to the GOC for refuge. YOUR group caused
that defection.
WHO CAN TRUST YOU?
I highly suspect that you Sir, were directly and personally instrumental in misguiding your weak-willed and confused uncle. Is
that not so?
Truly,
Sir, it is as if you and your entire schismatic rabble, its leadership,
either never learned FROM YOUR BIRTH, basic Patristic/Catechism/Zakon
Boshie Orthodoxy at all, -specifically
that to be fully and truly Orthodox, we must honor and respect and OBEY
our lawful BISHOP!...unless that bishop apostasies from Orthodoxy, [as
what is the reality of the ROCOR/MP]....
WHICH Vl. Agafangel has never done!,.....but as those bishops and clergy
did in 2007 the Laurus Shkurla lead schismatics did do, and/or you have consciously rejected it, or that are indeed but witting or unwitting tools of Putin and his MP. Which is
it?
To
me, you are no better than the 2007 Judas sell-outs to the MP, but you
are just a further/later contingent...more division and
destruction of the anti-communist Russian diaspora.
And by the way, yes, I have forced myself to read all of your pathetic cooked-up & contrived twisting's of
your mostly miss-applied canons
and various sundry quotes from various saints, [which historic quotes
have zero to do with your criticism or imagined, 'crimes of the
metropolitan'], and your making up of false & very
exaggerated calumnies and malicious slanders against the person of the
Metropolitan,.... as too I have read all of the CRAP from those Ishevsk
pro-Putin and pro-MP traitors in Russia, WHO LEFT US, and I am amazed
that you think that all of us, whether we
have Russian or any other 'blood' in our veins, who have read that
baloney, actually believe it..
HAVE YOU NO SHAME!~???
DO YOU NOT, IN FACT, fully support blood-thirsty dictator Vladimir Putin?
Repent and ask forgiveness of our church, before you die!
Most sincerely,
Reader Daniel Everiss in Oregon, happy that I live so far from you,
but
who is now so deeply disappointed in you!...as I once was under the
delusion that you and I belonged to the same church, the same
jurisdiction,
and that we were, IN THE LOVE OF CHRIST, part of a cooperative team effort....and that we were fellow Orthodox Christians.
I
very! sadly now see, that I never knew you at all.
How and why have you changed, Mark?
You
seemed back then to be such a bright promising light in our North
American ROCA, such a deeply religious and dedicated church worker.
Now,
look what you have become, just another church-dissembler/destroyer,
which the Apostle Paul warns all believers to flee from,
to wall ourselves off from.
God is all truth, and He could never, ever, bless liars.
And spreading character assassination and slander and calumnies against any others, but most especially against a righteous bishop,
is the same as the sin of murder, which is a direct ticket to the fires of Hell.
Making schism- rending the seamless garment of Christ, His Body, is in itself, the same as re-crucifying Christ on His cross.
Every
new untrue and malicious attack you and your fellows make against
Metropolitan Agafangel and our ROCA Synod, is the same as you all
pounding more nails in Our Saviour's hands
and feet.
By vilifying others, those innocent of your accusations, you pollute and disgrace and vilify yourselves, in front of ....God.
You may fool many people, but HIM you can never fool.
GOD READS OUR HEARTS AND MINDS!
