BTW Yushchenko is not Ukrainian Orthodox -- he belongs to that self-styled "church" by that name. There is a genuine Ukrainian Orthodox Church and he (and his wife, who is Uk-Canadian) does not belong to it.

The BS from the TROLL keeps on comin'.

I just read on a web site for a Church called the Orthodox Church in America that they do not have a Patriarch to head their church but they are part of the Eastern Orthodox Church like the Greeks and the Russians.

This is off topic but how does a country get a Patriarch for its Church. American is a young country as opposed to the age of Russia or Greece.... so, how does a country the size of the USA not have a Patriarch.

Thanks, your comments about your Church piqued my interest.

It is clear you mean the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Kiev which sucks up to the church in Mockba - the Orthodox church that is fully immersed in Soviet style politics and the Orthodox church that had the nerve to preach whom to vote for in the last Uke election.

The Autocephalous Ukrainian Orthodox Church is the one you despise - and its the one that Stalin tried to crush, too.

You are showing your stripes. Get off our website.

Yukoshenko's wife is actually a former American citizen and worked in Reagan's Administration. This was actually a campaign liability. (Although, I thought it was a plus!)
