“Two words......first word......rhymes with “meek”..........sqeak........no.......beak.....no........Greek.....yes, yes!!!..........Greek, Greek.........second word.........begins with “O”........Obama......Greek Obama.........no, no............Greek Orthodox!!”

One of the great concerns of Orthodox Christians from all over the world regarding a reunion with Rome is the extent to which politics has infected the (at least to our eyes) very powerful American Church. Your comment reinforces the notion that the American Church really is more about secular politics, whether of the left or the right, than about Christian theosis.

LOL.............the American Church which cut Teddy Kennedy and his fellow travelers so much slack and let them get away with ....*cough, gasp*.....murder for so long without so much as a murmur?

Is.......*splutter*.........too involved in secular politics??

That American Church???

What an absolute knee-slapping, side-splitting statement!!

Should the Church not be involved with the abortion issue at all, in your view?
