Blessing killers at a killers’ convention is not saving them.
We’ll see what Elpi has to say. I doubt that he will bless baby-killing!
At the last Dim convention, the Dims booed God Himself. They may just ignore any invocation and benedictions from clergy this time, or curse them, either in private or in public!! But the ministry of these clergy might just “save a few”. Who knows?
I’m following this whole issue on a conservative Orthodox (and Greek-background) website, http://www.monomakhos.com
