I might gather from your changed tag line that you support those who do not commemorate the Ecumenical Patriarch and believe he is Orthodox in name only.

"Why on earth would one be afraid to name the Orthodox Church to which one belongs?"

If anyone says anything these days, who knows? He could get thrown out of his home for exercising freedom of speech. Why, just look at what happened to the Russians on Mt. Athos. Thus my tagline. Today it's Esphigmenou. Tomorrow, it could be you. Just scroll up and read about the excommunication of a traditionalist minded layman to see what's happening to the Episcopalians. It's getting insane around here.

Speaking of interesting Celtic saints, did you know the ROCOR used to commemorate King Macbeth of Scotland on the Feast of our Lady's Dormition? Maybe they still do. It seems he was the last King of Scotland who might be considered Orthodox just as St. Harold II was the last one south of the Hadrian's Wall.

After 1066, the good old C of E really went down the tubes. I mean, when you have to put your cathedral inside of a fortress, you know you've got serious issues.
