O heavenly King, O Comforter, the Spirit of Truth
who are in all places and fillest all things:
Treasury of good things and Giver of life:
Come and dwell in us and cleanse us from every stain,
and save our souls, O good One.
But he spoke loud and clear.
Rescued by whom? The Church doesn't save, Christ does.
Glad to see the truth be spoken.
“Churches embracing homosexuality”?
Morality?
Oh hell no.
There’s money top be made.
Here’s a sermon from Father Jason Kappanadze, who is a parish priest in Elmira Heights, NY:
http://www.holytrinityorthodoxchurch.org/pastor.html
It is good to see a priest of the OCA supporting the Russian Orthodox statement on homosexual-suppoting “churches”, especially in June, when so many cities will be “celebrating” “LGBT Pride Week”!!!!
ESPECIALLY in Russia, they know that you don’t embrace homosexuality. Homosexuality embraces you.
Now let’s see Pagan America learn that!!!!
If you don’t think we’ve gone pagan, see your local “Pride” parade. That is—if you can avoid the effects of extreme disgust!!!!
The Russian Orthodox Church might be more appealing... if it weren’t for the fact that the KGB originated as the “church”’s Oprichni Secret Police.

Ooopski!
I guess we're not supposed to notice that "homosexual-suppoting “churches”" are symptomatic of the KGB's strategicaly successful demoralization of the American McSheeple?
...?"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism."--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
B.S.!!!!!

We have enough American and European Gramscian Marxists around—working on us for DECADES—that there was no need for the old Soviet KGB to demoralize us. And homosexuality—as well as the destruction of the churches—has always been part of the Gramscian program.
Now these people are firmly entrenched in our State Department—among other places!!!!
Axios!
Is it B.S. that the KGB originated as the Oprichni secret police of the Russian Orthodox “church”?
NOPE.
You mean these Oprichniki?

Yes, they dressed in black monastic robes and attended long church services, but they were by no means real monks or even laity in good standing!
The founder of the modern Soviet “Oprichniki”, Felix Dzerzhinsky, was a Polish Catholic by background, who became an atheist communist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky
He was not Orthodox at all!
Here’s what REALLY happened between the Russian Orthodox Church and the original Oprichniki:
St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and Enlightener of All America, re-established the Church as independent from the government, which it had not been since Peter the Great:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_Tikhon_of_Moscow
Although St. Tikhon and the other early Russian saints in Alaska were instrumental in establishing the Orthodox Church in America, its people are not very Russian. Most are descendants of Carpatho-Russyn immigrants, or just plain American converts and their children.
Like most Russophobes, you are unwilling to admit that the world has experienced a “great reversal”, with Russia as a bastion of Christianity, and our poor America as a land and people misled by communists (obama, Ayers, Dohrn, etc.), atheists, “gays”, and banksters. And you know very little about the Orthodox Church.
We all need to wake up, if we are to recover as a free people!!!!
>>St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow and Enlightener of All America,
LOL.
What part of the Declaration of Independence did he write, Comrade?
No, these Oprichniki:
