MY COMMENTS WERE NOT PUBLISHED SO I REMOVED MY COMMENT FROM HIS DATABANK AND PUBLISHED THEM HERE. SEE NEXT POST FOR HIS REPLY AND MINE.
In an official sense the history of the OCA is at best murky and their claims largely unsubstantiated. The OCA officials offer a mere parody of true Orthodoxy in their claims. The very foundation of the expansion of the Russian Church beyond its borders violated what had always been clearly understood. The imperial czar’s drive for expansionism beyond its borders was no cause for the violation of cannon law. If we are to honestly explore who is making disparaging claims it is the OCA. Even the Russian Church received it Patriarchal status through coercion and now it appears that its illegitimate child seeks to do the same.
The OCA does not recognize the proper protocol and perspective and behaves like an unruly child. One could dismiss such outlandish behavior if church leaders where not actively seeking to diminish church tradition and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. The OCA is promoting heretical protocol and are founded by and are currently lead by schematics. The word heretic is so charged because it inflames the ego of individuals. Blinded by their own pride they forego the Truth for their own ambition. The call it hateful and wish to legislate and strong arm which opinions are heard or even spoken. Met. Jonah is a schismatic according to his own claims and direction of his jurisdiction. He is a leader of a splinter group who seeks yet again to incite his parishioners to protest and undermine the Holy Ecumenical Patriarchate.
