Russia is backsliding, and the world is noticing...
see this bcc report:
In Russia,
not only do people not know what the future will hold,
they don't know what the past will hold.
The past in constantly changing.
Old Jordanville & old ROCOR were always aware of Russia's key role in the End Times.
St. Seraphim of Platina explained it to us in English:

This was his final writing to us, the last issue of the OW magazine that contained an original article he composed.

minute 2:00 of the bbc video what the people on the street say about Stalin
ReplyDelete- he was unfairly hated
- he's not the only one to blame for the Gulag
- nobody's perfect; there's good and bad in everyone
- a leader in difficult times has to make hard choices
In the Life of St. Seraphim of Sarov, by Archimandrite Lazarus Moore, p. 96, St. Seraphim, compares demonic attacks on different types of Orthodox: that laymen have the enemy everywhere with them — implying laymen barely fight the enemy at all. Monks in monasteries fight with evil powers as "with doves." But solitaries fight as "with lions and leopards."
This making excuses for Stalin reminds me of Abp. Averky's instruction "On Judging," Chapter 22: "Imaginary Christian love and forgiveness"

I'm reminded of Vladyka Agafangel's article about how MP Pat. Kirill blasphemously praises Putin, the murderer of Orthodox peoples in a speech he gave in thje Cathedral last year.
Vladyka included an English translation on "Internet Sobor" which Sbn. Nektarios posted also for us.
Metropolitan Agathangel on the Moscow Patriarchate: A Repeated Confirmation of Its Departure from the Church of Christ

Vladyka's comment on the Internet Sobor article says that everything that applies to the MP also applies to all of world-Orthdooxy of which ROCOR-MP is now a part. Poor, poor, poor ROCOR-MP.
Somehow we have to get over the false idea that it is a Christian thing to be nice to evil, to pretend it is ok -- "nobody is perfect!" and "we are all sinners" — so does that make Stalin ok because he calls himself human? Or does that make Putin ok because he calls himself Orthodox?
