All three "Romes" have been witness to great holiness and great sins. Let us not forget that.

Dear Andrew: There are only 2 "Romes!" The first was, still is, and will always be Rome, without the quotations!  Amado

Dear Amado, Moscow certainly does consider itself a "Third Rome." And Pope John Paul II DID refer to it as such early in his pontificate. I remember the commotion his comment caused among our people . . .  That's O.K. though! Alex

There's at least one Orthodox parish in Rome, New York. Wouldn't it be fun if it became the seat of an Orthodox Bishop?

My comment was intended only to be an inside joke! :p Frankly speaking though, the later 2 are mere pretenders. Amado

Dear Andrew, I was thinking about the "Rum Orthodox . . ." Sounds like my kind of Church! Rome can be such a kill-joy at times. Ooops. Sorry. Incognitus wants us to be serious . . . Alex

Sounds good to me, and certainly better than plum brandy. Andrew

Dear Andrew, You are of Serbian Orthodox background, are you? That's their idea of "afternoon tea!" Alex
