Because it is the Church of Christ.
Satan doesn't need to mock the others. Excellent answer! Peace, Deacon Richard

By whose fruits you shall know whom? I read enough of your posts Alexandr to wonder if you are proving a point or demonstrating concearn. The title of this thread seems to say it all.

If the bishop is Communing "The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" then he is displaying his fruits.

Alexandr I am doing the same. When it comes to beating that horse, any stick will do. Don't curl your toes too hard on this one.

Bravo Alex! I remember that avatar from awhile back. I seriously feel sorry for all Greek Catholics. They are in communion with this twisted church.

I seriously doubt this exists anywhere in the Orthodox world. The antimens would be yanked off the altar by the bishop in a heartbeat!!! Oh wait! That was a "Bishop" giving them communion! Hospodi Pomiluj!

Rhetorically, I ask: why are these people trying to hijack the Catholic Church with their very non-Catholic views? Why not just join a Church (like the United Church of Christ) which recognizes . . . this sort of thing. Because they are basically pathologically immature children at heart, who are rebelling against the authority of the parent; in this case, the parent is the moral codes of the Roman Catholic Church. Alice, you hit the nail directly on the head ! Well said ! -- John

It could be that the attitude what is much like is reflected by this cleric that is featured in this report that was on AP this morning might be the one this hierarch has?  In IC XC, Father Anthony+ Vatican Bars Gay Cleric After TV Program
VATICAN CITY - An Italian monsignor was suspended from his position at the Holy See after the cleric said in a television interview he "didn't feel he was sinning" by having sex with gay men, the Vatican and news reports said Saturday.
Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told journalists that while the case was under investigation the monsignor was suspended from his job as a top official in the Vatican's Congregation for Clergy, an office which aims to ensure proper conduct by priests.
"The case is being handled with utmost reserve," Lombardi said.
A private Italian TV network earlier this month broadcast a program in which some priests were interviewed about their homosexuality, which Vatican teaching holds is a sin.
The men, including the monsignor who was suspended, were interviewed with their faces obscured and their voices altered so they would not be recognized. But Vatican officials recognized the Vatican office in which he was being interviewed, Rome daily La Repubblica reported on Saturday.
The monsignor during the interview said he "didn't feel he was sinning" by having sex with gay men, La Repubblica said.
The Vatican did not name the monsignor, who is Italian.
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Bravo Alex! I remember that avatar from awhile back. I seriously feel sorry for all Greek Catholics. They are in communion with this twisted church. That "twisted church" was founded by Jesus Christ and his holy Apostles. You at least owe her a bit of respect, even if you are Orthodox.

I seriously doubt this exists anywhere in the Orthodox world. The antimens would be yanked off the altar by the bishop in a heartbeat!!! Oh wait! That was a "Bishop" giving them communion! Hospodi Pomiluj! THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO DO NOT POST HERE ANYMORE EXACTLY BECAUSE OF STATEMENTS LIKE THAT. SATAN IS ALIVE AND HE IS ACTIVE - JUST LOOK AT HIS TRYING TO DESTROY THE SOUL OF MAN - EVEN WITHIN THE CHURCH, BECAUSE THEY ARE HUMAN. IT IS TRULY SAD THAT THE HEIRARCHY HAS ALLOWED IT! BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE WHOLE CHURCH IS BAD. IF YOU AS ORTHODOX CAN STAND AND BEAT YOUR BREAST - THEN I SAY TO YOU, YOU ARE JUST AS BAD AS THE PHARISEE LUKE 18:

He then addressed this parable to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.
10 "Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity--greedy, dishonest, adulterous--or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' 13 But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, 'O God, be merciful to me a sinner.' 14
I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted."I am Catholic, and I believe that you are saying that I am like that.

To all, I should have said twisted "people" instead of twisted "church". I realize that the majority of Catholics don't behave like these people. As a former Catholic myself, please accept my apology.
