Incardination and Conferral of Offikia within the Archdiocese of America

In his sacred responsibility as described in the Charter of our Sacred Archdiocese, and in his pastoral oversight and fatherly care, Archbishop Elpidophoros of America has approved the incardination of Presbyter Sebastian Carnazzo, whom he assigned to serve as a part-time priest in the Holy Metropolis of San Francisco.

In his sacred responsibility as described in the Charter of our Sacred Archdiocese, and in his pastoral oversight and fatherly care, His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America has approved the following incardination:

Rev. Presbyter Sebastian Carnazzo, whom he assigned to serve as a part-time priest in the Holy Metropolis of San Francisco.
Στα πλαίσια της ευθύνης ως Αρχιποίμενος της Ιεράς ημών Αρχιεπισκοπής Αμερικής, όπως ορίζει το Σύνταγμα, με πατρική αγάπη, ο Σεβ. Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αμερικής κ. Ελπιδοφόρος ενέκρινε την εξής πρόσληψη:

Του Αιδεσιμολ. Πρεσβυτέρου κ. Σεβαστιανού Carnazzo, τον οποίο διόρισε ως κληρικό μερικής απασχολήσεως στην Ιερά Μητρόπολη Αγίου Φραγκίσκου.

It seems the more knowledgeable and Biblically grounded an Eastern Catholic is, the sooner they end up converting to Holy Orthodoxy. Hopefully Fr Carnazzo will write an article or make a video explaining his reasoning for becoming Orthodox. I think it would be edifying for both sides, even if it upsets some people.

"It seems the more knowledgeable and Biblically grounded an Eastern Catholic is, the sooner they end up converting to Holy Orthodoxy."

The same could be said for Orthodox who convert to Catholicism.

Like you, I'd love to hear his reasoning behind his conversion. If not edifying, it would at least be instructive.
