Dear Friends,

I overreacted about the papal approval of one of our new bishops.

I had no right to question the patriarchal basis of our Church and I should not have given the impression that Rome will not ever recognize it.

I'm sensitive about it, but I should not have overreacted.

I apologise to Diak and the Crew of St Elias in Brampton for any and all offense given.

Alex

Dear Alex,

I read your responses on the thread "New Toronto Bishop" and didn't find anything offensive or even incorrect [you have been wrong at least once ].

Christ is Risen!

Andrew

Dear Alex:

You take too much upon yourself, you have nothing to apologize for.

All you are doing is providing the words to the thoughts of many.

I have never had any doubt of your belief or the trueness of your cause.

Patience, Patience.


Christ is Risen.

Dear Andrew and Jose,

Well, God bless you both, is all I can say . . .

Alex

Christos Voskrese!

Dohori Brat Oleksandr, there is no offence taken and no need to ever apologize for stating reality. I also don't think you overreacted. Reality sometimes is like stepping in something you would rather not step, in but you can't deny it is on your shoes .

I know you well enough to know where you are coming from and call you brother. We amongst the "virtual soglasie" need to stick together, you know!

Smertyu smert poprav.

Alex:

Christos Voskrese!

I'd much prefer you give us an "apologia" for your reaction rather than an expression of regret and a request for forgiveness.

In my opinion, the Byzantine Catholic Church could use a lot more men like you -- men who not only know and can articulate the truth but are passionate about achieving it.

Many years, Alex! Na mnohaja i blahaja l'ita!

In Christ,
Theophilos
