Click here for a story about Fr Alexander Atty resigning his posts at St T‘s. It’s cancer, and it’s not getting any better. Light a candle for Fr Alexander this Sunday and ask your priest to mention his name during Proskomidi… that’s what Christians do, after all. It’s that serious…

Fr Alexander Atty of STS, who’s very well-known in Orthodox circles here in the Northeast, is too weak from cancer to serve liturgy. Keep him in your prayers, light a candle for him, and ask your priest to mention his name at the Proskomidi. He’s a real lion…

One of the Cabinet told me that Fr Constantine at St Tikhon Monastery in South Canaan PA took a tumble and broke a few bones. It’s not serious or life-threatening, though. Do light a candle for him when you go to liturgy this Sunday and keep him in your prayers…

One of the Cabinet whispered to me:
Mollard met with Bishop Mel and Maymon at STS in re transition. Plan is for Mollard to move next month to Syosset and Maymon to move to STS. There’s talk of merging Diocese of Eastern PA and Western PA into one diocese with Mel as Ruling Bishop.
It’s business as usual for Syosset, SVS, and oca.org… you’re all mushrooms, kids… they’re keeping you in the dark and feeding you shit (when they’re feeding you anything at all). Maymon doesn’t belong at STS… he doesn’t belong in the Valley… he doesn’t fit there. Merger of the PA dioceses is due to two factors:
Stokoe coming out the way he did is proof that Lyonyo’s moving fast. SOMETHING’S got him spooked. That means that he’ll make a mistake or two, and Mollard isn’t bright enough or gritty enough to put them right. At most, the honeymoon will last until the Memorial Day Pilgrimage, although there’s sign of considerable fraying already (NOBODY’S enthused about Mollard… there’s a whole lot of apathy out there). If Mollard concelebrates with his sugar-daddy patron Herman Swaiko at the Pilgrimage, it’s all over. Never forget, Herman pushed Mollard forward, he was the main force behind Mollard’s advancement… although I’d say that he did so rather too quickly. Of course, if Mollard also serves with Feodosy Lazor and JP at the Pilgrimage, it’s all over. Mind you, his house of cards wouldn’t collapse immediately, but it’d destroy his cred permanently (much as Peterson’s DUI arrest and Moriak’s morals charge have deprived them of any credibility for all time).
In short, it looks like this lash-up is in the deep kimchi but good. Stokoe’s back as Lyonyo’s faithful lapdog… Tosi’s still trying to muzzle people… Behr and Herbel are still trying to stuff the real past down the memory hole. Jillions is pretending that everything’s fine… and everyone’s wondering what’s up between Lyonyo and Bobby… that’s what’s going to determine how the chips fall. Lyonyo’s behind Mollard… Bobby, I think, will try to resurrect JP (and use Rod Dreher as his mouthpiece). It bids fair to be “interesting”… God do help us.
