Editor’s Foreword:
Here’s one event as reported by two different sources… the first is the official MP website, patriarchia.ru, it appears to be from the official patriarchal communications service, not the Blunder’s fib factory in Bolshaya Ordynka. The second is from the website of the OCA Representation in Moscow (obviously penned by Zacchaeus Wood). DO note the differences.

Metropolitan Hilarion Kapral of New York and Eastern America, the First Hierarch of the ROCOR; Archbishop Yustinian Ovchinnikov of Naro-Fominsk, the Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA; Bishop Jerome Shaw of Manhattan (ROCOR); Archpriest Igor Vyzhanov, representative of the VRNS to the UN; and other Russian Orthodox clergy, joined Metropolitan Kryštof in serving.

Did El Gordo tell his buddies about his lies about his “leave”… take a look at Seraphim Gan (he’s a First Family apparatchik)… he looks downright SHIFTY. This has the reeking ordure of something cooked up hastily by the Blunder… don’t forget, he went to Prague immediately after going to the USA. No doubt, it was to arrange this soirée for his pal Fathausen. By the way, Mr Wood… if you try to get me to remove this image, I’ll tell sources that’ll go straight to the Winnipeg magistrate… it would deep-six your confrère Storheim for sure.

Metropolitan Kryštof Pulec of Czechia and Slovakia visits New York
On Sunday evening, 27 February 2011, Metropolitan Kryštof Pulec of Prague, the First Hierarch of the Church of Czechia and Slovakia visited two Orthodox churches in Manhattan (New York City). First, Metropolitan Kryštof arrived at St Nicholas the Wonderworker Cathedral where Archbishop Yustinian Ovchinnikov of Naro-Fominsk, Administrator of the Patriarchal Parishes in the USA greeted him. Shortly afterwards, through the invitation of Archbishop Yustinian, with the blessing of Patriarch Kirill Gundyaev of Moscow and all the Russias, Metropolitan Jonas Paffhausen of all America and Canada (OCA) (sic) also arrived, to be a part of the official visit of the First Hierarch of the Church of Czechia and Slovakia. Archbishop Yustinian gave his guests a short tour of the cathedral, he explained to them the history of the parish, and, afterwards, he invited them to the Archbishop’s private quarters for an informal tea where the “two First Hierarchs of the Local Churches” (sic) {these are Mr Wood’s words in the original Russian… not mine: editor} and Archbishop Yustinian had a conversation on a wide range of topics of mutual concern.
That same evening, Metropolitans Kryštof and Jonas went to the Cathedral of the Sign and the Synodal Residence (ROCOR), where Metropolitan Hilarion Kapral of New York and Eastern America, the First Hierarch of the ROCOR, met them. He gave his guests a tour and short history of the cathedral, and they venerated the relics held there. After their visit in the cathedral, the “First Hierarchs of the Church of Czechia and Slovakia and the OCA” (sic) {again, these are Mr Wood’s usages: editor}, were invited to Metropolitan Hilarion’s residence for some refreshments. During this meeting, Metropolitan Kryštof formally invited Metropolitan Jonas to make an official visit to the Church of the Czechia and Slovakia in the near future, to bear witness to the unity that exists between these two Autocephalous Local Churches (sic). In addition to the hierarchs mentioned above, clergy of the MP, the Church of Czechia and Slovakia, the OCA, and the ROCOR also participated in the meeting.

NB:
I took the Russian version of the above as normative; where it differed from the English, I changed the text to reflect the Russian. In addition, I deep-sixed the illiterate, ignorant, and “over-precise” HOOMie konvertsy usages of Mr Wood… one NEVER puts a bishop’s name in all caps, save to indicate an actual signature on a real document (that’s a sign of a Boob First-Class). He’s flying in the face of usual journalistic practise in the Orthodox homelands. That’s what happens when konvertsy are jumped up far rapidly for their own good.

Editor’s Afterword:
As of 15.00 EST (23.00 MSK 20.00 UTC 12.00 PST), there’s no more info on patriarchia.ru on this. The MP official post doesn’t contain any information about any future “official” visit of JP to Czechia, nor does it call him a “First Hierarch”. You must take anything from Zacchaeus Wood warily… he’s an autocephalist fanatic who’s part of Stokoe’s secretive MC coterie. If it’s not reported on patriarchia.ru, it may very well be “spin” or outright falsehood. DO note that El Gordo wasn’t part of the Divine Liturgy earlier in the day… one wonders why (was it because he had to make his lying speech about his “leave” in an OCA church?). Of course, another reason that he wasn’t at the Liturgy is that Fathausen is hated throughout grounded American Orthodox circles, having support only from konvertsy, apparatchiki, and HOOMie cultists. Do take a GOOD look at Seraphim Gan… his shifty expression tells me that this session wasn’t quite on the up and square… I think that it was something ginned up by the Blunder’s faction behind KMG’s back.
By the way… if it was Sunday evening 27 February in NYC (after 18.00 EST), it would be after 02.00 MSK on Monday morning 28 February. This means one of three things:
- Zacchaeus Wood is an incompetent who put the wrong date on the post
- Zacchaeus Wood wrote this up before the occurrence, and forgot to change the date
- Zacchaeus Wood deliberately put a wrong date on the post to bolster Fathausen’s konvertsy fans
It’s a small point to be sure… but it shows that Mr Wood is either an incompetent placeholder, a negligent layabout, or a mendacious liar… or, is it all three? In any case, he’s a fanatical autocepahlist and a rock-hard member of the Blunder’s faction at the Centre, which makes his every utterance suspect and crook.
As they say… it’s NEVER boring covering the Orthodox beat in America.
