Here’s Tosi, grabbing the retired priest’s pittance… what a loser!
_______________________________
This has to be seen to be believed. I had to look at it twice… I know that Tosi’s an arrogant SOB and a known… ahem… “stretcher” of the truth, but this is LOW. Click here to read it. Look for the fee for “retired clergy and observers”. For those of you who want to see it right away:
The dinner will be open to all registered clergy and lay delegates, registered retired clergy, and registered observers. There is no fee for clergy and lay delegates, although there is a $50.00 (1,560 Roubles. 38 Euros. 31 UK Pounds) fee for retired clergy and observers.
Let’s repeat that… Tosi wants to charge RETIRED priests, on fixed incomes, fifty bucks a throw for nasty-ass rubber chicken… they won’t even get a drink out of the deal. This is brass balls, kids… to charge RETIRED priests that amount is sinful. Who do they think that they are? You’d think that they’d say, “Retired priests will eat free, as honoured guests of the Sobor“. That’s NOT the old-time down-home po-nashemu way… Bishop Job’s looking down from Heaven and he’s mad as hell. I always knew that this lot was crook and nasty… but this? There’s nothing left to say…
They call themselves Christians, gang, they truly do…

Got this from one of the Cabinet:
Interesting, if true. However, don’t forget, the late Georgian election didn’t make for a turnaround in Georgian policy towards Russia. Saakashvili had become an embarrassment to Langley, so, they put up an oligarch stooge to oppose him. I looked at the Russian news, and, sure enough, there was an important name missing from Ivanishvili‘s cabinet. Nino Burdzhanadze isn’t in the cabinet… that means that Ivanishvili is nothing but an American lickspittle, worse than Saakashvili was (no lie… the prick has French citizenship, dontcha know).
This means that the Georgian Church is becoming like the Phanar, an obsequious and obedient Stepin Fetchit for Langley. It’d explain how Fathausen got his hands on the money that he spent like a horny sailor in a jeepney on liberty in Po City. It’s a replay of the Cold War years, when Langley backed both Jordanville and SVS at the same bloody time (with Rodzianko and Potapov sticking in their thumbs and pulling out more than one plum, “Oh, what good boys are we!”).
It’s farcical, isn’t it? Yet, look at the GOOD side… it won’t endear Fathausen (who’s called “Johnnie” by a certain well-known son of a certain well-known priest) to Hilarion Kapral, that’s for certain… it’ll also piss off a bishop or two on the OCA Holy Synod. This wasn’t the brightest move in creation, but since when has JP been either prudent or insightful? He’s playing entirely according to character…
Give me the jug… it’s getting loonier by the day…
