To spit on a parish’s customs… now, that’s BENEATH the salt

Someone on the OCA Metropolitan Council said that Mark Maymon told a parish not to greet him with bread and salt, as that’s not his custom. The people no longer matter.
Mark Maymon is a disobedient and opinionated parvenu who doesn’t belong as a ruling bishop. Do remember how he spat on the late Philip Saliba’s orders. He’s a nasty legacy of JP… he should never have become ruling bishop of a diocese heavy in old ethnic parishes. Let’s keep it simple… Maymon should realise that he’s the bishop of people who consider themselves Russian Orthodox or he should resign, if he doesn’t like our customs. Why did he settle amongst a group that’s primarily Russian in identity if he doesn’t like Russian culture and customs? This is truly too much. There is NO such thing as “American Orthodoxy”… a discarnate will o’ the wisp that doesn’t even go bump in the night. If he wants that, well, he should leave the Diocese of Eastern PA, as that’s full of old-time old-school Rusin parishes with real coalmine and steelmill roots. Some of the konvertsy are too much. They should realise that our customs aren’t up for negotiation. To them, we’re just ignorant little Slavs who’re to be condescended to by superior Anglo-Saxons, I guess. I have to walk away from this one… if he said such gnarly rubbish, Maymon deserves a Cossack horsewhipping…

That’s true. That’s why any coming civil war will be bloody. The UPA showed its true colours during the VOV and in the immediate postwar years. The present-day Svoboda and Right Sector terrorists are their drooling descendents. I fear that the place with the most bloodshed will be the Lvovshchina. The fascists will demand lockstep conformity… and will kill those who won’t give it. Their great-grandpas harassed the Rusin Russophiles in World War I (and packed them off to the death camp at Talerhof). Their grandpas fought for the Nazis, massacred Poles, and helped in the Holocaust. Their fathers had to lie low… not only was the KGB active, most of the people in the Lvovshchina wanted no troubles and liked a peaceful life. The sons believe that they have the right to create a “Ukraine” in their own image… and they WILL kill all those who oppose them. Here’s the scary part… if they thought that they were going down to defeat, they’d think nothing of blowing one of the Dnepr dams or even the containment vessels at Chernobyl. That’s how evil the fascists are.
Evil is afoot in the Ukraine… and the USA abets it. Think on that…
