21 July 2015. Anti-Abortion Group Issues False Videos of Planned Parenthood… I Think It Best for the Church to Have NOTHING to do With the So-Called “Pro-Life Movement”

Sad to say, the American “Pro-Life” Movement has become conscienceless liars and cheats. Read this. NO, I’m NOT arguing for a “Pro-Choice” position… but I AM saying that there are limits that Christians can NOT cross. To issue lying and deceptive videos is indeed one such “red line”. Perhaps, the best way to handle this is for the Church to get out of the organised “Pro-Life” movement (which is mostly a stalking horse for viciously anti-life Republicans). We should concentrate our efforts on helping unwed mothers… that appears the most pressing sector to me. Let others make lying claims and shout and carry placards… we should help those in need, full stop. We should NOT march in rallies… we should NOT picket Planned Parenthood… we should help every unwed mother that we can, regardless of who or what they are.

That’s what Our Lord Christ would’ve done. I need say no more…

21 July 2015. It’s Time to End the Kangaroo Court Against Fr John Bohush and Remove Mark Maymon IMMEDIATELY

_______________________________

The best way to end l’affaire Bohush is to quash the bootless “spiritual court” against Fr John and to remove Maymon for having started it. Let’s not be coy. This isn’t what our parents in the Faith taught us! Archbishop Vitaly Maksimenko didn’t act like this! Bishop Kip didn’t act like this! Metropolitans Leonty and Afanassy didn’t act like this! Archbishop Averky Taushev didn’t act like this! Everybody knows how Vladyki Leonty and Vladyki Afanassy took care of problems… they had a sit-down and the problem was history, even before it caused any waves. Ask the folks in their 70s and 80s… they’ll tell you that I’m dealing the straight line here.

Real bishops know how to “bish”… well, Maymon proved TWICE that he doesn’t “have what it takes”. Firstly, he openly defied a direct order from his then-First Hierarch, Philip Saliba. Then, Fatso was dumb enough to bring him into the OCA. Now, Maymon instigated a witch-hunt against an innocent priest. He’s proven TWICE that he’s not episcopal timber. The OCA SOBs should remove this excuse for a bishop and apologise publicly to Fr John. I doubt that the above will happen. However, someone has to say it, and that’s my role in the Church discussion… to say things that others are too afraid to say or say things that priests/bishops can’t say because their position imposes certain limits on their public utterances.

JUSTICE for Fr John… and let justice be done on Maymon… what else is there to say?

21 July 2015. “Coup, Coup, What Happened to the Promised Coup?” Right Sector Uniate Nationalists Gather on Maidan… Bellow Forth Bootless Threats and Rants

______________________________

Well, the promised “coup” didn’t happen. Porky’s still capo di tutti capi of the junta. Yarosh came out and made windy threats… but Porky’s still in the driver’s seat. Reflect on this… a lot of the jabronies you see in the image deserted their units at the front to come and take part in this bootless affair. Great military discipline, huh? I certainly wouldn’t want any of these cowards at my back, no siree! They’re the sorts who can brutalise old folks and beat up kids, but when real-deal soldiers show up, they take to their heels.

This looks more like a funeral gathering than a pep rally… here’s the sad part for us… when the junta goes down the shitter, these snarky snakes will skedaddle off to Chicago and Edmonton, where the “Ukrainian Catholics” and “Ukrainian Orthodox” will treat them like heroes. The Motherland will be rid of them, but they’ll fuck up diaspora relations for the next generation or two. Bound Brook will hold banquets in their honour… just like the SS bunch that came after the VOV, these asshats will bring their hate and resentment with them… do have a care with such sorts. They’re violent… so, have as little as you can with certain groups, that way you won’t mistake the innocent for the guilty (and hurt someone who had nothing to do with it all) or vice versa (in which case, they’d hurt you, and have no scruples about it, either).

The times are evil… take EXTREME care… do NOT involve yourself in disputes with self-identified “Ukrainians”, it’s not worth it, and the result could be nasty. Let them be…
