| It has become habitual for the Romanian (cleptocratic) Patriarchate and its publications to insult periodically, directly or indirectly, the “Vatra” Episcopate and its Hierarch.
On different occasions this habit was pointed out in the pages of the “Information Bulletin” as well as in other publications. A new insult was hurled toward the “Vatra” and its Hierarch in the December 10th, 2011 issue of “Lumina” the official newspaper of the said Patriarchate. (www.ziarullumina.ro 10 december 2011.) |

| The Romanian Orthodox Church promotes Romanianism and not Orthodoxy in her “Diaspora”.
In the Nov. 23 2011 edition of the Ziarul Lumina newspaper, an article appeared (please see the preceeding article on this website) where it is clearly obvious that the Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR) is more interested in promoting Romanianism in the “Diaspora” than Orthodoxy - its sacred role. The first words in that article are explicit: “…Father Ion Armasi’s [doctoral] work is the first scientific study which details aspects of the mission and Romanian pastoral care given at the global level…” As well, We see that Father Ion Armasi Vartan speaks with authority being: “…Patriarchal Counselor for foreign communities, in the Church interreligious relations sector of the Romanian Patriarchate… “ |

| Fr. Ion Armasi obtained the title of Doctor in Theology: The first doctoral thesis dedicated to Romanians of the Diaspora A public defence of a doctoral thesis, “Romanian Orthodox Church in the Diaspora: A short history and actual organization” took place … at … Bucharest’s Faculty of Orthodox Theology. It was presented by Fr. Ion Armasi Vartan, Patriarchal Counselor for foreign communities, in the Church interreligious relations sector of the Romanian Patriarchate… Unofficial translation of bold excerpts from a Romania article cited in its entirety on this site and found at : Source: www.ziarullumina.ro 23 november 2011 |

| This summer, in Ziarul Lumina, Adrian N. Petcu tells us that Bishop Policarp Morusca was “exiled in his own country…[because of] political considerations … from 1939 on, [and] after 1945… politics … would impose its abusive decisions upon the organization and operations of the Church…” Quite clear, emphatic and direct. Yet only 4 months later the author changes his stance. In a fall article in the same newspaper, Petcu announces that: “…in 1939 Bishop Policarp was kept in the homeland due to intrigues launched from America… [and] problems arose caused by certain priests who, lacking canonical responsibility, tried to influence the governance of the Episcopate…” Why this change, this about face? | |||

| As we approach the 79th Congress of the Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America (ROEA) to be held in Chicago, it might be useful to review what happened at the 2010 Cleveland Congress.Soon after that Congress the ROEA put out a Press Release on Oct. 4, 2010 (a copy is on this website) and OCANews.org put out a commentary regarding the Congress on Oct. 8, 2010 (a copy is on this website). Then on Oct. 18, 2010 the ROEA put out a Statement of Clarification (a copy is on this website) denouncing that which was on the Internet regarding the Congress. Since then, little has been written about the 2010 Congress. | |||

| Support for the Romanian Properties in Jerusalem and Jericho
At the Romanian Properties in Jericho the work in progress includes the painting of the second chapel altar as well as the construction of the pilgrim’s house for Romanian pilgrims to be called the “Good Samaritan”. Those hearing Patriarch Daniel’s appeal and wishing to support it may contribute financially to the Romanian Properties in Jerusalem and Jericho in order to complete the construction work and receive Romanian pilgrims.

| THE POLICY OF “FAIT ACCOMPLI” - IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR DIALOGUE WITH ROMANIA In my opinion the so called ‘dialogue” between the “Vatra” Episcopate and the ROAA (the contraption brought into existence by the Romanian communists at the beginning of the fifties of the previous century) is stalled or, anyhow, no information was provided regarding any “progress” by the instruments that should do that. |

PRAYER OF ST. EPHREMO Lord and Master of my life, leave me not with the spirit of laziness, of despair, of domination, or idle words. Rather, give me, your servant, the spirit of integrity, of humility, of patience, and of love. Thus, Lord, grant me the wisdom to see my own faults, and not condemn my brother; for You are blessed, now and forever. Amen. OUR FATHEROur Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. |
