| Înaltpreasfinţia Sa [Nicolae], a deschis sesiunea cu câteva reflecţii duhovniceşti ale PS Policarp Moruşca şi subliniind cum aceste gânduri rămân şi astăzi valabile. Acest Congres a sărbătorit şi 75 de ani de la intronizarea PS Policarp ca prim episcop al românilor din America la 4 iulie 1935…
…Congresul a început vineri dimineaţa cu săvârşirea Sfintei Liturghii prin co-liturghisirea în Catedrala Sfinții Împărați Constantin și Elena… S-a cântat apoi ”Veșnică pomenire” pentru vrednicii de amintire, Episcopul Policarp, Episcopul Andrei și Arhiepiscopul Victorin … … Atât IPS Nicolae cât şi PS Ioan Casian au împărtăşit apoi gânduri cu privire la Adunarea Episcopilor Canonici din America de Nord şi Centrală, desfășurată la New York între 25-28 mai 2010… … Părintele Nicholas Apostola a prezentat situaţia privitoare la dialogul cu Episcopia Ortodoxă Română de la Vatra. Dânsul a spus că de la ultimul Congres din 2008, Comisia de dialog a finalizat textul Propunerii pentru crearea Mitropoliei Ortodoxe Române, precum a fost cerut de către Congresul ROEA. De asemenea s-a răspuns şi întrebărilor primite de la ROEA cu privire la procesul “due diligence” având loc şi o întâlnire la Vatra în decembrie 2009. În martie 2009 a avut loc la Cleveland o întâlnire a celor două Consilii Eparhiale, întâlnire extrem de constructivă. Din păcate puţine progrese, mărturisea părintele Apostola, s-au făcut apoi către unitate. Arhiepiscopia noastră consideră că numai prin astfel de întâlniri dese cu participare largă, credincioşi şi preoţi din ambele episcopii deopotrivă, vor reuşi să se facă pași semnificativi spre unire… |

RUGACIUNEA SF. EFREMDoamne şi stăpâne al vieţii mele, duhul trândăviei, al grijii de multe, al iubirii de stăpânie, şi al grăirii în deşert nu mi-l da mie. Iară duhul curăţeniei, al gândului smerit, al răbdării şi al dragostei dăruieşte-l mie, slugii tale. Aşa, Doamne Împărate, dăruieşte-mi, ca să-mi văd greşalele mele, şi să nu osândesc pe fratele meu; că bine eşti cuvântat în vecii vecilor. Amin. TATAL NOSTRUTatăl nostru, Carele eşti în ceruri, Sfinţească-se numele Tău. Vie împărăţia Ta, fie voia Ta, precum în cer aşa şi pre pământ. Pâinea noastră cea de toate zilele Dă-ne-o nouă astăzi, şi ne iartă nouă greşelile noastre, precum şi noi iertăm greşiţilor noştri. Şi nu ne duce pe noi în ispită, Ci ne mântuieşte de cel rău. |

How can this “Archdiocese” continue to falsify history? Our Vatra Episcopate (ROEA) was established in the late 1920’s and solidified in 1935 with the appointment of our first Hierarch, Bishop Polycarp Morusca. Bucharest’s attempt to lay claim to the Vatra property and Morusca’s Episcopate in the early 1950’s, landed up in court. As part of their positioning strategy, Fr. Andrei Moldovan was consecrated a Bishop in Communist Romania in 1950 and he soon returned claiming to be head of the Vatra. Communist Romania was desperate to maintain a political stranglehold on our Episcopate, the principle organization of Romanian - American/ Canadians since the early Cold War years. When Bishop Andrei Moldovan and Bucharest lost their US court battles in the early 1950’s, they had nothing left to do other than start up a competing Diocese under the Romanian Patriarchate, that political creation of the cold war now called the ROAA. It was and is destined to remain a minority church here. After Bishop Andrei came Archbishop Victorin Ursache and then the present day Archbishop Nicolae Condrea as head of the communist creation called the ROAA. After 1990, we all had hopes that the truth would finally emerge and that the ROAA would join the Vatra ROEA under the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). That has not yet happened. However, the lie continues and the ROAA is holding its 77th Congress [do the math 1950 – 2010 = 77 Communist years].
Afterwards “Memory Eternal” was sung for Bishop Policarp, AND Bishop Andrei and Archbishop Victorin, as if the last two had anything in common with the first Hierarch.
Archbishop Nicolae and Bishop Ioan Casian spoke of the Episcopal Assembly of the Canonical Orthodox Hierarchs of North and Central America, held in New York on May 25 - 28 2010. They did not say that these discussions amongst almost all Hierarchs in North America are focussed on the creation of unified and Autocephalous Orthodox Churches in the United States and Canada and have nothing in common with having the ROEA join under BOR in phyletistic or ethnic union that is non-canonical. The latter may have worked in 1990 but now every effort is on creating local autocephalous churches here in the United States and Canada, regrouping over time multi-ethnic jurisdictions (Greeks, Russians, Romanians, etc.) into local jurisdictional churches.
Fr. Apostola’s report regarding discussions with the ROEA is deceiving. How can he claim that the Joint Dialogue Commission has „completed the proposal for creation of the Romanian Orthodox Metropolitanate, as was requested by ROEA Congress”. The 2009 ROEA Congress allowed for discussions to continue inasmuch as Due Diligence was being done. What we now have is a proposal that is sometimes different and certainly less demanding of BOR- ROAA than the one presented originally to the ROEA Congress, and it now includes explanatory notes that are often confusing. Due Diligence is at a standstill in that, contrary to what Fr. Apostola declares, responses to basic and elementary questions have not been answered to the satisfaction of the ROEA’s Due Diligence committees. More complicated questions have been prepared but probably will not to be sent until adequate responses to the first questions are completed. The meeting in Cleveland of the two Diocesan Councils in March 2009, referred to as “constructive” by Fr. Apostola was, according to some ROEA members present, frigid at best and insulting at worse, highlighting their lack of trust, all of which contributes to making progress very difficult. ROEA politeness should not be mistaken for acquiescence or lack of resolve. Fr. Apostola and the ROAA will have to present convincing answers to ROEA Due Diligence questions and then the topic of unity under the OCA will resurface, since abandoning the Orthodox Church in America - OCA is like leaving the present and the future, in order to return to the past under BOR, while we live here, have children here, in the United States and Canada, our home. What sense does that make for our children and grandchildren if we want them to retain our Orthodoxy? NONE.

Can I ask, where do you get all your information? Are you part of the dialoque commission? Were you at the March 2009 meeting? You are feeding people false information. Everyone is wrong….the ROAA, BOR, even our dioloque commission. You are the only person that is right. Unless you can provide proof for everything you post here….for every comment…..stop posting lies! Sir, you should be careful what you say. Because this the church. You are not a priest. You are not a monk. You are a simple laymen who likes to stick your nose everywhere and make yourself seem important. You are not an athority of the church, and are causing problems by feeding people false information.

Toma, if something is on this website, rest assured that it has been verified. The well-trained BOR and ROAA communication experts do enough lying on their own … they don’t need any help from political neophytes such as ourselves at roeanews.info. Being a priest or a monk is not the issue here. Getting to the bottom of things is our goal, and as such, we attempt to unearth the true motivations behind ROAA-BOR pressures to have us in the Vatra-ROEA abandon the OCA, only to go under foreign BOR. We attempt to find out why, supposedly faithful ROEA members, would contravene their oath of upholding the ROEA Constitution where it is made clear that we (clergy and faithful) are all OCA members. There are plenty of people on the other side spreading falsehoods, not to mention those BOR implants within the ROEA who do likewise… WE DO NOT HAVE THEIR TRAINING AND NOR DO WE APPROVE OF THEIR TACTICS. WE ARE CERTAINLY NOT LIKE THEM!

You do not have theological training. Thats true! When you get that theological training, then we can sit at the round table and have a discussion. Until then, keep you lies and opinions to yourself, and join the protestant church, where there are many like you, without a theological education.

Toma, you are so predictable. The moment you have no argument, you begin to insult and denigrate those you disagree with. Instead, why not try to develop a logic that is possibly defensible, or at least understandable? How can you contribute to a solution with your insulting approach?

An insult is often the truth. And the truth is better than an argument!

INSULTS ARE INSULTS! They are the disgusting and hurtful machinations of those incapable of reasoned logic. Keep your insults to yourself!
