Oh the tales I could tell…
Pray tell, dear Joseph!
Please do.
..as I’ve said many times, EVERY church is co-opted/infiltrated by a group of people that are not really adherents to the traditional doctrine or worship of that specific church… With respect to Orthodoxy, the Ecumaniacal (as I like to call it) Patriarchate of Constantinople has for decades been putting out views of itself and its authority that are neo-papal (and hence un-Orthodox) in nature… it is reliant on Vatican financing, has been occupied on occasion by people strongly suspected of being members of secret societies, and additionally in recent years has been the recipient of state department funding. The position of the Orthodox Catholic Church has always been that the papacy and its claims has fostered innovations in doctrine and worship (see for example the response of the Orthodox Patriarchates to Pope Pius IX (who made himself infallible at Vatican I), to the addition of the filioque to the creed, the corruption of baptism, the replacement of (leavened) bread at communion with unleavened bread, communion under one kind, and so on: the response is here: http://orthodoxinfo.com/ecumenism/encyc_1848.aspx). You’ll note that the tone of the response is indicative of how Orthodoxy thinks of itself, i.e., it IS the Catholic Church, and views the Papacy and its claims as a kind of departure… or as Alexis Khomiakov put it, the “Pope is the first protestant.” Contrast this view with the statements recently made by the Patriarchs of Constantinople, and you get the idea. These are just the “big” issues, and there are many, many others whose details I am loathe to discuss publicly because the minutiae would be meaningless to most people. I hope that suffices.
Thank you for your honest reply. As a baptised Roman Catholic, I no longer can bring myself to attend any more masses in that Church. The rejection is so visceral and wrenching that I’m forced to ‘listen to my gut’ so to speak. Sadly, I miss the sacraments.
I fully understand… many, including me, are in the same boat
“There’s a new religion growing in our world.
A new Marxist faith.
A new Woke orthodoxy.
A new kind of Luciferian worship that is as old as sin and idolatry itself. ”

Joseph, thank you for this most informative explanation about the corruption at Orthodoxy’s highest offices.
I recall the shock of my Greek Orthodox friends when the Metropolitan Ieronymos of Thebes, leader of the Greek Orthodox Church, was elected.
https://infogalactic.com/info/Ieronymos_II_of_Athens
In 2016, a year after the tragic, unopposed and unstoppable invasion of Greece (and Europe) by Middle Easterners and by North & Sub-Saharan Africans, he did not excoriate this war against his own people. Instead, Copronymos Ieronymos flew to the island of Lesbos, where the autochthonous Greek population, their homes, churches and ancient Greek temples were overrun by violent and befouling multitudes.
He joined Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I and commie anti-Pope Francis at the Moria ”refugee” camp, Lesbos.
This unholy triad of clerics in name only, ignored petitions by the locals to urge the Greek government to intervene militarily. The rapes of children and women did not trouble them.
Before arriving at the camp, all three removed their pectoral crosses and all hieratic signs of office from their persons, prior to visiting the impromptu ”camps of the saints” (pace Jean Raspail). Afterwards, they wore again their pectoral crosses and posed for photo ops.

They did not wish to offend the delicate sensibilities of the newly ferried hordes who brandished the latest models of mobile phones and had somehow found the US$1,500 per person, per seat in the boats that took them to Europe. Most of them being fit young males of fighting age:
With Open Gates: The Forced Collective Suicide Of European Nations
What a disgrace! I cannot ‘like’ the article, but I certainly appreciate you posting it.
Just today, another one one here caught on fire and burned down almost completely:
https://www.irozhlas.cz/zpravy-domov/pozar-praha-kostel-sv-michala-zahrada-kinskych-hasici_2010281544_kro
Originally built in Ukraine in 17th century, in 1929 moved and re-built in Czechoslovakia. And now it is gone, the origin of the fire not explained so far.
Sickening. Thanks for the update, GW.
Barbarism, all this church and cathedral burning. Even the non-believer that I am can see that. I hope they rebuild it!
The Transformation of Europe as an Elite Project
“indigenous Europeans and their political and cultural institutions and identities are undergoing processes of erasure — stigmatisation, marginalisation, deprivation, and replacement — by mandated immigrationism, multiculturalism, and other methods of forced diversification, while resistance to their political and cultural marginalisation and demographic dispossession is criminalised.”

I lived in Western Europe for a few years in the early 2000s. Saw it for myself, and that was before 2015. Honestly, I don’t think any race or whatever is better than any other. But I do take real exception to the idea that it’s OK to try to denigrate and erase a nation’s culture on its own soil. But that’s the globalist plan.
Well, I can do without seeing a 35-meter statue of Klaus Schwab near the Circus Maximus in Rome… And so can the Italians, I imagine.
… Klaus Schwab Hmmmm. Oh yes, now I remember “We will paint any Abarth, Lancia, or Pagani for only 99 Lira.” No wait, that was Klaus Scheib.
