    I am not sure this belongs in this section, but I have been advised by a Catholic friend in Moscow, Russia that a friend of hers, a holy old Russian Orthodox priest, a true Confessor of the Faith who had been held by the Communists because of his Faith for a number of years, has been murdered yesterday. My friend says the murderer was either insane, a satanist, or both. She asks our prayers for his soul. I told her that I am not sure that he needs them, but would honor her request.


    This poster at Bellarmine Forums calls a schismatic orthodox priest "holy" and a "true Confessor of the Faith" and also in other posts acts as if there is no difference between the Orthodox and Catholics, just like the heretics in the Novus Ordo, who say the Orthodox do not need to convert. I was surprised to see this on Bellarmine forums.

    I would have commented there, but I do not have an account there.

    R.I.P.
    Please pray for the repose of my soul.

  • It takes about 40 seconds to open up an account there. Sounds like you need to do that and go over and provide your superior knowledge to the big boys.

    I do not have superior knowledge to the posters at bellarmine forums. Some of them are quite learned and when I read there it usually goes far above my head. I just happened to notice that one of their posters made a surprising Novus Ordo style error.

  • Sorry, Matto, I was perhaps a bit snippy sounding in my answer. (Rough night).  I just thought if it was a going conversation over there it didn't to happen here too.

    In reading the whole thread I think the OP backed-off a bit and probably was coming around to your way of thinking

    Unless it changed recently, I thought Bellarmine required somewhat of a trad bio and approval by Mr. Lane.  Suitable for weeding out trolls and keeping the discussion serious, but takes a bit more than 40 seconds.  :)
    "Be kind; do not seek the malicious satisfaction of having discovered an additional enemy to the Church... And, above all, be scrupulously truthful. To all, friends and foes alike, give that serious attention which does not misrepresent any opinion, does not distort any statement, does not mutilate any quotation. We need not fear to serve the cause of Christ less efficiently by putting on His spirit". (Vermeersch, 1913).

    Thank you for your apology, but don't worry, no offense was taken.

  • Mr. Ken Gordon sometimes does not know what he says, I am sure that he did not imply that the Orthodox are truly Catholic. Or maybe he converted from being an old Russian believer to the Catholic faith?

    I disagree with a lot of his views but I would presume based on what he mostly writes that he has the faith. Although he seems to believe in a hidden true Pope thesis, so there you have it. Pray that one day he actually stops to realize how that position is quite simply untenable... It is not even Sedevacantism but a pseudo-sedeplenism.  Bellarmine Forum you can learn a lot from over there, I would definitely recommend certain post very informative. There are quite a few sedeplenist over there (that was including myself for a long time).

    Mr. Lane's magisterial rule is quite charitable  :cowboy:

    Yes for people that usually don't have as much time to keep with so much new post it certainly helps to a great extent to have a place that has more mature people that post, without having all the trolls ruining it for everyone.
