XB!

Mr Horvath,

I don't recall being disrespectful of the priesthood of any particular priest on the forum, not unless disagreeing with a priest's positions on matters clearly set forth in the Typion counts as disrespect. I *did* ask his blessing at the beginning of my posts, and that particular posture does remind me not to be nasty. If there is anything wrong in what I have said, point it out. Otherwise...

===

Caro Administratore,

Pace! I was being over-the-top when I mentioned spitting on graves. I certainly would not spit or jump on the late Abp Elko's grave. However, I must point out that it was not I who first petulantly brought up the matter of jumping on anybody's graves.

===

So here I submit an apology to my Ruthenian brethren and sistren for having been extremely unkind in speaking of a hierarch of theirs, whom I now realise many respect greatly even if they didn't agree with all of his actions. I earnestly repent of those hurtful words.

In reparation, I shall go say the 7 Penitential Psalms for myself and the Trisagion prayers for Archbishop Nicholas Elko - I believe that should go further than anything I can say on this forum.

On the subject of "reponsibility" "respect for the Typicon"" vs. lack thereof...

here is interesting portion of a very recent, timely post from an Orthodox priest on Cineast:

"...Here are two informative articles which suggest that part of the genius of the Eastern Church which should not be lessened or dismissed is a capacity for liturgical development, adaptation, and indeed, reform. It would be a tragedy if Eastern Catholics thought to express their fidelity to Orthodox doctrine by emulating the "super-Orthodox" in their undiscerning zeal for the monastic typikon.

Edward if you go back to your post to Father Michael you will see plenty of sarcasm and sterotype that is disrespectful not only to Father but to all Ruthenians. I am at least glad that you have withdrawn your remarks about Bishop Elko.
