Yeah it's not a straw man when I am telling you actual experiences but that's fine, Mark. Defend what isn't defensible.
Hey all! Time out! I erred in reporting an erroneous report in this tragic situation. I DID NOT intend, not should anyone, use this fire as an excuse to pile on each other. The reality is that the good Orthodox friends and neighbors of this Eastern Catholic parish have rallied and offered their prayers and support. Just as, I might add, the Ukrainian community in Brampton rallied around St.Elias and my Orthodox parish sent a monetary donation to the BCC parish in Danbury, CT whose building was destroyed in 2013.
Let's cut the sniping. It is unbecoming, especially this near to the Nativity.
