Virgin Mary said to appear to an American lover of foul language and bless opposition to ROCOR’s unity with the Church in Russia ....‘The vision’ is now given all kinds of interpretation by irreconcilable opponents of unity between the Russian Church Abroad and the Moscow Patriarchate, who see in this statement a sign of heavenly blessing given upon their further efforts.

Ping to what promises to be an interesting discussion.

Actually it will be a dull discussion. The Orthodox will, as I have, dismiss the vision as a lie, and the folks you pinged will impugn the veneration of the Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. The two 'sides' will talk past each other.

Quite frankly I regard pinging hostile protestants to an Orthodox thread as an act of hostility. I hope your confession, like the Orthodox Church, has a season devoted to repentence upcoming. If you have some manner of sacramental confession, you might want to mention this in your next confession. If not, do whatever one does in your tradition to repent.

Really this is only interesting as an Orthodox discussion (possibly as an inter Catholic-Orthodox one).

'ROCOR-V' folks are schismatics out of communion with Orthodoxy in general.

It'd be as productive as telling protestants that because David Karesh was a kook something meaningful about all protestants could be aledged.
