Steve - "...if the Patriarch of Serbia still refers to Patriarch Bartholomew as His All Holiness, then that's good enough for me. If you want to correct Patriarch Porfirije of Serbia, then go ahead." I am sure he was trying to be kind. Reality may be something else. ===============

Afanassy, if the Patriarch of Serbia still refers to Patriarch Bartholomew as His All Holiness, then that's good enough for me. If you want to correct Patriarch Porfirije of Serbia, then go ahead.

Guys - - - It's nice that we can be loving and kind with best wishes to P. Bartholomew at this special time of year. But neither can he be let "off the hook". The damage by schism and arrogance that he has caused may be irreparable. Steve - He has not behaved in the manner of "All-Holiness". Gary - He has not merely "wreaked havoc": he has created the largest dissolution of church unity since 1054. Yes, I too pray that he can be healed, but not just from COVID... =============================

Wishing many years to His All-Holiness! May God protect and preserve him. Hopefully his symptoms will be very mild.

I pray for his recovery and that this is a wake-up call to stop wreaking havoc in God's Church.

I pray for the recovery of the Patriarch and pray that this is a wake up call to him that the vaccine does not save you.
