EDITOR’S NOTE: Whether you understand Greek or not, the opinion of Met.Makarios of Kenya, a man who has spent his life supporting poor African villagers, counts. “No government or Church can force vaccinations” he says… Pat. Batholomew, AB Elpidoktonos, and the rest of you, do you hear him?
I so like his beard too!
Met Makarios of Kenya is good people, glad he spoke out.
Most churches in America have organized as “501c3 tax-exempt religious organizations.” This is a fairly recent trend that has only been going on for about fifty years. Churches were only added to section 501c3 of the tax code in 1954. We can thank Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson for that. Johnson was no ally of the church. As part of his political agenda, Johnson had it in mind to silence the church and eliminate the significant influence the church had always had on shaping “public policy.”

Met. Makarios for Patriarch… frankly there’s many wonderful true holy men of orthodoxy that don’t come out of Istanbul who would do us proud.
WHY are we stuck with the lemons?
Easier to accept than stand for what is right. Risk is involved and people flock where their is safety and comfort. So they are flicking toward corruption rather than running from it!
