UPDATED GRAMMATA ON THE MEANING OF CANONICAL AS OF JUNE 5 2018 A special Note from our Vladyka:
So you've come to this web site to learn about true American Orthodox Catholic Christianity, the root, ground and base of all things truly CHRISTIAN? What do you expect to find? Something about the Love of God in and through the Life and Teachings of Jesus Christ His ONLY begotten son?
I tell you truly, you will find His Love, but more importantly you will also find, and more of it, about Jesus Christ who chased the money changers out of His Father's House, the temple, which indicates the fact that true Christian Churches (TEMPLES) should not be passing "collection plates" during Divine Liturgy (Mass). You will find about His distaste and dislike for those who are modern day Sanhedrin and Pharisee... You will find about His Word concerning those who change the Word to suit their own personal agendas (Sanhedrin & Pharisaic types such as Baptists, Jehovah's Witness, Pentecostal, Mormon (known as the Church of Latter Day Saints, Church of Christ, the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church and much more)... Not all the sheep (members of their congregations) are to be blamed in exacerbating that which is to come; being the One World Church and One World Government... But their theologies are to be blamed, their ministers, pastors and some of their so-called look alike Priests ( Example: ...for many of them wear now (which they didn't before) the white collar as a means to foil you into believing a lie as a truth and truth into a lie))...
Jesus Christ said he came not to bring peace but a two-edge sword! Don't believe me, check you Bible, but be careful what version you are using for many there are who have changed the Word to suit their own aims and ends.
We are not an "Ethnic" jurisdiction which came overseas onto American soil! Even so, it would have to be the Russian Orthodox who have to be given preeminence if there is any jurisdiction who is to be first honored in respect to a patriarch. And, there is no true Patriarch in the U.S.A. for to do so, all the major five Patriarchates would have to assemble together, along with major Jurisdictions of the U.S.A. to elect such a Patriarch. It is from the Russian Orthodox Church from whom we have legitimately gained our autocephaly and autonomy by the Toma (Decree) of the now sainted +Tikhon of which we are inheritors... We are an American Orthodox Catholic Church having to bow to no patriarch but continue as a part of World Wide Orthodoxy...
We can keep quiet and tell you only of the LOVE of Jesus Christ! But we do not, only because we have entered into the END TIMES and silence is not an option any more for many are being led astray into the chasm or pit... A reflection for consideration.... needs to be read for understanding when considering a Church that is not afraid to stand up and speak out about spiritual and material truth without twisting words and facts! That would be the AMERICAN ORTHODOX CHURCH ...
We believe in and practice, according to our very nature and degree of ability, the ancient Holy inspired Seven Ecumenical Councils and Seals of the Confessional for which many clergy went to their deaths during the world wars and now are being sent to prison even here in the USA for false charges. And some are or have even been blackmailed and torched out of their premises/residence because they are not afraid to tell the truth and stand strong for their faith... Many a Judas have been found more in these times who are not truly Christian (follower of Jesus Christ in spirit and truth) who are the minions of Anti-Christ!
No longer can we follow in the foot steps of mainline churches for even St. John Maximovitch predicted that his own (Russian Orthodox Church) would fall into line with those who would be a part of that which is to come... and it has been proven to be a true prophesy...
For those who have ears to hear and eyes to see... you understand in your mind, your heart and very soul... for all others, let them stay blind for they shall walk with the blind and be led by the blind to fall into the pit!

"In Vain do they worship me; teaching as doctrine what is only precepts." [Matthew 15: 9] "Never, never, never let anyone tell you that, in order to be Orthodox, you must also be eastern. The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable liturgy is far older than any of her heresies." - Blessed St. John Maximovitch of Shanghai and San Francisco
The true Orthodox Church is the roots of all things CHRISTIAN and Catholic. It is large enough to accommodate various theologies that are not diametrically opposed to the faith and morals taught by the Apostolic Church. Unity in the Essentials, Liberty in differences and Charity in all things.
We cannot say enough but that we are indeed PROUD FRIEND OF ISRAEL

Until recently, most scholars agreed that Orthodox Christians didn’t really exist. Like werewolves, fairies and Romanians, they were simply a charming Old World fable designed to delight children with outlandish details regarding the rich, luxurious beards and interminable arguments about the proper interpretation of Greek or Latin words. Orthodox Christians are known by many national names so as to preserve the culture of the area they have been established in over the centuries from the time of Jesus Christ and His Holy Apostles. Orthodox Catholic Christianity and they are not a part of the various cultic Protestant groups who are the 'bastard' daughters of the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church. For it is true indeed that the very root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN is in Orthodox Catholic Christianity! It is indeed VERY TRUE when you are told that the very idea, word and term "Catholic" does not mean "Roman" for Catholicism itself came out of that which is called Orthodox Christianity upon which is founded, grounded and based the very Life and Teachings of Jesus and from which the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church schismed (separated) themselves from because they could not, would not and will not maintain all that they had initially inherited. The Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church separated (schismed in 1054 A.D.) because it could not and would not (persisting to this very day) in maintaining blasphemous ideas that they are right and all others are wrong, such as a Pope (Bishop) who is the only one who can and does speak for Jesus Christ by holding power and control over all other bishops which the Orthodox Catholic Christianity does not and never did abide by for it was never a part of true Orthodox Catholic Christianity. Upon further reflection, some scholars now cautiously hazard the guess that there are roughly 250 million Orthodox Christians in the world, with a lineage stretching back to the earliest days of the Church. As for what these strange, chanting, hirsute folk actually believe, though, no one is yet confident enough to hazard a guess. Orthodoxy (Orthodox Catholic Christianity is not a "denomination" because it is the root, ground and base of the Church "Christianity" established by Jesus Christ and the Holy Apostles... it is the beginning and end of a virtually unbroken chain from the Year One until the present, and the repository of wisdom from many hundreds of "fathers" and "mothers" of the church -- saints, monastics, hierarchs, theologians and just fellow-seekers.

I don't understand why so many churches preach different messages," he said. "Other churches base their beliefs on the Bible. But the Orthodox Church (root, ground and base of all things CHRISTIAN and CATHOLIC ABOVE AND OVER the Roman Jurisdiction of the Catholic Church which stems from ORTHODOXY) made the Bible." Oh? Really? A Churchgoer wrote a letter to
the editor of his local newspaper and complained that it made no
sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years
now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something
like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a
single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the clergy
are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all." |

Commemorations
of the Saints, the Living and the Reposed
"The
irrational creatures are not autonomous; they do not lead but
rather are led by nature. This is why they do not object to
physical desire, but rush to action just as soon as they feel
desirous. Man however being rational leads nature rather than
being led by it. Thus when he would desire something, he has the
authority either to overrule that desire or to follow
it."
St. John of Damascus. Commemorations for: The Saints - The Living - The Reposed |
