A Response to Bernard

A self-assured Bernard Le Caro, brandishes all sorts of linguistic gymnastics to insult Metropolitan Emmanuel of Gaul and cast aspersions on a certain “very public Archon” and the Order of St Andrew “a group of laymen who act as defenders of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.” Scandalously this orthochristian website indulges in its anonymity and attacks all jurisdictions not in line with “Putin’s Espionage Church.” It is alleged be financially supported by the Department of External Affairs and the Kremlin. To complicate matters further this post was a translation by bootlicker named Jesse Dominic, a rabid ROCOR troll and anti-Ecumenical Patriarchate blogger who has the verbal skills of a dim bulb. Take this sites content with a grain of salt. The story was picked up by other tabloid sites like Pravoslavie and Romfea who salaciously included pictures of Archbishop Elpidophoros venerating the relics in San Franscico…
 
According to Bernard’s prologue which is replete of mendacities and slanders:

The following article was written, as the title indicates, in response to recent remarks from Metropolitan Emmanuel of Gaul of the Patriarchate of Constantinople about St. John (Maximovitch), great among the saints. While the Metropolitan refers to the Holy Hierarch as a schismatic, he at least acknowledges his sanctity. On the other hand, in the past few weeks, a very public member of the Archons (the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle)— a group of laymen who act as defenders of the Patriarchate of Constantinople—who uses memes rather than reasoned dialogue to attack anyone who does not wholly follow the Constantinople party line on Ukraine or any other issue, has taken to blaspheming Christ through His saints, attacking the person of St. John and denying his sainthood with language and a spirit inappropriate for any Orthodox Christian. Thus, the present article is doubly relevant.

Bernard takes the Quinque viæ approach to make his case. Five so-called logical arguments to prove Maximovtch was not schismatic. Let’s see how he does.
