(p. 74) Merton notes that he has been reading Paul Evdokimov, a student of Bulgakov’s and member of the first graduating class of St. Serge: “Here is a real theologian,” he comments, “one of the few.” Evdokimov describes sophiology as “the glory of present-day Orthodox theology”

A Feeneyite who recently held a conclave to elect a new pope had a weekly online podcast/talk show with Chabadnik Rabbi Vladimir Zelenko hosted by Lowell Gallin a promoter of the noahide laws.
They discuss on this show how to resist the “Great Reset”, “Mark of the Beast”, and the “Globalist Terrorism Campaign”. Just what every Catholic needs, a bunch of rabbis, talmudists, kabbalists, and noahide law promoters explaining Catholicism to listeners.
The Feeneyites of St. Benedict Center (Charles Coulombe's buddies) promoting Bugnolo and his knightly order “Ordo Militaris Catholicus”. Got to go to Iraq and fight ISIS. Now it's Ukraine and fight the Moslems.

Today Francis met with Rabbi Yaakov Bleich (the current claimant to the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine) and his entourage.
Rabbi to the Pope: “Eighty years later – and we are still talking about genocide” time.news/rabbi-to-the-p…
Francis, “Indeed, you represent the Churches and religious organizations of Ukraine, including the Biblical Society, which is interdenominational.” vatican.va/content/france…
(p. 288) “In the 1470s or 1480s Elijah del Medigo, originally from Candia, arrived in northern Italy and...was in close contact with Giovanni Pico della Mirandola”
“we should take into account a Jew who never came to Italy but whose influence there was perhaps greater than that of all the previously mentioned persons, the mysterious Elisha of Constantinople...it is possible that one of Plethon’s teachers in Byzantium was a Jew named Elisha”
Another excellent adventure in ROCOR clergy. Ryan Lozano was ordained a priest by a LARP-ing vagus 'bishop' Leo Michael as some sort of orthodox-anglican. bit.ly/31bhFc9
Ryan left that group and hitched a ride with another LARP-er, Old Catholic vagus 'bishop', Rutherford Johnson who styles himself a ‘cardinal archbishop’ of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church. Ryan was ‘incardinated’ under this clown and later ‘consecrated’ a ‘bishop’ by him.
On 1 June 2012, Ryan Lozano becomes the Archbishop of the Diocese of the Southwest of the Anglican Rite Roman Catholic Church. hierarchy.religare.ru/h-angl-arrcc.h…
