    ?… have to admit there’s silver lining to humongous disruption of Pandemic in regards to some Orthodox churches:
    certain annual events, I believe, will Never return as before + that’s a good thing! ?
    Kyrie Eleison… I pray these cancellations will give pause to reflect … it’s as if God heard me weep last summer, after a large church event left me feeling I had visited a devil’s cauldron.
    Yea, May It Be Blessed ?
     

  3. Those gave me a laugh. It’s still sad but at least smiling helps 
     
    The bishops seem to be worshiping the Religion of Science. Just watched a good video that two Orthodox guys did on this. The entire thing isn’t about this, but the topic is covered:

      What we do without The Babylon Bee?

      This reminds me of a Southpark episode in which Eric Cartman is woken in the future after falling in a deep freeze.  In this future, Science reigns supreme but the various “scientists” have fallen into sectarianism and they kill each other.  As some are wounded and dying they gasp out “Praise Science!” and then expire.
      It’s hilarious.
