ReplyDeleteSheh en rompi Father Moses!

ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to all.
ReplyDeleteWe are all children of the one and same Creator.
May the blessings of the Holy Trinity be with us.
Wishing not to speculate and / or promote anything that is not of value towards our salvation, may the Lord Jesus forgive my words, if in error.
Fr Moses (Patrick) Curley has for one reason or another moved from the Fullness of the Church of Christ (Orthodox) to the Coptic Church. As we all know there has been and still remains a separation between the Coptic Church and the Orthodox Church due specifically to dogmatic differences which are classed as heretical.
It is a sad day when a transfer of an individual occurs from the Fullness of The Faith which they have received, especially considering the ordination of the Priesthood.
Without Prejudice I hope and pray for all that is good within the Will of God, yet I am very saddened.

Axios! (And that is from an Orthodox Christian who loves both the Coptic and the Serbian Orthodox Churches!)
