I am sorry that I could not update this website earlier in March with everything else on hand. We still have snow on high grounds here in Jordanville, but spring has arrived down the hill in Herkimer (in the photo).
|
I hope that all of you are well, and I wish you peaceful completion of our Lenten journey.
|
Thank you for your continuing interest.

The Canonical and Legal Position of the Moscow Patriarchate
|
|
One of the lines of arguments in this pamphlet published by Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem in 1971 is that, since Moscow Patriarchate did not have rights of legal corporation, it was the Soviet state and not the Church that had approved the decision to issue autocephaly to the Metropolitanate. Although this essay bears strong characteristics of polemical writing, some of the facts and points remain valid for historical reconstruction, for understanding the position of the ROCOR in particular, and generally the extraordinary canonical reality of the twentieth century.
