Herein, I Bind/Tie/Remit putin and #kirill’s sins on their heads. In other words, I Refuse them Forgiveness.
In putin’s case it is his lies (NOT going to invade Ukraine, Not bombarding Civilians/Civilian areas, etc,), his crime of destroying another country, killing women and Children.
putin going to church, making the sign of the cross, whatever, count for Nothing besides these things.
In kirill’s case it is his Naivette., Not being concerned about putin’s crimes stated above. Also, …
Putin found one substantial plank from Russia’s past that he could build with: Orthodoxy. His government made a deal with the church. The state would help rebuild the church that had made Russia special for more than a thousand years, and the church would support the government, conservative values, and even Putin’s questionable foreign interventions in Ukraine, Syria, and elsewhere. (From: https://restoftheiceberg.org/posts/2018/4/2/why-does-the-russian-orthodox-church-support-vladimir-putin)
All those deals do not save kirill’s skin. …All heads of Christian churches are supposed to be The Vicar of Christ. That, evidently, takes some doing.
(In the event of either or both of them Recanting, with the UTMOST sincerety, my above gets Nullified).
…
Some background.
Christ Jesus gave His Aposles, (NOT to the Public in general, see John 20.19), the Authority to forgive sins, Or to Refuse that.
That is Hugely contested, but here is what The Bible says He said:
We can see that ALL versions (translations) say the Same thing. Pl look at the left column. My being Ordained gives me that Authority.
If You ask What Practical purpose does my statement serve… Useful Only if it reaches their Ears. But Funnier things have happened,

The colors of life…
Today’s (Oct 1) thots in ‘Streams in the Desert.’ Excellent. Ps. 119.71, 4.1.
It is a remarkable circumstance that the most brilliant colours of plants are to be seen on the highest mountains, in places that are most exposed to the harshest weather. The brightest lichens and mosses, the loveliest wild flowers abound up on the bleak, storm-scalped peak.
One of the richest displays of organic colouring was near the summit of Mount Chenebettaz, a hill about 10,000 feet high, immediately above the St. Bernard Hospice. The whole face of an extensive rock was covered with a most vivid yellow lichen which shone in the sunshine like a golden embattlement of an enchanted castle.
There, in the lofty region, amid the most frowning desolation, exposed to the fiercest tempest of the sky, this lichen exhibited a glory such as it never showed in the sheltered valley. So one lichen from St. Bernard and the other from the wall of a Scottish castle, deeply…

Everyday I ‘decide’ (how feeble my decisions are, at least in this regard!) to visit, and work on my blog.
In my opinion, the blogging world has deep thinkers, twitter affords very quick news, facebook somewhere in between, and whatsapp for the feeble (You can complete that word). I use all four platforms.
While perhaps 0.5% of the world is Alive, Active and Kicking, most particularly in twitter, the rest of the 99.5% behaves as did people in the times of Noah. Luke 17:26-28.

Perhaps a month ago, a 19-20 yo girl of the ‘supposed’ lower caste, was Gang raped, had her tongue cut out, her back broken. All these 30 days the Indian police saw fit to do nothing. Then immediately after her death, they saw fit to burn (‘cremate’) her body at 2.30 AM, locking up her family in their compound.
Now, with the body burnt, officials, administrative and police are denying charges of rape.
…
When Jesus had said that He had been Hungry, He had not meant Himself. Using that, I had written (in Tamil) that Jesus had been raped.
I also added, sarcastically, let’s go watch a video. …Not even 0.5% response to that.
This gets me down; it should not, but it does.

These days…
*******
These days, my Dear Friends, have been concentrating on writing posts for my Facebook page: For Catholics, accessed through @swamiyesudas.
It has been both my hope and Firm belief that people, Actively taking part in the affairs of life, can Effect Powerful changes.
It is the Apathy and Lethargy of mankind that prevents this action, and results in the proliferation of evil.
…
On the other side Christians, – I shall limit myself to catholics, as I dislike infringing upon areas not my own, thus – catholics, seem to think that attending ‘mass,’ to use the word they themselves would use, saying ‘book’ prayers, going for pilgrimages, and giving to charity is all there is to it; and the clergy takes pains (!) that the laity remain in this mindset.
Christ Weeps.
…
Here is a sample of what I write there.
…Do hope You visit that page. …Hearty Regards.
PS: Am not able to type all that well with my left hand. So forgive me if I do not get in touch with You too much.

From my Tweets:
Swami Yesudas @SwamiYesudas
Archbishop Wilton starts with a bang, and fizzles out like a Damp cracker. …But he did at least that. More than can be said of #EdwardPeters, canon lawyer, #bishops in general, or the #pope
@Pontifex himself.
