Wounded in the Head: another Lie of the Kiev Patriarchate Priests Exposed
On August 26, on his Facebook page, a certain Pavel Podobed posted "breaking news" about "a sexton of the UOC", who allegedly committed an assault on a priest of the Kiev Patriarchate. This "sensation" was picked up by several sites, using almost the same text and photos: "In Korsun, Cherkassy region, a sexton of the local church belonging to the UOC - MP, Mikhail Lysenko, attacked with a knife Rostislav Bylo, a priest of the UOC-KP." The latter said that wounds on his head, supposedly made with a knife, constitute "evidence" of the assault of the sexton.

In order to refute the obvious lie, it was enough for the journalists to communicate with an allegedly "attacking" parishioner of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who was not even a church minister, and verify the information on the nature of the injure got by the KP priest, Rostislav Bylo.
And here a true sensation immerged. As it was investigated by Anatoly Shariy, the priest of the KP was not a victim, but an initiator of a drunken brawl, during which he, being intoxicated, together with his co-believers on the patriarchate, attacked the parishioner of the UOC. The latter decided not to inflate the scandal and slander on Facebook.
But the cleric of the KP apparently decided to use his "wounds", received apparently from falling on broken glass, as evidence of an attack of a local parishioner of the church, presented to the media as a priest of the UOC. So, on a drunken head, such "sensations" are born, fanning aggression against the confession unwanted by the Kyiv Patriarchate.

Christian Zionism Is a Heresy
Last week, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem condemned Christian Zionism. This is long overdue. Christian Zionism is a dangerous and heretical ideology. It distorts the clear teaching of Scripture and the Fathers: that the Church, not the Zionist state, is the true Israel of God. Worse yet, it leads Christians in the West to ignore—or even cheer on—the eradication of indigenous Christian communities in the Holy Land.

Papal infallibility, intended as a gift to clarify doctrine, has instead become "Schrödinger's Pope"—a source of profound confusion because Catholics cannot agree on when or how often it has been exercised, rendering it practically useless for defining the boundaries of faith and causing more doctrinal chaos than it resolves.
