Also being an adherent (as best as possible) to the Eastern Orthodox Faith is beyond troubling. Nothing further...

ROCOR has practically been a Russian influence operation for a long time.

A lot of alt-right characters - e.g. Lauren Witzke - claim to be orthodox, and more particularly are ROCOR.

Are you familiar with what's been going on as discussed here:

WHITE SUPREMACY IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH: WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

This is not some isolated phenomenon, but appears to be a widespread phenomenon that has been observed by persons within various Orthodox traditions.

Not under russian patriarchate.

ROCOR was a separate entity until not long ago .

We had communicated at a Greek Orthodox Community for 15 years and it was lovely.

The 'Faith' is one thing. The 'Church' consists of imperfect humanity.
