The Holy Synod should make the conscience of the Church known to the people of Bulgaria, but it was late in doing so. Their statement on Tuesday should have been in a different tone with the understanding that a last minute cancellation was highly unlikely to occure. When people buy a Madonna concert ticket they know what they are getting, so why try and stop it when instead you can transform it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558503073067533537.post-34172546659115756022009-08-29T11:20:46.696-04:002009-08-29T11:20:46.696-04:00To be clear (and repetitive), I&#39;m not against the statement of the Holy Synod, just the timing of it. All they did was fall into a trap and open themselves up to ridicule. I have my opinion and you have yours.John_Sanidopouloshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07111016099805416329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558503073067533537.post-9526007993393538522009-08-29T11:08:32.608-04:002009-08-29T11:08:32.608-04:00&quot;I believe the Holy Synod made a serious error here that could tarnish their reputation.&quot; <br /><br />You do, do you? Well, maybe they should make you an honorable voting member of the Holy Synod from now on since your so much &quot;wiser&quot; than they!<br /><br />Then, when it comes to making decisions about things like fasting, the Church could adopt your own &quot;pious&quot; fasting practice: A strict fast day means keeping the letter but, not the spirit of the fast (i.e. attending a sexually expicit rock concert, put on by a woman who blaspheme&#39;s the name of our Most-holy Lady the Theotokos, is ok). <br /><br />How sad that we are now left &quot;without shepherds.&quot; At least the Orthodox Church has you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
