Serbs in Australia, take the time to ask yourselves, what is happening within your community.   -     Open up your eyes and ask yourselves, what is behind your Bishop Irinej’s intentions.

The former Bishop of Sitka, Alaska, Nikolai Soraich, Paul Gabriel Erricson (known as father Pantalejmon) and Stanley James Brittain (known as Father Isidore) are all residing at the St Sava monastery in Elaine as guests of Bishop Irinej. (the latter two being suspended from the Orthodox Church of America) According to their visa applications, they have no canonical status in Australia.

Even though they have been invited as guests of Bishop Irinej under his hospitality, it appears that the Serbian community in Victoria is paying the costs of this hospitality.

Is Australia now becoming the dumping ground for the former and suspended orthodox clergy of America?

We read that Stanley James Brittain (father Isidore) whilst in the States was undergoing treatment for alcoholism and addiction. He also sexually accosted the man who was to have looked after him from alcoholism. 

The official title of Nikolai Soraich is “the former Bishop of the American Orthodox Church Sitka in Alaska USA.

He has been invited to Australia as a guest of Bishop Irinej.(“under the hospitality” of the Serbian Orthodox Bishop of Australia, Bishop Irinej. “under hospitality” means that Bishop Nikolai has no canonical status in Australia. He has not been received as a Bishop under the umbrella of the Serbian Orthodox Church and yet he is conducting church services in our Serbian Church’s in Australia. We have been told that he has taken the role as Bishop of the St Sava Monastery in Elaine.

Abbot Teodor is the official head of this monastery and should remain so. He is liked and respected by all.

We read in the newspaper, that on the 23^rd November, the former Bishop of Sitka, Nikolai Soraich conducted a church service at the Serbian Orthodox Church, St George in St Albans. This surely is a direct breach of his visa condition relating to his entry to Australia.

Irinej, Soraich, Pantalejmon and Isidore (all from America)  -  you have all been caught out..

Father Pantalejmon had applied for a loan to Capital Finance for the installation of a new phone system at the St. Sava Monastery in Elaine. (Approx cost of $5000 +).  Paul Gabriel Erricson, quoting the Monastery’s ABN number together with a photocopy of his foreign drivers license and passport, signed the loan application. (his visa status and his non-residential status, denies him  the right to sign any documents on behalf of the Monastery.

Capital Finance stated that the Application rang alarm bells as to why a non resident should apply for finance on behalf of the Serbian Monastery in Elaine – surly it has its own members who are residents of Australia.

The monastery, we are told, has its own bank account with the abbot, Teodor as its signatory.

We would like to know who gave written permission to father Pantalejmon to sign documents on behalf of the Monastery.

Was this a test to see how far they could go? We were never afraid that they would sell our Church assets, but were afraid that they would borrow on behalf of our church assets.   -   We now have the proof.

We were able to foil their first attempt, or are there others that we are still not aware of.

We have always warned our Serbian community in Australia, against accepting Bishop Irinej’s proposed new constitution. By accepting his new constitution, you will give him full control over our Church assets to do as he wishes.

Irinej has already stated that he is the “King and Prince” of our Church and its assets in Australia. He does not recognize that each Church Parish, its members and parishioners, should have the right to independently control and administer their own church assets.

Bishop Irinej is expelling from membership, those faithful, who have issues with the proposed Church’s new constitution He is allowing the new generation of priests to be aggressive. Unfortunately, the younger generation is being incorrectly informed of where the true orthodox faith and our church is heading.

The bulling tactics of two priests in Melbourne, who show little respect for all of the Serbian community, young and old, disappoints them. They say” that today’s priesthood by their actions are discouraging the youth from attending church, whilst at the same time encouraging the faithful to leave the church”.

Open up your eyes, you too are donating and working for Irinej’s cause.

Ask yourselves, why this Bishop refuses to reply in writing to questions asked. He simply ignores you so as to not implicate himself.

Choose  -  Orthodoxy or Catholicism, St Sava or the Pope, pride or prejudice -  its up to you.

SERBS IN MELBOURNE:

Dear friends,
Congratulations on raising awareness of the actions of Soraich and the 2 suspended clergy from  USA. Irinej needs to answer why is he allowing 2 suspended OCA clergy to serve here? Why has Soraich emptied the monastery accounts so that Panteleimon has to apply for a $5k loan? Are you aware that Isidore's treatment for rehabilitation cost $58K and the bill has yet to be paid? has he come here to avoid costs in USA? Are you aware that the monastery account held approx $100k at the time Soraich sezied control of it? The money seems to have been spent on the full renovation to the Bishop's residence at the monastery, (Bishop Irinej and his two predecessors have NEVER lived there.......), the rebuilding of the monastery gates, renovation of flats etc etc etc......it is very sad that good hard working Serbs are being used by Soraich they will learn what a dictator he is......he was FORCIBLY retired and the reports of his time as bishop in ALaska are a terrible story of cruelty and despotism.....this man should be in retirement and not acting as fill in bishop for whenever Bishop Irinej chooses....the Holy Synod in Belgrade should be asked to request Irinej why Soraich is doing as he pleases and why Irinej accepts two suspended clergy?

Braco Srbi Australije, poklonite vasem razumu i vasim srcima malo vremena i zapitajte se? Sta se dogadja sa srpskom zajednicom? Otvorite oci i pogledajte, sta se krije sa namerama Vladike Irineja?

U nasem Srpskom Manastiru Sveti Sava-Elaine trenutno stanuju bivsi Vladika  Sitke iz Aljaska, Nikolai Soraich, Paul-Gabriel Erricson (poznatiji kao o.Pantalejmon)  ova dvojica su liseni duznosti “Americke Pravoslavne Crkve” u Americi i Stanley-James Brittain (poznatiji kao o.Isidor) kao gosti Vladike Irineja,). Vize, koje su izdate istima , nedozvoljavaju nikakve radne duznosti u Australiji niti im Vlada Australije dozvoljava da se bave bilo kakvim religijskim aktivnostima dok su u Australiaji.

Procitali smo i saznali da je ta treca osoba Stanley James Brittain (poznatiji kao o.Isidore), u Americi kao alkoholicar za vreme svoga alkoholicarskog lecenja seksualno zlostavljao osobu koja ga je negovala.

Uprkos tome sto su pozvani kao gosti Vladike Irineja, a koji  im je licno ukazao  gostoprinstvo, nama se ipak cini da Srbi Viktorije placaju to gostoprinstvo jer oava trojica zive u nasem Manastiru i trose Manastirski novac .  Da li Autralija postaje utociste za suspendovano i rascinjeno pravoslavno svestenstvo iz Amerike?

Zvanicna titula Vl. Nikolaja Soraich-a je: “Bivsi Vladika  Sitke.  Americke Pravoslavne Crkve” u Alaska SAD.  On je pozvan kao gost od strane srpskog  sadasnjeg Vladike Irineja, (koji mu je  ukazao gostoprinstvo), sto znaci da Vladika Nikolai ne poseduje pravo rada unutar SPC po Australlijanskom Imigracionom Zakonu  jer se nalazi ovde kao  turista.  Iako nije  primljen u Australiju kao Vladika  “Srpske Pravoslavne Crkve”, a ipak mu se dozvoljava da vrsi “Svete Arhijerejske Liturgije” u nasim crkvama Melburna i Australije. Nazalost istina je, koliko saznajemo, da je cak unapredjen u cin: “Nastojatelja Srpskog Manastira Sveti Sava”-Elaine,  iako je nama je veoma poznato da je: Arhimandrid-Teodor Bojovic zvanicni nastojatelj Manastira u Elaine-u, i trebalo bi tako da ostane jer je uvek bio postovan i voljen od srpskog naroda.

Procitali smo da je bivsi Vladika Nikolai Soraich iz Aljaske, 23. Novembra 2008. sluzio “Svetu Arhijerejsku Liturgiju” u SPC “St. Georgije” St. Albans. To je direktan prekrsaj Imigracionog Zakona Australije, a ujedno i prekrsaj turisticke vize koja mu je izdata od Ministarstva  za Imigraciju.

Irinej, Soraich, Pantalejmon i Isidore, (svi iz Amerike) – treba da znate, da ste prekrsili zakon i da ste uhvaceni na delu!!!

Da slucaj bude jos gori taj kvazi svestenik Pantalejmon je podneo molbu kompaniji “Capital Finance” za pozajmicu  $5000+, navodno: “da se uvede telefonski system”, u manastir St. Sava u Elaine, a Paul-Gabriel Erricson je prikazao poslovni broj (ABN) Manastira, zajedno sa fotokopijom njegove strane vozacke dozvole, a takodje i Americkog pasosa  kako bi potpisao za pozajmicu istoimene sume novca u ime naseg Manastira.  Od kada to stranci se zaduzuju u ime naseg Manastira - postavljamo pitanje?

“Capital Finance”  kompanija koja daje kredite, se zapitala: “zasto turisti u Australiji potpisuju aplikacije/molbe za pozajmicu novca u ime Manastira? Verovatno da Manastir ima svoje clanove koji bi trebali da potpisu taj zahtev a ne oni.  Manastir St. Sava, koliko znamo ima svoj otvoreni bankovni racun, a potpisnik je Arhimandrit o.Teodor Bojovic.

Zeleli bi da znamo: “ko je dao pismenu punomoc o.Pantalejmonu da potpise dokumente u ime manastira? 

Dali je to mozda samo neka provera, da vide koliko daleko mogu stici? Mi se ne bojimo dace nam oni prodati crkveno vlasnistvo, jer to ne mogu, ali se zato bojimo da ce oni pozajmiti novac u ime nase crkvene imovine i zaduziti nasu Crkvenu Imovinu.  Sada smo svesni i imamo dokaz su to i pokusali. 

Imali smo srece i mogucnosti, da saznamo njihov prvi pokusaj, ali pitamo se, dali ima jos nekoliko slicnih pokusaja, za koje mi ne znamo?.

Uvek pokusavamo da upozorimo nasu srpsku zajednicu, protiv prihvatanja Vladike Irinejevog “Novog Ustava”. Ako ga prihvatimo, dajemo mu punu kontrolu nad srpskom crkvom i njenim vlasnistvom, da radi i upravlja, kako on to zeli.

Vladika Irinej nam je vec ranije rekao da je on “Kralj i Princ” svih crkava i njenog vlasnistva u Australiji.  Naveo je i dao do znanja da On nepriznaje ni jednu crkvenu Parohiju, clanstvo, parohijane, a pogotovo uprave Crkvenih Opstina i da On ne dozvoljava da se nezavisno kontrolise i vodi administrativno poslovanje Crkvenih Parohija.

Vladika Irinej isteruje clanove iz crkve, pa cak i parohijane koji se ne slazu ili protive  njegovim stavovima i ne priznaje “Novi Crkveni Ustav”. Prikuplja nove ljude, nove generacije i novo svestenstvo koji ne biraju sredstva samo da bi dosli do zeljenog cilja. Svi ti novi svestenici zamisljaju da su oni odgovorni samo Bogu, a nikako narodu koji im obezbedjuju buducnost i crkveni zivot.

Da bi postigli svoje ciljeve, regrutuju mladu i jos nezrelu omladinu, ispiraju im mozgove govoreci, kako ce oni biti vodici nasih crkava, a ponajvise osudjuju one starije koji su gradili nase crkve, a i one koji se takodje protive “Novom Svetskom Poretku”.

Milan Milutinovic (svestenik nove tkz. generacije) je u svome clanku Srpskoga Glasa, stampan 26. Novembra 2008. rekao da: “veruje svojoj novoj i mladjoj generaciji i da mi ne moramo da se brinemo jer oni pokazuju da su sposobni, pametni i trebalo bi da vode nasu crkvu i zajednicu”. On dalje navodi:”da je omladina ona koja izgradjuje i vrsi promocije????, a dosta nasih starijih ljudi truju srpsku zajednicu, a takodje je ruse, psuju, i teraju mladji narastaj i omladinu od crkve”.???

Cini nam se sada, da ovaj isti svestenik, slusa samo one koji ga prate (naravno to je manjina) kojoj je mozak opran ovakvim idejama i svestenicima, ali vecina mladih nije istog misljenja. 

On bi u stvarnosti trebao da slusa, sta ustvari omladina govori, “da danasnje svestenstvo svojim radom odbijaju omladinu od crkve i ubijaju njihov duh za crkvom i crkvenim Bogosluzenjima, a u isto vreme odbijaju vernike da dolaze, vec odlaze od crkve.

I ko je uopste taj, nekada mladi svestenik Milan Milutinovic, iz cijih usta tako ruzne reci izlaze?  Valjda je i on nekada bio mlad – ili je mozda nabrzinu ostario kada je dosao Vladika Irinej? .  Da li se neko seca tog nekada mladog svestenika Milana Milutinovica? I da li se neko pita od kuda iz njegovih usta samo proklinjanje izlazi, da ne pitamo odakle mu pravo za tako nesto.

Otvorite oci braco Srbi , Vi, sa vasim radom i donacijama pomazete Irineja da ostvari svoj cilj.  Zapitajte se, zasto Irinej uporno odbija da odgovori na pitanja pismenim putem? Jednostavno, on vas ignorise da se n ebi sapleo i nasao u situaciji gde vam ne moze odgovoriti.

Zapamtite i setite se : “Ne pada sneg da pokrije breg nego da svaka zver pokaze svoj trag………….”    Izaberite; Pravoslavlje ili Katolicizam, Svetog Savu ili Papu, ponos ili predrasude i red ili haos i stetu?

Na vama je.
