Ask the Patriarch
The Patriarch of the Church regularly receives questions from visitors to the site. An arbitrary selection of these questions together with replies will be posted here. Answers posted will not necessarily be identical to those originally provided to the petitioner. In general I'd like to provide serious answers to facetious questions and vice versa. Unfortunately, it does not always work out that way.
