Sad Commentary on the Denver Metropolitan
The Auxiliary Bishop from Denver is coming for a pastoral visit; a byproduct of the visit, is his wish to have a meeting for an “open dialogue” with our community. The “open dialogue” during his visit in our community is scheduled for July 21, 2013, at 2:00 o’clock pm, at the Holy Trinity Cathedral.
The announcement for the meeting, couches it in the following terms: “... streamline this meeting and make the most efficient use of this limited time ... .” This approach for what is supposed to be an “open dialogue,” spells simply censorship.
A prerequisite to his “open dialogue” is having a cut-off date of July 12, 2013, to submit in advance and in writing questions from the parishioners.
How can you have an open exchange of ideas, [see definition of “dialogue”] when one person controls the content, and the “thought” process ??
How can you have an open exchange of ideas if there is a prior restraint on speech ??
The best action is for all of us to show up and demand a truly open dialogue:
- without prior restraints;
- without rehearsals; and
- without marketing spins.
Let’s all be there !!

Nick,
well said.
However i do not expect any answers from him.
And if he says anything,he can not be trusted.
As he says:"if i did not write it ,i did not say it".
One philoptochos and one proistameno is what the community wants.
Ten years of nothing but problems in this community warrant the immediate removal of Fr. Kouremetis.

Maybe he should talk to Charles Van Doren first.
