Please publish the names and official addresses of the Coptic priests and bishops who have local and synodal authority for this TASBEHA.ORG/ Coptic Church.net Forum.
Please also publish the Forum’s censorship/ defamation policy and disclaimers. How is the Forum’s censorship/ defamation policy related to the Morsi/ el-Sisi regimes and the Shenouda/ Tawadros transition? I’ve noticed some slight censorship changes, no improvements, on this Forum, to commemorate the Morsi/ el-Sisi change in Egyptian national leadership. Is this a "cause and effect" matter? Censorship on the Forum has worsened drastically during the imposition of national censorship by the Morsi and el-Sisi takeovers. I don’t recall any theological censorship in this forum during Pope Shenouda’s tenure.
The Forum’s change, from resort to encouragement of (cheering on) defamatory responses by heterodox unofficial, pseudo-scientific, “moderators”, against currently unpopular, but long established principles of Orthodox Scriptural gender and family theology (clearly defined by SS Peter and Paul, who were remembered yesterday in the old, traditional Coptic Synaxarium) during the papacy of Pope Shenouda (even after Father Farrington’s withdrawal), has been replaced by the modern slightly insulting, dismissive, arbitrary summary censorship (~ Morsi/ el-Sisi, without death sentences, yet). During this transitional period, the traditional Orthodox vs. modern scientific, eligibility of “quick monk” general bishops was pretty thoroughly discussed. Now, the Holy Spirit will judge whether traditional father led, Orthodox families will be restored? Or, will the divorce loving modern Coptic psychological counselling industry witness a viral Coptic divorce epidemic growth from the “cottage” Coptic divorce and “scientific” counselling tumor that the Shenouda “advances” planted in duped Coptic clergy and families? I’ve experienced a complete resort to arrogant, unexplained, arbitrary, summary censorship of traditional Orthodox Apostolic Christian gender and family theology and practice on the Forum, since the beginnings of the Morsi, el-Sisi and Tawadros regimes. How does this secrecy benefit the Egyptian, or Coptic people?
For maximum spiritual enlightenment, all of these eternally relevant issues - Scripture, Orthodox Church Fathers, heresies, sciences, and all - should be openly discussed on the Forum, and by the Coptic Synod. The open discussion should take place now, rather than in another twenty years, when the Coptic divorce rate (and other morality norms) will meet the general national statical measurements.
Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill understands the crucial moral and social dangers of feminism. The Coptic Synod could benefit Coptic families for this and future generations by obtaining, studying, teaching and applying the principles of Russian Orthodox theology that Patriarch Kirill depends upon for his strongly expressed concerns.
