Methodically

It is clear what the goal is, and this is the method, definitely. To avoid confusion - the second metropolitan of the Serbian Orthodox Church also spoke out. A high level of agreement was shown on the most important spiritual issues. For him, too, the Chetniks are knights, and he spoke with choice words, with sincere enthusiasm, about the quislings and glorified war criminals. Representatives of Christ's teachings, you said? A priest, a war criminal who killed the weak, became a saint. In fact, he did not become a saint (nor is that possible) but rather these and such proclaimed him a saint. And with that they said enough about themselves.

Again, it's not that we don't know about their tendency to exaggerate, so to speak. Do you remember when the Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church Irenaeus once said that the position of Serbs was better in the Ottoman Empire and Pavelićeva NDH than in today's Montenegro. Imagine what (everything) it takes to make such a statement.

Metropolitan SPC Methods He called the Yugoslav state since 1945 a Tito-Ustasha creation that committed genocide against Serbs. So, this man has no problem claiming that in the so-called Tito's In Yugoslavia, genocide was committed against one of the nations, and the most numerous. Such things are not just stated, one must be sure of what one is talking about.

I have experienced this partly myself, I must admit. Since the country the other metropolitan was talking about was the country I had spent about a quarter of a century in, I thought I must have noticed something of it. Of course I did not feel at all comfortable that all this, a whole genocide, no less, was happening around me (around us) and I (we) did not react... So I quickly tried to remember such atrocities, all that this metropolitan was talking about. (I don't even know what they need another metropolitan for when he is the same as the one already there. They really are like bottles of Coca Cola - all the same.)

So I set out in search of the genocide that marked my growing up and yet somehow seemed to have escaped me...

I'm trying to remember which of my classmates from the Savo Pejanović Elementary School in Titograd were killed by the authorities in the 1970s simply because they were Serbs.

Which of our neighbors had their houses burned down in those bloody seventies and eighties?

I'm searching through my memories for how someone (close to the authorities, of course) in my student days, in the 1980s, stopped a train somewhere in northern Montenegro and took about twenty Serbs off the train so that no one would ever see them again...

Or let me recall some identification checks on the street where as soon as they recognize a Serbian name and surname, people are taken to some kind of camp or shooting range.

Then... surely in Pljevlja, somewhere around that time, several thousand Serbian civilians of all ages were killed in a few weeks, and I just wonder - how did they hide it from us? The current mayor of Pljevlja will probably try to clarify that.

We followed the radio broadcasts of football matches on Sundays (Sports and leisure time), went to cinemas and theatres, some went on work actions, on summer holidays... and one has to ask - how did they hide all this, an entire genocide, from us?

Those communists were truly omnipotent. They hid all the abominations they did from people, but, fortunately, Metropolitan Metodije and his men were there to prevent the truth from getting lost somewhere and the honest and faithful people from being deceived. Truth-lovers like no other.

Surely you, at least those of you over forty-five, remember what he's talking about?

And if not?

Then I don't know what happened to the Serbian Orthodox Church metropolitans in Montenegro. It's as if someone is giving them millstones (but from that one Popa Mace) grass...

To return to my painful attempts to regain consciousness, summon up (historical) wisdom, and remember the evil the metropolitan is talking about.

In short - since I don't remember any such or similar episode, it's clear that I have to conclude that Metropolitan Methodius doesn't know what he's talking about. Or he's misleading, very methodically...
