organization was attempting to lay claim to the name. I'm wondering if the cult/front-group hijacked that name or perhaps was the last gasp of an organization that they somehow became a part of after it had stopped being a traditional church. What these men
Garrison was investigating were actually members of was not a church in a normal sense and does not appear to have been referred to by them as The Holy Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church in North America.

visitations about how big the human population should be, what human culture should be, and whether or not humans should go into space and in what manner. A disturbing number of the people apparently involved in the JFK assassination who were under investigation by DA Jim
Garrison in New Orleans turned out to be members of or otherwise connected to it. This is a matter of public record and has been further backed up by subsequent research.

I also rewrote and condensed the information in a summary-style, correcting those grammatical errors found.

I need to think about it. In any case, we need to explain why
Metropolitan Platon change his mind about THEOCACNA from approval to rejection. To do this, we need to write about his departure from the ROCOR. And about his defrocking by the ROCOR for this. Accordingly, any acts of Metropolitan Platon
