How St. Nikolaj Velimirović's Words Guide Our Struggle Over 80 years ago, the great Serbian saint and theologian St. Nikolaj  Velimirović wrote his powerful sermon "Борба за веру" (The Fight for Faith). Today, his words resonate with prophetic clarity as the parishioners of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Parma, Ohio wage their own struggle to preserve the faith handed down through generations. THE QUESTION THAT ECHOES THROUGH TIME St. Nikolaj begins with a simple yet

November 16, 2025. The crisis in the Cathedral Church of St. Sava in Cleveland did not fall from the sky. It is the result of years of silence – Bishop Irinej Dobrijević and his parishioners simply do not talk. It started with a forbidden meeting, continued with a pile of unanswered letters. And now? Instead of coming and talking with his people, Bishop Irinej calls the police on them. One question hangs in the air: Could all this have been avoided with one normal conversatio

Sunday, November 9, 2025 Today was extraordinary. About a hundred people stood in the freezing rain outside St. Sava Cathedral Cleveland. The temperature hovered around 2°C (35°F). Water poured from the sky. Umbrellas did little good. Clothes were soaked. Hands were cold. And yet—the mood was inexplicably, unexpectedly cheerful. Like everything was just great and we had no worries. Like standing in a cold downpour on a Sunday morning defending our priest was exactly where we

Good morning, my brothers and sisters. Last night was beautiful. Our children's voices rose in prayer to the Holy Mother. Families stood together. The ancient hymns of our Church filled the air. We showed the world—and heaven—who we truly are. But today, I want to talk to you about what comes next. Because they haven't given up. They won't stop. They will keep circling.

"Not all who smile are friends, and not all who serve together serve the same master." More than three decades ago, in the Eastern Empire, there lived two friends—truly brothers in Christ. Let us call them Abel and Cain. They got married, children came along, and they fed them together. They visited each other as guests, for Slava, sharing both good and bad times. Through baptisms and funerals, through feasts and fasts, they walked side by side in ministry. The people loved A

October 28, 2025  - In a move that shocks no one familiar with Bishop Irinej's autocratic style, three episcopal acts were issued today (E. No. 425, 426, 427) releasing V. Rev. Protopresbyter Dragoslav Kosic from St. Sava Cathedral in Cleveland, effective October 31, 2025  - giving the parish and priest less than 48 hours to prepare for this transition.

Dear readers, let’s take a quick hike up Mount Ego-verest, where the air is thin, the egos are thick, and Vladika Irinej Dobrijević, Bishop of Eastern America, is on a slippery slope! Bishop Irinej should be packing his bags for an early retirement—because nothing says “holy leadership” like a financial mess big enough to make even the saints weep. Bishop Irinej has been climbing Mount Ego-verest with a backpack stuffed full of flops: a $235,000 tax debt for Marcha Monastery
