Orthodox Integrity Lies Again: The Invitation That Never Existed

Orthodox Integrity - the propaganda website defending Bishop Irinej's actions at St. Sava Cathedral - has published a new claim:
Bishop Irinej expressed his willingness to meet with representatives of the protesters on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the Cathedral premises, beginning at 11:00 AM. The offer was conveyed a week in advance. No affirmative response was received.
This is a lie.
No invitation was sent. No offer was made. No communication was received by any of the 120 families standing outside their own cathedral.
Let's be very clear about what Orthodox Integrity is trying to do here:
The Tactic: Claim you offered dialogue that was refused. This makes the other side look unreasonable while you appear open and pastoral.
The Problem: It only works if you actually send the invitation.
The Reality: Bishop Irinej sent nothing. No email. No letter. No phone call. No messenger. Nothing.
The Pattern
This is the same pattern we've documented for three months:
1. Act in secret (remove priests, destroy cameras, steal sacred items)
2. Claim transparency (everyone is welcome)
3. Blame the victims (they chose not to enter)
4. Lie about offering dialogue (no affirmative response was received)
What Actually Happened on January 11, 2026
Some of the faithful returned to stand outside the cathedral. They publicly questioned - in their own blog posts - why Bishop Irinej claimed to have offered a meeting that never occurred.
Orthodox Integrity acknowledges this: On January 11, 2026, some of these same individuals again appeared outside the church and publicly questioned why Bishop Irinej has not met with them in written blogs of theirs.
Exactly.
If you offered to meet on January 10, why are they asking on January 11 why you haven't met with them?
Because no meeting was offered. Because no invitation was sent. Because this is yet another lie in a long series of lies.
The Challenge
This is simple to resolve, Orthodox Integrity:
Produce the invitation.
Show us the email. Show us the letter. Show us the phone records. Show us any evidence that Bishop Irinej or anyone acting on his behalf contacted any of the 120 families with an offer to meet on January 10, 2026.
And be warned: If you produce an email, phone call, etc., we will examine it for authenticity. Digital forensics can easily detect fabricated correspondence. Headers, metadata, timestamps - all can be verified. So if you're considering manufacturing evidence, know that we will discover it.
You can't. Because it doesn't exist.
The Truth
Orthodox Integrity writes: Dialogue cannot be demanded in public while being disregarded in private.
Dialogue cannot be claimed in propaganda posts while being refused in reality.
Orthodox Integrity writes: Reconciliation cannot be pursued through slogans while invitations are left unanswered.
Invitations cannot be left unanswered when they were never sent.
To the 120 Families
You did not refuse dialogue. You were never offered dialogue.
You did not ignore an invitation. No invitation was extended.
You did not choose this exile. You were driven out and then blamed for standing outside.
Do not let them gaslight you into believing you refused something that was never offered.
And Then... Police Were Called AGAIN
On January 11, 2026, police were called once more.
Not because anyone was causing a disturbance. Not because anyone was trespassing. Not because anyone was threatening anyone.
Police were called on the faithful's parked cars.
Yes. You read that correctly. The cars.
Were the cars threatening anyone? Were they revving their engines menacingly? Honking aggressively? Leaking oil in a hostile manner?
No.
The cars were parked. Quietly. Doing what cars do when they are not being driven: absolutely nothing.
But Bishop Irinej's administration - the same administration that claims to seek dialogue and reconciliation - called the police on inanimate objects.
Let that sink in.
This is the level of desperation we've reached: when you cannot silence the faithful standing in witness, you call police on their vehicles. When you cannot refute the documented evidence of your corruption, you harass parked cars. When you have no defense for locking 120 families out of their own cathedral, you escalate to... automobile enforcement.
The cars committed no crime. But they belonged to people Bishop Irinej doesn't want there.
And that, apparently, is crime enough.
To Orthodox Integrity
Your credibility is gone.
You claimed there was no coordination between church leadership and police - video evidence proved otherwise.
You claimed sacred items in the dumpster were routine maintenance - photographs proved otherwise.
You claimed the December 29 invitation was genuine - the pre-positioned police and pre-printed trespass notices proved otherwise.
And now you claim an invitation was sent and refused - but you cannot produce evidence it ever existed.
At some point, you have to stop lying.
We've reached that point.
The Bottom Line
Either produce the invitation Bishop Irinej allegedly sent, or retract this claim.
Those are your only two options.
Continuing to insist that an invitation was sent when no evidence exists is not defending the Church.
It is bearing false witness.
And that breaks one of the Ten Commandments.
To Bishop Irinej
If you want dialogue with the faithful of St. Sava Cathedral, here is what dialogue looks like:
1. Restore Fr. Dragoslav
2. Hold accountable those who destroyed cameras and discarded sacred items
3 Antimins - explain why it was removed why nobody is held accountable for destroying cameras and trying to set up Fr. Dragoslav for the theft
4. Rescind the trespass notices against grandmothers and mothers
5. Meet with parish - not hand-picked loyalists, but the people who actually are parish
That is dialogue.
Not propaganda posts claiming you offered meetings that never happened.
Not police-escorted invitations with arrest threats attached.
Not gaslighting 120 families into believing they refused something that was never offered.
Real dialogue. Real accountability. Real transparency.
Until then, Orthodox Integrity should stop insulting everyone's intelligence with these transparent lies.
The 120 families continue to stand in witness outside St. Sava Cathedral. They have not refused dialogue. They have been denied it. And they will not be gaslit into believing otherwise.
NEDOSTOJAN.
