And now let’s interpret the parable. A parish – is a community of people united by family ties, one family, one body! And a church – is a gathering of independent, isolated individuals (egoists), each living their own life. A parish – is a body, a living organism, where a parishioner – is a living member of the body, a living cell of the organism. A church – is a pile (heap), where visitors – are grains of sand in this heap; no one depends on anyone, each for themselves, each lives their own life, unlike parishioners, each of whom lives not their own life, but the life of the Body (Christ (not I live, but Christ lives in me, Another), the Holy Spirit, the Father). Parishioners are organically connected to each other, while visitors – mechanically! The Patriarchates that exist now – are heaps, held together by a pyramidal hierarchy (in the sense of force and intimidation – like the hierarchy of this age), mechanically and coercively, not in freedom and love, not organically at the parish level, which presupposes a hierarchy not of power, but of service, where the pyramid of the Body stands upside down! Patriarchates – are an organic body that grew from the community, the parish (see above), and which later, through secularization, turned into a dead mechanism (heap)!
And now let’s return to the feast (communion of the Eucharist, more precisely to one facet of this Sacrament of the Body of the Church – communion of the Holy Gifts (communion of the Church in the form of a Feast). How do relatives, especially father, mother (husband, wife), behave when someone present at the Dinner at the table does not eat?! They immediately ask: what happened, did you perhaps fall ill, maybe something happened that you don’t want to eat? Why aren’t you eating?! What happened?! The same reaction in brothers and sisters! In the church (secular dining room) no one cares about you (grain of sand)!!! Not the cooks, nor the sellers, nor the customer-buyers – no one is interested in you (except maybe the dining room staff: as someone who pays money)! And now let’s look at the gathering of ‘baptized’ in temples, cathedrals – are these parishes or churches?! Families or gatherings of acquaintances and strangers, bodies or heaps?! Obviously, 99.99…9% (out of a hundred) of gatherings ‘Christians’ – are churches! Since the Eucharist – is a gathering of the parish for the Sacrament of the Kingdom, few commune in the Eucharist (a visitor cannot realistically commune – see above) – parishioners! The pope, patriarch, metropolitan,… archpriest, priest – a visitor (priest, hireling) or a parishioner (pastor)?! A parishioner – is one who in the Sacrament of the Eucharist tastes God, communes the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of God, Divine Love! Priests do not commune in the Eucharist – by their fruits you will know them. For if they had communed the Holy Spirit (not Bread and Wine – anyone can approach the Cup and ‘commune’, even those not baptized (in large spiritual supermarkets this happens very often, especially before Easter, when everyone fulfills the traditional, cultural duty – once a year, before Easter to confess and commune; pagans, thinking that it is a national, cultural tradition, also confess and commune!?? priests do not care about people – they confess and feast everyone!?) even once in their life, they could not but call everyone to the communion of the Kingdom of God (‘we cannot but preach’ – said the apostles, who knew God-Love and communed Divine Love; a similar reaction in communicants of the Eucharist (Divine Love), the Kingdom of God)! ‘It’s so tasty, try it, taste it and see that the Lord is good’ – says the one who loves fellow diners and wants them to experience the pleasure from consuming the Food, the Divine Dish (Bread and Wine of Eternal Life). Therefore, almost no one (now I round the figure, which tends toward zero; so few Christians (communicants of the Holy Spirit at the Eucharistic gathering of the faithful), that is, parishioners, communicants, that you can say no one!) communes: neither patriarchs, nor metropolitans,… nor archpriests, nor priests – these are pagans (priests, hirelings), at best before us are proclaimed (patriarchs, metropolitans etc.). If the head does not care that all present commune the Kingdom of God, is not interested in why someone does not eat God, although they came to the Service, – this is a priest, a pagan priest, a criminal (we are not talking about everyone without announcement, proper preparation, without repentance and renewal of baptismal vows going to the Cup! We are talking about the need to work with every person who came to the gathering, to proclaim – this is the duty of the entire community of the faithful and especially the head!). Further draw analogies yourselves. We say all this not to question the hierarchical structure of the church or the administrative-territorial dimension, in short, not to destroy historical forms, but to fill the existing church forms (canonical, hierarchical etc.) with Orthodox content again through repentance.
