[edit]

As someone already has pointed out, this article cites no sources. Only three blocks to the North, we have another Ukrainian Catholic Church, Saint Nicholas Cathedral, which has existed since about 1905 to 1907, and which still functions. Please explain what sort of "heresy" the cathedral was perpetrating that made necessary the extravagant expenditure of funds to build this church in the 1970's. How much of the money could have been spent promoting the Gospel or helping the poor? Was there any other reason to build this church than the desire to perpetuate a calendar invented by a pagan (the Julian Calendar? The story told by knowledgeable persons is that a stubborn, stiff-necked "Ukrainian Catholic" was so dedicated to the scientifically-inaccurate pagan calendar, and so unwilling to conform to the practices of the country that gave him refuge (the United States), that he got into an argument with, and shot, a priest over the cathedral's decision to adopt the Gregorian Calendar.John Paul Parks (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
