I'm with you. Moreover, the man is a flat-out liar. If the Chicago church on Diversey is too far to go (where this self-ordained wazoo is supposedly a parishioner!--don't the Armenians remember how to excommunicate?), there's one in Evanston, which is much closer. But wait...it gets better. There are TWO Armenian Apostolic churches in Waukegan, which is almost right next door to Lake Bluff!!! If the guy were an Armenian Protestant (which he's not) there's one in Rogers Park. If there's an Armenian Uniat church in Chicago, it escapes my memory. I am also sure that if he were concerned about his disabled family members any Armenian priest would make a pastoral call at his request. Regardless, the guy is a fraud and a shame. He bears as much relation to religion as Laetrile and coffee enemas do to medicine.

I have objections to Pope Janko determining what is or is not a legimate religion. I think his list is up to one, the complete list being WELS, that conservative Lutheran organization with roots in Neanderthal, Germany.
But:
"He bears as much relation to religion as Laetrile and coffee enemas do to medicine."
He's learning.
