ICB,

After dodging (as was expected) you wrote:

"By his admitting that he assumed it, does DrDrV demonstrate that he did not prove it. Nor has he yet proved it."

ICB actually expects someone to prove that there is supposed to be a Patriarch of Kiev. Does ANYONE deny that there is supposed to be one? Does any Orthodox Christian do so?

All of this is just more dodging on ICB's part, of course.

"All Orthodox would agree that the a bishop of Kiev - is to be determined by Orthodox Kievians. And of course, DrDrV failed to prove that I am Kievian."

So, de facto, is ICB claiming that one has to be Kievan to be Orthodox? And notice he still can not tell us who the Patriarch is? Have not the "Orthodox Kievians" decided? No? Gee, why can't they come to a conclusion on that?

When will ICB get the courage to answer the original two questions?
