  Intolerant Serbia ?
Nikolaj (Velimirovic), Bishop of Ohrid and Zica, in the calendar of saints of the holy [Serbian] Orthodox Church.
The inclusion of the name of Nikolaj Velimirovic (1881-1956) in the diptych of Serbian saints revived the long-standing public debate surrounding the merits of the bishop's contribution to Orthodox Christianity and to Serbian culture as a whole.
Velimirovic's notes from Dachau, which he is said to have written surreptitiously on scraps of (toilet) paper, were assembled and edited only in the 1980s by his nephew, the former bishop of Sabac and Valjevo, Jovan Velimirovic.

 Serbia: Unease Over New Saint
The Serbian Orthodox Church, SPC, confirmed Bishop Nikolaj Velimirovic, who died in 1956, as a saint at a ceremony in Belgrade's Temple of St Sava on May 24.
Though Velimirovic is acknowledged as a devout churchman and respected religious philosopher, he is also regarded as an anti-Semite who, in 1935, openly praised Adolf Hitler.
The SPC began to rehabilitate Bishop Nikolaj and his work in 1985, with the publication of a national church programme, which contained all the essential elements of Velimirovic's text, A Warning to Serbian Patriots, which spoke of the inseparability of nationalism and religion.

 The Life Story of Bishop Nikolaj Velimirovic - New Chrysostom
During the next four years (1915-1919), Nikolaj was in, in churches, schools, universities, hotel rooms, and other places of England and the U.S.A., trying to explain the just fight of Serbian people, for freedom and against the Austrians.
As soon as the Germans occupied the country, police and military forces came to Zica, and Bishop Nikolaj was isolated and arrested on July 12th 1941.
Bishop Nikolaj had a very difficult path and got to feel all the bitterness of emigration.

 Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro)
Also in the autumn, the collected works of the late Nikolaj Velimirovic were published.
Velimirovic, a Serbian Orthodox bishop, was known for his fundamentalist views.
However, the church is not monolithic and there are a number of clergymen who hold antisemitic views and are followers of Nikolaj Velimirovic (see PUBLICATIONS AND MEDIA).

 Saint Nikolaj Velimirovic
Nikolaj is one of the worse in the history of the Orthodox Church, certainly the worse one I know of in Serbian Orthodox Church.
It is not just the oppinion of St. Nikolaj that I am opposed to as is presented (I would even go to say that if t was placed properly and clearly into the context of Militant Zionism, I really do not I would have any problems with that kind of address).
Since I posted the writings of Saint Nikolaj Velimirovic, if someone wants to say that they contradict the scriptures, they have to do more than just post elements of the scriptures, or even post them and interpret them themselves.

 From Fairy Tale to Holocaust - Philosemites
These excerpts from the article are written in a tone quite similar to that found in a work of bishop Nikolaj 49 years earlier.
Testimony as to this decoration was given by Nikolaj Velimirovic's close relative, a nephew, in a statement to the Belgrade press, which presented him to its readers in this way:
That there is no need to doubt that Nikolaj spent time in Dachau, or that he was housed in comfortable quarters, we are informed by the "Herald of the Serbian Orthodox Church" in 1945, and by an orthodox priest in the article "Priests in the concentration camp of Dachau":

 Antisemitism And Racism
The Serbian Orthodox Church (Srpska Pravoslavna Crkva − SPC), as well as groups associated with it, is known for its ambivalent attitude toward the Jews and antisemitism, and some high-ranking Church officials have been observed at nationalist events.
While on the one hand, representatives of the Church have condemned antisemitic acts and stated that antisemitism is not in the nature of Serbian Orthodoxy, on the other, the Church recently proclaimed an antisemite − Archbishop Nikolaj Velimirovic − a saint.
Some of its members, such as Rados Ljusic, known as the unofficial ideologist of the movement, are known for their radical views.

 Bosnia Report -March - June 2000
Part of the opposition, for example, advocates the Chetnik ideology of Ravna Gora [Draza Mihailovic's initial base in western Serbia at the start of World War II], which is absurd.
In the same way a moral and spiritual Serbian al ternative cannot be provided by Nikolaj Velimirovic [Serb Orthodox Patriarch in World War II], which is another opposition myth, since Velimirovic is a source of the nationalist and antiĂĽEuropean idea.
I do not know what could be offered instead of these notions, no one in Serbia knows it, and that is the greatest cause for concern.

As it is, with their views on Bishop Nikolaj and Father Justin they demonstrate where they stand with respect their own people, tradition and history.
That time has not yet passed but there is no doubt that everything positive in our Church is the fruit of the activities of Bishop Nikolaj, his religious movement and the work of Father Justin.
He was for dialogue, rightly so, but only within canonical limits and with the aim of promoting the truth as preserved in Orthodoxy.

 Poseta Americi Sreda
Why that is the case, I have no answer but I believe it is so because I, as a bishop, am very frequently uninformed regarding many developments at the top of the Church and learn about them from the media.
If they were to accept the views of Bishop Nikolaj and Father Justin, there would be no crisis group nor various international NGOs alienated from their roots, religion and nation.
The best thing they can do is read the works of Bishop Nikolaj and, based on that, arrive at the right conclusions.

 An Analysis of Serbian Propaganda: Part 6
These have been the words of Vladika Nikolaj from the book Words to the Serbian people through a jail window.
It is also interesting that the editors' commentary that frames Bishop Velimirovic"s text does not address what he was doing writing a piece like this a few yards from the gas chambers - or the fact-that he (unlike many of the Jewish prisoners) presumably survived Dachau and lived to see his writings published.
It seems that Bishop Velimirovic continued in Germany the same anti-Semitic policy of the Church in Serbia.

The Russian Orthodox Church, described in the report as historically anti-Semitic, has supported Yeltsin but keeps its other foot planted in the anti-Semitic coalition of communists and fascists.
The well known Bishop of Kraljevo, Nikolaj Velimirovic, whom many members of the Serbian orthodox church look upon as "the sainted Nikolaj", stressed the values of nationalsocialism and racism in his many public appearances and written works.
And thus in the 20th century he came to the idea of St. Sava and as a layman undertook for his own people that most important of all works that becomes only saint, a genius and a hero."

"A most striking example of Serbian antisemitism combined with historical revisionism is the case of Bishop Nikolaj Velimirovic (1880-1956), revered as one of the most influential church leaders and ideologists after Saint Sava, founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church [and "canonized" in 2003].
"To Serbs, Bishop Velimirovic was a martyr who survived torture in the Dachau prison camp.
In truth he was brought to Dachau (as were other prominent European clergy), because the Nazis believed he could be useful for propaganda.
