Brother Nathanial has a long way to go to be considered a salos. Real saints produce miracles.
Compare him with these:
Brother Nathaniel is a religion
scholar who shares his knowledge, observations, and critique in a unique style via his videos, but doesn’t claim to produce miracles so I don’t know where you got that from!
Some more interesting facts about "Brother Nathaneal".
He is not recognized by the Russian Orthodox Church in any official capacity and the Russian Archbishop has requested that he repent as his views are not held or recognized by the Church!
Concerning his relationship with the ROCOR, he also notes that he "speaks and writes ... not in any official capacity with ROCOR."[1] A July 19, 2013, statement from Chancery of the Synod of Bishops of the ROCOR declares that Kapner but has no relation to the ROCOR diocese in which he lives and that his "actions ... do not have the blessing of the Synod of Bishops."[8] The statement further urges him to cease his activity on the internet and to repent. The statement was signed by Archbishop Kyrill, who is the ruling hierarch of the diocese in which Kapner lives. In a forum post, a person claiming to be Kapner insisted that the person who gave this declaration was "blackmailed for alleged homosexual activity"[9].
Kapner claims to enjoy the support of Bishop Jerome; however, Bishop Jerome was involuntarily retired by the ROCOR on July 10, 2013, during an Extraordinary Session of the Synod of Bishops.[10] Bishop Jerome was censured and stripped of his episcopal duties and rights.
Someone claiming to have known Kapner personally, identified only as "Fr. John," has stated that the real reason Kapner was rejected from Dormiton Skete was his lack of discipline, not because of any political conflicts. During the course of their relationship, Kapner supposedly revealed to him that he suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder and bipolar disorder, had been hospitalized many times, frequently failed to take his medication, and had cut off all relationships with his old friends and family. "Fr. John" characterized Kapner as a "very dangerous [and] angry" man who "often threatened to hurt people." [11]
White supremacists have been known to distrust Kapner due to his claims of being ethnically Jewish. Andrew Anglin of the popular fascist blog, fittingly titled Total Fascism, wrote that "first and foremost my opposition to him is because he is a biological Jew."[12]
Opinions of Kapner on Stormfront also seem to be mixed. User Sturmgeist88 feels "his motives for running his site realjewnews "[sic]" and converting to Christianity are less than pure,"[13] and jimdoe alleges he is "a homosexual nutjob".[14] Either way, infighting sure is funny.
Also, there are rumours that he is gay and suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is Bi-polar!
