მეუფე პეტრე: მამალაძეს პატრიარქი თხოვდა სოდომური ცოდვის ფილმები ეჩვენებინა
როცა მამა გიორგი მამალაძე, პროკურატურის საქმეში არის კონკრეტული პუნქტი, სადაც მისი ტელეფონი როდესაც გაიშიფრა, იქ არის სოდომური ცოდვის ფილმები ნანახი. რა თქმა უნდა, მან პასუხი არ გასცა. მე გავცემ პასუხს - ის ამბობს რომ არაერთგზის საღამოს კათალიკოსი თხოვდა…

Many of the Greek Old Calendarists were also not against communism and praised it:
Met Chrysostom of Florina: “This triumph of the Church [in Russia] was achieved via the all-sustaining power of Christ, using the Excellent Commander Stalin as his means and organ, and his glorious collaborators and military men, who, together with the First-Hierarch [Sergius Stragorodsky] and the hierarchs of the Russian Church published the pact of the State with the Church [the "Sergianistic Declaration"], and “this is the alteration of the right hand of the Most High!” [Psalm77:10].”
-Chrysostom of Florina, "Memorandum
Regarding the Future Pan-Orthodox Council," Athens, 1947, p. 21

On September 20, 1975, St. Philaret wrote to Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kition, the leader of the Old Calendarist Church of Cyprus, with whom He continued to have friendly relations even after the Matthewite Synod to which Epiphanius belonged had broken communion with ROCOR:
“From the beginning our Russian Church has known that the calendar innovation was unacceptable, and has not dared to move this boundary set by patristic tradition, for the Ecclesiastical Calendar is a support of the life of the Church and as such is fortified by decrees of Holy Tradition. However, it is obvious to all that the calendar innovation caused a schism in the Greek Church in 1924, and the responsibility for the schism weighs exclusively on the innovators. This is the conclusion that will be reached by anyone studying the Patriarchal Tomoi (as that of 1583) and taking into account the wretched and self-evident fact of the schism and the frightful punishments, persecutions and blasphemies which those who have cleaved to the patristic piety of Holy Tradition have undergone. Thinking in this way, our Holy Synod has decreed that we ‘flee’ concelebrations with the new calendarist modernists. We do not concelebrate with them, nor do we give permission or a blessing to our clergy for such a concelebration. In order to assure you of the truth of what we say, we inform you that whenever a community in the diaspora is received into our Church, they are required to follow the patristic Calendar of the Orthodox Church…”

HOCNA was formed in 1988, when multiple ROCOR parishes obtained there own autocephaly from the ROCOR, for example, when Viktor Potapov became the rector of St. John's Cathedral, the deacon (Fr. Seraphim) of the parish left and established the Church of St. Kosmas (which was ROCOR) but later became part of HOCNA after 1988 (like Holy Transfiguration Monastery), from here, HOCNA slowly fell into the heresies of imnaslavie and soul-sleeping, and this was during the time ROCOR's apostasy. Philaret of New York says:
> "After my death our beloved Church abroad will break three ways .... first the Greeks will leave us as they were never a part of us ... then those who live for this world and its glory will go to Moscow ... what will remain will be those souls faithful to Christ and His Church."
- Philaret of New York (1985 A.D)
The Greeks is "HOCNA" because they were apart of ROCOR but fell away, the second is obviously a prophesy of members of ROCOR apostatizing through there "going to Moscow" (The Sergianist "MP"), and those faith to Christ and His Church is the true continuation of ROCOR which is the ROCOR under His Emminence, Metropolitan Agafangel, who is in communion with us members of the GOC-Kallinikos which received holy ordinations from the ROCOR as affirmed by Philaret of New York:

St. Chrysostomos never "declined" per se, but rather, St. Nikolai couldn't fly to Greece at that time + this was in the late 40's/early 50's, which is the time that St. Chrysostomos and Bl. Matthew came to a common agreement in 1950 (the year when the Great Confessor Bl. Matthew reposed), in which St. Chrysostomos ordered His Holy Synod to receive ordinations from the Matthewites in Greece before He blissfully reposed in 1955 ☦️
“We cannot fraternize with the fierce enemies of our Orthodox Christian faith, as our enemies are doing, since we consider this a betrayal of Orthodoxy and a crossing over to the side of its enemies…We can also not partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ together with the heretics, who are distorting the dogmas of the Christian Faith, or with the modernists who are overthrowing the spirit of our faith and piety handed down to us from our holy Fathers. [...] It is not we who are breaking off with the Universal Church, but they who are breaking off relations with us. The Universal Church consists not only of those living on earth but also of those Saints who have pleased God and been glorified in Heaven, having left us to preserve Holy Orthodoxy, unaltered and without deviating from Her...”

"...We feel very much the dangers ahead of us: true Orthodoxy can be swallowed up by half-hearted Orthodoxy, which is actually only a stage on the path to fake Orthodoxy (Constantinople, Metropolia, etc.). The schism of Evlogy and the Metropolia was a blessing from God, because it cut off many rotten members, the fake intelligentsia that wants to make a new Orthodoxy..."

He hesitated [Chrysostomos of Florina] to make an absolute and definitive statement on Grace from 1937-1950, but than after meeting with Bl. Matthew of Vresthene (before He blissfully reposed) they came to a common agreement in which St. Chrysostomos the New Confessor of Florina signed the 1950 Encyclical that repeats what was divinely said in the 1935 Encyclical

Seraphim Rose clearly shows His praise of the The Church of the GOC of Greece by explicitly identifying them as one of the last Orthodox Christians Juridisctions that is staunched in traditionalism and the faith of the Holy Fathers through which with the True Orthodox Church of Russia (The Russian Orthodox Christian Catacomb Church) and the ROCOR (which at that time was True Orthodox) are the last Orthodox Jurisdictions standing against the apostasy of our times which He identifies as the apostasy and heresy of your world orthodox hierarchs, and that by the grace of God they will leave them and be joined to Genuine Orthodoxy

This page was actually removed in later publications by the notorious abbot Damascene who also stopped publishing the Russian Catacomb Saints by Ivan Andreyev and Seraphim Rose, due to the fact that 1) it clearly spoke against the "Moscow Patriarchate" which you sadly attempt to defend, and 2) has entire sections affirming True Orthodox Christianity

A typical Eastern Orthodox polemic against the West is the argument that the concepts of Monastic Orders and Monastic Reforms are inherently not Orthodox. For the “Western Orthodox” LARPers these posing a issue since there was Monastic Orders founded and Reforms done before the schism.

The Title of “Athleta Christi” was given to both Vlad and Stephen III (who the Romanian Patriarch canonized in the 1990’s) by the Pope which would be evidence that they were in fact Catholics:
“Stephen the Great of Moldavia, called by Pope Sixtus IV.
Vlad the Impaler of Wallachia, called by Pope Sixtus IV.”
