Re: The Romanian Old Calendar church and St. Glicherie

...OC hieromonks like Fr. Glicherie could receive them into the OC movement in Romania with their orders intact. That’s the point. And that is exactly what St. Matthew did. As a hieromonk, St. Matthew received through absolution three repenting Greek New Calendarist Bishops. No doubt, St. Glicherie...

Re: The Romanian Old Calendar church and St. Glicherie

My point is that in the absence of any synod condemning the New Calendarists and actually applying canonical penalties to them, they could be dealt with economia. After that, they were strictly condemned by the resulting synod and were treated with Akrivia. New Calendarist Romanian parishes were ne...

Re: The Romanian Old Calendar church and St. Glicherie

In the 1950s, the Romanian Old Calendar church continued its apostolic succession from a New Calendarist bishop whose ordination was after the calendar schism. St. Glicherie reposed in 1985, wouldn't this make his sainthood, and the entire Romanian Old Calendar church invalid? If the form of the sa...

Re: ROCOR and Freemasonry

Actually Fr. Glicherie DID meet Metropolitan Matthew who did want to consecrate him bishop. But this was the time when Met Chrysostomos was in Jerusalem trying to garner support for the GOC. So since he was unable to confer synodically and the communists were coming to power, Fr. Glicherie was forci...
