Thanks, Cyprian, for explaining that Vlachos' mentor was Romanides. Helps me put everything into perspective.
But I agree : you said it right. All I really need to know is that the former is a New Calendarist.
I like understanding all this, and appreciate everyone's input.
Why on earth are even traditionalists promoting Fr Sophrony and the False Paisius of Mt Athos, considering them Saints ?
This part I really don't grasp.
It's surprising, though, that even here, members were spouting the Name-Worshipping line and not even listening
when Cyprian and Philoteus tried to wake them up.
Thank you, Maria, for explaining the conundrum of any members remaining in Hocna ! Who could even think a soul would stay there ? That paints the picture of why many have failed to transfer to a suitable jurisdiction. I agree, they should flee at the earliest chance, when the respected relatives repose or are no longer paying attention to Church matters.
