Does it really benefit anyone's soul to write "Church" instead of Church? That seems like mockery to me. I attended a New Calendarist Seminary and it was there that I made my decision to join the Greek Old Calendarist Church. However, despite my objections to the heresy of ecumenism, I know many pious and sincere Orthodox who truly struggled for the faith, but who due to ignorance or circumstance, and occasionally due to real ecclesiological principles, found themselves in the New Calendarist Church. To say to them they are in a "Church" would simply be disrespectful. Who knows who is reading this thread? Anyone in the world could, my friends. Let's be respectful towards New Calendarists and not mock them, while calling on them to release themselves from heresy.

I have found it is simply deleterious to not recognize it is no longer 1984...

There is a lot of truth in what you have said. Still we are not just talking about "New Calenderists", we are talking about the Russian mafia, the KGB and thuggish behaviour often caused in people who have been traumatized in cruel wars. Wars that the likes of Alexis and Palve cheer on and give their "blessing too". That said I admit that some of my zeal comes from anger at myself for remaining so long within the Soviet Church.

Fear donatism. that grace is absent due to the personal sins of clergy, Your opposition seems to be political, and you're entitled to that, but don't have that be your raison d'etre for resistance or for dismissing the MP and Belgrade. You'll find alot of sinister and shady political things going on amongst "resister" groups as well...the Church does not sin: men do.

Well lets put it like this: The Orthodox Empire was one of God's greatest gifts to His people. It restrained the "mystery of inquitity" and it was taken out of the way by the forced resignation of the Tsar which unleashed the Red Terror. The Soviets were cursed by the Church. They were and are as a Russian prince told me very calmly agents of the AntiChrist. They created a fake Church made up of clergy largely from the "Living Church" movement i.e. renovationists. This fake Church endorsed and promoted "Soviet Patriotism" and it's interests abroad through being a channel through which the Church of Rome entered into a non-aggression pact with the Red Terror.

Were the 60 million martyrs between 1917 and 1938 counter-revolutionaires and polictical criminals as "Met" Sergius would have us believe? Even Kallistos Ware wrote at one point that the differences between the MP and ROCOR were RELIGIOUS as opposed too purely POLICTICAL.

We arent talking about fornication or lying or stealing here. We are talking about turning the rites and history of the Church into a tool of dark interests.

Asking your prayers,

Timothy.

Shortly after the soviet regime fell in 1990, His Holiness +Alexis II appeared on CIS television and begged the repentance of the people for his and the MP's collaboration with the "theomachist regime." Indeed, when the MP glorified HNM GD Elizabeth, he distinctly underlined his and the MP's repentance. Throughout the 90s as more and more was returned the Church, he kept repeating his and the MP's repentance. Even brotherhoods such as the Brotherhood of St. Ignaty Branchaninov were formed to chronicle the persecution of the Church. In 2000, a Sobor was called which canonized the Holy New Martyrs, among whom were numbered the Holy Royal Martyrs with COUNCILIAR REPENTANCE. Although insufficient, this council defined its role in the wcc as simply a matter of Orthodox evangelism...Vladimir Putin is an Orthodox Christian. Even Gorbachev has found Christ and is now Orthodox. The communist party openly espouses the need for an Orthodox Russia, not to mention the rest of the government. So I'm sorry to say you're dealing with a paradigm which no longer exists. I am an unapologetic Russian monarchist who endorses state church status for the MP, who has already fought in the cold war: we won. I provisionally endorse the work of Putin.
In the LOVE of Christ,
Rostislav Mikhailovich Malleev-Pokrovsky
The blood of the Holy New Martyrs has ransomed the Russian church from the great sins of the past...
