I think that Fr.Seraphim rose of Eternal memory was talking about those super correctedness of those who could not rightly verify an apostolic succession- meaning one of the synods breaking away for reasons of maybe personal opinions rather than Heresy being demonstrated or preached...
in fact if you ever heard him talk , he always refered to some of the Orthodox synods as being OFFICIAL and UN-OFFICIAL

The problem here lies that we are giving any credibility to "LMP" at all. He doesnt even live in Greece presently, perhaps he did at one point and couldnt make it and moved back to N America, or visited for 2months and likes to tell people he lived there. But he lives in N America, he lied about where he lived to try and further his other lies about Met Kyrikos.
Also let it be noted that LMP is a florinite, which have always had to make things up in order to justify their existance. And the other comment which he made which speaks volumes about him and the florinites is "struggle from inside" . perhaps he inherited the flip flop mentality from his "holy father" chrysosotmos of florina, and LMP can flip flop between the florinites and Kyprianite synod just like chrysosotmos of florina flip floped 10-15 times about being Orthodox or betraying the GOC. Also LMP, just so we can prove what a complete liar and icon of your synod you are, since you say "their is via official statements, to be the only Orthodox bishop in the entire universe..??" Please provide 1 official statement from Met Kyrikos that is signed where he states "I am the only Orthodox bishop in the universe" . The only person that is convinced of your lies is you, because they unfortunatly are reality only to you, these 500,000 people you speak of, who are they? Im sure you know all of them, and there names are all George and Maria, and they all live in the town in which you live in greece, and they are coming over for dinner tonite, and they are all very nice people, right LMP? Please stop lying, or stop talking about things you have no idea about, it is unappropriate behaviour for someone calling themselves Orthodox, especially right before pascha.
Sir, you really made me laugh!
First of all I'm not from Florina, I'm from Messinia, so how can I be a "florinite"...??
Secondly I don't consider Metr. Chrysostomos Kavourides of blessed memory as MY "holy father". By the way, do you imply that your "holy father" is Mathwaios Karpathakis and "holy mother" is Mariam? Am I right?? So, it fits you well to call you all "Mathweites" (that's the germ of hero-worshipping..)
Thirdly, I've been to N. America only once!!!* Also, their names are not only Giorgos, Maria but Kostas and Eleni too! 
Moreover, if you know Greek, read the Metr. Kyrikos' magazines "ΓΝΩΣΕΣΘΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ" and "ΟΡΘΟΔΟΞΟΣ ΠΝΟΗ" and then let's talk !
Compare the Mathweites' synod with ROCiE and you will find the answers to questions like: "Why this synod has been left only with 30 priests and a bunch of old bishops??" **
Last but no least, do not try to post comments here to this forum when you are angry or mad at someone..! Count up to 100 and then give it a shot!
Christ be with you!
I really do not find this a laughing matter but on the contrary quite sad. You are probably 2-3 generation OC, and you have no idea about the history, ecclesiology, or confession of faith of the GOC, you are just some guy that found himself in the OC, and has no idea why you are even there, just mindlessy repeating things like a parrot. Sad. To prove this point that I just made I wish to go back to your comment you made.. about fighting from within, this statement contradicts the legitimacy or justification of ANY OC group in Greece, and not only makes you appear ignorant about the GOC but a traitor to it as well. Also I receive all of Met Kyrikos publications so please tell me what you know, enlighten me, it is not likely I will believe you as you cannot even be honest about where you live. Please stop lying or stop talking about things you know nothing about, you choose, BTW who are you voting for Hillary or Obama?
This is getting nowhere. And considering that the Sunday of St. Mary of Egypt is approaching..perhaps, both you men should reflect on what is truely require of us.
She left a life of prostitution and complete ravishness of the flesh. And you two can't even discuss this issue with friendliness?
Do either of you have the ability to measure yourselves?
If Great Lent can't even make an impression on you boys, about restraint and spiritual contemplation, then you are, in my opinion, wild boars.
Great Lent is a time to MAKE an effort to change our ways. To the secular world, that would be New Years Day. Right? New Year's Resolution? What's that about? It's the world's version of Great Lent, since they lost the connection to God.
The holy fathers teach that we strain ourselves to bear fruit during Great Lent so that we can carry it on through the rest of the year.
Great Lend isn't just a means of controlling ourselves during the 6 weeks(which, by the way, you two are doing a lousy job), but it is a platform to establish a growing concern to continue into the rest of the year. Great Lent is our strength and rejuvenates us. It's suppose to be carried on, not just experienced for the moment.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. (Ps. 50)
