Let's be honest about ROCOR

[haralampopoulosjc]

Bishop Leontius of Chicago serves a panikhida with Roman Catholic bishops.

It seems like the source conflated Archbishop Seraphim of Chicago with Archbishop Leonty of Chile. The person in the photo seems to be Archbishop Seraphim.

Thank you, that makes sense. Archbishop Seraphim [Ivanov], as i recall.

Is he the one wearing glasses, looking down at the prayer book from which he is reading ?

Who is that to his left, then ? Looks like wearing a panagia, so must be a bishop.

Any idea when this took place ?

Saint John of San Francisco concelebrated with and communed New Calendarists from the Greek Archdiocese. He did this all the way up until his death.

I won't mention Fr. Seraphim Rose because this site seems to be 50/50 on whether or not he was a saint.

My point being that the ROCOR wasn't as walled off from World Orthodoxy as some people claim.

In 1965, from my quick Wikipedia search, the caholic archbishop of Marseille was not called Marcel but Marc-Armand Lallier : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc-Armand_Lallier

Where do you sour sources come from? A magazine, a review, an old website ?
