Not a defense of Porphyrios by any means, but he was involved with the "Schism of Montaner", he visited Italy and along with bishop Albino Luciani, who later became Pope John Paul I, convinced most of the people of the village of Montaner to join the New Calendarists.
Only difference was Albino Luciani convinced the people of Montaner to become New Calendarists because of how unlikeable he was, whereas Porphyrios was apparently rather likeable.
That story about Porphyrios and the gold doesn't ring true to me.
If it had been, then everyone would have recounted it and the monastery would have preserved the "miracle story" forever after.
Is there any independent source for this account ?
I thought i recognized Bishop Gerasim, formerly of Platina.
I must have said this awhile ago, but he doesn't look at ALL like the same person. Did anyone else notice this ?
Was it joining the OCA that could have done that ?! What a bad choice, just to be made a bishop perhaps.

Is there a source on this?
It was mentioned in his official biography the EP put out, at least the English version. I may still have a copy of that somewhere around here. I will reply in a few days if I have it.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
Okay, so now that all the Putin cough I mean, ortho cough bros are dusting off the same old prophecies, I must say it again explicitly.

Elder Theodoros Agiofarangitis did not prophesy this in the Lord.
IT IS NOT TRUE. WHAT WAS PREDICTED DID NOT HAPPEN.
The Jews did not attack the nuclear program of Persia overnight this weekend. They--or mostly their American vassals--performed a general strike on the overall leadership and military of the Persians, of every kind of installation and program. An attack on the nuclear program happened LAST YEAR. Knowing that it would eventually happen is also not prophetic power--a brain dead moron could have seen it coming decades ago because they have been campaigning for it the whole time.
Erdogan DID NOT get removed from power at the time of the attack on the nuclear program. He also did not get removed from power shortly before. Ol' dude seems pretty happy to me.
NO events of greater magnitude were initiated by the strike on the nuclear program.
Relations deteriorated, wounds were licked and stockpiles refilled, and indeed the war has only now gone hot. Current events are broadly related to last year's events, but no more than they are to the entire series of events which have been simmering for decades as they built up to the eventual hot war.
You cannot allow someone to make false prophecies about things which are obviously going to get ugly in the medium term, then creatively reinterpret those prophecies AS IF they matched the clearly different events which you see unfold, just because they match those few details which were bleedingly obvious to anyone anyway.
They most certainly do not get to wait for some fraction of the different details to happen, independently and out of order, not linked to each other in the way they were stated to be linked, then claim long after that they came true. That's just a way of obfuscating the fact that they did not come true. I'm 100% certain Erdogan will be out of power eventually--that doesn't make it prophecy.
“When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: THOU SHALT NOT BE AFRAID OF HIM.” --Deutoronomy 18:22 with some emphasis for the slow boys.
Wasn't it the new-calendarist Metropolitan Neophytos of Morfou that was out there promoting this prophecy?
It must be repeated (I've said this before), that this Met. Neophytos of Morphou has shown himself to be completely unreliable and untrustworthy, even completely deluded.
To tell the truth, I can't rule out the possibility of him being a Mason. The secret society, which plans out these sorts of wars and strikes decades in advance (yesterday and today are Purim, you know, when the Jews celebrate getting revenge on their enemies, the Persians), could even possibly supply someone like this metropolitan with inside information in advance about their plans, so he can go out and issue "prophecies" regarding events that have been scripted to come to pass in the future. After having established credibility in the eyes of the people in a cunning manner, when everyone begins to hanker after these pseudo-elders for their "prophetic" insight, then they will endeavor to purposefully mislead folks in some other way.
The following is the sort of delusional stuff coming from this Met. Neophytos. Fr. John (Romanides) was an ecumenist heretic, who had many strange teachings and uttered blasphemies. To call him the last great Greek theologian of the 20th century, is just plain ridiculous.
Is Fr John Romanides Orthodox? A Positive Case
[Met. Neophytos]: "Father John Romanides was the last great Greek theologian of the 20th century. He was an academic and ascetic priest, and the manner of his writings reveals a continuity and a knowledge of empirical theology that all faithful men had upon reaching the state of illumination. How could an academic theologian write so clearly on the purification and healing of the nous, if he had not personally experienced purification?"
Here is further evidence of his total delusion (or complete disingenuousness). Met. Neophytos in an interview, dared to say that Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow, whom the ROCOR publicly declared to be a KGB agent, reminds him of St. Tarasius or St. Methodius!
Could there not be a clearer contrast between the outlook of (old) ROCOR, and fallen "world Orthodoxy"? Old-ROCOR (pre-submission to Moscow) calls Alexy II a KGB agent, while this new calendarist Cypriot Met. of Morphou compared him to the great sainted patriarchs of old!
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
"His Holiness Patriarch Alexy of Moscow—I say this with emotion—reminds me of the Byzantine patriarchs after the period of iconoclasm, for example, Saint Tarasius or Saint Methodius, who lived in the ninth century and helped many other Churches, because Byzantium was then a worldwide empire. They helped the Church of Constantinople and many others understand that the icon of God must be glorified, and that if we glorify the icon of God, then man too will have glory and grace both on earth and in heaven. This is precisely what is happening now in the Russian Church. Your Patriarch is a great source of unity for Orthodox bishops and the Russian people. Russia is in dire need of a unifying force. Neither Soviet nor any other ideology can provide such a source of unity, but only the Orthodox faith in its true scope, in its true dimension—without fanaticism, without superstition, and without nationalism. And I think that both your Patriarch and your metropolitans and bishops serve precisely these goals."
Святейший Патриарх Московский Алексий — я говорю об этом с волнением — напоминает мне византийских патриархов после периода иконоборчества, например, святого Тарасия или святого Мефодия, которые жили в IX веке и помогли многим другим Церквям, потому что Византия была тогда была всемирной империей. Они помогли и Константинопольской Церкви, и многим другим понять, что Божия икона должна прославляться, и что если мы прославляем икону Божию, тогда и человек будет иметь славу и благодать и на земле, и на небе. Именно это происходит сейчас в Русской Церкви. Ваш Патриарх является великим источником единства православных епископов и русского народа. Россия крайне нуждается в объединяющей силе. Таким источником единства не может быть ни советская, ни любая другая идеология, но только православная вера в ее истинных масштабах, в ее истинном измерении — без фанатизма, без суеверий и без национализма. И я думаю, что и ваш Патриарх, и ваши митрополиты и епископы служат именно этим целям.
Folks should know, the so-called "Highway of Death" massacre at the end of the Gulf War, during the presidency of George H.W. Bush, was scripted to take place on Purim.
It was on the Jewish feast of Purim, March 17, 2003, that President George W. Bush delivered a televised address from the White House, giving Saddam Hussein and his sons a 48-hour ultimatum to leave Iraq or face a U.S.-led military invasion. The "Shock and Awe" aerial bombing campaign was launched a couple days later, on March 19, 2003 after the conclusion of Purim.
March 19, 2011, Obama authorized 'Operation Odyssey Dawn' NATO airstrikes on Libya, the day Purim began.
The Israeli attack on Iran this past June 12, 2025 (U.S. time), June 13 (local time), was scripted to take place on George H.W. Bush's birthday.
All these wars were planned out decades in advance by the kabbalistic secret society that rules over the world. I've written about them extensively over the years.
These wars, including the present one in Iran, the staged and faked Hamas attack on Israel on Putin's birthday, October 7 (the 22nd anniversary of the commencement of the invasion and war in Afghanistan, October 7, 2001), the war in Ukraine, etc. are all planned out decades in advance by the J-M Sanhedrin.
I have also written previously how the Illuminati script calls for wars to coincide with the Olympic Games. Putin was with Xi and Hu Jintao in China for the Beijing Opening ceremonies on August 8, 2008, watching two thousand and eight Chinamen beating the drums of war, when Medvedev ordered tanks to roll into Georgia.
Putin (back in power after a short hiatus, due to term limits), annexed Crimea in 2014, a few days after the closing ceremonies of the Sochi games.
Putin ordered (at the behest of his Z'st handlers) the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, just four days after the closing ceremony in Beijing.
Trump ordered (at the behest of his Z'st handlers) the war to commence on Iran five days after the closing ceremonies in Italy. Italy has the same colors (green, white, red) on their flag as Iran. The only difference is the orientation (vertical vs. horizontal).
Of course, the locale where the Olympic Games are slated to be held are also decided decades in advance by the secret society (SS), in fitting with their occult agenda.
One: we were both wrong about Purim attack timing. Since speaking on that, I have come to learn that rabbinic practice demands attacks on their enemies the Sabbath before Purim, hence the date that the initial attacks were begun.

On Metropolitan Neophytos: I don't believe for one second that he's a Mason. Quite the opposite--his delusion indicates to me that he is likely one of very few NON-Masons in the Greek state hierarchy. The false hierarchs, many of them known Freemasons, routinely canonise any and every popular, traditional-seeming elder who tells people to stay under false bishops and wait for change that will never come. These false elders are very popular among the weak-minded and deluded laity who do not know the true Fathers of the Church and go around, like Protestant Charismatics, seeking out spiritual experiences. Leaders themselves do not believe in the teachings of these elders, and do not propagate them except for very specific convenient bits. They do not repeat the traditional honey with which the poison is served, as they are wicked and have no interest in advancing traditional Christian moral teachings. They also do not repeat silly false prophecies, which they do not believe and probably (rightly) believe would make themselves look stupid in the eyes of their allies in the world. Metropolitan Neophytos does all of this. The implication seems to be that he really believes it. He is one of the silly, shallow people running after spiritual experiences. Notice how the prophecies he repeats are standard teachings of the pseudo-saints (although not repeated by their bishops), and how many of them he also reports to have personally heard from the mouths of these pseudo-elders. If alcoholism weren't such a bad idea, the Metropolitan Neophytos drinking game would be a shot when he says “Saint Iakovos told me.” (*Of Evia.) He is notorious for ridiculous statements, the one which gave him notoriety was that God “gives homosexual children” to parents who practice uncleanness in marriage. This is ridiculed by liberals not because it is false but because it dares imply something negative about sodomy. Yet his defenders--the traditional World “Orthodox”--defend him by rightly pointing out how he is simply repeating the explicit teaching of their “saints.” For the Orthodox it is much easier: God is not the author of evil. Surely people do invite such demons into their lives and families by willingly associating with their works, but Christ God did not give anyone sodomy. Blasphemy!
Nope, not a Mason methinks, their gatekeepers accidentally let the kool aid drinker though. They probably didn't have enough of their own and put him in as someone who didn't openly oppose their agenda, much like how Jews are also forced to do because neither group can muster sufficient numbers of their own semi-competent people to cover every single position they need to fill, nor do they have the absolute control in every case to just veto all non-members.
Lastly, and more importantly: You have ascribed FAR too much power to the Jews. For certain they have great institutional power in ZOG but they are not omnipotent. They simply cannot control history in the manner which would be necessary for them to script out all the wars, etc. in advance. That power belongs to God.
“The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.”
The way they actually do this is much like all occultists--by co-opting common symbols, performing lots of weird public rituals filled with symbols, and claiming credit for doing things which they did not even anticipate, in addition to also planning wicked deeds. Wiccans claim e.g. the pentagram as “their” symbol*, allowing them to fool their members and gullible non-members into believing their claims of ancience because the symbol has existed for a long time. Freemasons do it with the double-headed eagle, the number 33, square and compass, etc. All of them do this and it is a very easy trick to spot. When various unplanned things happen during their wicked activities, it looks as if they had planned everything out in advance and as if they had planted secret messages revealing those events long before, in their public rituals (incl. movies). The fact that they do plant such messages in some cases makes all the other, unplanned ones look believable.
(*Wicca was invented in the 1950s. The pentagram is, in and of itself, just an interesting geometric construct because to construct a regular pentagram or pentagon with a compass and straightedge is a cool trick which requires a certain amount of mathematical education. Pythagoras used it as an entrance test so that only those who had already been educated in maths would be allowed into his mystical school, which was occult. Other, retarded cargo-occultists saw the symbol used but could not understand its significance, which is how irregular, freehand pentagrams continue to be used even until this day by uneducated losers who think that it gives them mystical power. Completely negating the original meaning because the point was not the shape but proving that you can construct it with exactly equal side lengths. Now the dumb losers do invite spiritual powers to themselves, just not in the way they think.)
Another thing which they do to help the trick work, is to fool people into doing things by suggesting it, then claiming credit as if they had predicted it or even made it happen by powerful world-altering magic. One ridiculous example is covid lockdown and “warp speed.” Normies didn't do it because it was a rational idea, nor because of Olympic Game opening shows, nor because of black candles and chalk in a dimly lit room. They went along with it, thinking it was a great idea, because it is what works in movies, in video games, and in novels. It has been presented for decades as a measure which works. In every second scifi film, there is a lockdown during which the heroic scientist develops gene-editing super-cure (without any actual scientific methodology) and it works as a deus ex machina when he tests it on himself before injecting everyone else, saving the world and also ending the lockdowns. In reality this is a stupid idea, but the brain just does not dismiss what it saw in fiction as fundamentally different from reality. This brainwashing is also a form of magic--it's just a rather mundane one, and one which acted as much on the occultists themselves as on the rest of the population. They also don't need to be in control of all of entertainment to do it; it only takes one occult or demonically manipulated writer to publish the idea before other writers start copying it.
Yeah, okay, I know that was a really long-winded way to say “Jews are not omnipotent.”
