There he settled in Skete Kapsokalivia where as a novice he spent another year with those who mention Bartholomew because they still did not know for zealot fathers. There he met zeilot fathers and decided to break communion with the World Orthodoxy. After breaking communion with the World Orthodoxy, in Mount Athos he became a monk from Serbian heiromonk Raphael and Serbian Hagiorite Monk Daniel. That monastic tonsure was in catacomb conditions of persecution because when Bishop Akakije departure from those who mentioned Bartholomew that meant his illegal stay on Mount Athos. Based on sued of Serbian Monastery Chilandar police asked to kick him out from Mount Athos. Then the Bishop Akakije seriously ill and was forced to move to Athens to Archimandrite Philaret monastery. The day after, in monastic cell, where he lived with a Serbian monk Daniel police arrived with a warrant for the arrest of Bishop Akakije. If he was arrested would be expelled from Greece with the prohibition of return to Greece which would mean termination of the mission of True Orthodoxy in Serbia.
How shameful spectacle is see those who call themselves "True Orthodox" attack a real struggler for true Orthodoxy as Bishop Akakije, who has been persecuted and still is persecuted by the Ecumenist and "Secular" authorities, while these true Orthodox attack and speak from the comfort of Greece or USA, countries with which their own Hierarchy have "links of friendship" with the "secular" Masonic authorities, who are enemies of the Orthodoxy. Their lack of Christian Love has not limits.
