Why fr. Akakios shows such ungratefulness?
Despotovac wrote:Assertions like this are not new, the Parish of Smederevo has spread such information’s for several years now.
Why is fr. Akakios sowing discord not only among Greeks and Serbs but also among orthodox brethren inside Serbia?
Despotovac wrote:What canonical release is in question and where are the Serbian priests going to and why ask canonical release from Greek bishops?
What (or who..?) made fr. Akakios stop being faithful and obedient to his lawful Synod and hierarchy?
Despotovac wrote:Some Serbs, alas, claim that Greek old-calendarists have made some new “Serbian church” that has nothing to do with Saint Sava`s Serbian Church
The assertion that Serbian Church has disappeared and that it has to be restored from the beginning like Greek mission among Aborigines or African tribes is totally absurd.
They need this Schism to justify Greek faceless exarchate on canonical territory of Serbia.
Why is fr. Akakios trying to charge to his lawful hierarchy his OWN assertions? The Orthodox Church of Christ (!) in the territory of Serbia is under restoration a quite time now, and it is a wish of all TOChristians to see the Orthodox Church in Serbia (and not the Serbian Church) to the glory of St. Savvas' era with episcopacy and parishes and monasteries! And of course the presence of a bishop would promote this pleasing to God task! But let's all let the Synod decide.
Despotovac wrote:It is true, though that we, Serbian priests are temporarily under administrative rule of Holy Synod of Greek TOC, but only until Serbia receives its own bishop.
Let's be frank! "own bishop"..i.e. fr. Akakios? Who elected him? Who anointed him as the only candidate? Were there any council in Serbia where all the parishes participated and elected him?
Despotovac wrote:Serbian priests were ordained by Greek TOC as help of Greek Church to sister- Church in Serbia[...] Even today`s Archbishop became a bishop overnight when bishops Kalist and Antony made an exemplary schism
Let us also remind to fr. Akakios that this "overnight consecrated" Archbishop Kallinikos baptized and ordained him a priest and by his blessings was sent to Serbia, an empty area from True Orthodox people, for missionary reasons.., instead of keeping him serving in a monastery of Greece.
Despotovac wrote:Everything and anything is being written these days. Serbs are always in disagreement.
This makes profound that fr. Akakios is already determined! and for what thing is determined to..! even if RTOC denies to cooperate at last..
Let us make our own assertion now. Someone next to fr. Akakios has swollen his head and forces him to take up the hall matter on his own shoulders unilaterally as if all the Serbian clerics and faithful unanimously has asked him so! Otherwise we can't explain such a tremendous turn 180 degrees and changing to his character and way of thinking!
Priest Siluan wrote:I find very right the Father Akakije`s clarification about this important question for the the true and canonical Serbian Orthodox Church, and it is very interesting that some people in GOC are forgetting their own story and their own past.
fr. Siluan your blessings. The history of TOC of Greece has nothing to do with the "Serbian matter". These are two different stories. In Greece there was a continuation of True Orthodoxy even after the schism of 1924 . And back in 60's there was an already established and organized Orthodox Church which was left without bishops. And it was at the second panhellenic counsil of TOC clergy and faithful where they elected the candidates and decided to whom to turn for help.
... so you actually do think we are Africa thanks
