Just a clarification:
The Windsors are not Battenbergs. The former name of the House of Windsor was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. Prince Philip is a Battenberg (changed to Mountbatten).

But I don't believe that any Old Calendar synod in Greece would accept Nicholas Planas as a saint, because he was always in communion with the State Church of Greece. HOCNA also venerates Elder Joseph who was a commemorator and opposed to the Old Calendarists.
I find it strange that a letter that was a combination ecclesiological statement and pastoral admonition to his clergy and flock By Met. Chrysostomos of Etna is being treated as private correspondence.
The letter is addressed to the clergy and faithful of his Metropolis. So any recipient should be able to release it.
On the hotca.org website there is a post about a Liturgy at their mission in Bunnell, Florida. In one of the pictures, there appears a large icon on the left wall of Nicholas Planas. Does the GOC-Kallinikos venerate him as a saint?
