Re: Old GOC-Kallinikos documents?

To return him to our communion. This would dissolve the very basis of the schism, precisely because it was US he had left. So you acknowledge that the GOC entered into communion with a defrocked schismatic monk who presented himself as an Archbishop. This act of the GOC undid the defrocking and ele...

Re: On John (Maximovitch) of San Francisco and the ROCOR

The clergy and laity who left ROCOR did the right thing for the wrong reason? Is this your assertion? How do you know what was in the hearts of these people?
