The KGB has been known to send spies into the Orthodox and Roman Catholic seminaries with the hope that they will infiltrate and rise to positions of power. We can probably say with certainty that this has already happened in all World Orthodox jurisdictions and that ecumenism, relaxation of the fasts and rule of prayer, and ridicule of saints are their diabolical methods of causing the loss of faith.
Has anyone here read AA-1025, The Memoirs of An Anti-Apostle by Marie Carre? It was originally published in France in 1972. By 1973, a group in Canada had published the first English edition, and then in 1991, this little book was republished by TAN books. It is the autobiography of a KGB agent who was born in 1917, adopted by devout Polish Catholics, defected to Russia, and was ultimately recruited as a teenager to infiltrate the Roman Catholic Church priesthood, to subvert Vatican II by switching to a more liberal agenda, to trash the Tridentine Mass, and to implement the Novus Ordo, which the Vatican now has. This KGB agent, who was probably ordained as a bishop or even served as a Cardinal, said that there were many other KGB agents who were teaching in seminaries, who had attained positions of power, and who were even serving as bishops and cardinals in the Vatican.
If the communists could infiltrate the Roman Catholic Church, there is every reason to believe that they could have already infiltrated the various churches in World Orthodoxy (Antiochian, Bulgarian, Greek, Romanian, Serbian, and Russian). In the two biographies of Saint Nectarios that I have read, it was mentioned that the good saintly bishop was aware that unbelieving masonic bishops were already at work relaxing the rules of fasting, introducing the New Calendar, and advocating a mandatory college education for all clergy along with the wearing of modernistic clerical clothing (sans frock and sans facial hair). St. Nectarios fought against this modernism at the seminary where he taught, but he was ultimately forced to resign so that he could devote more time to the female monastics at Aegina who needed his direction and protection. Remember that St. Nectarios died in 1920, but by that time, the communist revolution of 1917 with the subsequent slaughter of millions of Russian Orthodox Christians had already succeeded. By that time also, the ideology of Marx had long ago infected France, where "Roman Catholic" KGB agents were already at work planning the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church.
Yes, the Communists allies of the Devil know how to infiltrate organizations, and perhaps the apparent fragmentation of True Orthodox is a way of preventing heterodox ecumenist bishops from seizing power over us all. And then notice how the World Orthodox accuse us of constantly breaking up? It is necessary for our survival to separate from the ungodly. Hence, many True Orthodox Christians separated from HOCNA and other morally compromised groups.
