He seems to believe that frequent communion is a bad thing for the laity, and makes it very difficult to approach the Holy Mysteries. Very strange.
I have heard that too, but the Kirykite priest I asked about it said it is not true. So what is definitely true is that the teaching of the Kollyvades fathers on frequent communion was definitely maintained in the GOC since the majority of the clergy were all Athonite Hieromonks.
