..."will not the awesome judgment of God fall upon our heads, if we do not enlighten our erring brothers?"--Metropolitan Philaret.
"An error which is not resisted is approved: a truth which is not defended is suppressed...He who does not oppose an evident crime is open to the suspicion of secret complicity."--St. Felix III of Rome.
The main concern of the GOC-K (HOTCA) is building their jurisdiction and acquiring money, even if this means having disqualified bishops. What they consider to be "true" or "genuine" Orthodoxy, is of second importance to them. The GOC clergy did not take a strong enough stand against the 2002 Encyclical violations, and this indifference in them led to union with the Cyprianites, which I predicted would happen even before I knew these groups were in dialogue. I believe many (if not most) Old Calendarist clergy are in their positions for their own vain glory, and not for reasons of faith.
In the Book of Revelation, Christ honored the churches in Ephesus and Thyatyra for exposing false teachers. And he criticized the church in Laodicea for it's lukewarmness. Indifference toward deviations from the faith is characteristic of modernism, religious tolerance and a lack of love for God and what one believes to be truth.

GOC HOTCA Communes NEW CALENDARISTS!

A zealot from Greece told me before the GOC-Cyprianite union, that the GOC Kallinikos/Pavlos church gives Communion to new calendarists 100 percent of the time in Greece, and 90 percent of the time in America.
The GOC priest, Father Steven Allen, told me that if I am waiting for a time when all their priests will stop giving Communion to new calendarists, I'll be waiting a long time.
Metropolitan Ephraim of HOCNA once told me that what I reported about the GOC in another video (now deleted) agrees with his own experience; that the GOC says one thing, but does another.
The RTOC Bishop Stefan once told me that he was reluctant to go into communion with the GOC (Pavlos) church because of the fact they commune new calendarists.
Vladimir Moss once told me that if I ever witnessed a GOC priest giving Communion to a new calendarist at a GOC monastery I was once considering joining, then to leave the monastery.
Metropolitan Pavlos' Own Words:
"At Saint Markella's [Pavlos' church] thousands of our Greek people attend services. But I have a problem of conscience because they are the spiritual children of Bartholomew, all of them. They belong to the Church of Bartholomew. I belong to the Church of Chrysostom who has specifically stated that we are not to provide the mysteries to those who follow the new calendar. Yet I provide the mysteries to the followers of the new calendar." (Interview given to Theodore Kalmoukas of the National Herald, which was printed in that paper's issue of Tuesday, May 24, 1994.).
[Mettropolitan] "Pavlos candidly admits that he provides the Mysteries to those who follow the new calendar innovation. This policy continues to this day." (The Struggle Against Ecumenism, p. 123).
..."the bishops of the Synod of Chrysostom Kiousis have also lauded the Moscow Patriarchate!" (The Struggle Against Ecumenism, p. 123). This is inconsistent with the so called, "TOC" position.
Metropolitan Pavlos Slandered a GOC Priest.
