	Encyclopedia: Greek Old Calendarists
		Greek Old Calendarists (Greek: Î Î±Î»Î±Î¹Î¿Î·Î¼ÎµÏÎ¿Î»Î¿Î³Î¯ÏÎµÏ, Paleoimerologites) are groups that separated from the Orthodox Church of Greece or from the Patriarchate of Constantinople, precipitated by disagreement over the retention of the Julian Calendar.
		By 1937, the number of Old Calendarist Bishops had been reduced to four, and the movement split within itself over the question of whether or not Orthodox jurisdictions that had adopted the modified Gregorian Calendar were still Orthodox.
		The first one is simply called the GOC, another the "Matthewites" as they derive from Archbishop Matthew and the third and smallest are called the Makarians (formerly called the Lamians) who broke off from the GOC when some of their bishops were accused of immorality and called to ecclesiological court.

		Greek Fir (Abies cephalonica) is a fir native to the mountains of Greece, primarily in the Peloponnesos and the island of Kefallinia, intergrading with the closely related Bulgarian Fir further north in the Pindus mountains of northern Greece.
		Greek Fir was important in the past for wood for general construction, but it is too rare to be of significant value now.

		First and foremost, the New Testament was originally written mainly in Greek (and the oeconomia ensured that the jewish and syro-chaldaic originals written were translated into Greek immediately by the authors).
		Secondly, the Old Testament's original translation saved to date is the Greek one as the Jewish one was lost (only a small percentage of the original has been found today).

		Nationalists are like the Old Testament Jews who crucified Christ because he was not a political and nationalist leader who wanted to free the Jews from the Roman Occupation, but a spiritual leader who wanted to free them from the spiritual occupation of their hearts by the devil.
		Some of the old calendarist sects, for instance, are 100% 'pure' as regards the calendar or ecumenism, but they are full of homosexuals, pedophiles and money-lovers.
		If the old country is an Orthodox one, they will tend to continue to practise their religion, albeit on a superficial, purely ethnic level, and without the foreign ('unAmerican') language.

		Likewise, Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Florina, the "Father" of the Greek Old Calendar movement, was, at his death, praised as a great pastor and spiritual Father by his former Deacon, Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras.
		I am an Old Calendarist zealot because, in the ancient Eucharistic and Hesychastic tradition of the Church, I believe that the purpose of spiritual life is spiritual enlightenment, union with God, or theosis.

	OLD CALENDARISTS ARE IN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH
		We Old Calendarists are doing nothing more than this, having walled ourselves off from an ailing part of the Church, hoping that it will be restored through the health which we maintain in our own members.
		So it is that we moderate Old Calendarists have stated that—until a general and truly right-believing Synod of the whole Orthodox Church condemns the innovators— they are with Grace.
		The political lies of the modernists and the hatred of the Vatican for the Old Calendarist resistance to papism notwithstanding, we Old Calendarists are not outside the Church.

		His fundamental idea consisted of the proposition that ‘the old world has been destroyed, and a new one is rising on its ruins’.
		And when Constantine became king of Old Rome, even the pivot and crown of the Babylonian system, the worship of the god-man-emperor, was transformed into its opposite and the God-fighting satanocracy of Old Rome became the God-loving theocracy of the New Rome.
		The tragedy of Greek and Balkan Orthodoxy in the twentieth century consisted in the fact that, while overthrowing the admittedly uncanonical system of dependence on the Ottoman rulers, the Orthodox subjected themselves to the still more destructive forces of nationalism, on the one hand, and westernism, on the other.

	Auxentios.htm
		This book very well and capably covers certain aspects of the history of the Greek Old Calendarists from their inception to the recent past.
		The general effect of this manipulative methodology is that more recent events in the Old Calendar movement, many of them compromising to the HOCNA, are covered with such imprecision and in such a distorted form as to reach beyond mere historical interpretation to something more like transparent propaganda.
		The concluding comments in the historical section of the book, which touch on the current situation among the Greek Old Calendarists, are uncharacteristically irenic, given the sometimes unflattering caricatures of those whom the HOCNA apparently perceives as its enemies and as Old Calendarists of questionable character and intent (our own jurisdiction chief among them).

		Archbishop Anthony, in his reply to a question concerning concelebration with new calendarists, wrote that he himself was not intending to serve in accordance with the new calendar, but in principle it was possible to serve with new calendarists.
		The fact that Vladyka Philaret had no “sympathy” with such new calendarists is witnessed, at all events, by the fact that he strove in every way to support and strengthen the movement of the Greek Old Calendarists.

		No, that is a Greek Old Calendarist practice, we belong to the Russian Church and would not follow the practice of another local Orthodox Church.
		Russian Old Calendarism, as I would call it, appears to be going the same way, with a host of numerically insignificant groups, all claiming to be the only 'canonical' Church.
		Patriarch Alexis himself is caught up in the middle of it and he is, perhaps as a result of that, a very ill man. Only when a new Patriarch, who has no KGB associations, is elected, can there be administrative unity between the two parts of the Russian Church.

	A Short Response to Father Thomas Hopko's Defense of Ecumenism
		Thus, two Greek Old Calendarist Bishops, who derived their Apostolic Succession from the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, were recently received by Constantinople as "schismatics" and were reportedly re-Baptized, re-Ordained, and re-Consecrated.

		In 1995 Mkalavishvili - then a Georgian Orthodox priest in Tbilisi's Gldani district - harshly criticised his Church for its membership of the World Council of Churches (it has since withdrawn), accusing Patriarch Ilia II of the 'heresy of ecumenism' and of 'aiding and abetting sectarians'.
		He was excommunicated, but later joined the Greek Old Calendarists under Metropolitan Kiprian.
		Levan Ramishvili, a researcher at the Liberty Institute in Tbilisi, claimed in an interview with the 'Kavkas' television company on 23 January that 'Vasily has links with the interior ministry and the security agencies, who are using him to destabilise the situation to demonstrate to the world that Georgia is not yet ready for democracy'.
