An excellent, succinct defense, in the form of a pastoral letter, of what Saint Theodore the Studite called “God-pleasing resistance” against dogmatic deviations. Metropolitan Cyprian argues that the Church (“Old”) Calendar is part and parcel of Holy Tradition and proves that the calendar reform cannot be detached from the ecumenical movement. In the light of recent Church events, he also shows why genuine Old Calendarists cannot accept the “Uniate” solution devised by the Orthodox ecumenists in response to divisions in the Church.
