Prologue
Question 1
How did the separation over the calendar change in the Eastern Orthodox Church begin? What exactly happened in Constantinople in 1923? Who were the protagonists and what was their objective?
Question 2
Since the Œcumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople decided on the issue of the calendar, is it not binding on all Orthodox Christians? Was it lawful to resist the changes introduced by the Holy Synod of Constantinople?
Question 3
How did the Greek Old Calendar movement begin?
Question 4
Is it possible that the Genuine Orthodox Christians were left without Hierarchical succession because God willed it? After all, how does one know that the persecutions were as bad as claimed?
Question 5
Whence do the Greek Old Calendarists of today derive their Apostolic Succession?
Question 6
Are the Greek Old Calendarists Orthodox?
Question 7
Why are the Greek Old Calendarists frequently referred to by some modern-day “theologians,” clergymen, and podcasters as “schismatics” or as “calendar worshippers”?
Question 8
Do the actions of certain Patriarchs or Hierarchs justify the Greek Old Calendarists in being separated from World Orthodoxy?
Question 9
Does not one need to be in communion with one of the ancient Patriarchates in order to be a part of the Eastern Orthodox Church?
Question 10
If the Greek Old Calendarists are in the right, why have so many schisms occurred within their movement? Is this not reminiscent of the countless Protestant groups that developed after the Reformers’ departure from the Roman Catholic Church? Woud not its numerous schisms indicate that the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece is in the wrong and not part of the Eastern Orthodox Church?
Question 11
Despite the account of the Apostolic Succession of the Hierarchy of the Church of the Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece from the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad, are not the Consecrations from the Russian Hierarchs still of questionable nature, since they were done in secret? How can these acts be justified?
Question 12
Do the Greek Old Calendarists possess Holy Chrism? How is this possible, since they do not receive it from the Œcumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople?
