De exemplu in '26 parca, Biserica Oficiala a Greciei prin vocea Arhiepiscopului de atunci a afirmat ca "vechii-calendaristi" greci, defapt ortodocsii care pastrau Sfanta Predanie nestirbita nu mai aveau Har!
BOR la fel a facut cu drept-credinciosii in '30!
Asta nu e grav?
Am mai spus: daca marturisim Adevarul, sa marturisim tot Adevarul! De exemplu, cei de la razbointrucuvant dau numa' parerea Parintelui Serafim Rose referitor la validitatea tainelor Patriarhiei Moscovite. In acest caz nu sunt sinceri! De ce nu arata si parerea Sfantului Mitropolit Filaret, Mitropolit al ROCOR-ului referitor la validitatea tainelor PM care afirma:
I should also like to note the following. The Catacomb Church in Russia relates to the Church Abroad with love and total confidence. However, one thing is incomprehensible to the Catacomb Christians: they can't understand why our Church, which realizes beyond a doubt that the Soviet hierarchy has betrayed Christ and is no longer a bearer of grace, nevertheless receives clergy of the Soviet church in their existing orders, not re-ordaining them, as ones already having grace. For the clergy and flock receive grace from the hierarchy, and if it [the hierarchy] has betrayed the Truth and deprived itself of grace, from where then does the clergy have grace? It is along these lines that the Catacomb Christians pose the question.
The answer to this is simple. The Church has the authority in certain cases to employ the principle of economia condescension. The hierarch Saint Basil the Great said that, in order not to drive many away from the Church, it is necessary sometimes to permit condescension and not apply the church canons in all their severity. When our Church accepted Roman Catholic clergy in their orders, without ordaining them, she acted according to this principle. And Metropolitan Anthony [Khrapovitsky], elucidating this issue, pointed out that the outward form successive ordination from Apostolic times that the Roman Catholics do have; whereas the grace, which the Roman Catholic church has lost, is received by those uniting [themselves to the Church] from the plenitude of grace present in the Orthodox Church, at the very moment of their joining. The form is filled with content, said Vladyka Anthony.
In precisely the same manner, in receiving the Soviet clergy, we apply the principle of economia. And we receive the clergymen from Moscow not as ones possessing grace, but as ones receiving it by the very act of union. But to recognize the church of the evil-doers as the bearer and repository of grace, that we cannot do, of course. For outside of Orthodoxy there is no grace; and the Soviet church has deprived itself of grace.
