Metallinos wrote extensively about the Romaioi vs. Franks in the modern period; I submit that the Fener has gone over to collaborate with its civilizational adversaries in order to find new relevance in the long war against Russia and its sphere of influence. Patriarchs of C’ple have been splitting the Orthodox world, and even the Greek Church in order to cozy up to Europe and marginalize the Russian and other Slavic Churches. <br />Hellenes (there aren’t any more Romaioi) would rather alienate themselves from the mainstream of Orthodoxy — steadily moving away from its norms now for 150+ years — than simply be part of a cohesive community of faith. The Phanariot only wants a Church that privileges Hellenism above all cultures and will make any deal with the devil to maintain their Romaic dream.

He makes an issue out of not calling the heterodox churches churches, but he supports a patriarch who does exactly that. This is what drives people to the Greek Old Calendar churches.BorisJojicjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796218761394313699noreply@blogger.com
