Ukrainian Orthodox Church Persecution Reaches U.S. Congress

My comment:

The "Ukrainian Orthodox Church" was set up by the "Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople". The Ecumenical Patriarchate was captured by modernist Ecumenists led by freemason Meletius Metaxakis who issued the notorious 1920 Patriarchal Encyclical which recognised heretics and schismatics as part of the Church, as well as proposing unity with them without any repentance by them and banning proselytization of them.

This was a follow up from the 1916 Central Powers occupation of 2/3s of Romania imposition of the Gregorian Calendar for all Christmas celebrations. This was resisted by traditionalists led by St. Galaction. Way back in 1867 the Romanian Synod had unanimously vetoed the attempts by the prince of Romania to adopt the Gregorian Calendar for Religious purposes. But, by 1916 decades of studies of Romanian Orthodox clergy in heretical western institutions had done their work, and most did not resist.

In 1923 the Ecumenical Patriarchate, with its affiliates the Romanian Orthodox Church, to which it rewarded them with "autocephaly" and recognised a Romanian "Patriarch", along with the Churches of Greece and Cyprus paracanonically introduced the "New Julian" Calendar (which coincides with the "Gregorian Calendar" until 2800 for fixed feasts, whilst using the traditional Church Calendar (aka "Julian" after Julius Caesar who introduced the calendar it is based upon, though this was modified by Augustus Caesar, the first Roman Emperor, in whose reign Christ was born) for its Paschalion and fasts and feasts linked to it, as established at Nicaea).

Worse still, it allowed its affiliate, the Church of Finland, to introduced the Gregorian calendar for all feasts and fasts.

The para-canonical Robber Synod of Constantinople of 1923 initially deceived the Moscow Patriarchate under Patriarch Tikhon into thinking that a unanimous consensus of the local churches had agreed to the calendar changes, and to going along with them by introducing the New Julian Calendar by phases. This introduction was immediately resisted by some of the monks in the monasteries it was introduced in.

The Moscow Patriarchate had been separated from much communication by the Russian Civil War, which was drawing to a close (in 1924 the Japanese evacuated from the Far Eastern Republic, resulting in the final victory of the Soviets except in those areas, the Baltic States, Finland, Bessarabia and a small area around Batum which had been ceded to Turkey by Treaty, on the fringe of what had been the Russian Empire which they had failed to conquer). As soon as they realised that they had been deceived, they suspended and reversed the reforms.

Finland was later followed by its fellow paraconical affiliate of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Church of Estonia, paracanonically stripped from the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), in introducing the Gregorian Calendar in its entirety. The Estonians have, however, since sensibly reverted to the traditional Church Calendar (aka the "Julian Calendar").

Both of these new calendars, the Gregorian and the para-Gregorian elements of what became the New Julian had been explicitly condemned at local and pan-Orthodox synods, as well as by encyclicals and decretals dating back to 1583, just after the 1581 Romanist Papist innovation of the Gregorian calendar.

Even before this, in the 14th century, proposals to change to a purely solar calendar were rejected by the (Eastern) Roman Empire, and this was explicitly confirmed through the continued use of the

Indeed it had always been observed, since the time of the Old Testament Church, that we must separate out Ecclesiastical time, which is in accordance with the cycle of the heavens (and on which parsecs (space-time (as borrowed by the popular science fiction programme "Star Trek" with its "Star Dates" system is based), from the solar time which we use to plant and sow crops (using, anciently, sun dials to help with this), as was noted by both ecclesiastical and civil authorities. This was noted by the saints, such as St. Bede.

St. Bede, writing shortly after the Celtic Churches had come into line, following the Synod of Whitby, with the English Church and the rest of the Patriarchate of Rome and the West, at the Synod of Whitby, in his writings on time, including De Temporibus, noted that we should note the time differences in terms of the planting and harvesting of crops (for which his still extant sun dials on the outside of his still extant church in Jarrow still serve as an accurate guide), but continue to celebrate the fast and feasts. St. Bede died in 735 AD. The Church New Year follows the Old Testament calendar, and thus now falls on September 1/14.

That is why the date, correctly written out in full, acknowledges all of these systems. So, for those of us on earth today´s date in full goes as follows: Tuesday 4/17 December 2025 Anno Domini (AD) / 7534 Year from Adam and the Creation of the World (YFA). The civil calendar of Mount Athos continues to observe purely the church calendar. And so "17 December" would generally be dropped there, except for some external correspondence which requires it for civil administrative purposes, with the rest of the World. Many of the saints, such as St. John Maximovitch, only ever wrote church dates, including on his cheques (which has the practical consequence of reducing the date of validity of the cheque by 2 weeks in some places).

Ecumenical, pan-Orthodox and local synods have continued to reject all other systems, and a number of miracles, such as the annual reversal of the flow of the River Jordan to go up hill on Theophany (January 6/19) continue to happen for the Doubting Thomases amongst us.

There has also been divine protection through miraculous appearances of the Holy Cross, witnessed by thousands of people, on the Feast of the Holy Cross, in Greece. In Athens in 1925, Crete in 1938 and in Piraeus in 1984. In the latter case a colour photo was taken by a 15 year old schoolgirl taking part in a parade. This was later published in the big glossy book about Ecumenist betrayal, in Greek, Philemata Judason - Kisses of Judas.

There is a solution for the those who are victims of the Ecumenical Patriarchate´s paracanonical creation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and their paracanonical unilateral subsequent elevation of them to the status of a "Patriarchate" and the Zelenski Government´s imposition of the New Julian calendar upon them and total state control, and that is to leave Ecumenist, heretical World Orthodoxy (condemned under the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) 1983 Anathema Against Ecumenism, inter alia) and that is to repent and join the only fully canonical, and therefore valid, successor Synod of ROCOR, The True Orthodox Church of Russia under the Omophorion of First Hierarch Metropolitan Archbishop Tikhon of Omsk and all-Siberia, which has a cathedral in Odessa.
