I think Rdr John summed it up well at the end there.

[@orthodoxtraditionalists]

Except tons of New Martyrs did call the MP graceless, that they did create a schism and were schismatics and they did say the MP was outside of the Church. All the talk about reading the lives of the Saints and clearly that hasn't been done in the case of the Russian Catacomb Church.

[@WoodchuckNorris.8o]

Could you please give me a couple of the best examples?

[@WoodchuckNorris.8o]

@disgrunteledvet03 thank you I just printed a copy. I look forward to reading it all. But to start with, on page 453, Boris Talantov, (MP in 1971) "Boris Talantov was an honest man who kept the Orthodox faith to the end and his Christian conscience clean; and therefore there was simply no place for him in the Soviet system -- except prison". The act of glorification is attached to this volume, which includes Boris Talantov, and the act is signed by Metropolitan Philaret. If MP was considered absolutely graceless, how can they have a saint recognized by Metropolitan Philaret, who GOC considers a Saint? I respect GOC very highly and I do not doubt that Metropolitan Philaret is a saint but you understand the point.

Father Seraphim Rose Disagreed and did not say they were without grace but he also said that communion with them at such time was impossible until the soviet government fell

[@3devdas777]

The three people on the video, are they even in communion with each other?

[@T_Wozna]

Address the content of the video for everyone here to see.

Father how can I reach out to you directly?

[@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics]

I can be reached through nftu.net, euphrosynoscafe.com, Twitter or Gab under NFTU, or on our Discord

Fr. Heers and his other buddy Fr Mikhail from 'Living Orthodox' attacked me for calling them out on their BS reagarding the fact that walling-off IS A REQUIREMENT from the faithful, in particular relating to the unholy Synod of Kolymbari 2016 however Ecumenism has been happening for over 100 years now... Anyhow, my question to you 'True Orthodox' did you not create your own Synods uncanonically and thus breaking off from the body of the Church and thus you are in fact in schism?

[@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics]

104 years, if we're being technical. If a Synod becomes heretical and the remaining Orthodox Bishops wall themselves off and begin a separate and Orthodox administration, then they have not broken off from the Church, they have preserved Her. That's what Canon XV is about.

[@sammyog3475]

​@@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics very difficult to find churches / bishops /priests that have walled-off... I have personally walled-off the Church ... we have to travel 1,000kms to get to a Church / priest that has walled-off! Our local Churches swallowed up by the heretical archdiocese here in Australia.

[@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics]

@@sammyog3475 There are True Orthodox in Australia.

[@sammyog3475]

@@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics from my understanding and research, hasn't GOC / True concecrated their own Bishops, created their own Synod, have more break off than the protestants? and thus breaking off from the body of the Church ? therefore in schism?

[@NFTUOrthodoxApologetics]

@@sammyog3475 If the innovating bodies don't repent, doesn't it make sense that they would create their own Synods? From the perspective of canonical order, they'd have to. And there are about 30 or so True Orthodox Synods *around the world*, mostly along geographical lines and who all have the same beliefs, over 100 years. That's "Protestantism" to you?
