Seraphim Rose opposed ecumenism, but he also rejected the Old Calendarist claims of gracelessness, parallel synods, and sectarian purity.Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTDid Fr.

Emmanuel Lemelson’s campaign against Fr. Josiah Trenham and “Digital Orthodoxy” is not neutral criticism. His hierarchy, ecumenist record, hedge-fund persona, and attacks on convert traditionalism reveal the deeper pattern.Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:00:00 GMTWho is Fr. Emmanuel Lemelson?https://followthesaints.com/blog/misquoting-st-paisios/https://followthesaints.com/blog/misquoting-st-paisios/St. Paisios refused to pray with Catholics, worked to convert Protestants, and commanded every Orthodox Christian to generate "good uneasiness" in the heterodox.
