A MATTER TO STUDY AND PONDER: What Makes the Cyprianites..."tick"-?
March 1, 2008
If you have the patience to read and digest this document (&then..perhaps other formative statements, about themselves & their detractors, etc. on the Synod In Resistance web), you may get a clearer picture of the main positions of that synod ...and hints as to why? they are so heavily attacked/misunderstood, etc. (Of course, OTHER than the modern fact of all the self-appointed "armchair-cannon law EXPERTS!")-God Save Us and Our Holy Orthodox Church from them!!!
See: http://www.synodinresistance.org/Theology_el/E3a3a009cOrthodoxosEnstasis.pdf "The Orthodox Resistance Against the Ecclesiastical Heresy of Syncretic Ecumenism".
*Note: From this document alone, one can easily see some fundamental Greek/Russian church, HISTORICAL..differences (i.e. differences of each church's exact problems)...and that internal-Greek Orthodoxy...and post-Bolshevik Russian Orthodoxy, have some things in common, and much that is not the same. Hence, some of our current...misunderstandings, especially of the critics of the Cyprianites ...and also similar criticisms NOW thrown against our Vl. Agafangel who is in full communion with them....etc.

The Church declares who is and is not a heretic, not individuals.

QUOTE
“LET THEM [the schismatics] not flatter themselves if they think they have Scripture authority for their assertions, since the devil himself quoted Scripture, and the essence of the Scriptures is not the letter but the meaning. Otherwise, if we follow the letter, we too can concoct a new dogma and assert that such persons as wear shoes and have two coats must not be received into the Church!”
Blessed Jerome, + 420 A.D
