Orthodox Extremism: A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

This video of Hieromonk John Vasilevski below was given to me by an Old Calendarist who considers himself a member of the "True Orthodox Church". People in the "True Orthodox Church" are Old Calendar extremists who in their paranoid and over-simplistic mentality consider all New Calendarists and those in communion with them to be on par with heretics and in league with the Antichrist in their misunderstanding of the Holy Canons and Holy Tradition. Because these people appear to be very pious and look very traditional and are so focused in their cult-like mentality (something which too many pious Orthodox have fallen for throughout its history over the centuries, ex. Arius and Basil the Bogomil), they have lead many Orthodox astray to be cut off from the communion of the Orthodox Church in their pursuit of an ecclesiology that is in fact opposed to both Holy Tradition and the Holy Canons.

Below is a talk which reveals all of the above clearly. Beware of wolves in sheeps clothing!


Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
