Fr. John Romanides on the Greek Old Calendarists

There are over one million Old Calendarists in Greece who suffer humiliating persecutions. In reality, they are the true devout Orthodox in the traditional sense of the term, faithfully observing all feasts and liturgical customs. In their homes, one finds the Philokalia and all the splendid translations of the Fathers made in the past century. In the homes of the pious of the official Church, one finds Guardini, [1 word – Blondel?], Holzner, Pascal, etc., but not even a single Father of the Church.
