When a bishop falls into heresy then we must call it out and pray for correction. And if the bishop does not return to the truth, we are obligated to find a bishop who confesses the True Faith. Today we have bishops that state openly and with bare head Orthodoxy is not the One True Faith. They preach that the fullness of grace and the Holy Mysteries exist outside the Orthodox Church. Bishops who not only embrace the papal calendar, but who want to abandon the Orthodox Paschalion. There are bishops who still embrace and do not reject sergianisn. There are bishops who join in prayer with the heterodox, in violation of the canons. There are bishops who are free masons. There are bishops who give Holy Communion to Roman Catholics and to those who reject the Seven Ecumenical Councils. And on and on. Are we to obey these “bishops”? Do we follow those who are not shepherds, but wolves? God forbid!
