Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou – Elder Evmenios and the Relations of Orthodoxy with Papacy

This text is about the providential experience that the blessed Elder Evmenios Saridakis had, when he attempted to memorize a papal in the Offertory. What does this signifies? It’s exactly what Saint Nicholas Cabasilas theologizes: “Through the sacraments the Church is signified, body of Christ and members… The Church is signified in the sacraments, not in the signs, but as part of the heart…” Elder Evmenios, as all contemporary saints and Elders of our Church (Saint Porphyrius, Saint Paisius, Elder Iakovos Tsalikis) with absolute consciousness and awareness of what is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church, but also knowing the many doctrinal differences between Orthodoxy and Papacy and other heterodoxies, they have never prayed together with Christians of another creed and, of course, they have never memorized heterodox personas in the Holy Offertory, since only the members of the Orthodox Church are memorized.
