In “One Hundred Years since the Calendar Reform,” Metropolitan Clement of Larissa and Platamon delivers a incisive critique of the modern ecumenical movement, highlighting its impact on the integrity of traditional Christian liturgy. This book provides a scholarly yet unyielding analysis of the 1924 Calendar Reform and its lasting repercussions.
Metropolitan Clement contends that the Calendar Reform was not a mere update, but a radical deviation from long-established Church practices. He argues that rather than being a progressive step forward, the reform paved the way for an ecumenical agenda that compromises the sanctity of traditional feasts. While numerous faithful and clergy remained steadfast in their commitment to the Church’s enduring traditions, the new calendar was imposed under the guise of unity—a unity that, according to Metropolitan Clement, has been exploited to cloak doctrinal dilution.
Central to Metropolitan Clement’s argument is the assertion that the push for a unified Pascha—a hallmark of modern ecumenism—signifies not progress, but a surrender to heterodox influences. He asserts that what was once a celebration deeply rooted in historical conviction is now at risk of being overshadowed by a misguided pursuit of broad, often superficial, ecumenical consensus. Additionally, the rise of the Neo-Papal “Primacy” in the Church of Constantinople is depicted as a perilous heresy, signifying a break from genuine ecclesiastical authority and tradition.
This book is an indispensable resource for anyone questioning the modern ecumenical impulse and striving to uphold the enduring truths of Church tradition. Seize this opportunity to critically reassess a century-old reform and reaffirm the values that have long defined the true spirit of the Church.
