Orthodox and Old Calendarists

[Charlie_Zeaiter]

Does the Orthodox Church regard the Old Calendarists (you know - the people who celebrate Christmas 13 days after we do) as members of their Church?

 

[Milliardo]

They are considered Orthodox but are non-canonical AFAIK. Sorry, can’t say much there yet…

 

[Isa_Almisry]

Depends on jurisdiction. In Greece, outside of Athos, they are not canonical. The largest Orthodox Church, ROC is on the old calendar, and is fully canonical.

They are all, canonical or non-canonical, Orthodox.

Many Eastern Catholics use the old calendar too. I’m Catholic, and my Ukrainian family has always celebrated according to the old calendar.
