"It's been long since I last saw such pure souls!"
In this very beautiful and inspiring testimony, Angeliki Stephou, a spiritual daughter of St. Porphyrios (+December 2, 1991), recalls her trip to Italy together with St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia and her parents. During this journey she witnessed an unexpected meeting of St. Porphyrios with the Catholic nuns of a remote convent.

If the nuns had pure souls and followed a wrong teaching that doesn't make the teaching pure, what you're saying doesn't make sense. There's good people and actually pure good souls in every single religion, the only issue is they don't manage to find their way to God. It's not the faith that made their souls pure, it's because their purity that they will find God in his Church, catholicism is in heresy unfortunately but we pray you will condemn them heresies one day and return to Christ's Church.

God only revealed One Faith, One Worship, One Church - the Orthodox - right believing, right-practicing Church. God, Christ, His Body cannot be divided. To say such things is blasphemy, and calls God a liar - once delivered to the Saints, One Faith, One Baptism - there is no other 'church' - there is only ONE truth. St Photius: "If indeed the Son is begotten from the Father, but the Spirit proceeds from the Son, according to their own opinion, will not impiety relegate the Spirit to the position of grandson and turn the tremendous mystery of our theology into protracted nonsense?" (On the Mystagogy of the Holy Spirit, 61 - 96). St Nicodemos the Hagiorite (+1809) writes concerning the Papists: "So, following what has been said, since the form of the Apostolical Canon demands it, we declare that the baptism of the Latins is one which falsely is called baptism, and for this reason it is not acceptable or recognizable either on grounds of rigorism or on grounds of economy. It is not acceptable on grounds of rigorism: (1st) because they are heretics... (2nd [regarding economy]) The latins are unbaptized because they do not observe the three immersions which have to be administered to the one being baptized, as the Orthodox Church has received instructions from the HOly Apostles... So the Latins cannot even perform a baptism because they are heretics and have lost the grace required to celebrate Christian rites."

Actually, the three immersions are practiced on and off, depending on local traditions. I’m a former modern Latin, converted to Western Rite Orthodoxy, Antioch Vicariate, but my Baptism is recognized because my baptismal priest was OLD School Irish. (It’s also notable that the Irish resisted the Gregorian Reforms longer than anyone else in the West). However he was gentle with babies, so you’d probably complain that I’m not valid because he didn’t slam dunk me each time like someone pushed off a high diving board.

It was at the beginning of the Novis Ordo madness that has left countless Latin monasteries EMPTY since then.

I was a traditional Catholic once and I can say, coming from that point of view, that this prophecy is very wishful and far-fetched thinking. St. Porphyrios was very clearly Orthodox, with a capital O. He is known as St. Porphyrios the Athonite. "Athonite" signifies Athos, an EO monastic micro-nation on a mountain, where he is from. He would never have said what you are saying. It’s not hard to see that the fruits of the Roman patriarchate have proven over the centuries that it is not legitimate. Pope Francis’ decision to activitely persecute the practice of the Tridentine Latin mass with his latest restrictions, on top of his outward support for the "Abrahamic Family House" in Abu Dhabi, is very clearly not in consistent continuity with the popes who came before him. Without consistency and continuity in the Papal See, the idea that they are infallible and all passing down the same Christian faith in the unique charism of St. Peter becomes untenable.

Here is the good Lord Jesus say's to His visionary Valeria Copponi July 21, 2021.. I, Jesus tell you: have respect for My church: One; Holy, Catholic and Apostolic, and you will see the glory of God. What is true cannot be confused with what is merely lies. I repeat to you: My Church is One-with My Passion and Resurrection, I brought unity for all My children. True Christians will have to struggle just to bear witness to the true church. My little ones children, My human life was certainty not easy, but My Father sent Me precisely to testify to you about the importance of faith. The Catholic Church--Apostolic, Roman-- is the one that can testify to God, One and Three. Always remember that at all times satan has tempted My children, especially regarding this truth. Your enemy will still be your tempter for a little while, but you have My help and that of My Holy Mother; entrust yourselves to our protection and we assure you that you will not be subject to any anguish.

God is not the Author of Confusion. Here are three ideas that are among the most confusing in the world today: ALL the Cannons of Vaticans 1 AND 2 are “true”, and Bogolio of Argentina is the ‘pope’ and his Liberation Theological encyclicals and Pope Benedict 15th’s explicit condemnation of modernism in HIS encyclicals, are “both” valid. This is double thinking madness. Of all Roman errors since Charlemagne’s rouge Bishops set out to conquer that Patriarchate, all that has arisen since 1960 has been ACTUALLY driving people mad. A perfect microcosm of this preventable tragedy is the Author of “A Canticle For Leibowitz” and “Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman”. The stark contrast of Hope and despair between these two books exemplify the sense of betrayal and abandonment loyal Roman Catholics have suffered at the hands of such false priests as Bogolio. No wonder the Author finally killed himself, as surly as Romanism is committing suicide by contradiction.

It would have been interesting if he could have debated Padre Pio in light of all the harm Bugnini was then causing and how that disproves Vatican 1. That anti-priest did as much harm in one generation to the Latin Rite as all the erroneous popes since 1054 COMBINED.

The Orthodox Church has not signed anything allowing its faithful to accept sacraments from papist priests - I don't know where you got this information. Furthermore there is nobody in the Orthodox Church who could approve such a document on behalf of the whole Church (we do not have a pope, though we have a couple pretenders) except a council of the whole Church, and such a council, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, would never approve any such document with heretics and schismatics (God forbid!)
