Theyre everywhere. In every religion

ordoboxy, due to autocelaphous and patriach system, naturally is very prone to fall victim to this..I guess non-valid-Order catholic groups can count as "fake" too? at least those ones in peru, brazil, nigeria etc wherein the priests just want to get married but keep charging money (SIMONY) for rites.
lots of ordobox scams in latam, because most people don't know what orthodoxy even is, and many have fallen discontent with both pentescostals and catholics...or want something "exotic" and "new"

phony\fake "synoc"\new schismatic offshot chuch...there HAS to be a reason for this, other than mere money..Legitimate schizophrenia?

>is a non-canonical Orthodox organization of the so-called "neo-Andreevtsy", which proclaims its succession from the "Catacomb Church of True Orthodox Christians" - "Andreevtsy" (from Archbishop Andrei Ukhtomsky of Ufa). The RCC TOC also includes groups of Old Believers - "Klimentovtsy" (in Siberia), "Josephites", "Danilovtsy", etc. In fact, this organization is one of the largest catacomb falsifications. Of the Old Believers, only about 20 people joined it, who were for some time in the Old Believers, but did not have Old Believer roots and came from various right-wing radical parties like the RNE. From the RCC TOC of Archbishop Ambrose, which arose in the mid. 90s of the twentieth century. and self-proclaimed "IPKh", two communities in Cheboksary separated, "Portal-Credo.Ru" reports. The initiator of the split was the leader of one of the communities, Dmitry Rutsky, who calls himself "Dmitry Anathemat", who proclaimed himself "acting locum tenens of the Gotf Archdiocese".

> According to Dmitry Rutskoy, Sievers identifies Christ and God the Father - Yahweh, preaching monophysitism and antitrinitarianism, and also believes that the Universal Church has fallen into semi-Aryanism since the Second Ecumenical Council, and the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed is heretical. Indeed, it is known that Ambrose, on behalf of his "church", rejected the sanctity of St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, Blessed Prince Dmitry Donskoy, Venerable Paisius Velichkovsky, St. Philaret Drozdov. He filled their place with other saints: he canonized Adolf Hitler as the "promised Leader-Liberator, like the ancient King Cyrus of India or Alexander the Great" and blessed his icon ("Saint Ataulf Hitler of Berlin")

>It is known that in 1994, at a certain "Consecrated" council of the "Russian Catacomb Church of True Orthodox Christians of the Old and New Rites", the Gotf diocese, abolished in 1779, was restored, and "bishop" Ambrose was appointed "archbishop of Gotf and all the Northern Lands of the Catacomb Church". Demonstratively refusing state registration, "archbishop" Ambrose conducts active informational, doctrinal and ideological activities on the Internet.
>After 1996, when Guriy (Pavlov) died, not a single "catacomb" bishop remained alive whose succession would go back to the episcopate of the said communities and would not be subject to doubt. In the 1990s, some communities that emerged from the underground sought spiritual guidance from the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia and various jurisdictions of the Greek TOC. However, the overwhelming majority of "catacomb" communities are still not connected to each other or any registered churches, uniting only around their mentors. The total number of "catacomb" communities now (as of 2009) apparently numbers several hundred (hardly more than 1000) people.
>Since 2001 the initiator of the creation and "spiritual father" of the "Russian Orthodox National Socialist Movement" (RONSD), whose members greet each other with the words "Sieg Heil!".

I>n the letter with this proposal, he used the original title - hereditary emperor Romeev, as well as Archbishop Gotfov.
>One of his first high-profile political actions took place in 2007 on Red Square in Moscow. Ambrosy read a prayer-spell directed against Vladimir Lenin, who was buried in the mausoleum. Sievers himself called the leader of the revolution the demon VIL. Immediately after the end of the action, the hero of our article was detained and spent some time in the police station. -
>During the services he regularly holds, wooden crosses are burned, which is a clear reference to the Ku Klux Klan.
>The hero of our article is convinced that Adam was an exclusively white man. And any changes in hair and skin color are associated with sins and the curses that inevitably follow them.
