Excerpt from:Are the Terms "Christian" and "Orthodox" Accurate in Our Times?

Of late, the term "Orthodox" also has ceased in large measure to express what it should, for even those who in fact have apostasized from true Orthodoxy and become traitors to the Orthodox Faith and Church continue to call themselves "Orthodox".

Such are all the innovators, who reject the true spirit of Orthodoxy, all those who have started down the path of mutual relations with the enemies of Orthodoxy, who propagandize for common prayer and even liturgical commuion with those who do not belong to the Holy Orthodox Church. Such are the "renovationists" and contemporary "neo-renovationists", the "neo-Orthodox" (as some of them openly style themselves!), who are clamoring about how essential it is to "renew the Orthodox Church", about some sort of "reforms in Orthodoxy", which allegedly has become "set in its ways" and "moribund". They harp on such things instead of focusing their prayerful attention on the truly essential renewal of their own souls and the fundamental reform of their own sinful nature with its passions and desires.
