The terse & rude non-reply of Met. Moses, to this GOC layman, who has complained to him about his interference into our internal ROCA
church affairs,- by Met. Moses being so openly friendly to and
supportive of... our Mt. View schismatic/heretics:
Obviously, high and mighty Met. Moses does not think that he is answerable to any mere lowly laity in his church, or even perhaps to his ruling GOC Synod in Greece?, and that he can do whatever he wishes, or has a whim to do, canons or no canons!..i.e. that he is above the canons.
The exact reply words of GOC Met. Moses:

You know nothing and I do not answer to you.
May you have a blessed feast for the Nativity of Christ.

A personal letter of
complaint addressed to GOC Met. Moses of Canada, by a loyal layman in
the GOC, here in America, complaining of the interference into a sister
church's internal affairs, by Met. Moses, and
so openly supporting our schismatics against Metropolitan Agafangel and
our canonical ROCA etc.:
{Your Grace Metropolitan Moses,
Having seen the report from this website as well as having viewed the
You-Tube posted video of this "event" I can say that I, being a member
of the GOC, was very dismayed by seeing you not only visiting, but also
blessing these unrepentant schismatics while
they sang "Many Years" to you.
I ask why?, why would you spit in the face of a "sister church" the
ROCA under Metropolitan Agafangel by entertaining and offering
legitimacy and prop up these rebel malcontents and their vile schism. Is
this any way to treat a sister church in communion
with the GOC !
Please be so kind as to explain yourself. Below is a English
translation from the Russian article as well as a link to the Youtube
video.
In Christ, xxx}

Statement of the First Hierarch of the ROCA Metropolitan Agafangel
As the heretics of the parasynagogue of archbishops Andronik and
Sophrony, who were banned in the priesthood, reported on their website,
last Sunday, November 19, the hierarch of the Greek GOC, Metropolitan of
All Canada, Moses, publically visited and "supported"
the heresy and schism in Toronto, Canada:
"The real surprise was the appearance in the refectory of Bishop Moses
of the Greek True Orthodox Church, to which the audience performed
'Ispolla eti despota'- 'For many years, Vladyka!'. Yuri Lukin expressed
his gratitude to Vladyka Moses for his support,
and not without excitement."
Our Russian Church Abroad is doing everything it can to overcome the
split in the Russian Church and, above all, to eradicate this new kind
of ecumenical heresy that has arisen in the Russian and other old-style
churches. In this very delicate matter, we
listen attentively to the opinions of our brothers in Christ of the Old
Calendarists - the Churches of Greece, Romania and Bulgaria, and we are
trying to overcome jointly and circumspectly this newly-born ecumenical
heresy, in order so as to, not add as
little as possible to the confusions of our flock entrusted to us by
God. The fact that these heretics are being supported by GOC
Metropolitan Moses, whom we had respected, was for us (as, incidentally,
as also for the heretics themselves, even as they
said), his public visit with them was "a surprise" and an indeed, a
complete surprise, and which action has caused great embarrassment and
perplexity among our flock. In addition, this event directly affects the
inner and sacred life of the Russian Orthodox
Church Outside of Russia.
I hope that Vladyka Moses will, somehow, explain this "support" of
these heretics. Otherwise, our Synod will be forced to make a special
definition for our flock, regarding the everyday communication of some
hierarchies of the Greek GOC with heretic ecumenists,
since this fact very much embarrasses all our clergy who have remained
faithful to patristic and anti-ecumenical Orthodoxy.
+ Metropolitan Agafangel
