:I removed the reference to his friendships - I don't think that should be in the article.

Given that Metropolitan Antonio introduced the Gregorian Calendar into his diocese and is in communion with bodies that are not Old Calendarist, I do not believe that it is fair or accurate to label him the head of the Old Calendarist Orthodox Church of Italy. Perhaps it would be better to say he is a former Old Calendarist bishop or some sort of thing. --[[User:Anastasios|Anastasios]] 17:11, January 2, 2008 (PST)

Am I right that Metropolitan Antonio is an Old Calendarist bishop? --Arbible 12:19, August 28, 2006 (CDT)

His church (ie Orthodox Church in Italy) is Old Calendarist, so yes. If he is to be considered a bishop, his article needs renaming (I assume to 'Antonio (de Rosso) of Italy' or something similar), currently the implication is that he is a figure (i.e. not even a monk). — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 06:52, August 29, 2006 (CDT)
Thanks. Not sure if Old Calendarists have valid bishops, so will remove the 'cat Bishops' until you/we confirm that he is a canonical bishop/metropolitan with valid Apostolic succession. --Arbible 08:25, August 29, 2006 (CDT)

Can he really be called Old Calendarist?

Given that Metropolitan Antonio introduced the Gregorian Calendar into his diocese and is in communion with bodies that are not Old Calendarist, I do not believe that it is fair or accurate to label him the head of the Old Calendarist Orthodox Church of Italy. Perhaps it would be better to say he is a former Old Calendarist bishop or some sort of thing. --Anastasios 17:11, January 2, 2008 (PST)
