In 1979, a [[schism]] occurred in the Synod of the so-called "[[florinites]]" or [[Church of Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece]] (GOC). [[Metropolitan Callistos]] of Corinth and Metropolitan Anthony disagreed with the 1974 Declaration by [[Archbishop Auxentius]], which declared that the new-calendar [[Church of Greece]] has no grace. Callistos and Anthony [[ordained]] eight other bishops, declared [[Auxentius]] to be deposed, and registered their Synod as the [[Church of Genuine Orthodox Christians of Greece]](GOC, so-called "callistoites").In 1980, the Synod synod entered into communion with the Synod of the [[True (Old Calendar) Orthodox Church of Romania]]. However, in 1983, the Synod synod disintegrated. [[ Metropolitan Callistos]] quit the Synodbecause of a disagreement on the question of grace in New Calendarist sacraments, Bishop Maximos of Magnesia and two others returned to the [[florinites]] and the other bishops joined the Synod of the [[True Orthodox Church of Greece]] (so-called "[[gerontiites]]")under Archbishop Auxentios. The rest, Matthew of Oinois, Kalliopios of Pentapolis, and Kallinikos of Achaia, returned to the synod in 1985 under the presidency of Metropolitan Gerontios of Peiraeus, after the first removal of Archbishop Auxentios.

Two members of the disintegrated Synodsynod, bishops Bishops [[Cyprian of Fili]] and Giovanni of Sicilly Sicily, organized the [[Holy Synod in Resistance]].
