russian church has used state\'s force against oldbelievers .
greek church has used state\'s force against old calendarists.
patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomeos has used police force against the monks of Prophet Elias Skete in Mt Athos,some years ago.
Now Monastery of Esphigmenou is under siege,and Patriarch forces the Greek government to use police force to exile the monks from Mt Athos.
Special police units have surrounded sometimes the monastery but they didnt invade.
every honest orthodox christian cannot accept the use of violence for resolving spiritual matters as it happens with Church\'s calendar.
