I've heard so many stories like that. At some point you really need to sit down and ask yourself how Orthodoxy keeps producing people like that. You really can't dismiss out of hand. But as Christ said
>And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
I hope one day that God blesses to meet an elder who is like Sts Porphyrios or Paisios. I definitely know I'm not worthy enough plus I'd be scared of what they'd have to say about me... I also remember St Paisios saying that St Porphyrios' "television" ie. clairvoyance is in colour but his is "only" black and white. Likewise St Porphyrios said that St Paisios is better than him because he had to struggle more for his gifts. Their humility is unparalleled

I've read the Fr Spyridon book and enjoyed it quite a bit. One thing I realised is that only Orthodoxy is can provide a coherent unified explanation of what globohomo is trying to do. No other religion or worldview can do that
