"the year 800 was chosen [at Simonas Petras] as the cut-off for consideration of saints form the now-separated Partiarchate of Rome."

Makes sense to me.

On the other hand, ROCOR gives England an extension to the Battle of Hastings (A.D. 1066), which allows for the appearance of Our Lady at Walsingham and for St. Edward the Confessor.

Should not Spain and Portugal should be cut off at A.D. 589, the date of the Council of Toledo?

I might gather from your changed tag line that you support those who do not commemorate the Ecumenical Patriarch and believe he is Orthodox in name only.
