I've been hearing a lot of people lately referring to the MTC as a reformed eastern orthodox church.  But if Orthodoxy is "correct belief" and "correct worship", what sense is there in reforming it?  Isn't it self-contradictory?  More importantly, since most Orthodox beliefs and practices have been thrown out of the window in the MTC (veneration of saints and the Virgin Mary, iconography, prayers for the dead, confession, belief in the eucharist as the body and blood of Jesus Christ rather than just a symbol, etc.), why is it that the MTC as an entity still refers to itself as orthodox, even though most of it's members refer to themselves as reformed or protestant?

 I do not ask this question as a statement; I'm not trying to assert that the MTC is wrong or that I know better than everyone else.  I'm genuinely curious as to whether anyone has a cogent answer to this question, because I have not been able to find one myself.
