My understanding is that this "schism" never involved the lay faithful of either Church, who continued to be communed by the other Church. The schism was limited only to the lack of concelebration and the non-commemoration of the Romanian Patriarch by Jerusalem. It was the same thing with the situation between ROCOR and the MP in the last few years before 2007 and the same today with the Macedonian faithful.
One schism down, several more to go. Give glory to God and keep on praying!
