To draw any analogies between this organization and ROCOR and/or the OCA is utterly ridiculous. ROCOR/OCA had canonical foundations acknowledged by multiple Patriarchates and local churches from their beginnings. Who has ever acknowledged post-deposition Filaret and his creation? Only the EP since oikonomia = creation ex nihilo in the Phanar. Apparently he wanted to flex his new papal prerogatives. maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01086218903799586114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-4494797291109947082018-12-29T13:21:18.341-05:002018-12-29T13:21:18.341-05:00Don't be ridiculous.

The only issue is the question of her autocephaly which is not recognized by around half of the churches. They treat her as an autonomous church under the Russian Church. This new entity is in communion with no one but the EP and is regarded as schismatic. <br /><br />There is no comparison.

The actions of the EP in Ukraine and their canonicity is in question, but the status of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under the EP is as canonical as the OCA's autocephaly.123https://www.blogger.com/profile/14514075641944568806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-77789189169917444152018-12-26T17:03:27.367-05:002018-12-26T17:03:27.367-05:00The same site is providing some troubling info abo...The same site is providing some troubling info about recent statements of Met.
