"The Ecumenical Patriarch is, of course, correct when he asserts that any serious talk of a "3rd Rome" (i.e. Moscow) is uncanonical."
Just like the Pope is right when he says the 4 ancient sees were all heretics right?
Orthodoxy does not understand a primacy like Rome's. There is no primacy that gives the right to arbitrarily interfere into the sees of orther Patriarchates.
That is a theological divide, kawaii. You are mixing apples and oranges.

The uncanonical acts of the Ecumenical Patriarch in the past, interfereing and, indeed, even absorbing jurisdictions of other Patriarchates (i.e. Finland), does not give Moscow the "right" to compete with or overtake the primacy in the Orthodox Church communion.
One wrong does not justify another.
