[Polycarp]

A collective sigh of relief ping...

An Orthodox ping...followed by an Orthodox scratching his head!

Well it's nice to hear Bishop Yurii has decided to remain Orthodox (if schismatic) rather than becoming a Latin heretic. Of course, as for the schism in the Ukraine, I would point out that with the exception of the first grant of autocephaly to Bulgaria by Constantinople and the grant of autocephaly to Georgia by Antioch, autocephalous Orthodox churches have always been established by facts on the ground before the mother church gave her assent. Eventually there will be a Ukranian Orthodox Church with a patriarch recognized by all, including Moscow. It just takes a while (remember the joke, in Orthodoxy there are two tracks for change, the fast and the slow, the fast one takes 400 years.)
