Will the Phanar Abandon the OCU?

The Orthodox Times ' plea for a “temporary Exarchate” in Ukraine under Constantinople admits the 2019 Tomos birthed division, not unity. Amid OCU defections, state seizures, and Phanar whispers of a puppet church, the proposal is a white flag for a failed intervention. Of course, it also vindicates Met. Onuphry’s steadfast flock.
