According to an as yet unconfirmed report from orthodoxie.com, the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which opened its latest session today, has decided to dissolve the Archdiocese of Russian Orthodox Churches in Western Europe, officially the Patriarchal Exarchate for Orthodox Parishes of the Russian Tradition in Western Europe, by repealing the Patriarchal Tomos of 1999. Orthodoxie references its own informed sources.

The Greek news agency Romfea is reporting the same.

The Synod is also expected to announce the date for the long-awaited Ukrainian “unification council” at its current session which runs through Thursday.

The main problem is the claim of the Ecumenical Patriarchate that it is a source of order, life, orthodoxy…. whatever, for the rest of the Church. The claim seems to be that the Ecumenical Patriarch is somehow the essence and beginning of the Church in the way Adam is the beginning of the human race or the Father the source of the Trinity.
