recent tomos
it just happened a few months ago that Constantinople issued the tomos granting autokephalia to the Ukr orthodox church. The Russians were very upset of course on all levels. The least vituperating attitude was of one called Kuraiev, a diakon of the Russian orthodox church who said something like oh the two phantom empires are still fighting for influence ...Just find it all a bit funny

Re: recent tomos
It's hard to find a perfect analogy. Maybe it would be like the Lutheran church in Germany announcing to the Finns (over the Finns' objections based on church regulations) that the Karelians now have their own autocephalous church, even if around half of the Karelian Lutherans want to stay under the Finnish Lutheran church.
