If we assume the reliability of the message of the UOC-KP that the head of the Archdiocese of the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the United States, Archbishop Elpidophoros “expelled” the speaker of the OCU Yevstratii Zorya and his supporters from the United States, having views of the parishes of schismatics in this country, which is actually determined by the tomos, this shows that in the Patriarchate of Constantinople there is a division of opinions about the OCU. Blogger Alexander Voznesensky wrote about this in his Telegram channel.

“If Bartholomew and Metropolitan Emmanuel are interested in a certain development of the OCU as their brainchild, then the likely contender for the Constantinople See, Metropolitan Elpidophorus Lambriniadis, on the one hand, is ready to support the US policy (and if Washington is asked to further support the OCU, he will do it), and with on the other hand, he is not averse to profit from the OCU, and if tough measures are to be taken against these schismatics, then, as they say, he will not rust,” the blogger writes.
