Orthodox Church of Ukraine

Tl;dr, schismatic churches eventually schism into smaller schismatic churches

I'm surprised how this isnt so obvious to many

Amen brother. This alone is the truth of the matter.

It's actually the opposite since about 10-15.000.000 souls who used to be in schism re-entered the church again. And if you consider that those people stayed loyal to Orthodoxy for 30 years even though they were in schism and forgotten by the rest of the Orthodox world (in a country that Unia has also traditional presence), we can say that we're talking about very faithful people and not lukewarms. Add to them the Mayan people that entered Orthodoxy after the mass convertions that occurred there a few years ago, we can see that the Orthodox church is rapidly growing, both in numbers and in quality. The events with Russia may be unfortunate but there's no not any real schism, people who use that word all the time don't now what it means. Schisms only happen for dogmatic reasons and it takes two parts to validate it.

Everything's gonna be fine i believe it.

I also should mention the Albanian Orthodox church that has become from literally non existent in Albania to 17-20% of the population there in only 30 years.

I received this today from my godmother, unprompted. Telling me they're attending a different church several hours away over this. I have yet to respond. This comes after I haven't seen them since December 9th, nor even spoken to them.

Abbots from Mt. Athos monasteries Vatopedi and Xenophontos, Ephraim and Alexios, will attend the enthronement of Met. Epiphany in Ukraine.
This is probably in responce of emerging fake news articles saying that the elders of Mt. Athos are against Ukraine's autocephaly.
