In 1991 a sobor of bishops, clergy and laity of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church voted unanimously to become autocephalous. We all remember how magnanimously the Moscow Patriarchate reacted to that manifestation of self-goverment...
So exactly how does the Moscow Patriarchate differ from your image of the big bad Vatican?
: When the ROC calls a sobor, representatives of the bishops, clergy and laity make policy. The same cannot be said for the UGCC. They can do what they want -- so long as it doesn't conflict with what the Vatican wants
