The Russian Orthodox Church split off from the rest of the Orthodox Church  (It's a 50/50 split.)

This because previously Russian Church had excommunicated Ukrainians and Constantinople  (the head of all Orthodox faith before this split) had in turn given the Ukrainkan church the right to split off from the Russian one.

It's all political and because of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Still a major development.

HOLY SHIT!  This is huge.

Ironbite-like super huge.

dpareja:
The Christian split I'm waiting for is the one where every Catholic suddenly becomes unaffiliated because the Church has been prosecuted for its two thousand years of crimes against humanity and dissolved, its assets distributed to everyone it has wronged.

...And this is why I prefer the discourse on the TVTropes forums.
