Maybe the Moscow Patriarchate and other Orthodox jurisdictions will finally get the point that has been painfully obvious for decades. The umbrella 'ecumencial' organizations are worthless for Christians. We need to pick and choose those with whom we work based on shared principals not co-opted identities. Just because someone claims the mantle of Chrisitanity does not mean they are Christian. Many of the MLP's simply are not really Christian anymore. Shoot, it is not just such secondary questions as to what constitutes sin (if they even acknowledge sin), it extends to the person of Jesus Christ and the nature of God Himself (if they even acknowledge God anymore). Apostasy & sacriledge are strong words but in this case they are correct. Good!
