As in publically recanted his service to the Soviet State when he was being made "Patriarch" in 1991? If that had happened I dont think either ROAC or True ROCOR would exist and this Unia wouldve happened a long time ago without nearly as much fuss. Those Lavrites were telling lies- surprise, surprise...
