What is the Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis?

[Maria]

I have started this thread to explore the Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis objectively, so that our guests and inquirers can have an opportunity to learn more about True Orthodoxy in Western Europe and in other countries. Any inflammatory accusations will be promptly moved over to the Intra-TOC Polemics Private Forum.

Since other True Orthodox jurisdictions will be explored in their own threads, please keep all your discussions in this thread focused only on the Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis.

Below are some questions. Please feel free to provide links and excerpts from official sites as references.

1. What is the history of the Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis?
2. Who are their former hierarchs and leaders?
3. Is the Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis in communion with any other True Orthodox jurisdictions?

Western Orthodox Church of Civitas Classis – Γ.Ο. Χ.
Official Website: http://mediolanum.me/

The old Synod of Milan official website has changed names, and is now the official website for Archbishop Volodymir's See. Back in December 2013, Father Roman said that the Milan Synod had dissolved.

Looking through this site, I found this information below.

180. Archbishop Volodymir of Civitas Classis (Autonomous Western Orthodox Church G.O.C.) AD 1995

1. Archbishop John (Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles – G.O.C.) AD 1997

I'm not sure if the Milan synod is actually dissolved. I think there was a split with Archbishop Volodymir breaking away from Milan & forming his own synod. The website that you posted that was formerly the Milan synod website appears to be Archbishop Volodymirs synod.

Yes, Archbishop Volodymir did break away from Milan, but it appears that he has taken over the old Milan website and has given it the name of his See. Does Archbishop Volodymir have a synod?

Let us pray.
