Lately there has been criticism of the church leadership by Palestinian faithful, who accuse the Greek-speaking and largely Greek-born leadership of squandering their money and treating their Arabic-speaking members as second-class faithful.
Following the recent deposition of Patriarch [[Irenaios I (Skopeliti) of Jerusalem|Irenaios I]] amidst scandals regarding the transfer of land to Jewish control, the Holy Synod of the church has named as their temporary primate His Eminence Metropolitan [[Cornelius (Rodousakis) of Petra]], ''[[Locum Tenens]]'' of the Holy City of Jerusalem and All Palestine.
