{{cleanup|spelling, grammar, standardise layout. Suggest changes on the talk page.}}{{Template:Old Calendar}}The '''[[w:Holy Synod of Milan|Holy Synod of Milan]]''' originated as a [[diocese]] for Western Europe of an [[Old Calendarist]] Greek Orthodox Church (see also ''[http://orthodoxwiki.org/Old_Calendarist#The_Florinite.2FMatthewite_schism Florinites]''). The full name of this jurisdiction is the '''Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia Church of [[Milan]], Western Europe'''.
==History==
The diocese was granted a [[tomos]] of [[autonomy]] in 1984 from [[Archbishop Auxentios ]] in order to pursue missionary work among the non-Orthodox people of the West. The title of the Synod at this time was the ''Metropolia of Western Europe''. After the transference of its first Chief Hierarch, Metropolitan Gabriel of Portugal, to the [[autocephaly|autocephalous]] [[Church of Poland]], Bishop Evloghios of Milan was chosen as second Chief Hierarch and elevated to the rank of [[metropolitan]]. As you can see from the photographs, the position of Metropolitan Evloghios, despite being traditionally Orthodox. He was never and is not now, intransigent towards other Orthodox Churches and never denied the presence of grace in the sacraments of the Church considered official. The Holy Synod of Milan, never conformed to the strict rules of the ultra-orthodox and uncompromising oldcalendarist moviment.
[[File:Basilio1.jpg]] '''His Beatitude [[Basil (Doroszkiewicz) of Warsaw]] All Poland with Archbishop Evloghios of Milan''' '''In 1989''', Archbishop Evloghios was in full communion with Metropolitan [[Mstyslav]][http://mediolanum.me/canada/] Primate of the [[Ukrainian Orthodox Church in the USA]]. Metropolitan [[Mstyslav]] at that time was in full communion with [[Patriarch]] [[Demetrios I]] and [[Bartholomew I]] of [[Constantinople]]. [[File:Bartolomeo.jpg]] '''In 1992''', [[Metropolitan Ioan Bornachuk]] of Lviv, assured Metropolitan Evloghios about the full communion between the two churches that is [[Ukranian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in Ukraine]] and [[Autonomous Orthodox Church of Milan, Western Europe and Canada]]. '''In October 1993''', Metropolitan Evloghios, as Primate of the Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of [[Milan]] and Western Europe, was invited in His dignity of First Hierarch in full communion with the [[Ukranian Orthodox Church in the U.S.A.]] to partecipate at the sobor in Kiev for the election of the second Patriarch after [[Mstyslav]]. [[File:volodymir.jpg]] '''On November 18, 1993''', is confirmed by the Patriarch Volodimir the full right of Metropolitan Evloghios to be part of the Holy Synod of the [[Ukranian Orthodox Church]] - Kievan Patriarchate. On February 14March 20, 1994 Metropolitan Evloghios, receives from the hands of Patriarch Volodimir the Tomos of Autonomy[http://mediolanum.me/canada/]. The title reconfirmed by [[Patriarch Volodymir]] through a new Tomos of Autonomy (1994)<ref>[http://mediolanum.me/canada/ Православна Церква Західної Європи и Канади].</ref> is: ''Archbishop of Milan and Longobardy - Metropolitan of Aquileia, Western Europe and Canada.'' [[File:volodymir1.jpg]] '''On December 25, 1996''' Patriarch Filaret intimate with a letter sent to the Canadian episcopate, Metropolitan Evloghios not accept American bishops under his omoforion (british island). '''On December 27, 2011, 1996''' the Holy Synod announced of Milan responds to Patriarch [[w:Filaret (Denysenko)|Filaret (Denysenko)]] that it had granted full autonomy intended to its accept the American Diocesesepiscopate with Chirotesia (John Lobue and Hilarion of Austin), despite the threats and formalizes the final break (protocol 36/1996 of December 27, 1996). Then the full communion with His Holiness Patriarch [[w:Filaret (Denysenko)|Filaret (Denysenko)]], elevating Archbishop JOHN ceased on December 27, 1996, before he was excomunicated from the Patriarch of Moscow Alexij II. == 1997 Break of the relation with the Patriarchate of Kiev== Since 1997 (before the breakdown of relationships with the [[Patriarchate of Kiev]], the Milan Synod included a number of New York [[Western Rite]] communities, mainly in the United States, who worship according to pre-schismatic (historically Orthodox) liturgical traditions with the rank support of the Metropolitan and erecting of the [[Holy Synod]] of Bishops. Anyway the principal rite of the Synod of Milan is the [[Byzantine Rite]] of the Orthodox Church, celebrated most commonly in the Slavic style but in some parishes in the Greek style. The [[Autonomous Orthodox Metropolia of North and South America and the British Isles]]was an Old Calendarist jurisdiction which was originally comprised of the Archdioceses of America and the British Deanery of the Holy Synod of Milan. It was granted "Autonomous status" on February 14/27, 2011 through Decree #542 of the Milan Synod.The Tomos of Autonomy was definitively suspended by the Holy Synod of Milan and the bishopric of New York was suppressed. His former bishop John defrocked. through Decree #639 of the Milan Synod becouse he joined with the russian group called "[[raphaelites]]"
