Is it now customary in Finland to be publicly shocked and condemn the Patriarch of All Rus'? It’s strange to hear this from the head of a local church.

I agree, it's strange. The local church still should not publicly criticize the Patriarch in the media, this only harms unity. What do you think, why did the archbishop speak out so harshly right now?
