Within the last two years the EP has made sudden decisions or actions without much transparency in the lead up to the decisions, eg:
- The EP's new First Without Equals teaching
- The EP considered the KP non canonical and then very suddenly recognized the KP hierarch as canonical and set up the OCU
- The EP suddenly announced that it was dissolving its Russian Exarchate of Western Europe and never gave an explanation for why, AFAIK.
- The financial dealings with St Nicholas shrine have been obscure for a long time.
- The EP announced recently that clergy can remarry.
So the Abp.'s announcement would not be out of keeping as far as a style of sudden decisions or canonicity goes. The fact that it's sudden or non canonical unfortunately does not disprove its occurrence considering the recent pattern of decision making.
Don't forget that Open Communion is being pushed in Chicago by the Metropolitan.
