I mean
You know... Nevermind. No comment
What do you guys think of the idea of National-Distributism?
Those buzzwords might intersect well enough to be good
nice
I'm starting to think the entire idea of a first-among-equals should be haram
For the Church
The only way it can actually work is if it's a First-Among-Country's-Representatives
and countries are hella unequal
Pretty much
But that implies that first among equals holds any real power over the other equals
it doesn't, except when the position gets to your head and then you start saying it does
Bart's bluff was called and now he has less friends than before
If it worked for two thousand years
it's fine
There's no escaping messy situations
Idk, I recall there being stuff said that first among equals is a relatively new concept.
well the *terminology* is new at least
The tldr of it was that Constantinople didnt want to lose its de facto spiritual primacy over the EO world after the fall, so they kind of pulled this out to counteract the booming Russian Empire
Innit
Safe to say that the biggest dog should have the primacy. Be it Byzantium or Russian Empire or Georgian Galactic Empire
Yup
gayreeks had their turn
First among equals is a new thing because as in almost everything in life, and specially in what is related to authority, there is no equality
The heads have always been recognized
Equality is a lie, only the weak preach equality.
The Lion is inferior to the tiger.
Tsardom is in heaven, while democracy is in hell.
Hierarchies are celestial, in hell are all equal
>The lion is inferior to the tiger.
Never heard that before.
Alright. I'm dating a tradcat qt as a prot. How do i not mess this up?
By going either trad cat or beguming Orthodox
What arkona said.
>the lion is superior to the tiger
Sounds like the "ride the tiger brah" crap
>first among equals doesn't exist
I mean yeah it does who speaks for a jury without having actual authority beyond other jurors to.give one example
We are not talking about mere "messengers" here
Is first among equals the ordodogs equivalent to papacy?
Yeah
A number of denoms have it actually
