The Orthodox Patriarch?
There are multiple orthodox patriarchs
@ebowden from 1309 to 1376, seven successive popes decided to make their seat at Avignon.
In 1376, Gregory IX decided to move back to Rome, but his cardinals disagreed. Which led to the Western Schism under the reign of his successor, Urban VI
A second line of Avignon popes reigned, concurrent with those serving in Rome.
At one point during the schism, no less than three different men simultaneously led claim to the title of true pope
The seat of the pope was not even initially so prominent in christendom. The heir to the throne of St. Peter was but one of five church fathers before the reign of Charlemagne and the crusades.
So what you're saying is, there has never been a true pope?
we are all the pope
There's only been a "true pope" (the word pope itself comes from papa, denoting one of the five church fathers) for as long as the Latin Church was able to establish its will by military force, but the bishop of Rome derives his legitimacy from being the heir of St. Peter
Who Jesus declared was the "rock" (Petrus) on which the church would be built.
What I'm getting from this was that He was being metaphorical?
Somewhat. I doubt he would have wanted a singular office to become so entrenched and corrupt or to hold so much individual power.
But he definitely wanted Peter to lead the church after he was gone.
And I doubt Peter wanted for the bishopric of Rome to become the way it is.
Leave it to us to screw everything up as always
I bet this is what led to that baseless Mary worship also. She's important and is to be revered, but she's not part of the trinity.
Well, the Latin Church isn't all to blame for that. The Eastern Orthodox Church does it too.
Oh bother
But they have the weird practice of icons
Hell, I'm technically prot, yet I still recognize the saints as they helped to advance the faith. Praying to them however is idolatry imo
@Orwell & Goode
Sorry to bother, but i figured you had a better overview over the news.
Wasn't there an article that detailed google's involvement in the Clinton Campaign?
This shit just pissed me off. I think this counts as a redpill. https://youtu.be/AHX6tHdQGiQ
How did you not already know about that?
I met a guy who does conversions to printers that allow them to be filled with cheap as chips ink.
#CatholicismIsOverParty?
Orthodoxy sounds better
FAKE POPE
The plot thickens
Global warming is fake, gay, and outcompeted by the phenomenon of global greening
I don't blame them
Why not just deport their asses back to Africa? Not that hard
they've been doing that
but they'll send them to places like Uganda even though the vast majority seem to be coming from South Sudan
and interestingly enough, Ethiopian Jews are having a tough time getting in.
But I thought they wuz the chosen people to. Does it only apply to huwhite chosen people? They're not, dare I say it, racist are they? 😱😱😱
