Orthodox opposition to Papal Supremacy

[Unquirer]

Just wanted to let you all know that there is a pretty good wiki page that sums up the arguments against the papacy (universal jurisdiction) from Orthodox perspective on wiki.

If anyone wants to add to it I'm sure that you can!

Claims can be evaluated on their own merit and the sources that they refer to. That's the beauty of wiki. Not asserting any kind of infallibility here, just that it provides a concise summary of various arguments that have been posited over time.

I'll take a look at some point since the Papal Supremacy thing was actually one of the reasons I chose the Orthodox church over the Catholic church.

I know- Wiki just wouldn't be my go-to site since anyone can edit it (and I wouldn't be able to cite that if I were writing a paper).

Rome's Cadaver Synod should be enough

there is so much from history that disproves such nonsense

It was the same reason I couldn’t believe in the Catholic Church.

Yes, that seems to be common.

It was all before he starred in that barrage of Disney flicks and long before his embarrassing appearance in Laserblast! He was great as the police chief on Kolchak! LOL

Dude, you have to watch "Laserblast." It's the Plan 9 From Outer Space of the 1970's! LOL

What?! It's as if you guys find it bizarre to exhume a bishop, cut off his fingers, have a trial with a deacon answering for a dead guy, etc.? Get with the program!

Caligula once installed a horse as a bishop. What's so odd about that!?

I'm thinking of having my Shih-Tzu stand in for me at work. With the students I've had the last 3 years, it wouldn't make much difference.

nope

nah, that wasn't what was weird. all the decision reversing afterwards, however...

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

You're absolutely right, Father. Nothing odd about trying a corpse. Happens so frequently...

well, yeah. I mean that's what they did with Origen, right?

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

I would yield that point to you, Father, as someone far more knowledgable than yours truly. All I recall is Emperor Justinian I condemning him as a heretic and torching Origen's writings. I don't recall them exhuming him and kicking his post-mortem tukus. But I don't doubt it. You're usually correct on these things.

they didn't do that to Origen, that was me being sarcastic

He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, pathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious.
