No it wasn’t.


Yes it was. The Council of Chalcedon (451) even acknowledges this by pronouncing in one of its canons that the See of Constantinople was second in eminence and power to the See of Rome. That particular canon was of disputed validity and rejected by Pope St. Leo I at that time. It laid the ground work for the eventual pronouncement of the Patriarch of Constantinople, in later centuries, that he was the "first among equals," which inevitably led to the great East-West Schism.

That’s a pretty pointless argument. Many cities have come and gone, and yet Orthodoxy perseveres.


Under occupation. The great See of Alexandria has been in a state of heresy since the 6th century with Monophysitism. The great See of Antioch doesn't even exist anymore. And whether you like it or not, Orthodoxy and Catholicism are slowly making their way toward reunification, which is a good thing in the grand scheme of everything.

Orthodoxy membership has also fallen to less than 12% of the total Christian population, while Catholicism has risen to over 50%. God is on the side of the One, True Church my friend.

The Council of Chalcedon is a really, really bad example to use to try and prove the pope is the head of the Church (at least in the sense modern Roman Catholics believe). Take a look at the acts and extracts and you’ll see why.

Narrow is the way and there are few who find it.

While there may have been some hope of reunification under someone like John Paul or Benedict, there’s zero hope for it under Francis.

I’m not going to derail this thread by further discussion of Roman Catholic propaganda. If you like your Pacahamama, you can keep your Pachamama.

God is on the side of righteousness - not self-righteousness. Churches that appease to the masses instead of the word of the Lord will find themselves in hot water. Pun intended.
