 | | The patriarch of Constantinople was recognized as the spiritual head of the Orthodox Churches, but he did not have any juridic authority over them, except those of his own patriarchate. | | | Moreover, just to underscore an important point, even though the bishop of Rome is a patriarch, as pope he has supreme authority and governance over the whole Church. | | | Rites basically refer to groups of the faithful who share the same manner of performing services for the worship of God and the sanctification of the faithful. |

| Â | Ukrainian Catholic Patriarch Dies in L'viv |
| | Patriarch Myroslav-Ivan was already 75 years of age, and thought that it might be better to have a new Patriarch to lead the Church under these changed circumstances. | | | Patriarch Myroslav-Ivan and his close associates worked directly with Aid to the Church in Need, Keston College, and other organizations in the West promoting freedom of religion in the Soviet Union, and also published prayer-books badly needed by the hierarchy, clergy and faithful in the USSR. | | | Patriarch Myroslav Ivan (Lubachivsky), who led the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in exile and returned to Ukraine in 1991 when the Church regained legal rights in the Soviet Union, died early this morning. |

| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Patriarch and Patriarchate |
| | Non-Catholics who bear the title now are the Orthodox Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem; the Nestorian patriarch at Kuchanis (his title is now "Catholicus and Patriarch of the East"); the Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria; the. | | | Uniat patriarchs are elected by a synod of all the bishops of the patriarchate and confirmed by the Holy See. | | | Gradually then -- certainly from the eighth and ninth centuries -- the word becomes an official title, used henceforth only as connoting a definite rank in the hierarchy, that of the chief bishops who ruled over metropolitans as metropolitans over their suffragan bishops, being themselves subject only to the first patriarch at Rome. |

| Â | Pope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Pope derives his Pontificate from being Bishop of Rome but is not obligated to reside in Rome; according to the Latin formula ubi Papa, ibi Curia, wherever the Pope resides is the central government of the Church, provided that the Pope is Bishop of Rome. | | | The name "Holy See" (also "Apostolic See") is in ecclesiastical terminology the ordinary jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome (including the Roman Curia); the Pope's various honours, powers, and privileges within the Catholic Church and the international community derive from his Episcopate of Rome in lineal succession from the Apostle | | | Therefore, such definitions of the Roman pontiff are of themselves, and not by the consent of the church, irreformable. |

| | Rome was the first city in which the Church was based, therefore making it Holy, yes, but not making that Patriarch any better than his "equals," the other Patriarchs. | | | However, in the 11th century, the Western part of the Church, somehow banding together and led by the Patriarch of Rome, declared that all other Patriarchs, including those of the East, must submit to the Roman Patriarch as the self-declared head of the Church (see the next question). | | | When the Eastern Church would not do such a thing, the Western Church promptly withdrew itself from the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (today known as the Orthodox Church), thus becoming the church we know today as the Roman Catholic Church. |

| | Charges against bishops were judged in Rome by the pope, usually during their annual assembly in Rome on the feast of St. Peter. | | | Gregory asserted that “the See of Constantinople is subject to the Apostolic See,” and that there was no bishop who was not subject to the See of Rome, “which is set over all the churches.” He also recognized the fact that other churches had their own accepted territories of jurisdiction. | | | In his counterclaim he asserted the universal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome but made it clear that this should be used with humility, and he referred to himself constantly as the Servant of the Servants of God. |

| | Just as the Pope of Rome sits on the throne of St. Peter, the Armenian Catholicos in Holy Etchmiadzin, according to the expression of the ancient historian Movses Khorenats'i, "sits on the throne of Thaddeus." Thus he is "father and head" of the Armenian Church. | | | "By the most ancient tradition of the Church, the Patriarchs of the Eastern Churches are to be accorded special honor, seeing that each is set over his patriarchate as father and head." | | | Just as St. Peter held the primacy among the other Holy Apostles so too does St. Peter's successor hold a primacy among the Apostles' successors: the Patriarchs and bishops. |

| Â | Conclave at the Vatican |
| | Defending the Faith is unacceptable to the ecumenist hierarchs of "World Orthodoxy"; they do not ask the heterodox to join themselves to Christ's Holy Church, but tell them they are part of it. | | | And of course, after "full communion" between the "Sister Churches" of Rome and Constantinople has been achieved, how long will it be until the faithful of this "super-church" will be instructed that, after all, all religions are the same, and that the differences between Christianity and Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are merely "misunderstandings"? | | | The "public" part of the festivities included the celebration of a "Mass," during which, as has happened before, the Pope blessed the Orthodox deacon to read the Epistle, the Patriarch blessed the Latin deacon to read the Epistle, and the Pope and Patriarch read the Creed together in Greek. |

On a warm September morning, after a day or two of welcome and orientation by the chaplain to Her Britannic Majesty's Consulate, the flamboyant and immensely kind Father Carel Piper, I made my way through. |
