| | Pope |
| | The Pope is the Catholic bishop and patriarch of Rome, and head of Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches (note that the name within the communion is simply "the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church"). | | | The status and authority of the Pope in the Catholic Church was dogmatically defined by the First Vatican Council in its Dogmatic Constitution of the Church of Christ (July 18, 1870). | | | The word "Pope" is derived from the Greek word pappas ("father") and was originally used in an affectionate sense of any priest or bishop (in the exact same way that modern priests are addressed as "Father"). |

| | Athanasius of Alexandria was chosen to be the 20th Pope of the See of St. Mark in the year 328 or 329, while he was only a deacon. | | | Through the flourishing era of monasticism of the fourth century, the fifth century, and the first half of the sixth century, they did not choose these monks to be bishops or patriarchs because those monks preferred to have a life of solitude, a life of prayer, a life of contemplation. | | | But, the angels who devoted all their time praising the Lord as the seraphim were the symbol of holy life put in front of those monks. |

| | The pope presented him with the golden rose that he had blessed on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and he also gave him a ring with which he and his successors should espouse the Adriatic on Ascension day, in sign of sovereignty acquired over that sea. | | | In 1173 the pope canonized Saint Thomas of Canterbury, and the acts of canonization were accompanied by testimonies of admiration at the virtue of so courageous a martyr. | | | The pope's enemies thought fit to add to that name the words della Paglia, in derision, and the city, which has now become one of the greatest fortresses in the world, preserves the name of Alexandria of Straw. |

| | The title Pope was really a common appellation that was given to priests in the early Church. | | | The Patriarch of Alexandria was called Pope before the Roman one and these days, Greek priests are still called papas or popes... | | | The way I look at it, neither side is compromise their faith, and I do trust the Popes, Patriarch, Bishops...etc, of our churches to make the right decision for their congregations. |
