How are the ecclesiologies different ? I’ve noticed from the Syrian tradition that there tends to be a bit more centralization although not like us Latins. The patriarchs of the Syriac traditions exercise a lot more of their personal authority than their Byzantine counterparts.
Where as Byzantine churches (Catholic and orthodox) tend to be overly decentralized and highly synodal to the point that the patriarch really has no significant authority (although the Code of Canons allows eastern patriarchs supreme authority in their territories/patriarchate/ churches).
What are the similarities and what are the differences? If anyone know much detail about their respective ecclesiologies
