The Church Fathers and the Development of the Papacy

Well, I do, because that’s been my observation, and I’ve been here a long time. How long they’ll let me stay is another matter.

You may have been here longer but I have more posts.

Yes, you caught me, I prefer reading the threads to posting. Guess that makes me less knowledgeable.

This is an interesting observation, MB, and I remember reading similar ideas when I was considering monasticism many years ago. Perhaps this is why East and West actually need each other. My wife and I are very different…left brain, right brain…analytical v. sensing, etc. I need some of her emotion and feeling, she sure needs some of my logic! We sort of balance each other out.

I agree that the division is tragic. Reunion is the goal, but it has to be done the right.
