of heaven and earth uniting
as the Wisdom of the Divine Liturgy is revealed.
The Divine Liturgy was written by St. James in the year 54 A.D.
This is celebrated every Sunday in every Orthodox Christian church in the world... and has been for 2,000 years.
Amazing I think I listend to this 20 times in a row....
Christos Anesti!

These claims of the pope are what separated and continually separate Rome from the Orthodox Church.
Orthodox Christians pray that Rome will one day humble herself, repent of her errors, and be received back into communion with the One Holy Orthodox, Apostolic, and Truly Catholic Church of Jesus Christ.

And yet, 500 years later (1073 A.D.) Pope Gregory VII issued these official statements:
"The Roman pontiff alone is rightly to be called 'universal'... He himself may be judged by no one... None shall be considered 'Catholic' who are not in conformity with the Roman church... The Roman church has never erred, nor ever shall err to all eternity."
Ironically, Rome had just "erred" in the very first sentence.

Consider the words of a pre-schism pope:
"Whoever calls himself, or desires to be called 'Universal Priest,' is in his elation the precursor of anit-Christ."
- Pope St. Gregory the Great (588 A.D.)

When viewed in light of this famous Vincentian Canon of Universality, Antiquity, and Consent... Papal infallibility falls flat on its face. It is the Universal COUNCIL of bishops that is the ultimate authority of the Church. The Body of Christ is not led by Papal Monarchy but rather Collegial Tradition.

"CATHOLICITY will indeed be ours if we follow Universality, Antiquity, and Consent... We shall follow Consent, if in antiquity we follow the definitions and opinions held by ALL or nearly all the ancient Bishops and Doctors."
- St Vincent of Lerins (450 A.D.)

The Nicene Creed (325 A.D.) says "I believe in One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church."
The Orthodox Church is not divided. All her members share the one common Chalice. Therefore She is indeed "One" and "Holy."
However, Rome's insistence on Papist supremacy undermines the very word "Catholic."

Your division undermines the Nicene Creed!
"VNAM, sanctam, catholicam, et apostolicam ecclesiam"

And yes, the Orthodox Church has many Patriarchs, because we already have one Head: Jesus Christ our Lord, Son of God the Father, Who is eternally glorified together with the Holy Spirit, now and unto ages of ages. Amen
