Caution: hot potato...

During 1009-1046 the Franco-Latins completed their expulsion of the Orthodox Romans from the Church of Old Rome and finally replaced them with themselves, thus inventing today's Papacy.
    Fr. John Romanides

Neither from the 7th century till 1054, nor since, have the Franco-Latin bishops and popes have had the slightest knowledge of, or interest in, the cure of the human personality via the purification and illumination of the heart and glorification (theosis). They still have a magical understanding of apostolic succession which many Orthodox have also have been accepting since the so-called reforms of Peter the Great.
    Fr. John Romanides


Just a little something to ponder at this current juncture...

I see no PHOTOS here, but the claims of the papacy certainly sound INCREDIBLE.

Said claims were also pretty incredible when they were accusing the Orthodox of being heritics.
