The "fire" behind the smoke is more important!

I would have expected some of the early popes to be from Asia and / or Egypt.indophile wrote:Is the first Pope from outside Europe?
Edit: The very first one, Peter, was a Palestinian Jew.

He is the 1st Pope in a 1000 years from outside Europe. The Pope used to sit not in Rome but in Constantinople at one time.

I thought that was Avignon, not Constantinople. As far as I recall, they had five patriarchs in early Christianity, with those of Rome and Constantinople claiming primacy over each other. (The others were Alexandria, Antioch and one more I can't recall). They finally parted ways about 1,500 years ago and the office of the Patriarch of Rome became the papacy.Hellsangel wrote:trofimov wrote:I would have expected some of the early popes to be from Asia and / or Egypt.indophile wrote:Is the first Pope from outside Europe?

Just saw this... the last pope born in Africa held office until 496 CE. The last pope born in Asia was a Syrian who was in office until 741 CE. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_popes

I notice that atheistic SU-CH scholars are really interested in who the Pope is!
Obviously, the jihad of atheistic mujahideen has already started!

Guruvu-gaaru, it is high time you joined forces with the "gown wallahs" as you call them to defend yourself from the atheistic mujahideen. We don't want that monkey-in-the-closet to convert you to atheism while you are asleep.Vakavaka Pakapaka wrote:I notice that atheistic SU-CH scholars are really interested in who the Pope is!

Even with all kinds of disenchantment (women, birth control, abortion, etc.), and grumblings, the structure of catholic church remains intact, and the respect for Pope has been undiminished through all these centuries. Compare that to the Caliphs of muslims; they are gone for good and the fundamentalism has increased, if anything.

I think the papacy is a declining institution. They are not helping their longevity with the way they deal with contraception, child abuse, women's rights, gay rights, etc. I see respect for the Pope eroding because of these issues.indophile wrote:Even with all kinds of disenchantment (women, birth control, abortion, etc.), and grumblings, the structure of catholic church remains intact, and the respect for Pope has been undiminished through all these centuries.

May be that could happen in the future if the leadership will not adopt. But the history shows that they did adopt to changes taking place around them (the Earth moves around the Sun - type adoptations, not sure about the theory of evolution however).
