Entry: Kosovo on the Thames Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/kosovo_on_the_thames#17460 Post contents: Sid - The Ravenna Document is not a breakthrough. It simply restates what the Orthodox Church has always known, and which most Catholics do not. Prior to the schismatic actions of the Bishop of Rome, the Bishops of the other 4 Holy Sees recognized him as first among equals. This conferred no special powers that the other sees did not have. It is only in Catholic spin that it appears that the document recognized the Pope as the vicar of Christ on Earth, which the Orthodox never have, and never will. Sent at: 2009 01 08
