Agreed, the Pope is not the head of Christianity because Eastern Orthodox Christians have no voice in the Catholic Church. Just the same, Catholic problems are not Orthodox problems.

Eastern Orthodoxy does not have a choice or vote in matters concerning the Pope. Eastern Orthodoxy has already setup a system that is not controlled by one MAN, rather, a board.

Eastern Orthodoxy is the Granddaddy of them all. I mean that respectfully. Additionally, many have no idea that Eastern Orthodoxy has had to battle Leftist Atheist Communism and Islam for decades and centuries yet it has still survived thanks to the Gusle and iron faith.

Oh, give me a BREAK! Christ is the King. Are you going to deny that because you didn't get a chance to vote Him into office? What does your vote have to do with whether or not someone is a king? What does your vote have to do with who HE appoints to be His Vicar?

Are you guys really this ignorant of monarchy or are you all just having me on?

Dude, you ARE having me on! This is that Monty Python skit, "Holy Grail."

King Arthur: "Who is your lord?"

Old Woman:"We don't have a lord."

King Arthur: "What?"

Dennis:"I told you, We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune, we take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all of the decisions of that officer must be approved at a bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but a two-thirds majority.."

King Arthur: "Be quiet! I order you to shut up!"

Old Woman: "Order? Who does he think he is!"

King Arthur: "I am your king!"

Old Woman:"Well, I didn't vote for you."

King Arthur: "You don't vote for kings!"

Old Woman:"Well, how did you become king then?"

King Arthur: "The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held Excalibur aloft from the bosom of the water to signify by Divine Providence ... that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur ...That is why I am your king!"

Dennis: "Look, strange women lying on their backs in ponds handing out swords ... that's no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

Except, in this case, modern Christians would say, "Look, strange men hanging from crosses handing out keys, that's no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical crucifixion ceremony."
