do you have an opinion on Irineos?

No, not at all. My only opinion on the subject is that it is strange to me that the PA and Jordan and Israel has any say in the appointment of the head of any Church. I think Americas pattern is far better. This is one thing I think Israel is wrong on. Just because the PA and Jordan insist on the right to veto Church heads does not make it right for Israel to do the same.

I wish they would adopt a more American approach and ban all third party input. After all is it not silly to have to have a 2/3 moslem vote on what Christians do? But it does explain why the Orthodox Churches over here are often quite pro-Palestinian, the Palestinians pick their Church heads by process of elimination. If the Church wants to have a head, it must suck up to the PA and the Jews both. As the Jews will pass any person that has no strong history of Anti-Semitism, It means the best the Church in PA areas can hope for is a mildly anti-Israel Leader. The Moslems will allow only Pro-PA people in office.
