You have no concept of what primacy is, or what it involves. It doesn't mean the right to appoint Bishops. The appointment of Bishops is a relatively modern thing (elections were the old method). But primacies have always been there.

I assure you I do know what primacy involves. That is why I have already posted that the Eastern Church accorded a Primacy of Honor to the Bishop of Rome.

It is the misuse of this meaning by some RC's on this thread that I am responding to. I admit I overstated several times with my bolded NO PRIMACY! in my response to Dave. He knows what I mean. It is a secret code. Sorry.

One is either prime or not. This "honor" thing is Orthodox propaganda. The Pope is not the Queen of England, whose power is only titular.
