Real erudite argument. I see you still do not want do address the internal tautology of your position.

But seriously, by Greeks you refer to our four patriarchates against your measly pathetic one that's headquartered in that backwater cesspool of a town called Rome.

Decisions in the Church have never been made by a vote of patriarchates. Take a look at the following map and tell me where the majority of the Church was:

Thank you. I liked it and see no need to inspect it. Nifty map. I like the way you managed to cut out the patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. That was slick. Also, the West was larger in extent but not in population or in commercial might or in book larnin'. Nor was its military prowess much to brag about until about a century later. And Rome had become a backwater town because when St. Constantine moved the Senate to Constantinople, Rome lost a lot of clout.
