It lost its beauty and balance, and was deprived of the wealth of the grace of the Holy Spirit,

You apparently take offense over a claim that Rome has a monopoly on the Holy Spirit, even though Rome never claimed that. But then you do not hesitate to claim that Rome is deprived of the wealth and grace of the Holy Spirit.

Go figure. Double standards all over the place here.

Of course it is offensive to Orthodoxy that the popes claim to have that ultimate monopoly. It also grieves us that by making such a claim Rome has fallen from a beacon of Orthodoxy into heresy. Where is the double standard there?
