[Cronos]

in communion and ruled by the Pope

Sticking to that section of your sentence alone, you're wrong -- the Eastern Catholic Churchs are not "ruled" by the Pope in any way, their Patriarchs are EQUALS of the Roman Bishop.

First of all, this thread is still going??!!!

Second, in the Catholic Church, the Pope has supremacy. The bishops and patriarchs of the Eastern rites can be replaced by the Pope at any time. This hasn’t been done very often, as the agreements are that those rites have a a large measure of autonomy.
