No, instead, puppet patriarchs of Constantinople called orthodox men heretics, and in the case of Maximus the Confessor cut out his tongue and cut off his hand so he could not longer speak or write..

It's plain historically that the only problem Rome has with puppet patriarchs or patriarchates is which side the chips fall on with relation to Rome.

It’s plain historically that the only problem Orthodoxy would have with some patriarchs or patriarchates would be their loyalty to Rome if they swam the Tiber.
