Read about Greek Orthodox Archbishop Iakovos:

He tried to bring various branches of Orthodox church together, only to be chastised and sidestepped.

From the tone of all those "defenders" of Orthodox church, one can sense how Christian they are. What a contrast with JP II, his efforts, love and mission to right past wrongs and trying to bring back lost flocks, largely created by some rebels who wanted to be their own "jesuses".

One only has to look at the Inquistion and the millions murdered by the Roman Catholic Church to see who actually departed from the Way. Today they attempt to blame those murders on the rulers in power at the time, but they controlled those goverments.
At every turn the RCC fought and murdered those who would bring the Bible to the public. Their take on Peter being the first Pope is nonsense. Anyone familiar with the Greek language can clearly see in Matthew 16 Christ was NOT referring to Peter (Petros), but rather to the true rock (petra), which is the confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
