Bishop: Dost thou renounce the erroneous belief of those who think that the Pope of Rome is superior to the Ecumenical Councils, and infallible in faith, notwithstanding the fact that several of the Popes have been heretics, and condemned as such by the Councils?

If that's supposed to be an accurate statement of Catholic belief ... well, it isn't.

Meanwhile, here are some more errors to denounce.

The difference is that the Orthodox readily agree that the Pope is the Chairman of the board of the Church but not dictator of the church. The board members have an equal seat at the council where the Pope serves as first among equals. The Orthodox still remember and honor all pre schisim Popes.

Don't go schooling me on Catholic history just yet...

Oh, that's rich. I'm so persuaded. Perhaps now would be a good time to talk about Pope Leo IX and his use of what is arguably the most notorious forgery in history.

On second thought, let's not and say we did.
