Well, we do sometimes “display” saints that way.

“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.

1. You're ignoring the fact that Rome has setup puppet patriarchs before. 2. you're trying to change the subject. 3. I think in general the Orthodox churches position is on the very limited doctrinal differences. There are certainly laity who equate Rome with Heresy on every point, but these same folks would (in many cases with valid points) accuses Pat. Bartholomew of heresy, as well as a few other recent EPs. Fortunatly neither one bishop nor one laity decide in Orthodoxy. 4. I'm not sure most orthodox could even point to the Tiber on the map...

On the Papal Throne? The famous chair that determines whether doctrine is correct or not?!
