It’s such an interesting story that it’s twice as nice?
I know you’re a Romanist but do the Easterners consider him a great martyr for their religion?
Since he was condemned as a heretic, I guess not. But Orthodox don’t seem to think in patterns which I find predictable, so I’m hesitant to draw any syllogisms.
Oh, by the way... The term is “Catholic,” not “Romanist.” Just as “Orthodox” doesn’t imply that Catholics aren’t orthodox, neither does Catholic imply that Orthodox aren’t catholic. A Protestant (or other non-Catholic Christian) calling a Catholic “Romanist” is just as offensive as a Catholic calling a Protestant “Apostate” or “Schismatic.”
For the record, the Vatican isn’t in Rome. It’s in exile, across the Tiber, from Babylon. (Hence, “crossing the Tiber” is a deeply ironic expression, since the person who “crosses the Tiber” from the Catholic Church would be entering Babylon.)
