PAPAL PRIMACY - A Hideous Ecclesiological Heresy
By Nicholas P. Vasiliades
Introduction
It
is well-known that the Papists insist upon the so-called "primacy" of the Pope
with unrelenting obstinacy. In addition, they have declared that: "Union of
Christianity means nothing else but subjugation [to the Pope], the only
representative of Christ on earth". And that "the primacy and infallibility are
not ecclesiastical decrees that the Church can annul but dogmas whose
foundations no one is in a position to shake"[1]. And furthermore that
"the Catholic Church [i.e. the papist parachurch] is not going to sacrifice
anything from its truths [note: rather its falsehoods]". "In other words", as
the Professor of Dogmatics at the Theological School of the Aristotelian University
of Thessalonica Demetrius
Tselengides writes in an epistle he sent to the Holy Community of the Holy
Mountain, "the Pope in the Latin West - through the dogmatically
consolidated "infallibility", also affirmed by the Second Vatican Council, and
through the contested primacy of authority upon the entire Church - has
arbitrarily taken the place of the Spirit of Truth in the Universal Church"[2].
The
Papists' constant reiteration of this position leaves no doubt as to what type
of union they seek through their dialogues with the Orthodox. They seek a union
modelled after the detestable Unia.... Click here
