The Pope and the Patriarch of the West

Pope Leo I the Great

today I come to the attention of eight titles with which you can refer to the Holy Father (as reported Pontifical Yearbook of 2006):

• Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ
• ,
• Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Church
• universal ,
• Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the
• Roman Province,
• Sovereign State of Vatican City,
• Servant of the Servants of God

missing the fifth of nine historians, including the "Supreme Pontiff" and "Primate of Italy, which by Pope Leo I the Great to Benedict XVI from the fifth century at the dawn of the twenty-first century, was given, or the title of "Patriarch of the West , just deleted from the Pope in 2006.

pity that there is no more, because in my opinion important to fellowship with the Orthodox, as the Pope, in the light of the early centuries of Christianity, the fact of being bishop of Rome, home founded by the Apostle Peter , equal in importance to the other patriarchs of the East, where it is right to ask, who is in communion, as the patriarchs are among them.

The official reason seems to have fallen because they considered the concept of "the West" as it was originally in the first millennium, the West between the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Byzantine Empire. If so then would suggest the title "Patriarch of Rome, not for glory but for unity of Cristinesimo.
