Bartholomew I, Patriarch Constantinople | Benedict XVI, "Patriarch of Rome " |
Of the five patriarchs historical origin of Christianity, of Jerusalem, of Antioch of Alexandria of Rome and Constantinople , the last two, for various historical and political reasons, have taken the lead.
I would like to see them, like, no one dominates the other but united witness to the Christian message. So even the two apostles (and brothers) Simon Peter and Andrew , one became the first bishop of Rome and the second founder of the episcopal see to Byzantium and Constantinople, must focus on the other. So even the two rites, one Latin and the other greek. So also the question of the Trinity, if the Holy Spirit descends from the Father alone (ex patre procedit here, as I believe in Orthodox) or down from the Father and the Son ( ex patre filioque procedit here, as in Catholicism) theological issues that should not become swords of his ego, but personal opinions which is not the only commandment that Jesus gave us:
I give you a new commandment:
that you love one another as I have loved, so
you also love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another
that you love one another as I have loved, so
you also love one another.
By this all men will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another
