[edit] Pentarchy

You are quite right. The Patriarchs in Justinian's Pentarchy were precisely those in communion with himself and with the Patriarch of his capital, not the non-Chalcedonians. Lima (talk) 19:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me altering somewhat the edit you made. There was and is no ambiguity or dispute about the identity of the sees. There was and is a dispute about who were and are the incumbents of those sees. Lima (talk) 19:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it is an anachronism to speak about the patriarchs of that time as Greek orthodox. They would surely think of themselves and speak of themselves merely as orthodox. But I will not oppose your addition of the word "Greek".

By the way, if you add something on your user page - anything at all, even a single letter, your user name will no longer appear in red in the revision histories etc. At present the red colour shows that you are still a newcomer. I wish you a happy time editing Wikipedia. Lima (talk) 20:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I didn't notice your addition of "the Holy See". I think that even today no Greek Orthodox would refer to the see of Rome as "the Holy See". But I leave it to others to fix that too. Lima (talk) 20:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I will alter it then to Bishops of Rome. I think this is quite accurate and neutral Melathron (talk) 20:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

How do you justify opposing ignoring Wikipedia policy--Carlaude (talk) 16:47, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

The article also has POV but that is a minor point for the issues at hand. I have seen articles with worse POV. --Carlaude (talk) 14:56, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
