Reflection on 10-28

Interesting to see the subtle differences between the Eastern Orthodox church and Roman Catholicism, especially in the designation of their singular leaders. For the Eastern Orthodox, the leader is centered at Constantinople and is supposedly the heir of Andrew via apostolic succession. Although a religious head, he is not a political head, like the pope was for a time during the Dark and Middle Ages.
