For wan election of whom? The UCC's primate's title is major archbishop not patriarch.
ReplyDeleteThat depends on the person you ask. If you ask a Greek Catholic they might well say Patriarch. If you ask Rome (for primarily political reasons) they will say Major Archbishop . Major Archbishop is really a made up term that just came about in the last 50 or so years.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with allot of "Eastern Catholic" priests and Hierarches not having beards. Isn't that a latinization?. I can understand if you can't grow one. Icons painted in the future with male Eastern Catholic saints without beards is going to look very odd indeed.Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteRobert: Short answer: yes.
