    1. That's the first pic but the 2nd and 4th are even more concerning. The 2nd shows him right before he devours a child and the 4th shows his gluttony as he prepares to devour a poor farmer's livestock. Has he no shame? No. No, he doesn't.

  5. "Apostolic Visit" seems to be apeing a certain someone's language...

    1. Does anyone know the actual history of the use of "Apostolic Visit" by the EP and the ancient sees of the East in general?

    2. I can't find evidence of any other Orthodox church using it. The Syriac Orthodox patriarch does when he goes to India, but this is under obvious Roman influence.

    1. Considering the gross offense the poster alone presents I think folks are being quite civil

    2. Michael,

      What exactly is the "gross offense" of the poster? Ecumenical Patriarchate, New Rome, and such language 1600 years old - even granting the traditional tension with Orthodoxy between "strong" and "weak" interpretations of the EP's canonical role. Irenic meetings with Popes and the like are newer, but now at least 60 years old (older than that if you included WCC, etc.) and yes, there is a tension within the Church about the real effects of these largely symbolic and "political" actions but they are certainly 'legitimate' and not heretical or against Holy Dogma per se and the sorts of things a "universal" bishop would naturally do. What exactly is "grossly uncivil" about the EP and this poster?

  9. It is a marketing/sales poster that is so far beyond the sobriety and humility of a Bishop it just makes me sick.

    1. It is a good example of the work of an adman, no argument there.

  10. All modern advertising seeks to manipulate we "consumers". I wonder, where does "rightly dividing the word of Truth" come in?
