The Old Orthodox Bishop of Rome Announces Resignation
12/2/13
Vatican/Global: The Old Orthodox Bishop or Rome or Bishop of Rome Pope Benedict XVI has announced his resignation over aging and declining health. His resignation will take place on 28th of February 2013. He is the first ever Pope to resign 600 years.
The Roman Catholic Church was in communion with the Orthodox Church until the great schism. It is one of the five ancient Orthodox Patriarchates of the Christian world, but sadly fall out of communion from rest of the sister Orthodox Patriarchates over a number of key theological and historical reasons. Orthodox Churches consider Pope as the Bishop of Rome and respect him with Primacy of honor (this can be only cannonically valid once the Roman Catholic Church return back to the original Orthodox communion) but completely reject all additional teaching of Roman Church including Papal infallibility.

God bless Benediktus XVI.
You know we should never fight amongst christians. Catholics & orthodox disagree, but as with all fights it takes 2 to tango.
Christ prayed for the church to be One so it is a sin to be divided and we must repent and trust in God alone.
I see you have the Christian love message down, Angelina. I am an Orthodox Christian, but I would rather spend time with Benedict than with you and your spawn any day of the week. You are a great example of why Serbs are increasingly irrelevant in the big picture. Why don’t you go home and read some more revisionist history?

Angelina: You are not a Christian. You are an anti Christian. With friends like you. no wonder Christians are being slaughtered.
