It seems that this is papacy week for me. After the last post I made about a book I had read on the development of the papacy I came across a document called The Role of the Bishop of Rome in the Communion of the Church in the First Millenniumissued by the Joint Coordinating Committee for the Theological Dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. I think the content of that document reflects the Orthodox view of the papacy very well, and while long, is much shorter than a book, so enjoy.
