Somsoc: what you write is exactly how the Bishop of Rome became the Pope. Christians gave a 'little positive understanding' that lead to an 'august Rex position' in Rome. Eventually, more recently, in the 1960's (Vatican II), this authority swerved Christianity into a Modernist ecumenical movement that has neutralized Christian spiritual authority in every area. As noted ealier at the beginning of the 20th century, Pope Pius X saw this irreversible trend in Western Europe and many areas in Latin America that he identified as Modernism - he called it the 'heresy of heresies'. Now, increasingly, we find that the 'green' Patriarch Bartholomew is in tune with this initiative. It is of some concern.

And what initiative is that? And how is he in league with it? If you are refering to protecting the environment it seems that is more modernistic to pollute it and treat it as a giant dust bin. Only in Protestant traditions(particularly Calvinism) will you find the concept that when God says to subdue the Earth it means we can do what ever we want to it. After all according to them God is going to rapture everybody and eventually destroy the planet entirely so who cares what we do to it. That certainly doesn't sound very Orthodox to me.
