>>17410233>papism>first millennium The bishop of Rome wasn't even present at the first ecumenical council. Because Rome was an irrelevant provincial backwater with almost zero theological authority or weight. Everything was decided in debates between monastics at Alexandria, Antioch, and Constantinople — the seats of Christian learning and authority. The bishop of Rome wasn't even known as a 'pope' until the 6th Century, when the Church Fathers heard the term 'pope' they thought of the Pope of Alexandria who headed the pre-eminent See in the Pentarchy.
Papism is just a whitewash and Frankish, anti-Byzantine political rewrite of Church history that emerged in the late 1000s after the marriage of the Roman bishop to Charlemagne's empire.
It is a complete lie & fabrication and catholicism is an Antichristian cult.
