The Eastern Orthodox Church is opposed to the Roman Catholic doctrine of papal supremacy. While not denying that some form of primacy could exist for Rome's bishop, Orthodox Christians argue that the tradition of Rome's primacy in the early Church was not equivalent to the current doctrine of supremacy. ==Orthodox understanding of Catholicity== The test of authentic catholicity is adherence to the authority of the Church's ''Holy Tradition,'' and then to the witness of Sacred "Scripture," which is itself a product of the Church's aforementioned ''Holy Tradition.'' It is not defined by adherence to any particular See. It is the position of the Orthodox Church that it has never accepted the pope as ''de jure'' leader of the entire church. All bishops are equal 'as Peter' therefore every church under every bishop (consecrated in apostolic succession) is fully complete (the original meaning of ''catholic''). Referring to Ignatius of Antioch〔Epistle to the Smyrnaeans - Chapter VIII.-Let Nothing Be Done Without the Bishop.〕 Carlton says The church is in the image of the Trinity〔Lossky, V., (2002) ''The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church'', (St Vladimirs Seminary Press; Crestwood, NY), p.176〕 and reflects the reality of the incarnation. Any changes to the understanding of the church would reflect a change in the understanding of the Trinity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eastern Orthodox opposition to papal supremacy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
