Apparently a long-standing designation for the Pope, "Patriarch of the West," has been deleted from his list of titles in the most recent Vatican yearbook. The article in which I saw this noted that this omission could have "ecumenical implications."

How so? I have never had the impression that the Eastern churches begrudged the Pope's authority over the West.

Dear Learning,

I would suggest that you refer to the ongoing discussion on this topic in Church News.

In IC XC,

Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai
