As catholic we all have to submit to the our POPE as our spiritual leader

I see. I have learned in my studies that the Greek Orthodox Church has a pope too.

My question is this: Who do you think is the authentic pope? Is it the pope in the vatican City or the Pope in the Greek Orthodox Church?

^Yes indeed ang gospel last Thursday or Wednesday is about mortification of comfort, to deny one's self of the earthly comforts which binds us (mostly) to our earthly desire making us prone to sins.
Karonang gospel nindot pud kaayo.

Simba diay ka kada-adlaw?

ah dili pud, naga-basa lang ko sa Mass readings kada-adlaw.

^^ I think the internal struggle is not only for the Christians but also to other religions as well. It's a choice to always choose GOOD and avoid EVIL!

of course, of course...

Will the word POPE in the orthodox church is even not correct by itself, the Orthodox church have there PATRIACH and have PATRIACHATE which are autocephalous from one another. They are devided two major groups or churches they are the Western and Eastern orthodox churches.

If we are going to trace the history of the Papacy and both the history of both catholic and orthodox chuches we could see that it is the POPE in rome who should be the head of the church, however during the grate schism in 1054 AD.these orthodox churces considered the POPE as first among equals by First Council of Constantinople.

So, the pope in the vatican is more authentic than the great patriarch in the Orthodox church?

[st.anthony]

on the otherhand we can also see the main reason of the schism was more of a Polical strugle between the new rome which is BYZANTINE and with ROME itself. yuu can check that in the encyclopedia for referrence. moreover in Doctrines we differ in some points with regards to the priesthood, the understanding of the Holy Spirit with the despute with the FILIQUE. and the rest all the same

[st.anthony]

Both are authentic, the only difference is that there office since both follow the line of succession
