I've read the link to the bio on him and honestly can't understand what his complaints were? Why is it unreasonable to assume that St. Paul, at least acknowledged St Peters supremacy over him, even if it wasn't exercised at all by the latter?

And those people are absurd. I was free from the "powers" of the Roman Pontiff for 18 years of my life as a Protestant Christian. I entered the Roman Catholic Church on my own accord, and despite all the anti-Catholic indoctrination I had received as a Protestant in the Holiness Movement. |

I think we are falling into a hole here, both Orthodox and Roman Catholic alike. Questing the orthodoxy of our mutual Saints is dangerous and a slippery slope indeed. I'm not sure that was what was intended, but the graphic response it elicited certainly shows that a raw nerve was touched.
That, and the topic of this thread is a book which has not yet been discussed. |

It's interesting to me to hear Orthodox Christians point out differences and disagreements between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, because I find that if Catholics point out differences and disagreements between Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Orthodox are offended.

Granted, some of those cases are a matter of Catholics presenting the differences in an offensive manner. And Orthodox doing the same thing, sadly. I think it is quite possible to point out differences dispassionately without resorting to emotionalism and hyperbole. The way in which we talk about faith matters is extremely important. I don't think we often realize the damage we do to others when we go about it the wrong way. We turn people off to any understanding at all because of our faulty methods. |

Polemical titles are nothing new in Orthodoxy--some of the literature from the 1600s has titles that many today would consider "over the top." I have to admit that sometimes I enjoy cleverly-constructed polemical titles, even if I am one of the least confrontational people around  That being said, the title of this book cannot compare to the experts of catchy and polemical titles, the Synod in Resistance. For instance: The Heresy of Ecumenism and the Patristic Stand of the Orthodox “Ecclesiological Ostriches” Orthodox Catholicity or Papocentric Globalism? Titles like that make an "exodus from Roman Catholicism" seem rather pedestrian |

I do not think the reason has been determined, but I have heard there is some veneration for him as a martyr. Assassination by papist agents (whether or not the pope supported it or not) is not new. The same thing happened to Patriarch Cyril Lukaris of blessed memory, whose character was later assassinated as well through the continuing libel that he was a Calvinist. He was, instead, a defender of Orthodoxy against papism, and also anathematized Calvinism and the confession regrettably ascribed to him. |
