I can't see how that would happen without either you being well nigh
immortal or very great concessions on the part of your own church: stepping
back on infallibility and accepting that the holders of all the ancient
patriarchates assume the titles_papa_ and
_vicarius dei_ would be the very least, I think.
I you are saying that you would prefer that to the present state of affairs
I suppose you are quite in a minority, aren't you?

(Or do you perhaps have a Neon Henotikon and a plan to become ho Basileus
ton Basileon hid away in your drawer? ;-)
