Coptic and Catholic Popes to meet…

…this month. Very cool, if for no other reason than that it might alert American Fundamentalists to the fact that “pope” is not simply a term cooked up by the bishop of Rome. It turns out there’s this whole ‘nother world of Christians tracing their origins back to the apostles and scad of things American Fundamentalists think were “invented by the Vatican in the Dark Ages” also are inexplicably believed by all sorts of Christian communions in East, despite the fact that they broke with the Catholic communion before there was a Vatican or a “Dark Ages”. It’s like they got this stuff from the apostles or something and not from the Pope of Rome. Weird!
