لماذا لم أرى قداسة البابا شنودة فى جنازة البابا يوحنا بولس؟

[copticpride]

I did not see the Patriarch of Constaninople, who is the head of the Eastern orthodox Church or any of the prominent EO church hierarchs. That is one thing to consider .

The other thing to put in mind that the Roman Pope never attends any funderal of an orthodox Pope or Patriarch but send a delegate, usually a cardinal. The message sent here is that the orthodox Patriarch or Pope is in the rank of a Cardinal and not equal to the Pope of Rome, which is the heresy of Roman Supremacy and the Petrine Primacy and all this unfounded dogmas.

So, by not attending, you signal that you reject this teaching.
and in addition, which is most important, you object to the enormous consequences of the Supremacy claims along the history. Also, when H.H. Pope Shenouda went to the Vatican in 1973, he was not received by the Pope, but by a Bishop , which was an insult to the COptic Church. The favor was returned when the late Pope JP II visited Egypt and H.H. did not meet him in the airport.
