Pope is the people (and the list), while Papacy is the office and the larger adminstrative picture. I guess we need entries on [Patriarchate of Constantinople]?, too. Much less accessible in English, by the way. --MichaelTinkler
Imperialisation is (1) a horrid usage and (2) tendentious. In fact, it was a de-imperialisation, since it is a time in which the imperial influence was waning over the papacy and instead dominating the patriarchy of Constantinople. We are not bound by the nomenclature established by 19th century Church historians. --MichaelTinkler
