True but I mean, I can lay claim to the thrones of France and Scotland, but it’s not like those claims will be recognized by any validating authority.

Assuming you are not in fact some long-lost heir (somehow) to either, claims to Apostolic succession by the relevant churches at least have more validity in that those churches had it in some form (well, some of them) at some point

I can trace my lineage to both Thrones. Granted, I’m like 7 millionth in line to both non existent thrones but it’s there

Ah, so your point does actually logically follow for my pedant nature
Carry on

[Bienenhalde]

that Eastern Orthodox bishops who broke communion with Rome would not have apostolic succession either?

Let's try and avoid dragging this one up again, and instead of arguing over who broke with whom first, try and agree that we broke with each other.

That's me trying to be conciliatory.

Historically, Cardinal Humbert's excommunication of Patriarch Michael in 1054 came four days before the Patriarch retaliated by excommunicating the Cardinal and his fellow legates.

Well, I am neutral about the split between the Catholic and Orthodox churches. I would say both sides are partially to blame. But yeah, your first sentence is pretty reasonable.

[Angleter]

At this rate they'll be finishing the synod with a Harlem Shake.

Didn’t they have someone flipping around (some call it dancing) on the stage? And the first row of, clearly aged individuals, tried clapping along?

Yes.

We've also now got whatever this is.

Can't pay attention, currently being mind-blown that the Vatican has an official Twitter account

Oh... oh no... Tagle... what u doin... pls.. no stahp.

I'm trying to get him to stop out of embarrassment more than his character, though. He's been a pretty good cardinal so far.

Of course I'd love for him to be a little more strong in his opposition with our fascist president the way Cardinal Sin was, but that's another thing entirely.

[Dylar]

Took me a minute to realize that Cardinal Sin is a person and not a mortal sin or the Powerwolf song...

Trump is practically the Cardinal Sins incarnate though

Duterte being out of the news for a little while actually had me confused there for a minute.

Meh...I preferred him over the other candidates 2 years ago, but this isn't the place to discuss that...

I can trace my lineage to both Thrones. Granted, I’m like 7 millionth in line to both non existent thrones but it’s there

Well, technically the throne of Scotland and the throne of England are merged, so the throne of Scotland technically does still exist.

We of Clan Bruce will have our independence

That is the best name for a clan I've heard yet

But what if I told you it was Scotland that inherited England?

[Tarsonis]

We of Clan Bruce will rid ourselves of that baggage. Give it to France.

You imply France wants it

[Tarsonis]

As the descendant of Henry II I claim England for France

[Kowani]

I have a suspicion Russia’d be a very good customer.

[Lord Dominator]

I have a suspicion Russia’d be a very good customer.

Russia in the market for another Monarchy?

[Kowani]

I have a suspicion Russia’d be a very good customer.

As subordinates to Putin, of course.

Confounded by the fact that the Pope was dead at the time.

Which of course rendered Cardinal Humbert's attempt to serve an excommunication canonically invalid.

So technically there never was a schism...
