Our friend Augustus dishes out a healthy helping of Papal authority, but whoops, the donation of Constantine?! Well, anyway, at least all those Orthodox and Levebrists out there will be overjoyed that the medieval Latin tradition acknowledged that Popes and can be heretics. Even if it is not fashionable to do so nowadays, the theology is still valid. This of course puts the Council of Florence in a little different perspective since this document was the basis of the official studies (entrusted to the Franciscans) on the debates of Papal Supremecy. Imagine our friend Mark of Ephesus surrounded by Conciliarists on one side calling for the supremecy of the Council over Pope, and on the other side the Dominicans and Franciscans admitting (like the Greeks) that the Pope can be heretical...whew! How in the world did Mark call the Pope "Vicar of Christ", "the plenitude", the "the first among priests", his "most holy Father", and how on earth did he express his filial love for the Pope so much? Well, let's just say he was more of a Papist than most of the Latins of his day (see the Greek acta)!
