People are always beating up on Mark of Ephesus for being so "anti-Papal." Well, let's just have a little look-see at the Basel-Ferrara-Florence. Ohhh, look at that the celebrated Latin priest John of Segovia who didn't believe in Papal supremacy yet defended the Immaculate Conception!? And, what's this he only became a "Papist" when the anti-Pope turned out to be a lame-brain? Well, anyway John got made a bishop when he changed sides to the real Pope, despite his frothing at the mouth against the Council of Florence, Papal authority, and Eugenius IV. Poor Mark Eugenicus! If he would have just supported the anti-Pope maybe them Latins would have treated him a little nicer too!
