It seems that all one has to do, is to look to Polycarp, and know that 99.99% of the "churches" are wrong, including the papacy. And when you people complain about protest, many protestants were persecuted by Calvin and Luther and the like. To me, most that call themselves "protestant" are not. They cling to many of the things they can only find in the Roman Bishop's declaration. And I encounter plenty of so called Orthodox, just doing the exact thing most " Protestants" do. And the solution seems simple: Study Polycarp and see that he kept the same practices we see in the Bible. You don't have to twist scripture to do the things he taught. Easy to defend and support.

IMHO, it's ok, it's definitely not as powerful and semi-ground breaking as his work on the Filioque and I think that is largely because, at least in my opinion, he has more or less just regurgitated the streamlined views from Roman Catholics and Anglican scholars on the Papacy. Keep in mind, both of those groups desperately need to read the Vatican I claims into the early Church: the Catholics because that is what their councils claim was the situation and the Anglicans because it justifies their break with the RCC since they can then argue the rot was so deep and so intrinsic that they were forced into joining the Reformation.

Vatican admitted no supremacy of Rome over Eastern sees existed in first 1000 years. Quote.... 19. Over the centuries, a number of appeals were made to the bishop of Rome, also from the East, in disciplinary matters, such as the deposition of a bishop. An attempt was made at the Synod of Sardica (343) to establish rules for such a procedure.(14) Sardica was received at the Council in Trullo (692).(15) The canons of Sardica determined that a bishop who had been condemned could appeal to the bishop of Rome, and that the latter, if he deemed it appropriate, might order a retrial, to be conducted by the bishops in the province neighbouring the bishop’s own. Appeals regarding disciplinary matters were also made to the see of Constantinople,(16) and to other sees. Such appeals to major sees were always treated in a synodical way. Appeals to the bishop of Rome from the East expressed the communion of the Church, but the BISHOP OF ROME DID NOT EXERCISE CANONICAL AUTHORITY OVER THE CHURCHES OF THE EAST. - Synodality And Primacy During The First Millennium, Chieti, 21 September 2016
