in reply to Demotions of monks

Some weeks ago, jdporter discussed it in the CB.

Reasoning was something like: a pope should be singular (IIRC).

And it's not a demotion, a pope is a patriarch. I can name at least two churches° which call their patriarch "pope".

updates

°) The lesser known one residing in Cairo/Egypt.

˛) A third one - even lesser known - residing in Alexandria/Egypt.
