I added an infobox and referencing from The Catholic Encyclopedia, the version from which it comes being in the public domain. I didn't feel wholly comfortable copying wholesale from my source (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05639a.htm) despite this. Should anybody else feel so inclined, there's my source. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 14:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV

The Eastern Patriarchy of Alexandria underwent a schism in the nineteenth century, with half of its adherents entering communion with Rome and the other half entering a closer communion with Constantinople. As with many such events it was quite complex and there were political influences on both sides. Currently, those in communion with Rome call themselves "Melkite" the other half call themselves "Greek Orthodox". Both stand in the line of the tradition of the Alexandrian Patriarchy, both liturgically and theologically, and there have been proposals for re-union, although these have been criticised by both Catholics and Orthodox aboutside of the Alexandrian tradition. However both this page - and all other pages about the Alexandrian Patriarchy - present the pre-schism period as being in direct continuity with the "Greek Orthodox" side and completely ignore the "Melkite" side. Really this period applies to both equally. Patriarch Eutychius is described as "Greek Orthodox" in this article, but could equally be described as "Melkite". This is not a neutral position. 82.110.160.178 (talk) 11:31, 28 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
