A Scriptural Refutation of the Popes Primacy

by Apostolos Makrakis

Overview

This refutation by the Greek author Apostolos Makrakis on the Pope's claim to Papal Primacy/Supremacy was written in a series of many articles published in the Athens newspaper entitled "The Logos" in the 1870s, and is translated here into English. Makrakis composed this logical disproof of the Papal claim to supremacy and infallibility in the Church as a whole. Makrakis uses various key scriptures, dogmas from the Seven Ecumenical Councils and the 1583 AD 'Sigillion' by Patriarch Jeremiah to refute a series of provoking articles in another Roman Catholic newspaper published in Syros called the "Orient." These articles were produced by a group of missionaries under the auspices of the pope in Hermoupolis (Syros) for the purposes of spreading Roman Catholicism in that part of the world.

About the Author

Dr. Apostolos Makrakis (1831-1905) was a charasmatic Greek lay theologian, preacher, ethicist, philosopher and writer who was a leader of the "awakening movement" in post-revolutionary Greece, and arguably one of the most important religious personalities of the 19th century. He was an extremely prolific writer whose works were translated widely outside of Greece. He founded the School of the Logos in Athens in September 1876 and was the Professor of philosophy and the philosophical sciences at the school. Makrakis was a patriotic visionary whose vigorous religious movement became a popular phenomenon that shook the religious and national establishment of his time. While his Christian message found strong support among the masses, his ideas were not well received by the religious establishment and even today still remains a polarizing figure within Eastern Orthodoxy.
