According to the testimony of the delegation of the Patriarch, the donation seems to have been impromptu, unscripted, and perhaps insensitive to Roman Catholic sensibilities; The Bishop of Rome is said to have explained that &#8220;I&#8221; no longer use the apostolic palace, and &#8220;I&#8221; no longer use the pontifical chapel. Francis who at times seeks to empower local churches has perhaps acted rather autocratically. Under the terms of international heritage and patrimony law the transfer would likely be judged as an invalid transfer or destruction of universal patrimony by an improper authority. The relics of Peter since time immemorial belong to the spiritual patrimony of Rome and the Church universal, not to a given pope in any historical moment to dispose of as he wishes. In fact, the papal donation seems to evidence the problematic practise of the contemporary papacy that Orthodoxy critiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecupatria.org\/2019\/07\/01\/pope-francis-of-rome-gave-relics-of-saint-peter-to-the-church-of-constantinople\/\">https:\/\/www.ecupatria.org\/2019\/07\/01\/pope-francis-of-rome-gave-relics-of-saint-peter-to-the-church-of-constantinople\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ecumenical Patriarch was first to announce on July 1 that Pope Francis gave the reliquary containing the bones of Peter, separated from the basilica&#8217;s confessio by St. Pope Paul VI, to Constantinople.
