shameful

[Paul Younan]

Shlama Akhay.

There was never any relation between Antioch and Seluecia. Of course those who wish to alter history will try to assert that the Catholicos in Babylon was appointed by antioch. This theory has been disproved by many independent scholars like Wigram and almost all modern scholarship.

There has never been anyone in the east appointed by anyone in Antioch. Anyone claiming otherwise is from the antiochene tradition.

The Coe looked not at Antioch, but at Edessa as its heritage.

Also the myth of bar-Sauma's involvement in the trial of Babowai was written by his adversaries which is something we should keep in mind. The Coe has no belief in that fable. Often times when someone from one church was martyred the one side would blame the other, kind of like when the western Christians would blame Jews for every calamity that came their way. The Coe also has stories where someone from the Jacobite side conspired with so and so to persecute them. These allegations always have to be taken with a grain of salt.
