[quote author=Zakhary link=topic=6212.msg83060#msg83060 date=1204145095] The word pope comes from the word "Papa" meaning father. Origionally in the Coptic Church that word was not used at all, but after the 13th pope of the Church pope Ierakulas (Herakulas) became like a "father to the Bishops and the congregation" they called him that and thereafter all the following popes.
But I think that term we got from the Roman Catholic chruch, but i am not sure.
So anyway, I was wondering, what happened to Max Michael now after he lost the case and can not be legally called a leader of the Copts and has not power on them in Egypt? Did he go somewhere else?
I am pretty sure that he is currently in the USA. Not 100% sure, but I imagine that he is - I do not think the US cares, he got 'ordained' here (in Kansas, IIRC), and so on.
