Claim

The 2013 Moscow Patriarchate position affirms primacy at multiple ecclesial levels and historical Roman primacy of honor in the first millennium, but rejects transferring diocesan/local governing powers to a universal first hierarch and rejects a divinely instituted universal jurisdiction of the Roman bishop. v57 treats this as one major Orthodox institutional formulation, not as exhaustive of all Orthodox views.

Interpretive Evidence Audit

Documented Reception Only · Curated Pass As Reception History

Inference depth: Moderate · Original-meaning weight: No Automatic Original Meaning Weight

Publish with the stated classification and boundaries. Reception records remain separate from original-meaning evidence, and later doctrinal arrows remain visible rather than being folded into Matthew 16.

Quality-gate boundary: This audit measures evidentiary support and inferential distance. It does not make the Codex infallible or convert scholar/tradition authority into evidence.

This profile distinguishes the current Archive evidence chain from historical origin. The earliest loaded witness is not a claim that the idea originated there.

Chronology boundary: “Earliest in the curated Codex corpus” is not a claim of historical origin. Missing earlier records cannot be treated as evidence that a premise did not exist.

That every Orthodox theologian or autocephalous church articulates primacy identically.
