>what you asked earlier was based on a certain premise that YOU YOURSELF framed.
I've asked lots of things earlier, and I'm not sure which of the earlier things DrDrV is now referring to.


>There is no premise whatsoever to my question other than , , ,

There's probably more premises than DrDrV would like to admit.

>one can assume there is supposed to be a Patriarch of Kiev - since all Orthodox, or just about all Orthodox, would agree there is supposed to be one.
By his admitting that he assumed it,
does DrDrV demonstrate that he did not prove it.

Nor has he yet proved it.

All Orthodox would agree that the a bishop of Kiev - is to be determined by Orthodox Kievians.

And of course, DrDrV failed to prove that I am Kievian.

>There, that's settled

It is settled that DrDrV assumed one premise,
which is not the same as him proving any.

Luke 11:53-54
When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects, plotting against Him to catch Him in something He might say.
