Sunday night, CBS aired a special on the Ecumenical Patriarch on 60 minutes. While there was some clear misunderstandings in the reporting (for the record, the Ecumenical Patriarch is NOT equivalent to an Orthodox pope!), there were some interesting facts that were shared. Personally, I am always ambivalent on seeing Orthodox in the news...while the publicity is definitely beneficial in one sense (people now know we exist), it can be harmful as the Truth of Orthodoxy is distorted by reporters and media with a violently anti-traditionalist agenda. I hope that the few clips shared below are more beneficial than not:

To watch the entire 60 minutes clip on the Patriarch (it's actually only about 20 minutes long), see the link below; but again, there are numerous factual errors, so please take it with a grain of salt:
