Just noticed that most of the Popes are listed on the Advanced Timeline, but I don't see any of the Patriarchs of the Eastern church. Is this just an oversight, or am I missing something?

    It is one of many oversights you will find in Logos regarding the non-Western church.  They are improving so keep the complaints and suggestions coming.

    It's really easy to be myopic when it comes to our faith traditions. When I was working on an update to the Accordance timeline, I added all the major Protestant Reformers, because they were the first things that came to mind when we were expanding beyond the biblical era. I thought I was almost done, then realized I'd ignored the Catholic Church almost completely. I  finished that, and thought I was done (again). It wasn't till then that I realized I'd completely forgotten the Eastern Church.

    And I'll bet you never thought to include the Oriental Orthodox churches ...

    At that point, I handed off the project to someone else. I don't think they were ever added. It might have been related to time constraints too.
