>>Well, that’s certainly the Roman Catholic line. However we Orthodox have gotten on quite well since Rome went her way. Moving on...
I agree. But in the context of the Roman “they split so they aren’t a real church” story (which I was responding to), the Eastern Church has split since letting Rome go its own way.
As I pointed out, I do not think that splits along theological/soteriological/eschatological lines are bad as long as Christ still reigns over all. I do think that the American type of split over music styles or the color of the bathroom fixtures is wrong.
Apologies. I had intended that as a general reply. It should have gone to post #1. I appreciate your response though.
