Well since we're forgiving each other for historical grievances I think Catholics need to do a little bit of forgiving too.

On behalf of the Catholics here I would like to say that we forgive our Eastern brethren for all of the horrible things they have done throughout the years, but especially for....

- 378 AD loosing the Battle of Adrianople which led to the downfall of the Western Roman Empire
- 410 AD Complete inaction when Alaric and his Visigoth Army sacked Rome
- 476 AD Doing absolutely nothing when Odoacer deposed the last Western Emperor, Romulus Augustus.

Now when I remember some more of the evil things our Eastern brethren have done I'll be sure to post it

Your history is flawed. There was no division of the Church in those eras and those battles and causes for those battle were of secular origin. The Crusades was a Pope inspired and blessed army of Catholics.
