I am sorry, Doug Loss, but you have your history a little skewed. In 1054 a papal legate working under the lapsed authority of a pope who had already died excommunicated one man, the Patriarch of Constantinople, not the entire eastern church. Since then Rome has repeatedly sought to repair the breach, only to be rebuffed by the Orthodox. Make your claims based on alleged false doctrines held by Rome if you must, but let us keep the history straight. Rome never sought to separate herself from the eastern churches, this was the work of an increasingly hostile Constantinople which in time was followed by the other eastern patriarchates.
Then you say that Rome repeatedly tried to bring itself back into communion with Orthodoxy only to be rebuffed? I don’t seem to recall all those efforts. In fact, Rome had been separating itself from the rest of Christendom for some centuries before the schism occurred. The excommunication you talk about only formalized it.
