Thanks, but I don't really need you to interpret "Rome" for me.
Surely you are not suggesting
I meant exactly what I said. Christian unity is commanded by Christ himself; schism is the result of sin.
Orthodoxy has "succumbed to the world" over and over again. Usually it was the Pope of Rome who pulled your chestnuts out of the fire. cf Iconoclasm, Monophysitism, Arianism, etc.
“Usually it was the Pope of Rome who pulled your chestnuts out of the fire.”
Up to the 8th century you are absolutely right...and you have seen me say exactly that on multiple occasions. Since the 8th century, and especially since the 11th century, having broken with the Patriarchates of the East, Rome has lived another life altogether.
