It's a doozy. In the year 1054 Pope Leo IX's representative, Cardinal Humbert deposited a Bull of Excommunication against Michael Cerularius, Patriarch of Constantinople, on the altar at Hagia Sophia just before worship would commence. That act initiated the Great Schism between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christian Churches, which would go on for a thousand years.
Thank you for posting that time line. That certainly answers a lot of questions I had.
That’s an Orthodox timeline which makes the Greek Church the one & only in the True Christianity department, and relegates all the others to the outer darkness of heresy.
Kinda like how the Mormons see Christians. And BTW is there only sweetness & light between the Russian Church & the Greek Church in that timeline? You know, those folks who call Moscow the “Third Rome”?
Those bearded Greeks ready to riot over the Pope’s arrival need to realize that appearances count. Some look rather Islamic, don’t you know?
It was I believe on the issues of both the Holy Spirit and how holy communion bread is to be made. Catholics have have unleaven, Orthodox and I could be wrong, do not. Correct me if needed. Thank-you.
