Because that is Traditional Catholic teaching and popes are supposed to uphold Catholic teaching. According to Catholic teaching, the Orthodox is in schism. I don’t expect you to agree.

“According to Catholic teaching, the Orthodox is in schism. I don’t expect you to agree.”

Of course there’s a schism, and you folks are welcome back anytime....

The foregoing notwithstanding, what does the schism have to do with who is or is not a member of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church? The fact that our bishops and your bishops are not in communion has nothing, from a theological stand point, to do with the validity of your sacraments or ours. Indeed, as I am informed, I am welcome to receive any sacrament from your priests. If I am not “Catholic”, how can that be?
