Lies.
I denied that the sack of Constantinople played the primary part in creating that schism, and nothing more. And this is the truth.
Quote:Oh, and it is precisely because of what you say -- that they have essentially irreconsiliable differences -- that makes either side forgiving the sack of constantinople so, so hard that they still haven't done it 800 years later.
By this reasoning, the Catholic church has more in common with the Muslim world than it does with Orthodoxy, seeing as how the Pope apologized for the crusades. This is obviously untrue, as last I knew the Catholics and Orthodox recognized each other's sacraments as valid and made steps towards cooperation if not unification, whereas the followers of Muhammad are still heathens lost to the Lord. I am thus confirmed in saying that the issue of Constantinople is either forgotten by all or only held by a small (but perhaps vicious, what do I know) party.
