  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I have read a little bit about the great schism that occured between the EOC and RCC in the 11th century.
What was the main poing of contention between those 2 Churches and why has the division lasted so long? Isn't this a rather large embarrassment in Christianity today, at least to those outside of Christianity? Thank you

East–West Schism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The East–West Schism of 1054, sometimes known as the Great Schism, formally divided the State church of the Roman Empire into Eastern (Greek) and Western (Latin) branches, which later became known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, respectively.

Relations between East and West had long been embittered by political and ecclesiastical differences and theological disputes.[2] Prominent among these were the issues of "filioque", whether leavened or unleavened bread should be used in the Eucharist,[3] the Pope's claim to universal jurisdiction, and the place of Constantinople in relation to the Pentarchy.[4]

IMO, the bread/last supper issue was the leading cause. All the others IIRC had been previously dealt with.

West uses unleavened bread, following the Synoptics.
East uses leavened bread, "following" John.

Answer, we were right, they were wrong. Simple.

Also, their hats are funny looking.

I wouldn't wear either one of them out on a date or to a restuarant. :)
